Purpose - This paper focuses on analyzing the effect that public reforms have on the efficiency of state-owned enterprises in regulated environments. Design/methodology/approach - The research is focused in the postal sector where public and private companies must obey a legal framework related to provide a universal service. The analysis is carried out using a panel of 7 European postal operators for the period 1997-2003. The activity analyzed was the letter mail division; we take as key variable the unit cost of a letter and use a translog cost function where as independent variables we include traffic levels, labor cost per employee, quality and availability of the service as well as the type of ownership (public or private). Additionally, in a second stage the geographical differences among countries are considered. Findings - Results indicate that postal operators that experienced organizational changes without being privatized, such as the Spanish and Greek operators, do not have higher unit costs than privatized postal operators like the one of Germany and the Netherlands. Moreover, we find that in all cases the operator of Ireland appear to be the most efficient. In this case restructuring process has been carried out giving an important leadership role to workers. This suggests us that labor culture could be a key variable to study when analyzing reform processes in public enterprises. Originality/value - Our findings show that in a regulated environment like in the postal sector, public and private companies can obtain similar efficiency levels in term of unit costs.

En aquest projecte s'ha implementat un sistema de data archiving amb SAP-IXOS per a una empresa després que aquesta demanés consell a la nostra consultora per reduir espai en la base de dades, ja que només els quedava lliure un 14% de l'ocupació total, i d'aquesta forma millorar el rendiment del sistema. S'ha realitzat un estudi de la base de dades, ocupació en Mb i creixement mensual de les dades en les taules. S'han parametritzat objectes d'arxivat, creat i definits repositoris de contingut, fitxers lògics i s'han programat reports addicionals per arxivar les dades correctament. El resultat ha estat reduir la base de dades en un 22% sent posible l'entrada de noves dades obtenint una resposta més àgil del sistema.

Aquest Treball Final de Carrera té per objecte l'anàlisi, disseny i implementació d'una aplicació degestió de menjadors escolars. Aquesta aplicació neix de la necessitat de donar resposta a unademanda dels responsables d'aquests menjadors que es veuen desbordats per controlar totes lesincidències que tenen a veure amb el menjador d'un centre educatiu: des del registre d'un client (alumne, professor o convidat) que entra al menjador a dinar fins al cobrament dels serveiscorresponents.

The place of technology in the development of coherent educational responses to environmental and socio-economic disruption is here placed under scrutiny. One emerging area of interest is the role of technology in addressing more complex learning futures, and more especially in facilitating individual and social resilience, or the ability to manage and overcome disruption. However, the extent to which higher education practitioners can utilise technology to this end is framed by their approaches to the curriculum, and the socio-cultural practices within which they are located. This paper discusses how open education might enable learners to engage with uncertainty through social action within a form of higher education that is more resilient to economic, environmental and energy-related disruption. It asks whether open higher education can be (re)claimed by users and communities within specific contexts and curricula, in order to engage with an uncertain world.

Aquest projecte és l’exemplificació del punt on la teoria i la pràctica s’uneixen. Mostra com la tasca socioeducativa que es duu a terme a un recurs on es dóna atenció residencial a joves (majors d’edat) amb una mesura judicial de règim obert, pot encaixar perfectament amb el que teoria de la resiliència argumenta. S’utilitza el model resilient de la casita el qual es fa servir de cinc possibles àrees d’intervenció. Es tracta d’un estudi on es justifiquen les raons de per què el Pis de Joves d’Emancipació pot ser definit com una Institució Resilient

This paper examines empirically the determinants of decentralization of decision- making in the firm for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that tend to be highly centralized. By decentralization of decisions we mean the delegation of decision rights from the owner or manager to the plant supervisor or even to floor workers. Our findings show that the allocation of authority to basic workers or a team of workers depends on firm characteristics such as firm size, the use of internal networks or the number of workplaces, and workers characteristics, in particular, the composition of the laborforce in terms of education and seniority and whether or not workers receive pay incentives. External factors such as the intensity of competition and the firm s export intensity are also important determinants of the allocation of authority.

This paper focuses on the use of FLOSS to promote vendor independence/avoid lock-in in the enterprise. It looks at how FLOSS projects follow open standards, how forking prevents lock-in if a project threatens to migrate to a closed-source strategy and how FLOSS lowers the barrier to entry for SMEs wishing to implement and support software. However it also looks at how the adoption of policies mandating open standards instead of FLOSS and how the success of cloud computing threatens to erode those benefits. It discusses ways in which cloud computing can be adopted in the enterprise without forfeiting those advantages and urge corporate and government policy makers to mandate FLOSS rather than be satisfied with open standards.

La present comunicació mostra el potencial que pot tenir l’establiment de certes relacionsque ofereixen suport i recolzament emocional als infants i joves tutelats, en la promociódel benestar emocional i del procés resilient. La recerca es contextualitza al sistema de proteccióa la infància, centrant-nos en adolescents que a causa de la seva situació de desproteccióhan hagut d’abandonar el seu nucli familiar i entrar al sistema de protecció a la infància.L’afrontament d’aquesta situació afegit a l’entorn advers del qual provenen, comporta que elsadolescents hagin de lidiar amb unes necessitats específiques de l’àrea emocional i relacional.Certs tipus de relacions interpersonals poden ajudar i mediar en aquest impacte emocional,promocionant un desenvolupament del procés resilient, així com millorant el seu benestarpersonal i social. Els resultats de la recerca que es presenta, permeten identificar elements característicsd’aquest tipus de relacions i els beneficis que els adolescents perceben, essent elsaspectes emocionals els que sustenten aquestes relacions...
