1.- Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs):
• ICT and Society >>> Regional Development and the E-Citizen
This thematic area comprises topics related to the impact of ICTs on Regional Development and how they can improve everyday life for citizens in the region of Extremadura. Aspects such as technological literacy, the introduction of ICTs in rural areas, etc. are taken into consideration
• ICT and Companies >>> E-Business
ICTs have had an important impact on companies and how they do business. These topics focus on the opportunities offered by ICT for business improvement. All aspects of E-Business have their place here, e.g. E-Commerce, Electronic Communication, etc.
• ICT and the Administration >>> E-Government
The image of public services is undergoing great changes due to the introduction of ICTs, which are improving not only the services offered by the Public Administration to citizens, companies and other organisations, but also the internal working of the Administration itself (at a local, regional and national level).
2.- Knowledge Management (KM):
• KM and Society >>> the E-Citizen and regional Development
• KM and Companies >>> KM at the service of business improvement
Knowledge management offers a wide range of opportunities for improvement, not only in the internal management of the organisation itself but also interaction with suppliers, clients and other organisations.
• KM and the Administration >>> KM in the public sector
Knowledge management enables the services offered by the Public Administration to be improved by enhanced organisation and usage of the information and knowledge available. Knowledge management is not only useful for improving interaction with citizens, companies and other organisations, but also for improving internal functioning.
3.- New Organisation and Business Models:
• E- work
E-work is a way of organising and/or doing work whereby a considerable amount of the time devoted to this work by the employee is spent somewhere outside the company offices or the place where the result of the work must be delivered. In addition, it is carried out using information and communication technology tools.
• Organisational learning
Learning is a concept which can be applied to people, teams and organisations. Organisational learning requires tools or mechanisms which enable the knowledge of individual people or teams in the company to become collective knowledge. Organisations can only learn by means of the learning of each individual.
• E- Learning
This is a type of distance training, non-presence or semi-presence learning using a specific methodology based on new information and communication technologies.
• Talent Management / Intellectual Capital
Talent Management is a collection of activities designed to make available at all times the level of skills and commitment required to obtain the necessary results for competitiveness in the current and future environment, creating value for the shareholder, the client, the professional and society in general.
When speaking of Intellectual Capital, we refer to intangible capital which resides both inside and outside an organisation. We refer to human capital, relational capital and structural capital.
• Creation of networks / Virtual Communities:
- Virtual Community
A Community enabling the grouping together of people according to their affinities and common interests, overcoming all sorts of territorial, institutional and time barriers.
- Community of Practice
A group of professionals informally linked by common problems and a common search for solutions, as a result of which they are incorporated into a knowledge group.
- Knowledge Network
A knowledge network is a mechanism for social exchange linking different organisations or individuals (or groups of individuals) with similar interests.
4.- Free Software (FLOSS - Free Open Source Software) transversal to all the themes
"Free Software" refers to the freedom of users to use, copy, distribute, study, modify and improve the software. More specifically, it refers to the four freedoms of software users:
• The freedom to use the program, for any purpose
• The freedom to study how the program works and adapt it to the needs of the organisation.
• The freedom to distribute copies of it
• The freedom to improve the program and offer the improvements to the public, so the whole community can benefit from them. |
