Administración electrónica: situación actual y retos de futuro

Es fa un breu recorregut per les iniciatives que en matèria d'administració electrònica s'han dut a terme a Catalunya per poder reflexionar sobre la situació actual de les administracions. S'evidencia la manca de cooperació interadministrativa que encara hi ha, tot i els avenços en la posada en marxa de serveis electrònics públics i en el grau de sofisticació que aquests estan introduint. Amb l'entrada en vigor de la Llei d'accés electrònic dels ciutadans als Serveis Públics es marca un fet diferencial en reconèixer el dret de la ciutadania a l'accés electrònic als serveis públics, i l'obligació de les administracions d'oferir tots els seus serveis electrònicament a finals de l'any 2009. Aquest impuls necessari promou la idea de pensar en el ciutadà i els seus interessos, al mateix temps que, amb aquest canvi de visió es dóna el substrat ideal per avançar cap a una administració 2.0, més dinàmica (agilitat), col·laborativa (interoperabilitat) i participativa (social).A brief tour is realized on the initiatives that on electronic administration have carried out in Catalonia to be able to think about the current situation of the administrations. There demonstrates the lack of interadministrative cooperation that continues existing, in spite of the advances set in motion of electronic public services and in the degree of sophistication that these are introducing. With the come into force of LAECSP, a differential milestone is marked on having recognized the right of the citizenship to the electronic access to public services, and the obligation on the part of the Administrations to offer all its services electronically at the end of the year 2009. This necessary impulse promotes the idea of thinking aboutthe citizen and its interests, in addition, with this change of vision one gives the ideal substratum to advance towards an Administration 2.0, more dynamic (agility), collaborative (interoperability) and participative (social).Se hace un breve recorrido por las iniciativas en materia de administración pública que se han llevado a cabo en Cataluñapara poder reflexionar sobre la situación actual de las administraciones.

Innovation: patterns, trends and insights into information

Innovation is a continuous need to improve and to adapt to changes, and even anticipate them, to maintain or increase competitive advantage over those with activities similar to ours.

Confidence-Based Learning in Investment Analysis

The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of using multiple choice tests in subjects related to the administration and business management. To this end we used a multiple-choice test with specific questions to verify the extent of knowledge gained and the confidence and trust in the answers. The tests were performed in a group of 200 students at the bachelor's degree in Business Administration and Management. The analysis made have been implemented in one subject of the scope of investment analysis and measured the level of knowledge gained and the degree of trust and security in the responses at two different times of the course. The measurements have been taken into account different levels of difficulty in the questions asked and the time spent by students to complete the test. The results confirm that students are generally able to obtain more knowledge along the way and get increases in the degree of trust and confidence in the answers. It is confirmed as the difficulty level of the questions set a priori by the heads of the subjects are related to levels of security and confidence in the answers. It is estimated that the improvement in the skills learned is viewed favourably by businesses and are especially important for job placement of students
