The knowledge-based society we live in has stressed the importance of human capital and brought talent to the top of most wanted skills, especially to companies who want to succeed in turbulent environments worldwide. In fact, streams, sequences of decisions and resource commitments characterize the day-to-day of multinational companies (MNCs). Such decision-making activities encompass major strategic moves like internationalization and new market entries or diversification and acquisitions. In most companies, these strategic decisions are extensively discussed and debated and are generally framed, formulated, and articulated in specialized language often developed by the best minds in the company. Yet the language used in such deliberations, in detailing and enacting the implementation strategy is usually taken for granted and receives little if any explicit attention (Brannen & Doz, 2012) an can still be a “forgotten factor” (Marschan et al. 1997). Literature on language management and international business refers to lack of awareness of business managers of the impact that language can have not only in communication effectiveness but especially in knowledge transfer and knowledge management in business environments. In the context of MNCs, management is, for many different reasons, more complex and demanding than that of a national company, mainly because of diversity factors inherent to internationalization, namely geographical and cultural spaces, i.e, varied mindsets. Moreover, the way of functioning, and managing language, of the MNC depends on its vision, its values and its internationalization model, i.e on in the way the MNE adapts to and controls the new markets, which can vary essentially from a more ethnocentric to a more pluricentric focus. Regardless of the internationalization model followed by the MNC, communication between different business units is essential to achieve unity in diversity and business sustainability. For the business flow and prosperity, inter-subsidiary, intra-company and company-client (customers, suppliers, governments, municipalities, etc..) communication must work in various directions and levels of the organization. If not well managed, this diversity can be a barrier to global coordination and create turbulent environments, even if a good technological support is available (Feely et al., 2002: 4). According to Marchan-Piekkari (1999) the tongue can be both (i) a barrier, (ii) a facilitator and (iii) a source of power. Moreover, the lack of preparation for the barriers of linguistic diversity can lead to various costs, including negotiations’ failure and failure on internationalization.. On the other hand, communication and language fluency is not just a message transfer procedure, but above all a knowledge transfer process, which requires extra-linguistic skills (persuasion, assertiveness …) in order to promote credibility of both parties. For this reason, MNCs need a common code to communicate and trade information inside and outside the company, which will require one or more strategies, in order to overcome possible barriers and organization distortions.

As Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação colocam em debate o modo de pensar e olhar o livro tradicional e originam novas materialidades para o texto e novas formas, espaços e géneros de leitura. A revolução originada por Gutenberg democratizou o acesso ao livro tradicional, alterando os processos de acesso ao conhecimento. As tecnologias eletrónicas trouxeram consigo uma nova revolução, virtualizando o acesso aos textos que alteraram a paisagem da cultura clássica do livro. Recorrendo à ideia original do investigador Nicholas Negroponte, pretende-se realizar uma análise das alterações que o livro sofreu, enquanto objeto de suporte ao texto, na sua passagem para contextos digitais ou na passagem de “átomos” para “bits”.

A literatura é um elemento de cultura que, ao longo dos tempos, se relacionou com a textualidade e os seus aparatos tecnológicos de forma lenta, mas profunda. Cada dispositivo que lhe deu abrigo (vozes, papiros, volumosas encadernações, livros de bolso, livros electrónicos ou tablets) alterou não só a forma de leitura mas, principalmente, a nossa própria relação com o conhecimento e com o mundo. No momento em que os hábitos de leitura se modificam de forma drástica, a utilização das novas tecnologias audiovisuais e multimédia no texto traduz inovações estéticas que tornam a leitura uma experiência complexa, não linear e cada vez mais sensível. Destacam-se dessa experiência sensível uma nova forma de comunicar com os meios tecnológicos e a necessidade de uma recontextualização do leitor nos novos percursos da literacia/transliteracia. Desde que o texto electrónico se tornou um espaço híbrido, onde se fabricam sentidos na exigência e volubilidade do mundo físico e virtual, o encontro com a literatura electrónica materializa na tessitura da escrita uma experiência interpretativa profundamente individualizada a cada instante de leitura online.

In this paper we discuss how the inclusion of semantic functionalities in a Learning Objects Repository allows a better characterization of the learning materials enclosed and improves their retrieval through the adoption of some query expansion strategies. Thus, we started to regard the use of ontologies to automatically suggest additional concepts when users are filling some metadata fields and add new terms to the ones initially provided when users specify the keywords with interest in a query. Dealing with different domain areas and having considered impractical the development of many different ontologies, we adopted some strategies for reusing ontologies in order to have the knowledge necessary in our institutional repository. In this paper we make a review of the area of knowledge reuse and discuss our approach.

This paper discusses the key role played by public research institutes for promoting socioeconomic inclusion of local communities based on traditional knowledge and traditional medicine. Nongovernmental organizations and cooperatives have had an important role in raising financial resources, being involved with advocacy of local communities and advancing legislation changes. But strict best manufacturing practices regulations imposed by the Brazilian National Health Surveillance Agency on the requirements for approval and commercialization of drugs based on herbal medicine products call for the involvement of strong public research institutes capable of supporting community-based pharmacies. Thus, public research institutes are pivotal as they can conduct scientific research studies to evidence the efficacy of herbal medicine products and help building the capacity of local communities to comply with current regulations.
