Measuring and linking social network knowledge exchange and organisational performance

[EN] This paper deals with how to measure social network knowledge exchange and its link with organisational performance. First, it revises both social network analysis and performance measurement techniques, highlighting the main performance elements that may be used. Then, it categorises the main social knowledge network working levels and components from a performance management perspective. It presents the main dimensions of social knowledge networks (actors, knowledge exchange and performance elements) from the performance management point of view. Last but not least, it describes and categorises the main techniques that could be used in order to determine the current and future position inside the social knowledge network (Data Envelopment Analysis). It also emphases the characteristics and pitfalls of the subjective (Analytic Network Processes) and objective techniques (multivariate models), that tend to be used when analyzing the link between social network knowledge exchange and organisational performance.The research reported in this paper is supported by the European Commission for the project “Engaging in Knowledge Networking via an interactive 3D social Supplier Network (KNOWNET)” (FP7-PEOPLE-2013-IAPP 324408)”Rodríguez Rodríguez, R.; Mula, J.; Gómez-Gasquet, P.; Leon, R.

Social network analysis: A tool for evaluating and predicting future knowledge flows from an insurance organization

[EN] The paper aims to identify the individuals who influence the knowledge sharing processes from an internal social network and to forecast the future knowledge flows that may cross it. Exploratory research is employed, and a four-phase methodology is developed which combines a social network analysis with structural modeling. This is applied to the internal enterprise social network used by a British insurance company. The main results emphasize the most influential groups, their relationships, future knowledge flows, and the connection between the network's heterogeneity and structure, and employees' future knowledge sharing intention. These findings have both theoretical and practical implications. The theory is extended by proving that a social network analysis can be used as a tool for evaluating and predicting future knowledge flows. At the same time, a solution is offered to decision-makers so they will be able to: (i) identify the potential knowledge loss; (ii) determine leaders; (iii) establish who is going to act as a knowledge diffuser, by sharing what they know with their coworkers, and who is going to act as a knowledge repository, by focusing on acquiring increasingly more knowledge; (iv) identify the elements that influence employees' future knowledge sharing intention.

A model to enable indirect manufacturing options transactions between organisations: An application to the ceramic industry

En los contextos actuales de competitividad es ampliamente aceptado y probado que la colaboración entre empresas conduce muchas veces a mejores resultados. Además, la industria cerámica española debe mejorar y reducir los costes de sus procesos de fabricación para así poder competir con los productos de menor coste que provienen principalmente de países asiáticos. En este sentido, este trabajo presenta los resultados de aplicar un modelo innovador para facilitar el trasvase indirecto de opciones de fabricación entre dos empresas fabricantes cerámicas competidoras que comparten un mismo proveedor de productos, cuando una de ellas necesita más capacidad de fabricación de la que reservó en base a sus previsiones de demanda y la otra tiene un excedente. Así, se desarrollan una serie de mecanismos decisionales los cuales proporcionan los valores que deben tomar ciertos parámetros para aumentar el beneficio de todos los participantes en el proceso. Dichos parámetros están gobernados por el proveedor común de esmaltes, quien juega el rol de intermediario entre los fabricantes cerámicos y quien determina hasta qué punto es beneficioso el trasvase y bajo qué condiciones debe realizarse el mismo. Con la aplicación de este modelo se alcanzan mejores resultados empresariales tanto económicos como de nivel de servicio.In the current competitive contexts, it is widely accepted and proved that inter-enterprise collaboration lead in many occasions to better results. The Spanish ceramic industry must improve, dropping its manufacturing costs in order to be able to compete with low cost products coming from Asia. In this sense, this work presents the main results obtained from applying an innovative model, which facilitates the transfer of manufacturing options between two ceramic enterprises that share a common supplier in the scenario where one of them needs more manufacturing capacity than the one booked according to its demand forecast and the another need less. Then, some decisional mechanisms are applied, which output the values for certain parameters in order to augment the benefit of all the three participants. With the application of this model better organisational results both economic and of service level are achievedRodríguez Rodríguez, R.; Gómez-Gasquet, P.; Oltra Badenes, RF. (2014).

