Pigalev, Alexander. "The Patterns of Conceptual Representation and the Symbolic Exchange: Marx’s Construal of Systemic Effects in New Contexts [In Eng. + Rus.]." Logos et Praxis, no. 4 (April 2020): 5–20. http://dx.doi.org/10.15688/lp.jvolsu.2020.4.1.
Full textAbstract:
The paper is devoted to historical and philosophical analysis of the patterns of conceptual representation in the theoretical models of scientific cognition which not only rely on Marx's construal of systemic effects, but also imply some new contexts. The umbrella term "systemic effects" implies a peculiar mode of action of whatever complex system that cannot be explained by referring to the theoretical model of the linear cause-effect relationships between the elements and should be interpreted as the consequence of a certain degree of complexity of the system itself. Marx did not develop the original idea of representation as an explicit and complete theory, but he introduced the methodology of the analysis of the systemic effects that can be applied to the analysis of representation to wide extent. It is pointed out that the scientific cognition issued the challenge of reliable representations for the object domain and they tended to take the shape of conceptual models. The representation, being generally the substitution of one entity for another, is considered as an aspect of pervasive social symbolization that occurs against a background of systemic effects in exactly the same way as the economic processes. It is concluded that just modified Marx's stance became essential for the consideration of the forms of abstractive thinking, the formation of concepts, and the representational models both in general and in respect to specific problems of epistemology and philosophy of science.

Full textAbstract:
As science and engineering projects are becoming increasingly more complex, sophisticated, comprehensive and multidisciplinary, there is a growing need for systems thinking skills to ensure successful project management. Systems thinking plays a major role in the initiation, effective management, and in facilitating inter-organizational tasks. This research assesses the capacity for engineering systems thinking and its contribution in carrying out a multidisciplinary project. The research also reviews the cognitive process through which systems thinking skill is acquired. The study focused on a group of students who have completed their senior design projects in high-tech industry, while their plans were being integrated into existing larger projects in the respective industrial sites. The systems thinking skill of the students was examined according to a questionnaire for assessing the Capacity for Engineering Systems Thinking (CEST). Statistical analysis shows significant differences in the students capacity for systems thinking at the beginning and end of the work (p<0.001). This research demonstrates that systems thinking skills can be improved through awareness and involvement in multidisciplinary projects.

Background There are lot of books that teachers use in teaching process, but books are still unable to represent difficult view and to enclose 3D features of object. To reduce this lack of information proceeding there can be used computer visualisation in the classrooms. Computer technologies can be essential tools for scientific teachers because of the extensive possibilities to show 3D representations. The teachers do not feel competent in knowledge of modern technology that is why they rarely use them in teaching process-es. Clear computer based visualization helps students to understand difficult concepts and this leads to comprehension in science education. The more concepts and laws of nature they will now the more quali-tative scientific education will be. The article is grounded on visual thinking and genetic structural model of intellect theories. According to these theories all things, if it is possible, should be visualised, because later it helps to create right mental models and perfect comprehension of objects. This research pretends to enclose computer based visualization tools and the mostly visualised objects in chemistry for the reason teachers could use them in chemistry lessons. The subject of research – the practice of possibilities of computer based visualization tools and objects in chemistry Aim – to enclose practice of possibilities of computer based visualization tools and objects in chemistry The research tasks: • To categorize tools of computer based visualization; • To analyze the practice of possibilities of categorized computer based visualization tools teach-ing chemistry; • To analyze - which objects are the mostly visualized teaching chemistry Methods. Scientific literature analysis, systemic structural analysis, reflection Results and conclusion: • All computer based visualization tools are important because of clear visualization and possibil-ity to see very small objects. • Computer programs are designed for concrete theme; it may be proportion to plans of chem-istry education. They are interactive; there are possibilities to subscribe them by internet. It must be installed to the personal computer. Internet programs are significant because of possibility to use them free having internet and installing needful software. Mostly all programs are verbal-ized in English language; this circumstances the good chemistry teachers’ knowledge of Eng-lish language. Pupils can use them independently for self – education, to deepen general knowledge of chemistry. • Molecules and their structures are the most visualized objects in chemistry education; it means that molecules are one of the most difficultly perceivable concepts. It is recommended to use visualization tools teaching about molecules. Key words: computer based visualization, visualization tools, visualization objects, teaching chemistry

Full textAbstract:
The increasingly complex world of commerce has forced business schools to focus on preparing students for a new environment that requires systemic thinking, the ability to work in teams and the skill and motivation needed to respond to rapid change. Unfortunately, little has changed in how we educate future business leaders. In this paper we report the preliminary results of an attempt to increase under graduate students’ levels of cross-functional and systemic thinking using the DuPont model to integrate across the traditional functional areas of information systems and operations management). The model provides a valuable framework for educators, and can be used to display how typical functional-area tasks (e.g., determining capital structure) are related to firm-level outcomes (e.g., return on equity), and how decision making in one functional area (e.g., managing inventory) has a similar impact on firm-level outcomes as decisions made in other functional areas (e.g., managing cash).

Full textAbstract:
In an increasingly complex business environment, companies need to reassess their strategic choices on a regular basis. However, companies are struggling to collect and efficiently interpret the relevant information on their business environment. Whereas market information is often analyzed, influences from the broader environment (e.g., society) are often neglected. This paper argues that companies often lack a systemic approach to their strategy development process, and that environmental influences are only considered selectively. We suggest that companies themselves need to be seen as systems that are embedded in a complex environment. To develop a successful strategic orientation, a systematic screening of the environment must be coupled with a thorough analysis of the firm’s internal circumstances (e.g., competencies). Therefore, the paper proposes a holistic framework for conceiving companies as systems. Furthermore, we discuss how the scenario technique could support a systematic analysis of the company’s environment. The paper also aims to provide practical guidelines for managers and contributes to integrating a systems thinking approach into strategy development.

