This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Las relaciones con los grupos de interés son un factor fundamental para el éxito empresarial, lo que ha convertido a la Responsabilidad Social Empresarial (RSE) en un recurso intangible de enorme trascendencia para cualquier tipo de organización. Es por eso que las empresas más reputadas del mundo están incorporado el concepto de RSE en su cultura organizacional. Pero, ¿es la Universidad un entorno apropiado para el desarrollo de la Responsabilidad Social?, ¿es posible cuantificar el compromiso de las universidades con la sociedad? En este último caso, ¿qué indicadores e instrumentos de medición podrían ser planteados para evaluar el impacto de los programas de Responsabilidad Social en las universidades? Encontrar una respuesta a estas cuestiones constituye el objeto general del presente trabajo. Para alcanzarlo, primero se efectuará una revisión de la literatura existente sobre la RSC, para luego delimitar teóricamente el concepto de Responsabilidad Social Universitaria (RSU) y, finalmente, proponer y aplicar un instrumento para su evaluación. Específicamente, sobre la base teórica de la gestión de impactos, el presente estudio propone un modelo de evaluación de la RSU que va a considerar seis dimensiones -Gestión, Docencia, Investigación, Vinculación Social, Gestión Medioambiental y Comunicación y Transparencia-, definiendo tres indicadores para cada una de estas dimensiones, a fin de realizar una primera aproximación al compromiso adquirido actualmente con la RSU por las universidades públicas de Castilla y León. Palabras clave: Responsabilidad Social Empresarial (RSE), Responsabilidad Social Universitaria (RSU), Stakeholders, Evaluación.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uno de los mayores problemas para la evaluación de la RSU y la publicación de memorias es la amplia variedad de instrumentos empleados, debido al hecho de que las Instituciones de Educación Superior no cuentan una guía específica para ello. Surge la necesidad de identificar unos indicadores que faciliten la correcta evaluación de las actuaciones en materia de responsabilidad que desarrolla la universidad, así como el impacto que genera en la sociedad y el entorno fortaleciendo todas aquellas actividades cuyos impactos sean positivos y replanteando aquellas otras cuyos impactos no sean los deseados. Precisamos herramientas útiles que nos permitan evaluar esas acciones facilitando el correspondiente informe que permita rendir cuentas ante los grupos de interés, planteando estrategias de mejora. Proponemos un Modelo de Validación de seis dimensiones agrupando los posibles impactos positivos generados por las misiones de la universidad permitiendo conocer la contribución que realiza la universidad a cada uno de los ODS. Por otro lado, vinculamos los posibles impactos negativos a la guía y principios de GRI Estándar y Pacto Mundial para ser identificados y contrarrestados.

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En los últimos años, la Responsabilidad Social ha ido evolucionando hasta llegar a ser una pieza clave en el mundo empresarial, debido a una mayor conciencia por parte de la sociedad. Hoy en día, las empresas ya no pueden basarse sólo en la búsqueda de su propio beneficio, sino que deben realizar estrategias socialmente responsables, es decir,actuaciones en los ámbitos social, económico y medioambiental, para así poder ser competitivas en el contexto actual. Pero este aumento del interés en la Responsabilidad Social ha supuesto que deje de ser exigida exclusivamente a las empresas para extenderse a las Administraciones Públicas en general y a las universidades en particular. Ahora bien, hay diferencias significativas en la aplicación de la Responsabilidad Social en las empresas y universidades. En este trabajo, tras aclarar qué se entiende por Responsabilidad Social Universitaria,se analiza por qué la Universidaddebe ser socialmente responsable, de qué forma y cómo debe comunicar estas acciones a sus stakeholders, y se revisan los escasos indicadores existentes para su evaluación en el ámbito de las instituciones de Educación Superior. Tras efectuar dicha revisión, finalmente realiza una propuesta propia para medir la Responsabilidad Social Universitaria, que posteriormente se aplica para realizar una comparativa entre el compromiso social de la Universidad de León y el de la Universidad de Santiago de Compostela. El objetivo es obtener una primera aproximación a la situación relativa de nuestra universidaden materia de Responsabilidad Social Universitaria, dado que la Universidad de Santiago es la pionera a este respecto en el Sistema Universitario Español. Palabras clave: Responsabilidad Social Universitaria, Stakeholders, Sociedad, Impactos de la Universidad, Evaluación de la Responsabilidad Social Universitaria.