Trajectory optimization for exposure to minimal electromagnetic pollution using genetic algorithms approach: A case study

Low-frequency electromagnetic pollution associated with electricity supplies and electrical appliances creates broad and specific challenges. Among them, knowing the values of this pollution in urban areas to prevent long exposure in the daily life human beings is rising in today's information society. This paper presents a comprehensive approach for, first, mapping electromagnetic pollution of complete urban areas and, second, based on the former data, the trajectories planning of commuting with minimal electromagnetic exposure. In the first stage, the proposed approach reduces the number of necessary measurements for the pollution mapping, estimating their value by optimizing functional criteria using genetic algorithms (GAs) and considering the superposition effect of different sources. In the second stage, a combination of a specifically designed search space and GA as optimization algorithm makes it possible to determine an optimized trajectory that represents a balanced solution between distance and exposure to magnetic fields. The results verify the obtaining of a complete mapping with less error, between 1% and 2.5%, in power lines and medium/low voltage (MV/LV) substations, respectively. The proposed approach obtains optimized trajectories for different types of commuting (pedestrians, bikers, and vehicles), and it can be integrated into mobile applications. Finally, the method was tested on an actual urban area in Malaga (Spain).Financing for open access position: University of Malaga / CBUA

A methodology to assess the generic competence "Analysis and Problem solving" in master degree

[EN] The Universitat Politecnica de Valencia (UPV) has considered the development and assessment of generic competences in the curricula of its undergraduate and graduate degrees. Specifically, thirteen generic competences have been defined and introduced within all the curricula. These generic competences are to be assessed within the specific activities developed through the courses. For that purpose, the UPV has designed an institutional project called "UPV transversal competences" in order to guide the general implementation of the generic competencies in the degrees. This paper emerges from the work developed within a specific educational project designed in coherence with the institutional UPV project that studies the "analysis and problem solving" competence in master degree. Instructors have experience in the assessment and development of specific competences but, most of them, still need tools that aid to assess the degree of development of generic competences due to its novelty in the curricula. In order to fill this gap, this paper presents a structured methodology to design and develop assessment procedures and instruments of the "analysis and problem solving" generic competence. This methodology has been applied during the academic year 2015-2016 to assess the "analysis and problem solving" competence in the "Technologies and Software Applications for Supply Chain Management" course which belongs to the Master in Advanced Engineering Production, Logistics and Supply Chain at the Higher Technical School of Industrial Engineering. This paper discusses main results and conclusions obtained from the application. These results are of two types: results of the assessment of the specific competence in the course and results of the questionnaire passed to the students to know their point of view regarding the whole experience.This work has been developed within the research project called "Assessment of UPV generic competence "problem analysis and resolution" in master students" (Ref.: PIME-A7-15) funded by the Vice-Rectorate for Studies, Quality and Accreditation at Universitat Politecnica de Valencia.Verdecho Sáez, MJ.; Gómez-Gasquet, P.; Rodríguez Rodríguez, R.; Alfaro Saiz, JJ.

An assessment framework for the "Oral effective communication" competence

[EN] In the last years, there is an increasing interest in the manner that generic or also called transversal competences (TC) are introduced in the programs. Transversal competences are generic and relevant skills that students have to develop while they are studying the different years of the program. These generic competences are to be assessed within the specific activities developed within the courses. For that purpose, the Universitat Politècnica Valencia (UPV) has designed an internal educational project called "UPV transversal competences" in order to support the general aim of the generic competencies assessment in the degrees. In this line, the UPV has granted various innovative educational projects that provide the assessment and collection of evidences on TC. This paper comes from the work of one innovative educational projects and, deals with the case of the assessment of the "effective communication" TC. The main purpose of this work is to present an assessment framework for the effective communication competence in postgraduate programmes at the UPV as well as describe a pilot application. This paper presents both the educational experience and main results obtained.This work has been developed within the research project called ¿Use of software applications for training and assessing the UPV transversal competence ¿effective communication¿ in bachelor and master¿ (Ref. PIME-A16-16) funded by the Vice-Rectorate for Studies, Quality and Accreditation at Universitat Politècnica de València.Gómez-Gasquet, P.; Verdecho Sáez, MJ.; Alfaro Saiz, JJ.; Rodríguez Rodríguez, R.