Full textAbstract:
Traditional project management theories and best practices focus primarily on managing the triangular constraints of time, budget and scope (framed in terms of concrete outputs). It has proven valuable and successful in helping organisations to recognise, plan and execute changes to ongoing operations in a disciplined and repeatable manner. However, as the global economy and society continue to become more knowledge based and integrated, this simple industrial model has become increasingly inadequate and, if narrowly focused and pursued, harmful. As for all branches of human knowledge, the problem did not result from knowledge itself but from a misalignment between the complexity of the phenomena and their conceptual representation or knowledge. There have been numerous attempts to extend the industrial model to include additional dimensions of project complexity (Cicmil, et al. 2009). The vast majority of such efforts still suffer from the same root cause of the original model: the mechanical conception of project management as dealing with objective facts (e.g. schedule and budget) on one hand and subjective constituencies (e.g. sponsors and users) on the other. There is a lot of literature on both aspects, but very little integrating the two into a coherent whole. In the author's experience, this lack of integration between the objective and subjective aspects of project management has become the single most critical risk of project success and the greatest advancement opportunity in the profession. The author has spent more than a decade in managing and learning from large-scale projects in organisationally and culturally complex business environments. To cope with the vast complexities of real-life projects, he has had to 'borrow' knowledge and practices from many other fields to supplement traditional project management methods. Two such 'external' disciplines - systems thinking and leadership development - have proven particularly valuable. This case study describes a practitioner's perspective and technique for understanding and extending traditional project management to greater complexities that are typically encountered in an organisational setting. In this conception of and approach to project management, the practitioner (Self), the social environment (Organisation) and the professional responsibilities (Work) are treated as one integrated system. The dynamics of these relationships are shown to be the primary drivers of the health and success of the individual components, in contrast to the mechanical theories and practices of traditional project management. This new approach and associated set of methods is called 'systemic project management'. The case study is organised in the approximate chronological order in which the author developed, tested and expanded this new approach to project management, continuously learning and refining the methods through iterative integration of theory and practice. Part I summarises the core principles of systems thinking and leadership development as applied to project management; Part II lays out a step-by-step practice guide to aid project management professionals in defining, planning and executing a real-life project systemically; and Part III provides an example of how this method can be scaled up in a typical business organisation setting. Due to the length of this case study, only Part III is included in the current issue. Part I and II have already been published in the previous issue of this journal.

Full textAbstract:
There is a growing interest in the use of visual thinking techniques for promoting conceptual thinking in problem solving tasks as well as for reducing the complexity of ideas expressed in scientific and technical formats. The products of visual thinking, such as sketchnotes, graphics and diagrams, consist of ‘multimodal complexes’ that combine language, images, mathematical symbolism and various other semiotic resources. This article adopts a social semiotic perspective, more specifically a Systemic Functional Multimodal Discourse Analysis approach, to study the underlying semiotic mechanisms through which visual thinking makes complex scientific content accessible. To illustrate the approach, the authors analyse the roles of language, images, and mathematical graphs and symbolism in four sketchnotes based on scientific literature in physics. The analysis reveals that through the process of resemiotization, where meanings are transformed from one semiotic system to another, the abstractness of specialized discourses such as physics and mathematics is reduced by multimodal strategies which include reformulating the content in terms of entities which participate in observable (i.e. tangible) processes and enhancing the reader/viewer’s engagement with the text. Moreover, the compositional arrangement creates clear stages in the development of the ideas and arguments that are presented. In this regard, visual thinking is a form of cultural communication through which abstract ideas are translated and explained using a multimodal outline or summary of essential parts by adapting resources (e.g. linguistic resources and mathematical graphs), using new resources (e.g. stick figures and other simple schematic drawings) and maintaining others from the original text (e.g. mathematical symbolic notation), resulting in a congruent (or concrete) depiction of abstract concepts and ideas for a non-specialist audience.

Full textAbstract:
Theoretical background in our work is systemic approach (connection between processes of change in macro systemic/state and micro systemic/individual sphere of functioning), in particular the model developed by Stewart & Healy (1989), emphasizing the importance of linking the stage of individual development and social history. Based on these theoretical frames we conducted two isomorphous studies, implemented on two occasions (in 1998 and 2009) which marked two different transition stages in Serbia. Studies focused on the ways the parents (who already had at least one child under age 7) thought about family enlargement. The parents (N = 80 in the first study, N = 24 in the second one) belonged to the same generation (exposed to same socio-historical events), but became parents at different stages of the transition. Both studies used the same questionnaire (created for the first study) which included information such as: subjects' general data; family background (number of siblings, relationships between the siblings); personal/intimate aspects of actual parenthood; plans, wishes and obstacles to having more children. The results indicated that that the group of subjects who became parents at the end of the social crisis - postponed parenthood (avoiding the worst crisis) - had more children than the other one (1.71 compared to 1.65), and was more consistent in repeating the model of their own family of origin, and had a smaller gap between fertility wishes and planning of future parenting. .

Full textAbstract:
Reviewing multiple traditions of social analysis of work, skill and knowledge this article seeks to renew the possibility for a critical, integrated approach. Contextualizing and then criticizing the ongoing ‘up-skilling/de-skilling impasse’, I offer discussion of several alternative conceptual resources that may contribute to a more robust appreciation for learning and human development, potentially unified under a suggested ‘Use-Value Thesis’ on the labour/learning process. It is argued that recognizing ‘use-value’ sets the stage for a broader systemic understanding of the contradictory processes (e.g. up-skilling/de-skilling, engagement/alienation, co-operation/conflict) that occur simultaneously in all workplaces under capitalism, and in turn offers a means to more coherently assess the full range of human learning.

Full textAbstract:
In order to systematically explore the normative treatment of black slavery by Second Scholastic thinkers, who usually place the problem within the broad discussion of moral conscience and, more narrowly, the nature and justice of trade and contracts, I propose two stations of research that may be helpful for future studies, especially concerning the study of Scholastic ideas in colonial Latin America. Beginning with the analysis of just titles for slavery and slavery trade proposed by Luis de Molina S.J. (1535–1600), I show how his accounts were critically reviewed by Diego de Avendaño S.J. (1594–1688), revealing basic features of Second Scholasticism’s normative thinking in Europe and the Americas. The normative knowledge provided by these two Scholastic intellectuals would be profoundly tested during the last decades of the 17th century, especially by authors who sharpened the systemic analysis and a rigorist moral assessment of every title of slavery and slaveholding, as well as the requirements of an ethics of restitution.

Resumo: Esta pesquisa fundamenta-se em uma reflexão sobre as atuais embalagens de produtos da fruticultura, as normas que condicionam os formatos e seus materiais, num contexto do design moderno. Tem-se por objetivo uma reflexão sobre as atuais embalagens desse gênero, as quais são bubmetidas a uma série de normas pelos entrepostos fiscais, que nem sempre são cumpridas no contexto de uma cultura defrontada com a sustentabilidade. Abrange questões de representação do espaço, matéria e forma, além do condicionador do formato da embalagem, enquanto padrão de "utilização" de carga e não o produto em si. Para analisar os fatores relacionados à embalagem, estudou-se o pensamento sistêmico, holístico ou ecológico e os dados foram dispostos em forma de map minds sistêmicos. A pesquisa visa evidenciar quais as questões que são de responsabilidade do designer neste processo, contribuindo com reflexões que auxiliem no diagnóstico do problema em sua complexidade e na rede interconectada de fatores, de modo a facilitar um melhor planejamento de embalagens para produtos numa futura sociedade sustentável.

