SME open innovation has received limited attention, especially among SMEs. When it is analyzed in SMEs, it is mostly associated to new product development, overlooking the fact that process innovation is a strategy commonly pursued by SMEs that requires organizing search strategies or external knowledge sourcing for that purpose. Focusing on European firms (SEMs) and classifying for their technological innovation (product, process or product & process orientation), this project is devoted to the understanding of key external sources of SME innovation and also showing how open innovation is linked to SME performance. The results will contribute to the literature on SME open innovation

Business model for the optimization of energy consumption by VAC equipment in service sector buildings

Electricity consumption has been growing in recent decades, and it is estimated that air conditioning accounts for 30% of a building’s total electricity consumption. However, in hot climates this percentage may be even higher, which has led to the development of energy management techniques aimed at reducing the high electric bills paid by end users. This article proposes a business model for the commercialization of intelligent solutions for the optimization of electricity consumption by air conditioning equipment (VAC) in service sector buildings. The study used the Canvas methodology to validate the proposed model, in combination with other techniques such as SCAMPER, interviews, and discussion groups, among others, to validate the proposed business model aimed at the introduction of new techniques for the commercialization of air conditioning. Service-sector buildings exposed to the climate conditions of the Colombian Caribbean region were used as case study. The results summarize the characteristics of the business model, including the respective validations of the nine “Canvas” modules, which enabled reviewing two possible scenarios offering different alternatives for implementation of this initiative

Characterization of the current electric energy needs in subsidized residential users

In this paper it is considered the characterization and behaviour of the residential energy demand of users located in socioeconomic sectors of the Department of Atlántico, also, the participation of communities to declare the typical energy consumption at the residential level. The results are based on direct measurement sources which allows the development of energy efficiency projects, renewable energies that respond to the needs of the communities and seek to encourage the proliferation of renewable energy projects by adequately sizing the installed capacities of the resources, with the possibility of establishing grid connection as well as systems for energy management in residential users

Experimental design for obtaining compost suitable for agricultural use from Kraft paper sludge

The physicochemical characteristics of paper sludge from the paper industry allow its use in composting for agricultural purposes, becoming a sustainable disposal alternative for this type of waste. The aim of this article is, to define the levels of treatment that allow obtaining compost with recommended percentages of Carbon and Nitrogen for agricultural use, through a design of experiments (DOE). The proportion of paper sludge in the mixture (50% and 75%) and the composting technique (composting and vermicomposting) were defined as experimental factors. It was concluded that the vermicomposting method, accompanied by a high proportion of paper sludge, allows obtaining compost with adequate levels for response variables: % C and % N

Implementation of a Predictive Information System for University Dropout Prevention

[EN] departments. Recent changes in education methods, socio-economic conditions, and the growing limitations of face to face interactions make it necessary to have tools that allow us to consider a broad set of factors related to the dropout phenomenon. The objective of this article is to show the implementation results of a predictive information system (IS) for the prevention of university dropout in a higher education institution. The system allows the calculation of the risk of dropout per student and uses an alert generation procedure to coordinate interventions. The platform allowed measuring the impact of the intervention strategies on the permanence of the students. Likewise, it made possible the reorganization of the intervention process towards the students, prioritizing according to the risk level. © 2021 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Model for the development of innovation as a dynamic capability for an organization in the furniture industry

Innovation plays a key role in achieving and maintaining a competitive advantage. However, in order for innovation to be able to address rapid changes in the environment, it must be developed as a dynamic capability, i.e., it must enable the integration and reconfiguration of resources and capabilities to this effect. Consequently, this study approaches innovation by proposing a model for its development as a dynamic capability for an organization in the furniture industry in the city of Barranquilla. This perspective of dynamic capabilities explains how competitive advantages are achieved in a rapidly changing environment, and it also characterizes the organizational factors that promote its development

Evaluación del estado de la calidad del agua a través de normativas e indicadores fisicoquímicos para la administración de los recursos hídricos en el distrito de gestión integrada del Salto del Tequendama

Water resources are of great importance in the administration of protected areas. This is linked to the quality of surface water bodies that pro-vide different eco-systemic services, since they shelter different species of fauna and flora. In relation to Resolution 1596 of 2006 adopted by the General Direction of the CAR, which states the Management Plan for the Integrated Management District (DMI by its abbreviation in Spanish) in the area of Salto del Tequendama - Cerro Manjui, attached to the Water Cycle Management program and in relation with the "Water Quality Control" project, states the evaluation of the conditions of the different water sources in relation to water collection given by the communities as one of its objectives, and at the same time exposes the determinants of the conditions that take place in the surface water bodies. In this article, a correlation of the uses that are stated in the management plan will be performed in order to com-pare the results, which are obtained by means of the environmental monitoring that is evaluating the control and management of the "Water Quality Control". Based on the evaluation of water quality, it was possible to determine whether the uses that are defined in the Management Plan are appropriate, by linking them to the Water Quality Control program. Calculations were also made conducive to obtain indicators that would allow us to estimate the quality of the water and possible sources of pollution.Los recursos hídricos son de gran importancia en la administración de áreas protegidas. Esto está ligado a la calidad de las masas de agua superficiales que brindan diferentes servicios ecosistémicos, ya que albergan diferentes especies de fauna y flora. En relación a la Resolución 1596 de 2006 adoptada por la Dirección General de la CAR, que establece el Plan de Manejo del Distrito de Manejo Integrado (DMI) en el área del Salto del Tequendama - Cerro Manjui, adscrito al Ciclo del Agua Programa de gestión y en relación con el proyecto "Control de la calidad del agua", plantea la evaluación de las condiciones de las diferentes fuentes de agua en relación a la captación de agua dada por las comunidades como uno de sus objetivos, y al mismo tiempo expone los determinantes de la condiciones que tienen lugar en los cuerpos de agua superficiales. En este artículo se realizará una correlación de los usos que se establecen en el plan de gestión con el fin de comparar los resultados, que se obtienen mediante el seguimiento ambiental que está evaluando el control y la gestión del "Control de Calidad del Agua ". A partir de la evaluación de la calidad del agua, se pudo determinar si los usos que se definen en el Plan de Manejo son adecuados, vinculándolos al programa de Control de Calidad del Agua. También se realizaron cálculos propicios para obtener indicadores que nos permitan estimar la calidad del agua y posibles fuentes de contaminación
