Existe una alta correlación entre la competitividad y la tecnología con la que cuenta una empresa o un país. Esta tecnología no contempla simplemente el grado de automatización de las funciones productivas, sino también de las gestiones entre los diversos departamentos de la organización internamente y externamente, así como sus capacidades. El futuro de los negocios no está basado solamente en la tecnología, pero estos están altamente sustentados en la tecnología y sus aplicaciones. La aceleración del cambio tecnológico y del resto de fuerzas del mercado, en conjunto con el proceso de globalización, afecta hoy a cualquier empresa o país, con el riesgo latente de no ser capaces de identificar las amenazas externas (Clientes, Competidores, Mercado...) si no se cuenta con herramientas y sistemas que generen inteligencia para poder pronosticar y definir tendencias de los cambios internos y externos en el corto , mediano y largo plazo, que permitan a la organización generar estrategias de innovación que les ayude a asegurar un crecimiento y desarrollo sostenido. La inteligencia tecnológica definida por Escorsa y Rodríguez (2000), es un sistema para detectar, analizar y emplear información sobre eventos técnicos, tendencias y en general, actividades o aspectos clave para la competitividad de la empresa con el propósito de obtener una mejor explotación de la tecnología. Por este motivo es necesario tener un mecanismo sistemático para la inteligencia tecnológica que redefina o valide los supuestos que afectan la dirección estratégica del negocio y de los procesos de innovación, con el objetivo de que el resultado del proceso de inteligencia genere información clave y de calidad para hacer más certeras las tomas de decisiones. Como es el caso de otras industrias, la industria de la fundición de aluminio no está exenta de un ambiente competitivo que se ha visto afectado por la alta dependencia con los tres grandes (Ford, Daimler Chrysler y General Motors) de la industria automotriz en los Estados Unidos. Con este antecedente se ve la necesidad de reestructurar el portafolio de clientes e incursionar a otros ambientes competitivos. Bajo el marco descrito de la industria de la fundición, se visualiza la necesidad en las fundiciones de componentes high-tech en México, de generar sistemas y procesos de innovación que les permita crear ventajas competitivas de manera sistemática, para incursionar a nuevos mercados y crecer con los clientes actuales, mediante la creación de nuevas aplicaciones y soluciones, que aseguren un crecimiento global sostenido y una relación con los clientes de largo plazo. En virtud de lo anterior, se seleccionó la industria de la fundición como caso de estudio, la cual es una industria donde participan de pequeños a grandes negocios, que en el caso de México las grandes fundiciones en la zona Norte de dueños mexicanos, han ayudado a impulsar el crecimiento regional y a ser una fuente importante de generación de empleos y de exportaciones. En específico se utilizarán como sujeto de análisis las tecnologías casting y de moldeo high-tech, utilizadas para la producción de monoblocks de aluminio, utilizados por la industria automotriz para el ensamble de los motores de combustión interna. El objetivo general de la investigación es la generación de una propuesta de inteligencia competitiva y tecnológica, que tenga como objetivo el dar soporte para generar estrategias de innovación, con la finalidad de aumentar el grado de competitividad e incrementar o mejorar los activos tecnológicos de una organización mexicana e incursionar en nuevos mercados, todo esto mediante la aplicación de una metodología de inteligencia competitiva y tecnológica.

Work is constantly reshaped by technological progress. New ways of production are adopted, markets expand, and societies evolve. But some changes provoke more attention than others, in part due to the vast uncertainty involved in making predictions about the future. The 2019 World Development Report will study how the nature of work is changing as a result of advances in technology today. Technological progress disrupts existing systems. A new social contract is needed to smooth the transition and guard against rising inequality. Significant investments in human capital throughout a person’s lifecycle are vital to this effort. If workers are to stay competitive against machines they need to train or retool existing skills. A social protection system that includes a minimum basic level of protection for workers and citizens can complement new forms of employment. Improved private sector policies to encourage startup activity and competition can help countries compete in the digital age. Governments also need to ensure that firms pay their fair share of taxes, in part to fund this new social contract. The 2019 World Development Report presents an analysis of these issues based upon the available evidence.

·What can be done to ensure universities are well positioned to meet the challenges of the fast moving world of the 21st century? This is the central question addressed by Burton R. Clark in this significant new volume which greatly extends the case studies and concepts presented in his 1998 book, Creating Entrepreneurial Universities. The new volume draws on case studies of fourteen proactive institutions in the UK, Europe, Australia, Latin America, Africa, and the United States that extend analysis into the early years of the twenty-first century. The cumulative international coverage underpins a more fully developed conceptual framework offering insight into ways of initiating and sustaining change in universities. This new conceptual framework shifts attention from transformation to sustainability rooted in a constructed steady state of change and a collegial approach to entrepreneurialism. It contains key elements necessary for universities to adapt successfully to the modern world. Lessons for reform can be drawn directly from both the individual case studies and the general framework. Overall the book offers a new form of university organization that is more self-reliant and manages to combine change with continuity, traditional academic values with new managerial values. Essential reading for university administrators, faculty members, students and researchers analysing higher education, and educational policymakers worldwide, this book advocates a highly proactive approach to university change and specifies a new basis for university self- reliance. Burton R. Clark is Allan M. Cartter Professor Emeritus of Higher Education and Sociology at the University of California, Los Angeles. During his career, he has taught at five leading US universities: Stanford, Harvard, Berkeley, Yale and UCLA. He has published widely on the nature of university organization and the realistic possibilties of reform, linking research for understanding with research for use.

Rethink your business for the digital age. Every business begun before the Internet now faces the same challenge: How to transform to compete in a digital economy? Globally recognized digital expert David L. Rogers argues that digital transformation is not about updating your technology but about upgrading your strategic thinking. Based on Rogers's decade of research and teaching at Columbia Business School, and his consulting for businesses around the world, The Digital Transformation Playbook shows how pre-digital-era companies can reinvigorate their game plans and capture the new opportunities of the digital world. Rogers shows why traditional businesses need to rethink their underlying assumptions in five domains of strategy—customers, competition, data, innovation, and value. He reveals how to harness customer networks, platforms, big data, rapid experimentation, and disruptive business models—and how to integrate these into your existing business and organization. Rogers illustrates every strategy in this playbook with real-world case studies, from Google to GE, from Airbnb to the New York Times. With practical frameworks and nine step-by-step planning tools, he distills the lessons of today's greatest digital innovators and makes them usable for businesses at any stage. Many books offer advice for digital start-ups, but The Digital Transformation Playbook is the first complete treatment of how legacy businesses can transform to thrive in the digital age. It is an indispensable guide for executives looking to take their firms to the next stage of profitable growth.