It is intended to reflect on the current packagigng of this kind, which are subjected to a series of standards for tax warehouses, are not always followed n the context of a culture faced with sustainability. Covers issues of representations of space representations, material and form, in addition to the conditioner of the format of the pack as standard load and not the product itself. To analyze the factors related to packaging, we studied the systemic thinking holistic or ecological and data were arranged in the form of systemic map minds. The research aims to highlight what issues are responsability of designer in this process, contribuing with information to help in diagnosing the problem in its complexity and interconnected web of factors in order to facilitate better planning of packaging for fruit culture in a future sustainable society.

Full textAbstract:
Many companies have been trying to shift their business core from offering products to offer product-service systems (PSS), what requires not only a shift in the business model, but also in the culture and mindset. Using user-centered methods to support the PSS development process is a way to support this shift and to enhance perceived value of PSS offerings. One possible approach to support PSS development on becoming more user-centered is design thinking (DT). It is a user-centric approach used by many leader enterprises to support innovation and described by several methodologies with practical focus. However, it is not clear in literature how to integrate DT and development process models already used by companies, leading to cases where practitioners may replace complete phases, or even the whole development process, by DT. This replacement does not seem appropriate, since DT may lack aspects that are considered by PSS development processes. The main objective of this work is to identify how the DT approach can be applied in PSS development processes. The methodology of this research combines the following methods: case research, corpus linguistics, frame semantics and matrix-based methods. One of the results of this work is the characterization of DT based on the linguistic analysis, which was derived from content extracted from more than 1500 pages of 8 DT methodologies. This analysis resulted in 46 recurrent activities, associated with 458 specific guidelines, and the identification of 182 relevant activities that synthetize the DT methodologies. Those activities were compared to 14 PSS development process models from literature, concluding, among other findings, that DT cannot replace the PSS design process models, and that the compatibility for integration of DT into PSS development process models is greater on the front-end of innovation (FEI). FEI activities from 14 PSS and 7 product development process models were compared with DT recurrent and relevant activities to provide understanding on how DT can be integrated into PSS development process models. Finally, the findings of this last comparison led to the creation of a 4-step method for integrating DT into PSS development process models based on activities similarity.Diversas empresas têm tentado migrar da oferta de produtos para a oferta de sistemas produto-serviço (PSS), o que requer uma mudança não só do modelo de negócios, como também da cultura e da mentalidade. Utilizar métodos centrados no usuário é uma forma de auxiliar nessa mudança cultural e no aumento de valor percebido do PSS ofertado. Uma abordagem capaz de apoiar o processo de desenvolvimento (PD) de PSS em se tornar mais centrado no usuário é o design thinking (DT). Trata-se de uma abordagem centrada no usuário utilizada por diversas empresas de sucesso para apoiar a inovação e descrita por várias metodologias de foco prático. No entanto, não está claro na literatura como DT pode ser integrado a modelos de PD já utilizados pelas empresas, levando a casos onde fases, ou mesmo todo o PD, são substituídos por completo pelo DT. Essa substituição não parece apropriada, dado que DT pode não conter aspectos considerados pelos PDs de PSS. O principal objetivo deste trabalho é identificar como a abordagem do DT pode ser aplicada nos PDs de PSS. A metodologia desta pesquisa combina os seguintes métodos: estudo de caso, linguística de corpus, semântica de frames, e métodos baseados em matrizes. Um dos resultados deste trabalho é a caracterização do DT baseada em análise linguística, a qual foi derivada do conteúdo de mais de 1500 páginas de 8 metodologias de DT. Essa análise resultou em 46 atividades recorrentes, associadas com 458 diretrizes específicas, e a identificação de 182 atividades relevantes que sintetizam as metodologias de DT. Essas atividades foram comparadas a 14 modelos de PD de PSS da literatura, concluindo, entre outros achados, que o DT não é capaz de substituir o PD de PSS, e que a compatibilidade para integração do DT ao PD de PSS é maior no front-end da inovação (FEI). Atividades do FEI de 14 modelos de PD de PSS e 7 de produto foram comparadas com as atividades relevantes e recorrentes do DT para prover o entendimento em como o DT pode ser integrado aos modelos de PD de PSS. Finalmente, as conclusões dessa última comparação levaram à criação de um método de quatro passos para integração do DT aos modelos de PD de PSS, baseado na similaridade das atividades.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this research is to critically inquire into the appropriateness of the current human computer interaction (HCI) practices in Information and Communication Technologies and Development (ICTD) system design given the contextual constraints and challenges found in developing country contexts. Despite user participation in system design being a buzzword of HCI the form of this participation varies with the different disciplinary perspectives and paradigms and their different methods for engaging users and identifying users' needs. Moreover, a majority of these dominant HCI perspectives are not only rooted in the developed countries context they also mainly focus on organisational management information systems (MIS) and less on information systems (IS) that place emphasis on the socio-economic context of developing countries. Literature review reveal that limited studies focus on the differences brought about by the western influenced methodologies and principles when applied in different contexts and how they affect the user participation process as well as the outcome. Building on past research, this research argues that HCI for ICTD needs to develop new contextualised participatory methods and strategies that consider the broader and complex contexts of the ICTD users. However, shifting the focus to localised forms of HCI in ICTD system design requires a better appreciation of the challenges and constraints encountered when applying the traditional HCI methods and strategies. Based on this argument the research conceptually explores and reflects on the underlying contextual factors and mechanisms present in participatory ICTD system design and the presumed relationships among them. Drawing on this conceptual framework, the research conducts semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions and participant observations with three mobile money system design projects in Kenya that engaged the users during the design process to highlight how current HCI practices respond to the multifaceted nature of ICTD system design which present challenges that include social, technical, cultural and infrastructural issues. Findings from this qualitative study provide significant new insights that support the call for contextualised participatory methods and strategies. The findings suggest that there is tension between the underlying assumptions inherent in western HCI methods and strategies and the local context thus justifying the call for the appropriation of the design process. Drawing on the conceptual framework it was found that bias formed from factors such as power relations, diversity in interests for participation and cross-cultural differences moderate the design process and ultimately the participatory outcome. From the knowledge perspective, this research provides an in-depth understanding of the developing country contextual factors that mediate user participation process in ICTD system design. Furthermore, the research extends the knowledge with regards to participatory interventions in the development of IS in Africa. The research also presents a theoretical framework that makes explicit the contextual assumptions and constraints embedded in participatory ICTD system design interventions and how they shape the design process and the participatory outcome. Finally, the recommendations formulated from this research provide HCI designers and practitioners actionable knowledge in regards to reflecting on their current traditional HCI tools and techniques to ensure better localised design processes.

