Grassroots Innovation Actors: Their Role and Positioning in Economic Ecosystems -- A Comparative Study Through Complex Network Analysis

This study offers an examination of grassroots innovation actors and their integration within larger economic ecosystems. Through a comparative analysis in Oaxaca, Mexico; La Plata, Argentina; and Araucania, Chile, this research sheds light on the vital role that grassroots innovation plays in broader economic ecosystems. Using Complex Network Analysis and the TE-SER model, the study unveils how these actors interact, collaborate, and influence major economic ecosystems in the context of complex social challenges. The findings highlight that actors from the grassroots innovation ecosystem make up a significant portion of the larger innovation-driven entrepreneurial economic ecosystem, accounting for between 20% and 30% in all three cases and are strategically positioned within the ecosystem's structural network. Additionally, this study emphasizes the potential for greater integration of grassroots innovation actors to leverage resources and foster socio-economic development. The research concludes by advocating for further studies in similar socio-economic contexts to enhance our understanding of integration dynamics and mutual benefits between grassroots innovation ecosystems and other larger economic systems.Comment: 21 page

Measuring the Impact of Agile Coaching on Students’ Performance

Agile methods have been in the cutting-edge of software engineering as a means to improve management of software development processes. The widespread use of such methods in professional contexts has encouraged their integration into software engineering training and undergraduate courses. Although there are several research works that have focused on teaching Scrum through simulating a software development project, they have covered only the learning of practices within a Scrum team, and a few of them have tackled non-technical skills beyond the development practices. Thus, we claim that it is necessary to help students understand Scrum rules, clear project obstacles and tackle non-technical issues such as management and teamwork.Sociedad Argentina de Informática e Investigación Operativa (SADIO

From software architecture descriptions to object-oriented designs

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is becoming a dominant approach for developing distributed enterprise-wide applications. One of the reasons for SOA’s extended use is its capacity to rapidly build applications by assembling alreadyimplemented and Internet-accessible services, which allows software organizations to hasten development of distributed applications and their consequent time-tomarket. However, this approach to develop SOA applications results unsuitable for particular organizations with high-priority and critical demands of internal control, security, flexibility, confidentiality and data integrity of their services, since the development of core functionality may be jeopardized by either uncertainty or changing environment. Although many efforts have focused mainly on facilitating discovering of services, and the outsourcing and reuse of them in SOA-based applications, little attention has been paid to aiding designers in developing services associated with business goals and quality-attribute properties. Moreover, quality-attribute properties of the service assemblies have been disregarded, which often leads to mismatches between the quality-attribute behavior prescribed by the SOA and the one resulting after its implementation.

Perspectivas y estrategias de internacionalización en la Universidad Nacional de San Juan

O CONGRESSO DE INTERNACIONALIZAÇÃO DA EDUCAÇÃO SUPERIOR – CIES 2019 é um evento in- ternacional, que reúne professores, pesquisadores e estudantes de graduação e pós-graduação para divulgar a produção científica no campo da Internacionalização do Ensino Superior e fortalecer a cooperação internacional entre diferentes instituições de ensino e grupos de pesquisa no âmbito do MERCOSUL. A iniciativa é fruto de uma parceria entre pesquisadores da Universidade Federal da Integra- ção Latino-Americana (UNILA - Brasil), a Universidad Nacional del Litoral (UNL - Argentina), a Uni- versidad Nacional de Asunción (UNA - Paraguay) e a Universidad de la República (UDeLaR - Uru- guay), que atuam em projetos vinculados ao Setor Educacional do MERCOSUL, no Núcleo de Estudos e Investigações em Educação Superior. O evento será realizado nos dias 4, 5 e 6 de Setembro de 2019 no campus PTI da UNILA, dentro do Parque Tecnológico da Usina Hidrelétrica de Itaipu, na cidade de Foz do Iguaçu, Paraná, Brasil. A UNILA, sede do evento, é uma universidade temática criada em 2010 pelo governo federal do Brasil com a missão institucional de formar recursos humanos aptos a contribuir com a integra- ção latino-americana, com o desenvolvimento regional e com o intercâmbio cultural, científico e educacional da América Latina, especialmente no MERCOSUL. Sua finalidade, portanto, é conver- ter-se em um espaço de encontros, de trocas e de aprendizagem mútua, que reforçam o compro- misso em prol da pertinência, da excelência e da construção sustentável de um mundo melhor.Desde hace más de una década, la Universidad Nacional de San Juan comenzó a incursionar en movilidades académicas, preferentemente estudiantiles. Con posterioridad las políticas de internacionalización se fueron intensificando y orientado hacia acciones en el interior de la Universidad. La institución en su conjunto tuvo que ir ajustando su estructura organizacional y normativa, modificando y afectando paulatinamente las diversas áreas en una dinámica transversal que viabilizaba la ejecución administrativa de este proceso. En el 2014 se da un paso importante en la planeación y puesta en marcha de las políticas de internacionalización con la creación de la Secretaria de Posgrado y Relaciones Internacionales y si bien la movilidad internacional sigue siendo fundamental en los procesos de internacionalización de las instituciones de educación superior (IES), en la actualidad esta noción se ha vuelto mucho más amplia en este ámbito.Núcleo de Estudios e Investigaciones en Educación Superior del Mercosur - NUCLEO Grupo Interdisciplinar de Pesquisa em Educação na América Latina – EducAL/UNILA Instituto Mercosul de Estudos Avançados – IMEA/UNILA Pró-Reitoria de Relações Institucionais e Internacionais – PROINT/UNIL

En algunas Universidades Públicas de Argentina ocurrió en forma espontánea, al margen de toda planificación y como consecuencia de acciones aisladas producidas a partir de gestiones realizadas por docentes e investigadores de algunas unidades académicas y científicas, en el marco de los diferentes Programas de Cooperación Internacional. Pero en la mayoría de ellas fue a raíz de la participación en Programas patrocinados por organismos nacionales e internacionales. Estos procesos de internacionalización, sin embargo, se ven afectados por múltiples circunstancias que transcurren tanto en los ámbitos internos de la institución, como en el entorno nacional e internacional, que van condicionando su desarrollo.Núcleo de Estudios e Investigaciones en Educación Superior del Mercosur - NUCLEO Grupo Interdisciplinar de Pesquisa em Educação na América Latina – EducAL/UNILA Instituto Mercosul de Estudos Avançados – IMEA/UNILA Pró-Reitoria de Relações Institucionais e Internacionais – PROINT/UNIL

Organizational Factors that Affect the University-Industry Technology Transfer Processes of a Private University

This case study researched organizational factors that affect the university-industry technology transfer (UITT) processes of a private university, chosen by its success and uniqueness in the Brazilian context. Stood out as factors: innovation among pillars of management; valuing of research and intellectual property; qualified students, teachers and managers; multidisciplinary research groups; stability of governing body; performance of the TTO, Technology Management Agency and Technology Park. Difficulties highlighted were: reconciliation of time between activities of professors-researchers, bureaucracy and centralization of administrative and legal support; valuation of research results; approach and negotiation with companies. Among suggestions are: granting greater independence to the structures in charge of UITT and making them self-sustainable; training agents in technology marketing, sale, and negotiation skills