A methodology to increase the level of the "Effective communication" competence in Master degree

[EN] One of the main objectives of the competences evaluation program in universities is to increase the level that their students have in these competences. There are descriptive guides recommending procedures for assessing these competencies and also to collect evidence of such assessments that help to evaluate the progress made. However, it is not so common to use active methodologies to guide this process from a practical and systemic point of view. This paper describes a methodology that helps to increase the level of competence "effective communication" in its oral dimension focused on the master students. The methodology consists of a series of phases that allow improving step by step and incrementally the level of competence acquired. It also describes the recommended assessment procedure to assess the progress and the set of associated actions that the student must follow to improve the competence. The methodology is designed to allow an individualized monitoring of the progress of each student based on the predefined objectives and takes into account their initial level. The methodology will be applied during the next academic year in a course of the master in Advanced Engineering Production, Logistics and Supply Chain at the Higher Technical School of Industrial Engineering (Universitat Politècnica de València).This work has been developed within the research project called ¿Use of software applications for training and assessing the UPV transversal competence ¿effective communication¿ in bachelor and master¿ (Ref.

An assessment instrument for the "Analysis and Problem solving" competence: context and results

[EN] In the last years, there is an increasing interest in the manner that transversal competences (TC) are introduced in the curricula. Transversal competences are generic and relevant skills that students have to develop through the several stages of the educational degrees. This paper explain the context of TC in Higher Studies at the Universitat Politecnica de Valencia (UPV), Spain, where several working groups have been established in the last three years in order to improve the way both Technical Schools and lecturers/professors teach and assess the degree of development of transversal competences (TC) in students. The UPV has promoted to grant various innovative educational projects that contribute to improve the assessment and collection of evidences on TC. This paper emerges from the work developed in one of these innovative educational projects and presents the experience related to the assessment of the TC "analysis and problem solving". The main aim of this paper is to analyse the assessment of analysis and problem solving in the context of postgraduate programmes at the UPV and, according to them, to develop and apply an assessment instrument. The developed assessment instrument comprises the relevant indicators to assess the students written communication competency. It has been applied to evaluate the assignments of students in the course named "Production planning and scheduling in distributed environments", which belongs to the Master Degree in Advanced Engineering Production, Logistics and Supply Chain at the UPV. This paper presents both the educational experience and main results obtained.This work has been developed within the research project called "Assessment of UPV generic competence "problem analysis and resolution" in master students" (Ref.: PIME-A7-15) funded by the Vice-Rectorate for Studies, Quality and Acreditation at Universitat Politecnica de Valencia.Gómez-Gasquet, P.; Verdecho Sáez, MJ.; Rodríguez Rodríguez, R.; Alfaro Saiz, JJ.

Evaluating the analysis and problem solving competence at master context with a weighted approach

[EN] This paper presents the main results of measuring whether and to what extent the transversal competence called ¿Analysis and problem solving¿ has been achieved in a Higher Education Master Degree course being taught at the Universitat Politècnica de València in Valencia, Spain. This course is named ¿Performance Management System¿ and counted with 27 students during the academic year 2015-2016. Such a university has encouraged in the last years the development of different innovative educational projects in order to improve the quality of teaching. Additionally, these educational projects focus on specific transversal competences to be improved. The evaluation of the acquisition of the competence under study in this paper was made under a group approach. In order to evaluate the acquisition of such a competence from the different groups formed, some performance indicators, grouped into attributes of performance, were applied. Since not all of these indicators had the same importance when evaluating the acquisition of the competence, a weighted approach was used. This performance tool, formed by performance attributes and performance indicators, was applied in different moments during the course in order to better evaluate the degree of achievement of the competence. The main results show the homogeneity/heterogeneity degrees from the different groups regarding the level of achievement of the ¿Analysis and problem solving¿ competence.This work has been developed within the research project called “Assessment of UPV generic competence “problem analysis and resolution” in master students” (Ref.: PIME-A7-15) funded by the Vice-Rectorate for Studies, Quality and Acreditation at Universitat Politècnica de València.Rodríguez Rodríguez, R.; Verdecho Sáez, MJ.; Gómez-Gasquet, P.; Alfaro Saiz, JJ.