Many studies dedicated to the teaching andlearning of organic chemistry courses haveemphasized that high school students haveshown significant difficulties in mastering theconcepts of this discipline. Therefore, the aimof our study was to help students to overcomethese difficulties by applying systemicquestions (SQs) as the instructional method.Тhis study included third grade students fromone high school („Jovan Jovanović Zmaj”) inNovi Sad, Serbia. The experiment wasconducted during the 2012/13. school year.For the purpose of this research, knowledgetests with conventional, linear questions (LQs)and systemic questions (SQs) wereconstructed. In addition to knowledge tests, theseven-point Likert scale for measuring ofmental effort was applied.This work shows that students from the groupexposed to the new teaching method(application of SQs) achieved higher scores onfinal testing than students from the controlgroup, who were taught by the traditionalmethod, when students’ achievements in LQsand in SQs, were studied. These results werefollowed by observation of lower levels ofmental effort by students from theexperimental group, and higher levels ofmental effort in the control group, investedduring solving both types of questions.This correlation between achievement andmental effort resulted in high instructionalefficiency for the applied method in theexperimental group, and low instructionalefficiency for the traditional teaching andlearning method applied in the control group.In addition it was found that the application ofSQs was more suited to female students thanfor male students in experimental group, whiletraditional method was less effective for bothgenders in control group.Furthermore, after conducting an exploratoryfactor analysis on the obtained data, SQs werecharacterized as valid and reliable tools forassessing students’ meaningful understanding.Apart from this, essay questions andcompletion type of questions with three ormore requests were found to be useful inassessing students’ meaningful understanding.At the end of this study, SQs werecharacterized as effective tools for assessingdifferent levels of students’ systems thinking.These results emphasized the fact that femalestudents from experimental group reached thehighest expacted level of systems thinking –level of complex connection of concepts fromorganic chemistry domain.

System dynamics modelling has been used for around 40 years to address complex, systemic, dynamic problems, those often described as wicked. But, system dynamics modelling is not an exact science and arguments about the most suitable techniques to use in which circumstances, continues. The nature of these wicked problems is investigated through a series of case studies where poor situational awareness among stakeholders was identified. This was found to be an underlying cause for management failure, suggesting need for better ways of recognising and managing wicked problem situations. Human cognition is considered both as a limitation and enabler to decision-making in wicked problem environments. Naturalistic and deliberate decision-making are reviewed. The thesis identifies the need for integration of qualitative and quantitative techniques. Case study results and a review of the literature led to identification of a set of principles of method to be applied in an integrated framework, the aim being to develop an improved way of addressing wicked problems. These principles were applied to a series of cases in an action research setting. However, organisational and political barriers were encountered. This limited the exploitation and investigation of cases to varying degrees. In response to a need identified in the literature review and the case studies, a tool is designed to facilitate analysis of multi-factorial, non-linear causality. This unique tool and its use to assist in problem conceptualisation, and as an aid to testing alternate strategies, are demonstrated. Further investigation is needed in relation to the veracity of combining causal influences using this tool and system dynamics, broadly. System dynamics modelling was found to have utility needed to support analysis of wicked problems. However, failure in a particular modelling project occurred when it was found necessary to rely on human judgement in estimating values to be input into the models. This was found to be problematic and unacceptably risky for sponsors of the modelling effort. Finally, this work has also identified that further study is required into: the use of human judgement in decision-making and the validity of system dynamics models that rely on the quantification of human judgement.

Full textAbstract:
Even during the artist's lifetime, contemporary art lovers considered Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669) to be an exceptional artist. In this revelatory sequel to the acclaimed Rembrandt: The Painter at Work, renowned Rembrandt authority Ernst van de Wetering investigates the painter's considerations that determined the striking changes in his development from an early age onwards. This gorgeously illustrated book explores how Rembrandt achieved mastery by systematic exploration of the 'foundations of the art of painting'. According to written sources from the seventeenth century, which were largely misinterpreted until now, these 'foundations' were considered essential at that time. From his first endeavours in painting, Rembrandt embarked on a journey past these foundations, thus becoming the 'pittore famoso', whom Count Cosimo the Medici visited at the end of his life. Rembrandt never stopped searching for solutions to the pictorial problems that confronted him; this led over time to radical changes that cannot simply be attributed to stylistic evolution or natural development. In a quest as rigorous and novel as the artist's, Van de Wetering reveals how Rembrandt became the revolutionary painter that would continue to fascinate the art world. This ground breaking exploration reconstructs Rembrandt's theories and methods, shedding new light both on the artist's exceptional accomplishments and on the theory and practice of painting in the Dutch Golden Age.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines the position of European socialists towards empire and especially towards colonialism. Although European socialists ostensibly supported the notion of trusteeship, embodied in the League of Nations mandate system, their thinking on reformist colonialism was more uncertain and contested than is often contended. Indeed, socialist thinking included a strand of anti-colonialism that manifested itself in calls for the International to adopt a policy of more active support for anti-colonial movements in the colonies as well as a more systemic opposition to the global political and economic order in which colonialism was embedded. Partly in reaction to communist anti-colonialism, however, this socialist anti-colonialism was marginalized by the end of the 1920s as mainstream socialism endorsed trusteeship not because it provided a well-defined political programme but as a means to close off more far-reaching proposals. During the later 1930s socialist anti-colonialism would reappear in the form of colonial appeasement.

This chapter examines the relationship between hopeful thinking and major depressive disorder. Hope is a positive psychology construct that comprises goals, agency thinking, and pathways thinking and has been associated with psychological and physical well-being and psychosocial outcomes. Depression is inversely correlated with hope and is characterized by a host of symptoms and psychological correlates, including feelings of sadness, negative self-talk, amotivation, and difficulties in problem-solving and concentrating. This chapter explores the empirical evidence regarding the relationship between hope and depression, including the relationship between the subcomponents of hope (i.e., pathways and agency thinking) and the biological (e.g., neural reward systems) and cognitive (e.g., executive functioning) correlates of depression. In addition, the evidence for hope as a viable route for remediating depressive symptoms is reviewed, and future directions are proposed.

