Bibliometric analysis of themes competitive intelligence, knowledge management and organizational knowledge in Institutional Repository University of Brasília

Trata da análise dos temas Inteligência Competitiva (IC), Gestão do Conhecimento (GC) e Conhecimento Organizacional (CO), no Repositório Institucional da Universidade da Brasília (RIUnB), que está disponível em acesso aberto desde setembro de 2008. O objetivo é verificar a produção científica sobre as áreas de pesquisa, a partir dos documentos que constam no RIUnB. O método de trabalho consistiu nos estudos bibliométricos, a fim de se inteirar sobre a produção de trabalhos referentes ao conhecimento resultante do desenvolvimento de pesquisas no âmbito institucional, para conhecer a comunidade. Os resultados apontam para um crescimento notório desses temas na ciência da informação, com perspectiva de crescimento em outras áreas: administração, engenharia elétrica, educação e gestão social e trabalho, demonstrando sua potencial interdisciplinaridade; houve maior concentração de publicação nos temas gestão do conhecimento, conhecimento organizacional e inteligência competitiva, respectivamente, e existe uma concentração dessas publicações em três pesquisadores na comunidade da Faculdade de Ciência da Informação (FCI). Conclui-se que os temas são mais frequentes na área de ciência da informação, entretanto, nota-se o seu aparecimento em outras áreas do conhecimento, na UnB: administração, engenharia elétrica, educação e gestão social e do trabalho. Esses dados podem revelar uma tendência de consolidação dos temas de pesquisa em outras áreas. ________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACTThis analysis of topics Competitive Intelligence (CI), Knowledge Management (KM) and Organizational Knowledge (CO) in the Institutional Repository of the University of Brasília (RIUnB) which is available in open access since September 2008. The aim is to check the scientific literature on the research areas from the documents listed in RIUnB. The working method consisted in bibliometric studies, in order to learn about the production of works relating to knowledge resulting from research development at the institutional level to know the community. The results indicate a remarkable growth of these themes in information science, with growth prospects in other areas: administration, electrical engineering, management and education and social work, demonstrating its potential interdisciplinarity, there was a higher concentration of publishing on issues of knowledge management, organizational knowledge and competitive intelligence, respectively, and there is a concentration of such publications in three community researchers in the Faculty of Information Science (FCI). We conclude that the issues are more frequent in the area of information science, however, note its appearance in other areas of knowledge in UNB: administration, electrical engineering, education and social management and labor. These data may reveal a trend of consolidation of research topics in other areas

Measuring the impact of information on development: A LISREL-based study of small businesses in Shanghai

As part of a larger project studying the impact of information on development, an investigation was made of the feasibility of using the LISREL (Linear Structural RELations) model to determine the impact of information, relative to other factors, on development of the small manufacturing business sector in Shanghai, China. Data was collected via questionnaire from 450 businesses in the city. A convergent LISREL model showed that the major factors affecting business success were, first, business environment, and, second, information use. Informal information use was more important to business success than use of more formal sources

Multimedia search with pseudo-relevance feedback

We present an algorithm for video retrieval that fuses the decisions of multiple retrieval agents in both text and image modalities. While the normalization and combination of evidence is novel, this paper emphasizes the successful use of negative pseudo-relevance feedback to improve image retrieval performance. Although we have not solved all problems in video information retrieval, the results are encouraging, indicating that pseudo-relevance feedback shows great promise for multimedia retrieval with very varied and errorful data. 1 Video Retrieval from Mixed Text and Image Queries In this paper, we present an algorithm for the task of video retrieval. A query, consisting of a text description plus images or video is posed against a video collection, and relevant shots are to be retrieved. Our system accomplishes this by fusing the retrieval results of multiple retrieval agents. The overall system can be decomposed into several agents, including a text-oriented retrieval agent, which is responsible for finding the text in the speech transcripts [4] and Video OCR [3],

Records management practices in small and medium sized enterprises: a study in North East England.

A survey study of 300 enterprises in North-East England yielded new information on the records management procedures in small and medium sized enterprises. The survey showed that companies with more formalised management structures took a more organised approach to records management, and companies with various formal policies paid more attention to records management. Records management practices seemed to be independent of company size and industrial sector
