The Scope of the Knowledge Economy and Innovation

Feb 15, 2009

"Probably the great evolutionary leap between hominids occurred the day that one of those people were able to intuit what I was thinking another member of their group. Knowing what your partner was thinking allowed him to help ... or manipulating it. This tendency to convince the others of our own views or try to manipulate them does not seem to be interrupted since then "

Eduardo Punset

Major changes in recent years have come about in the economic scenarios of the different countries of this planet Earth, more and more information becomes more dynamic. No doubt the great purposes which has computing, as we said José Fernández Enebral in Virtual Society Relations, and it is true that the so-called social networks are becoming a very significant dimension: it points to the Social Software as something revolutionary. But despite any reservations, it must be aware of the emerging knowledge economy and innovation.

The dynamic behavior of the economic trade is increasingly aggressive, which clearly shows that firms that have led to changes in their organizational structures, management of an aggressive, creative, innovative manufacturing products with quality assurance to a good service and adequate information, are the ones that really succeed, conquer markets and generate new needs of consumers they serve, many of them leading in a significant dependence on the companies that it provides.

Definitely, many countries have led to the conquest of markets not only national but international, that have developed from all that efficient information society with its modern technology generates. Andalusia Enebral respect that shows for example

Spain should be among the most advanced countries in information technologies and communication, but also all depends on how we interpret the idea of the Information Society, perhaps because they often interpret it as "Society of Informatics and Telecommunications."

Nevertheless adds in seminars attended andalusia regard feedback was already mainly sight something consume but feedstock fundamental economics knowledge feedstock from which extract longed namely for conveniently apply for prosperity.
Computing and Telecommunications is inexcusable, but the knowledge is valuable and applicable information comes from a rigorous and appropriate to enable us easily. It is true that we handle a lot of information on businesses, is plentiful, but perhaps not always enough and appropriate, nor is it sufficiently rigorous and easy to translate into valuable knowledge and application.
We may be doing wrong and false apprenticeship learning, and perhaps errors in the decisions because the information is not reaching the proper quality, or properly evaluated. We have good networks and good support, but in some cases, information poor.

Makes the warning that the information we use in business has always meant that appears, and can not believe everything you read in print or electronically. It is true that each of us perceives reality in its own way, depending on their beliefs, feelings, values, concerns and desires, but we can also see us with incomplete, misleading, inaccurate or manipulated. Thus, if we add the possible lack of quality information with the tendency of the brain (because of its many "filters") to deceive, the result could be unreliable.

Definitely need a good information literacy, which the companies operate properly, which will inculcate in all its human resources to identify and know the business, where the data banks of information professionals in a user-friendly information system soon to learn and to generate good results.
To the extent that knowledge is more productive for the operation of firms, their competitiveness, thanks to new technologies, developed new styles of management, it is necessary not to overlook how this affects productivity, employee performance and motivation for their innovative talent to benefit all.

This is without doubt due to all these developments, the changes in the economy, to marketing has led to a new knowledge worker, as noted Enebral needed, of course, a good dose of "informational dexterity "... in this regard stresses the importance, Drucker noted that about it, who lay their profile indicating areas:

Visible degree of personal and professional development.
Digital dexterity and informational.
Autonomy in the performance and learning.
Creative and innovative capacity.
Loyalty to the profession and quality in work.
This worker is, therefore, indicates Enebral, a valuable asset to the knowledge economy straight, but let me recall that the manual worker is not necessarily out of this profile, because there are crafts that require great doses of knowledge, without resorting to the example of the surgeon or dentist. All work is needed in society, and most of them require an expertise which should be updated periodically, probably without the assumption of new roles and responsibilities for workers. Neither identify the employee's university to know its origin: almost all we have to learn continuously and therefore suitable to handle information
Specifically, this shows a great knowledge economy where you need to be prepared to operate effectively in it and ensure participation to organizations to enable them to achieve the results you demand that economy.

Consider what Enebral says Fernandez, who claim that economy aprendedores professionals who are permanent and that your individual competitiveness, contribute to the collective. We must develop our abilities and strengths of humans and the need to convert knowledge into valuable and applicable information available. But if there is a gap between knowledge and information, as there is between it and technology, we also found the gap between knowledge and the high performance, and between knowledge and innovation. Improve our productivity and competitiveness happen, without ruling out other challenges, either by solving these four hiatuses in each company.
