This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En la actualidad, el concepto de Responsabilidad Social Corporativa (RSC) ha pasado a ser un elemento cada vez más importante en el entorno de los negocios. Dado que se refiere al conjunto de iniciativas que las empresas privadas realizan voluntariamente para mejorar el impacto económico, social y medioambiental de su actividad, parece lógico pensar que su actuación resulta más necesaria que nunca. Pero, ¿es éste un concepto sólo aplicable a las empresas? ¿cambiaría algo si quién lo aplica no es una empresa, sino una universidad? En este último caso, ¿qué connotaciones tiene la Responsabilidad Social Universitaria (RSU)? En este trabajo se trata de profundizar en esta nueva visión de la responsabilidad social desde la perspectiva de la Universidad, la cual ha sido poco estudiada hasta la fecha. Para ello, primero se efectuará una revisión de la literatura sobre la RSC en cualquier organización y, posteriormente, se estudiarán las singularidades de la RSU. Finalmente, para conocer el alcance de esta nueva perspectiva, se analizará desde el punto de vista empírico la RSU en las universidades españolas, tanto en términos de su compromiso social como de la transferencia de conocimiento que realizan a la sociedad. Palabras clave: RSC, Responsabilidad social universitaria, Universidades españolas, Compromiso social, Transferencia de conocimiento.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tal vez estamos en un momento único. El pasado ya no es lo que decían que era y el futuro todavía sólo constituye una esperanza de nuevos caminos de libertad y justicia. Sin duda, la ocasión apropiada para que las universidades redescubran el núcleo de su misión y de su mejor aportación a la sociedad: pensar y repensar de forma autónoma y crítica. En tal contexto, la presente obra presenta un conjunto de reflexiones y de experiencias en torno a la responsabilidad social universitaria, entendida en una múltiple dimensión: un gobierno plural y participativo en la adopción de decisiones; una administración socialmente efectiva y eficiente de los recursos disponibles; unas enseñanzas impregnadas por valores personales, profesionales y ciudadanos que favorezcan un comportamiento ético, un conducta inclusiva de los otros y una vinculación solidaria con los intereses generales, todo ello al servicio de una sociedad más justa; una investigación y transferencia de conocimientos interesada en cooperar para la resolución de las carencias y limitaciones observadas en la comunidad local y en el entorno más lejano; finalmente, un compromiso para promover la cultura y la práctica del desarrollo sostenible, donde la globalización solidaria entre las actuales generaciones vaya de la mano con el respeto de las necesidades y la calidad de vida de quienes algún día heredarán este planeta.

Download or read book University and School Collaborations During a Pandemic written by Fernando M. Reimers and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on twenty case studies of universities worldwide, and on a survey administered to leaders in 101 universities, this open access book shows that, amidst the significant challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, universities found ways to engage with schools to support them in sustaining educational opportunity. In doing so, they generated considerable innovation, which reinforced the integration of the research and outreach functions of the university. The evidence suggests that universities are indeed open systems, in interaction with their environment, able to discover changes that can influence them and to change in response to those changes. They are also able, in the success of their efforts to mitigate the educational impact of the pandemic, to create better futures, as the result of the innovations they can generate. This challenges the view of universities as "ivory towers" being isolated from the surrounding environment and detached from local problems. As they reached out to schools, universities not only generated clear and valuable innovations to sustain educational opportunity and to improve it, this process also contributed to transform internal university processes in ways that enhanced their own ability to deliver on the third mission of outreach
Download or read book Engaging People in Sustainability written by Daniella Tilbury and published by IUCN. This book was released on 2004 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is based on the exchange of professional experiences which featured in an IUCN CEC workshop in August 2002. Practitioners from around the world shared their models of good practice and explored the challenges involved in engaging people in sustainability. The difficulties facing practitioners vary between country and context but some challenges are universal: A lack of clarity in communicating what is meant by sustainable development; An ambition to educate everyone to bring about a global citizenship; Social, organisational or institutional factors constrain change to sustainable development, yet there is an emphasis on formal education, and community educators do not receive the same support; A lack of balance in addressing the integration of environmental, social and economic dimensions leading to an interpretation that ESD is mainly about environment and conservation issues; New learning (rather than teaching) approaches are called for to promote more debate in society. Yet, few are trained or experienced in these new approaches. Practitioners need support to explore new ways of promoting learning. [Foreword, ed].
Download or read book The North American Mosaic written by Commission for Environmental Cooperation (Montréal, Québec). Secretariat and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

Download or read book Argumentation Communication and Fallacies written by Frans H. van Eemeren and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-22 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume gives a theoretical account of the problem of analyzing and evaluating argumentative discourse. After placing argumentation in a communicative perspective, and then discussing the fallacies that occur when certain rules of communication are violated, the authors offer an alternative to both the linguistically-inspired descriptive and logically-inspired normative approaches to argumentation. The authors characterize argumentation as a complex speech act in a critical discussion aimed at resolving a difference of opinion. The various stages of a critical discussion are outlined, and the communicative and interactional aspects of the speech acts performed in resolving a simple or complex dispute are discussed. After dealing with crucial aspects of analysis and linking the evaluation of argumentative discourse to the analysis, the authors identify the fallacies that can occur at various stages of discussion. Their general aim is to elucidate their own pragma- dialectical perspective on the analysis and evaluation of argumentative discourse, bringing together pragmatic insight concerning speech acts and dialectical insight concerning critical discussion.

Download or read book World Anthropologies written by Gustavo Lins Ribeiro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-13 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West. In an age of heightened globalization, anthropologists have failed to discuss consistently the current status of their practice and its mutations across the globe. World Anthropologies is the first book to provoke this conversation from various regions of the world in order to assess the diversity of relations between regional or national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western discourse. Can a planetary anthropology cope with both the 'provincial cosmopolitanism' of alternative anthropologies and the 'metropolitan provincialism' of hegemonic schools? How might the resulting 'world anthropologies' challenge the current panorama in which certain allegedly national anthropological traditions have more paradigmatic weight - and hence more power - than others? Critically examining the international dissemination of anthropology within and across national power fields, contributors address these questions and provide the outline for a veritable world anthropologies project.
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.
