Modelo OIT para la innovación tecnológica de los procesos de empresa

El "groupware" es la parte de la tecnología ofimática que soporta el trabajo en grupo. Abarca un amplio conjunto de tecnologías hardware y software y de aplicaciones tales como sistemas de mensajería,sistemas grupales de apoyo a las decisiones, redes de conversaciones y de flujos de trabajo, bases de datos compartidas, y un largo etcétera, que le confieren un gran potencial de cambio organizativo y empresarial. Entre otras consecuencias, propicia nuevos tipos de organización, como las organizaciones reticulares ("networked organizations"), nuevas relaciones sociales y laborales, y contribuye a generar nuevas oportunidades y procesos de negocios. Clasificamos al groupware como una tecnología socio técnica, por lo que su implantación en la empresa y su integración en el diseño de procesos de negocios requiere los cuidados propios del diseño socio técnico. En este trabajo, se enfoca la innovación tecnológica con groupware derivándola de un modelo general de innovación empresarial en el campo de las tecnologías de la información, que considera simultáneamente a los procesos de negocio en solidaridad circular activa con una. dinámica convergente de tres áreas: O (Organización), ¡(Individuos, o factor humano de la empresa) y T (Tecnología). Desde una teoría ofimática respetuosa con el modelo OIT llegamos finalmente a un procedimiento cíclico de transferencia de la tecnología groupware.

Cambios de la identidad social en organizaciones en red

Las organizaciones están viviendo cambios estratégicos, culturales y organizativos para adaptarse a la sociedad de la información. La incorporación de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC), facilita los esquemas de trabajo en red de los y las profesionales y la virtualización de las organizaciones. En este nuevo contexto, el sistema de significados cambia, y la identidad social de los trabajadores se ve afectada. Este trabajo explora cómo se comporta la identidad social y cuál es su relación con la necesidad de afiliación, estudiando un grupo de 205 profesionales con distintas características, lo que ha permitido dividirlos en profesionales red y profesionales no red. A su vez, estos profesionales pertenecían a organizaciones que, en función de ciertas características, se han categorizado en más o menos virtuales. Los resultados principales del trabajo son el establecimiento de un método de análisis en organizaciones red y la confirmación de que en la transformación de una organización hacia modelos virtuales, la identidad social se debilita para profesionales con alta necesidad de afiliación. Organizations are experiencing strategic, cultural and organizational changes in order to adapt themselves to the Information Society. Incorporating Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) allow for network schemes of work for employees (including telecommuting) and staff virtualization. In this new context, systems of meaning change and the social identity of the staff is affected. This paper analyses how social identity evolves and how it is related to affiliation needs by studying a group of 205 professionals with different characteristics, divided into network and non-network professionals. In turn, these professionals belonged to organizations, which depending on certain characteristics, have been categorized as more or less virtual. Two main research results emerge. The first is an analytical methodology for networked organizations. The second is the confirmation that social identity weakens for professionals with high affiliation needs when virtualization occurs in an organization.

The visibility/invisibility paradox of trust: Developing distributed educational leadership for online communities

A visibility/invisibility paradox of trust operates in the development of distributed educational leadership for online communities. If trust is to be established, the team-based informal ethos of online collaborative networked communities requires a different kind of leadership from that observed in more formal face-to-face positional hierarchies. Such leadership is more flexible and sophisticated, being capable of encompassing both ambiguity and agile response to change. Online educational leaders need to be partially invisible, delegating discretionary powers, to facilitate the effective distribution of leadership tasks in a highly trusting team-based culture. Yet, simultaneously, online communities are facilitated by the visibility and subtle control effected by expert leaders. This paradox: that leaders need to be both highly visible and invisible when appropriate, was derived during research on 'Trust and Leadership' and tested in the analysis of online community case study discussions using a pattern-matching process to measure conversational interactions. This paper argues that both leader visibility and invisibility are important for effective trusting collaboration in online distributed leadership. Advanced leadership responses to complex situations in online communities foster positive group interaction, mutual trust and effective decision-making, facilitated through the active distribution of tasks.

Collaborative Evolution Strategies on Evolvable Hardware Networked Elements

Dynamic and Partial Reconfiguration allows systems to change some parts of their hardware at run time. This feature favours the inclusion of evolutionary strategies to provide optimised solutions to the same problem so that they can be mixed and compared in a way that only the best ones prevail. At the same time, distributed intelligence permits systems to work in a collaborative way to jointly improve their global capabilities. This work presents a combination of both approaches where hardware evolution is performed both at local and network level in order to improve an image filter application in terms of performance, robustness and providing the capacity of avoiding local minimums, which is the main drawback of some evolutionary approaches.

Effectiveness of online corporate collaborative teams

With this article we intend to contribute to the understanding of what can make Online Collaborative Teams (OCT) effective. This is done by identifying what can be considered best practices for individual team members, for leaders of OCT, and for the organizations that the teams are a part of. Best practices in these categories were identified from the existing literature related to online teams and collaborative work literature.