Full textAbstract:
Sepsis—a dysregulated systemic inflammatory response to infection—occurs at some point in most critical illnesses, and is the most common cause of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). Patients with MODS always present great challenges to the critical care team and are often at high risk of death. This chapter discusses the latest thinking about the infective causes and complex evolution of sepsis, with details of how each of the main body systems can be affected (e.g. in the form of acute respiratory distress syndrome) and how different organ functions can be assessed and dysfunction recognized. The priorities, principles, and practicalities of holistic care and management of patients with sepsis and MODS, including adjunct therapies and blood purification, is also described.

In this book, I undertake the first comprehensive theoretical and empirical analysis of the politics of the “wild west” of egg donation in the United States. If egg donation is so publicly recognizable and evokes such social interest, why does the U.S. system fail to regulate it? This book challenges conventional thinking around egg donation politics, exploring answers to how egg donation is defined, debated, and regulated in the United States, as well as exploring the logic of why the U.S. system of politics is organized the way it is around egg donation. Building upon theories of normative femininity in reproduction and scientific research, this book examines the relationships between subnational politics and policy in contemporary egg donation. I use three interdisciplinary areas of inquiry—policy framing, body politics and morality politics, and representation by gender and political party to answer long-standing questions about egg donation and politics in the fields of women’s and gender studies, political science and policy studies, and bioethics. Employing case studies, qualitative narrative analysis, and quantitative public-policy analyses of an original data set of over eight hundred state-level public policies around egg donation, this book clarifies the ways that gender, race, and class, as well as political institutions and actors, create systems of egg donation politics and regulation, particularly at the subnational level.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter describes linking spirituality and Advanced Care Planning (ACP); fear and ACP; how thinking about death changes people; religious views of ACP; denial and ACP; personal control and ACP; ethical principles and ACP; the spiritual work of ACP, including objective asessment; adaptation and ACP; and ritual, sacrament, and ACP. The discussion holds that dying is not primarily a medical event. The process of thinking about end-of-life issues can significantly impact on an individual’s attitudes, values, and belief systems. Dying patients can challenge the cultural illusion that life is going to last forever. This can be hard for families and professionals to accept and challenges their own fears around mortality. The importance and wisdom of religious rituals and religious symbolism cannot be ignored even in the most secular of contexts as they bring comfort to many. ACP is about life before death and can foster resilience and hope.

Full textAbstract:
The Politics of the Anthropocene is a sophisticated yet accessible treatment of how human institutions, practices, and principles need to be re-thought in response to the challenges of the Anthropocene, the emerging epoch of human-induced instability in the Earth system and its life-support capacities. However, the world remains stuck with practices and modes of thinking that were developed in the Holocene – the epoch of around 12,000 years of unusual stability in the Earth system, toward the end of which modern institutions such as states and capitalist markets arose. These institutions persist despite their potentially catastrophic failure to respond to the challenges of the Anthropocene, foremost among them a rapidly changing climate and accelerating biodiversity loss. The pathological trajectories of these institutions need to be disrupted by advancing ecological reflexivity: the capacity of structures, systems, and sets of ideas to question their own core commitments, and if necessary change themselves, while listening and responding effectively to signals from the Earth system. This book envisages a world in which humans are no longer estranged from the Earth system but engage with it in a more productive relationship. We can still pursue democracy, social justice, and sustainability – but not as before. In future, all politics should be first and foremost a politics of the Anthropocene. The arguments are developed in the context of issues such as climate change, biodiversity, and global efforts to address sustainability.

AbstractThis chapter deals with the organisation of care work by Polish parents. Using the data from in-depth interviews and survey data, I demonstrate cultural norms about care that prevails in Polish society. Strong gendered norms and instruments of family policy shape different opportunity structures for men and women. I focus on how parental leaves are used and perceived by Polish parents. I argue that they are still seen primarily as women’s right. I analyse the reasoning lying behind such thinking, but also show the experiences of parents who decided to share the leave. Then I proceed to the organisation of care in the context of so-called care gap. The Polish system of parental leaves is incompatible with the system of institutional care for children. Consequently, in the period between the end of paid leave and the time when a child can go to a kindergarten parents have to develop different strategies how to provide care for their children. I show how these strategies differ in the context of economic inequalities, as well as what consequences care gap has on gender inequalities. Finally, the chapter finishes with the analysis of how care work is perceived by parents.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 7 presents three high-level insights that can be drawn from this book’s look at a health system from a systems thinking perspective. First, all health systems suffer from one of systems theory’s classic descriptive models called The Tragedy of the Commons, in which a scarce resource is consumed when a collective benefit (e.g., health insurance) is subsidized and its price to the user is less than the cost to produce it. Second, when viewed from a systems perspective of value-for-money, most health systems face competing objectives—satisfying individual’s demands for maximizing their own medical care and providing healthcare as a fundamental right of all citizens regardless of ability to pay. Third, to integrate these goals requires re-framing the way societies think about each. The authors describe double-loop learning, which is required when confronting second-order change. The latter term describes problems where it is necessary to redesign human perceptions for change to lead to improvement. Complex changes require double-loop learning, in which underlying interpretive conflicts and differing values and beliefs are surfaced and managed.

Our Mindfulness into Action (MIA) research includes indigenous practices in exploring the potential for developing reflective leaders. When conducting research, Flood (2006) describes the system thinking approach as having two components: system thinking and systemic thinking. Understanding the difference between these two influences would provide a more comprehensive understanding of this phenomenon (intangible) and how it relates to research. System thinking is objective (tangible). This objective data is measured by quantitative and qualitative research method approaches. On the other hand, systemic thinking is subjective (intangible) as in the case with our taken-for-granted assumptions, which in this dissertation are measured qualitatively. The power of effective problem solving not only involves efficiency (tangible data), but also evaluates perspectives. Scholars such as, Senge (1990) describes this involuntary habitual life as mental models, yet we continue to operate within “the Veil” (Du Bois, 1989). Peter Senge (1990) questions if we are prisoners of the system or prisoners of our own thinking. In his book “The Fifth Discipline” he describes mental models as deeply engrained assumptions, generalizations or even pictures or images that influence how we understand the world and how we take action. If we can identify our mental models, this information can help in appreciating the forces that are shaping reality and how we are part of those forces and therefore, we can in turn affect them. Identifying our mental models allows for a neutral ground where different perspectives can meet to find a possible solution to the issue at hand. As participants identify their mental models, we describe the data from a MIA exploratory study; this chapter develops in four dimensions: subjectivity (e.g. mental models), objectivity (e.g. behavior), inter-subjectivity (e.g., culture), and inter-objectivity (e.g. systems).