Download or read book The Research System in Transition written by Susan E. Cozzens and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a mountainside in sunny Tuscany, in October 1989, 96 people from 23 countries on five continents gathered to learn and teach about the problems of managing contemporary science. The diversity of economic and political systems represented in the group was matched by our occupations, which stretched from science policy practitioners, through research scientists and engineers, through academic observers of science and science policy. It was this diversity, along with the opportunities for infonnal discussion provided by long meals and remote location, that made the conference a special learning experience. Except at lecture time, it was impossible to distinguish the "students" at this event from the "teachers," and even the most senior members of the teaching staff went away with a sense that they had learned more from this group than from many a standard conference on science policy they had attended. The flavor of the conference experience cannot be captured adequately in a proceedings volume, and so we have not tried to create a historical record in this book. Instead, we have attempted to illustrate the core problems the panicipants at the conference shared, discussed, and debated, using both lectures delivered by the fonnal teaching staff and summaries of panel discussions, which extended to other panicipants and therefore increased the range of experiences reponed.

Download or read book Making Medicines Affordable written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thanks to remarkable advances in modern health care attributable to science, engineering, and medicine, it is now possible to cure or manage illnesses that were long deemed untreatable. At the same time, however, the United States is facing the vexing challenge of a seemingly uncontrolled rise in the cost of health care. Total medical expenditures are rapidly approaching 20 percent of the gross domestic product and are crowding out other priorities of national importance. The use of increasingly expensive prescription drugs is a significant part of this problem, making the cost of biopharmaceuticals a serious national concern with broad political implications. Especially with the highly visible and very large price increases for prescription drugs that have occurred in recent years, finding a way to make prescription medicinesâ€"and health care at largeâ€"more affordable for everyone has become a socioeconomic imperative. Affordability is a complex function of factors, including not just the prices of the drugs themselves, but also the details of an individual's insurance coverage and the number of medical conditions that an individual or family confronts. Therefore, any solution to the affordability issue will require considering all of these factors together. The current high and increasing costs of prescription drugsâ€"coupled with the broader trends in overall health care costsâ€"is unsustainable to society as a whole. Making Medicines Affordable examines patient access to affordable and effective therapies, with emphasis on drug pricing, inflation in the cost of drugs, and insurance design. This report explores structural and policy factors influencing drug pricing, drug access programs, the emerging role of comparative effectiveness assessments in payment policies, changing finances of medical practice with regard to drug costs and reimbursement, and measures to prevent drug shortages and foster continued innovation in drug development. It makes recommendations for policy actions that could address drug price trends, improve patient access to affordable and effective treatments, and encourage innovations that address significant needs in health care.
Download or read book Exile and Cultural Hegemony written by Sebastiaan Faber and published by Vanderbilt University Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After Francisco Franco's victory in the Spanish Civil War, a great many of the country's intellectuals went into exile in Mexico. During the three and a half decades of Francoist dictatorship, these exiles held that the Republic, not Francoism, represented the authentic culture of Spain. In this environment, as Sebastiaan Faber argues in Exile and Cultural Hegemony, the Spaniards' conception of their role as intellectuals changed markedly over time. The first study of its kind to place the exiles' ideological evolution in a broad historical context, Exile and Cultural Hegemony takes into account developments in both Spanish and Mexican politics from the early 1930s through the 1970s. Faber pays particular attention to the intellectuals' persistent nationalism and misplaced illusions of pan-Hispanist grandeur, which included awkward and ironic overlaps with the rhetoric employed by their enemies on the Francoist right. This embrace of nationalism, together with the intellectuals' dependence on the increasingly authoritarian Mexican regime and the international climate of the Cold War, eventually caused them to abandon the Gramscian ideal of the intellectual as political activist in favor of a more liberal, apolitical stance preferred by, among others, the Spanish philosopher Jose Ortega y Gasset. With its comprehensive approach to topics integral to Spanish culture, both students of and those with a general interest in twentieth-century Spanish literature, history, or culture will find Exile and Cultural Hegemony a fascinating and groundbreaking work.