Electronic voting, or e-voting, is a relatively closed process that contains inherent risks associated with the potential for voting irregularities, translation errors, and inappropriate manipulation (Oravec, 2005). To develop a greater understanding of trust issues surrounding the use of e-voting, an investigation into the public trust and the relationship between trust and electronic voting technology were assessed. Men and women of various ethnicities, ages, educational backgrounds, technological experiences, political affiliations, and prior experience with e-voting participated in this study. Rogers’ (1995) taxonomy of adopters—innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards—was used to classify individuals based on their willingness to participate in e-voting. A principle-components factor analysis (PCFA) with separate tests for discriminant validity and multiple-regression analyses were used to confirm the hypotheses. The findings suggest that innovators and early adopters are more likely to trust technology and express an intention to use an e-voting system.

The word pattern means a set of values, beliefs and actions that can be distinguished as informing e-government development. The patterns are derived from the literature on the information society and information systems practice. They aim to help people involved in e-government to make sense of their work and impacts and to facilitate communication. In the chapter we use the patterns to critically review an e-government initiative in Colombia called Gobierno en Línea (Online Government).

On their page intended to woo prospective graduate students, the Georgia Tech School of Music website says: . . . Successful design and development of music technology systems must be supported by knowledge of music theory, perception, composition, and performance, as well as digital media, computing, electrical and mechanical engineering, and design. . . . We don’t disagree, but that’s an awful lot to know! What’s more, requiring students to have even a subset of these skills before they can “get in the game” deprives a huge percentage of them the opportunity to learn valuable computing skills through the engaging power of music. There is no end to the money you can spend on technology to gain the ability to design and create. For certain types of projects, professional or “prosumer” software applications boasting the latest bells and whistles might in fact make total economic sense in terms of functionality and time. However, we don’t feel that it’s necessary to jump into the higher end of the market at the beginning stages of learning computational skills. In addition, such costs are prohibitive for most undergraduates and even graduate students. Of course, you could outfit a computer lab available to students with this level of software, but then they would have to do all their assignments in the lab. This is not a practical solution for our students because so many of them are commuters or work off campus and are unable to spend significant time in our labs outside of class time. We think it’s important that students can run the same software on their own systems that is demonstrated in class and with which they are expected to do their assignments. We therefore suggest that you adopt software platforms that you can download freely from the web, but that still allow you to explore broad computing and music concepts common to the higher end platforms. We don’t contend that such software is as sophisticated or as polished as its professional or “prosumer” cousins, but it is most likely fully sufficient for your teaching purposes.

What do Babbitt’s theoretical commitments tell us about how to listen to his music? This chapter excavates Babbitt’s reading in analytical philosophy (particularly of Rudolf Carnap) and cognitive psychology (particularly of George A. Miller) in an attempt to answer that question. Babbitt’s compositional techniques are reviewed in this light: array construction, interdimensional parallelism (e.g., the use of the time-point system to complement the twelve-tone system), and cross-references are shown to be motivated by a desire to write music amenable to rational reconstruction (in Carnap’s term) and sensitive to theories of memory and information processing. Babbitt’s views on Schenker are revisited: he found Schenkerian analysis to represent a model for musical memory. His understanding of language, too, is conditioned by his reading of philosophy and cognitive science. The chapter ends with a discussion of the limitations of Babbitt’s psychology as a guide to the analysis of his music.

Análisis de los aspectos clave que influencian la determinación de atributos tangibles e intangibles contenidos en aspectos para el diseño de producto-joya contemporánea, como potenciadores de valores diferenciales de comportamiento y preferencias por parte del consumidor, así como, por las propias organizaciones del sector en términos del fortalecimiento del capital intelectual, competitividad e identidad, a través del diseño y la gestión del conocimiento. La metodología consideró en primera instancia la recogida de información mediante distintas fuentes documentales (revistas científicas y profesionales, informes, instituciones, eventos especializados, libros, entre otros). A continuación, se emplearon métodos cualitativos para analizar la opinión de expertos y consumidores en América Latina y Europa, a los efectos de contrastar la importancia de los resultados obtenidos mediante información documental y sesiones grupales. Además, se observan las tendencias en entornos de desarrollo e interacción con el producto a través de distintos canales de comunicación especializados para analizar factores como el diseño, materiales y procesos que contribuyen en la toma de decisiones de compra. Se destacan los hallazgos sobre componentes relacionales en el producto-joya contemporánea y su contexto en cuanto a la innovación, así como la actuación de atributos clave en la definición del diseño y desarrollo del producto, para el consumidor y los productores del sector. Desde la comprensión de valores tangibles e intangibles, se esboza una caracterización del producto, en el marco de un modelo sistémico de gestión del conocimiento, en el que se presentan evidencias relevantes que pretenden favorecer la toma de decisiones del proceso inicial de diseño de joyería contemporánea, en un campo donde la literatura es limitada. La muestra de expertos es consistente y fiable, se logró consolidar datos en siete países, sin embargo, se espera continuar explorando más contextos geográficos y culturales. Se considera que la diversidad en el origen y procedencia actúan como grupos de control multidisciplinar. El estudio busca reconocer insights del usuario para contribuir con su satisfacción individual y colectiva, mediante una configuración oportuna del producto. El estudio posee gran valor especialmente para pequeños fabricantes y diseñadores de joyería, que buscan mayor participación en el mercado. Los aportes realizados se centran en el ámbito empírico, técnico, académico y empresarial relacionado con el producto-joya contemporánea, así como las aportaciones de relevancia detectadas para el investigador y el diseñador; también pueden servir como base para otros estudios enfocados en el diseño y la gestión en sectores productivos basados en los oficios artesanales.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/IFDP.2016.2471

El origen del sistema APPCC (Análisis de Peligros y Puntos de Control Críticos) se sitúa en el año 1959. La compañía norteamericana Pillsbury, junto con la NASA, idearon un sistema para garantizar la inocuidad de los alimentos que los astronautas consumirían en el espacio.A lo largo de la década de los noventa, las crisis alimentarias, provocaron un cambio de rumbo de la política de protección de los consumidores y de la seguridad alimentaria, por lo que se introdujo la obligatoriedad de establecer y poner en marcha programas y procedimientos de seguridad alimentaria basados en los principios del APPCC, en establecimientos alomentarios.Actualmente, se encuentran implantados los sistemas basados en APPCC en la mayoría de empresas del sector agroalimentario. No obstante, en muchos casos el desarrollo del sistema no se realiza correctamente, siendo inefectivo y no garantizando la seguridad alimentaria.El objetivo de este trabajo se centra en demostrar que la introducción de los modelos sistémicos aplicados en la optimización de sistemas jerarquizados, puede mejorar la implantación y efectividad de los sistemas APPCC, así como detectar los posibles fallos, y por tanto, garantizar la producción de alimentos seguros.Para ello, se ha llevado a cabo un estudio retrospectivo de índole cualitativo, en cuatro industrias pertenecientes al sector agroalimentario, obteniendo datos relativos a diversas variables necesarias para la implantación del sistema de control APPCC, con objeto de generar un modelo sistémico, que permita su posterior análisis comparativo con los sistemas de implantación tradicionales.Se ha determinado en los casos estudiados, que se producen fallos en cuanto a la determinación de variables a controlar, por exceso o defecto, en cuyo caso perjudica los intereses productivos de la empresa alimentaria y no garantiza una correcta protección de la salud de los consumidores.Finalmente, la evaluación mediante modelos sistémicos del APPCC permite detectar los fallos de implantación en las industrias implicadas, y obtener una herramienta, tanto para los operadores de empresas alimentarias como para los servicios de control oficial, que permite garantizar una correcta aplicación del sistema de autocontrol.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/IFDP.2016.3709

El Diseño Avanzado es una práctica orientada a la búsqueda y visualización de oportunidades de de innovación futuras, una práctica que si se realiza sistemáticamente, crea corredores de innovación para las empresas que trabajan bajo el concepto de innovación contínua.Estas prácticas han sido documentadas, en especial cuando se trata de su aplicación en la innovación territorial, de manera que se hace crucial para las regiones entender la complejidad implícita en estas dinámicas, así como el nuevo rol del diseñador,´pues su labor, aparace en etapas tempranas en las cuales, la anticipación, el diseño estratégico y la sistémica aplicada, juegan un papel fundamental en la identificación de oportunidades de desarrollo y aporte de valor para el territorio.En tal sentido, el presente artículo tiene como objetivo, disertar sobre estos fundamentos a través de la exposición de un caso específico: Ciudad Creativa Digital, proyecto de ciudad inteligente que suma los objetivos de renovación del entorno urbano de la Ciudad de Guadalajara, con la creación e impulso de la industria creativa en México. La metodología utilizada para tal fin, se basa en el análisis sistémico de los diferentes actores y variables que intervienen en el caso. Los resultados obtenidos como producto de interrelaciones del sistema, son la configuración de mapas o rutas que nuestran áreas de oportunidad para la innovación en una localidad determinada; situada dentro de una economía emergente que evoluciona de una estrategia de desarrollo económico basado en la manufactura, a una estrategia basada en el diseño y la innovación, con la creación de regiones del conocimiento y ciudades inteligentes.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/IFDP.2016.3728

En este artículo se pretende determinar el grado de importancia de los factores a considerar en el diseño de un producto, a partir de las diferentes consideraciones contempladas, desde la perspectiva del consumidor y del diseñador. Mediante la aplicación del método de Análisis de Componentes Principales, analizamos a partir de esta investigación y mediante el estudio de un caso, los atributos deseables para un producto, según la opinión de expertos y consumidores. Se comprueba tras la aplicación del método, la existencia de subsistemas que explican la necesidad de considerar determinados atributos (variables del sistema), teniendo en cuenta su grado de participación y afinidad, al observar su agrupación en “n” factores o subsistemas ,que tiene que ver con los componentes fundamentales utilizados comúnmente en el diseño de productos. El método persigue establecer la trazabilidad del diseño, determinando los constructos principales relativos a la función, ergonomía y forma de los productos, y todo ello orientado a la mejora en la definición conceptual de éstos, buscando en todo momento su implicación en lo que se refiere a gestión del conocimiento, la mejora en la aplicación de métodos, técnicas y procedimientos, con objeto de optimizar el diseño y/o rediseño de los productos industriales.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/IFDP.2016.3232

Desde sus orígenes los plásticos han revolucionado el mundo debido a su versatilidad frente a otros materiales, sin embargo, el volumen de material ha crecido ostensiblemente como se registra en los datos de Plastics (2015), donde se afirma que 311 millones de toneladas de plástico se han producido en el mundo en el año 2014. De otra parte, según el informe del Banco Internacional de Desarrollo (2011), el negocio del reciclaje en Latinoamérica, es en su mayoría informal, los recicladores desempeñan una labor ambiental importante siendo ellos quienes recolectan el 60.9% de los residuos reciclables (en Colombia), estos trabajadores obtienen una remuneración muy baja aun cuando manipulan materias primas con alto valor económico, siendo sus ingresos mensuales en promedio 22,14 USD es decir menos de un dólar diario, lo cual establece índices de pobreza absoluta y hace necesario intervenir con el fin de dignificar el trabajo y erradicar la pobreza extrema. (Programa de Naciones Unidas , 2015). Con estos elementos preliminares del volumen de materiales plásticos y el trabajo subvalorado de los recicladores, este proyecto propone reciclar plásticos desarrollando una extrusora que produzca la transformación del material plástico de consumo masivo desechado, en filamento para impresión 3D, -teniendo en cuenta la emergente masificación de las impresoras 3D FDM (Fused Deposition Material)- Este trabajo es desarrollado en conjunto con una comunidad de “reciclaje Nashira” en el Bolo San Isidro, corregimiento del Valle del Cauca - Colombia y plantea su desarrollo a través de metodologías de co-diseño incluyendo a la comunidad activamente en el proyecto (Sanders & Stappers, 2014), a su vez es necesario abordar los elementos claves de este proceso mediante estrategias sistémicas de desarrollo de producto (Hernandis, 2015), así a partir de este enfoque se define la configuración del objeto final con el diseño como medio transformador de aspectos intangibles como el conocimiento, asociado una dimensión sociocultural donde la interacción es dada siempre por la comunidad como actor principal.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/IFDP.2016.3759

Según el arquitecto y escritor Witold Rybczynski “el deseo de hacer algo bien, ya sea navegar en un velero o construirlo, refleja una necesidad que antes estaba relacionada con el lugar de trabajo” (1992, p. 202-203) pero en una época cada vez más automatizada y simplificada por la tecnología, el desafío del trabajo análogo de tiempos anteriores encuentra otros nichos donde emerger. Las tendencias relativas al retorno de los oficios en la actualidad pueden ser explicadas a través un análisis social, laboral y económico, donde la sobre-oferta profesional y la rutina del trabajo automatizado ha propiciado una revalorización del trabajo manual y el retorno de oficios que permite a algunos profesionales guardar sus títulos en el cajón para dedicarse a ser zapateros, panaderos o carpinteros. Por otro lado, las tendencias relacionadas a los emprendimientos de la nueva generación diseñadores de productos, que configuran su propuesta de valor desde una mirada mucho más consciente de los procesos productivos locales que pueden gatillar, son también un antecedente de esta necesidad de replantear la forma como consumimos y producimos bienes. El auge de estos nuevos emprendimientos de marcas de diseño local, derivados de distintas disciplinas, que han comenzado a desarrollar una conexión productiva más integrada con fabricantes y artesanos locales avanza, pero a tropiezos. La desindustrialización de los países occidentales y la interrupción del proceso de industrialización en muchos países de Latinoamérica impactó en la creciente escasez de productores locales así como también de estructuras organizativas y educativas en torno a la manufactura y los oficios, situación que evidencia los problemas en las cadenas de valor de diseñadores que producen localmente y la falta de capital productivo y asociativo de productores locales. El requerimiento de diseñar nuevos sistemas productivos que permitan articular a los distintos actores involucrados en estos nuevos escenarios locales incluye repensar modelos de negocios, estrategias de capacitación y generación de capital productivo en economías colaborativas. La estrategia del uso de talleres colaborativos en la generación de soluciones compartidas entre diseñadores y productores, así como también la incorporación de estrategias open source en el uso libre de este capital por cualquier actor del sistema, podría ayudar en la efectiva generación de nuevos sistemas productivos que atiendan nuevos mercados sustentables.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/IFDP.2016.33322016.啮楶敲獩瑡琠偯汩瓨据楣愠摥⁖慬捩愬⁓灡楮ⰠIFDP`16 -Systems & Design:BeyondProcesses and Thinking

El desempeño profesional en ingeniería está vinculado con el diseño, el producto y los procesos asociados, el cálculo y funcionamiento de máquinas, equipos, procesos, estructuras, entre otros, abordados desde una concepción lógica basada en la formación dada por las ciencias matemáticas y físicas. Si bien su formación de base en estas ciencias ha sido de características perennes y la evolución técnica ha puesto a su disposición herramientas para facilitar su aplicación en aspectos tecnológicos, su adecuada utilización frente a desafíos de nuevos conocimientos permitió asombrosos y vertiginosos avances mediante su aplicación ética y responsable asociada al diseño. El diseño, más allá de la utilización de herramientas informáticas facilitadoras de este proceso, necesita una revisión en la formación en ingenierías que permitan trasponer estos límites, abordándolo desde la productividad y el medio ambiente asociado al ciclo de vida del producto que hoy el pos grado da accesibilidad. El interés de este trabajo es profundizar el concepto de formación ingenieril vinculada al diseño, investigando la necesidad de este cambio, en un concepto que lleve implícito un nuevo abordaje de sus diseños curriculares que lo cuantifiquen y cualifiquen.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/IFDP.2016.4248

Asumiendo que la función de diseño es un proceso que interactúa con otros procesos dentro y fuera de la organización con un alto impacto en el éxito comercial de empresa es necesario para comprender el fenómeno como tal en primera instancia ponderar sus características propias, comprender como son sus relaciones, analizar sus mecanismos de transferencia de información y cuál es el impacto de sus acciones en el producto final y su confiabilidad. Este proceso ha sido estudiado detalladamente en las últimas décadas con el objeto de sistematizarlo de modo de incrementar la competitividad del producto resultado mediante el aumento de la calidad, la reducción de costes y tiempo de fabricación. Si bien las propuestas metodológicas ofrecen variación y matices en la ejecución del diseño de un producto, todas comparten que el proceso creativo se concentra en las fases iniciales, particularmente en estas fases es donde se sintetizan las primeras soluciones (proceso de ideación) en su definición teórica a un nivel de abstracción que permite el desarrollo del concepto global y de los principios que van a regir al producto en cuestión. Consideramos que la gestión y el diseño como dos funciones o procesos en el cual interactúan diferentes actores tanto externos como internos pudiendo afirmar que de una manera o de otra están relacionados con la organización ya su vez se relacionan entre sí por medio de variables comunes. El objeto de la investigación fueron las pymes de la región centro de la República Argentina teniendo como objetivos la de investigar las características organizativas, la relación con los sistemas exteriores (clientes, proveedores, etc.), los circuitos de información entre la función de diseño y el resto de las funciones y su relación con el producto continuando posteriormente con un análisis estructural llevado a cabo por expertos de modo de poder determinar las variables sensibles del producto terminado y del modelo de gestión. Se observó el efecto de las variables de gestión en el producto realizando a través de la curva de Weibull de productos agroindustriales de baja y media tecnología, demostrando que la confiabiabilidad del producto es la variable más sensible de la gestión del diseño.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/IFDP.2016.3681

Hoy vivimos en la llamada “sociedad del conocimiento”, la cual ha generado grandes trasformaciones en el quehacer empresarial. Las empresas han pasado de un sistema productivo, basado en factores materiales, a un sistema económico constituido por factores cognitivos, creativos e informativos que contribuyen cada vez más a la riqueza de las empresas. En este contexto, el objetivo del artículo es identificar las nuevas formas de conocimiento que transforman, específicamente, la dimensión empresarial y su vinculación con los componentes intangibles, cuyo tratamiento se convierte en insumos del proceso de diseño. Para su desarrollo, se optó por una investigación descriptiva de la literatura existente, que permita crear un estado del arte para así conocer qué aspectos se han investigado y cuales permanecen desconocidos. En este sentido, se pudo evidenciar que el mayor reto para las empresas es la gestión apropiada del conocimiento, para de este modo alcanzar un posicionamiento competitivo y asegurar su supervivencia. La disciplina de diseño desempeña un papel estelar en la consecución de este objetivo, pues, bajo una visión sistémica, realiza la función transformadora de buscar nuevas estrategias, que le permitan identificar y mejorar la gestión de los intangibles empresariales, con la clara intención de innovar y optimizar el diseño de lo tangible.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/IFDP.2016.2997
