Chapada Diamantina is a wide area in the center of the Brazilian state of Bahia with nearly 50,000 square kilometers. The homonym Chapada Diamantina National Park (CDNP) has 1,520 square kilometers and is an important Brazilian natural reserve. In this book, we present the results of seven years of researches developed by the staff of the CDNP. These researches were focused on analysis of botanical and ecological aspects of three traditional human communities, two of them in the interior of the CDNP (Vale do Pati and Garapa – Roncador) and another in its surroundings (Comunidade Quilombola de Corcovado). The results will help the formation of coexistence agreements (“termos de compromisso”, according to Brazilian laws), which can be used by CDNP the governing body to regulate the management of the areas occupied by communities of Pati Valley and Garapa-Roncador. In addition, the results will be used by the quilombo of Corcovado to plan the extraction of plant resources necessary for its maintenance. The surveys were conducted with the support of several partner organizations and many employees who sign the chapters of this book.

Cross-organizational knowledge acquisition through flexible hiring and joint R&D: Insights from a su...

July 2008 · Expert Systems with Applications

In this paper, we suggest that flexible hiring and joint research and development are two ways to acquire outside knowledge resources, which facilitate inter-organizational knowledge sharing and enable firms to overcome the constraints of internalized knowledge search in their innovation processes. We conducted a survey of 182 firms in Xi’an, China, which indicates that the majority of the ... [Show full abstract] surveyed firms have realized the importance of acquiring outside knowledge resources, and they are adopting flexible hiring policy and joint R&D strategy to make good use of outside knowledge resources. We then explore whether the two ways facilitate cross-organizational knowledge acquisition and inter-organization knowledge sharing, and hence contribute to effective innovations. We find that flexible hiring and joint R&D are effective ways to employ outside knowledge resources. Moreover, the effectiveness of innovations increases with both ways. These findings show that organizations can acquire outside knowledge resources to improve their innovations through flexible hiring and joint R&D.

Industrial Perspective on the Usefulness of Design Rationale for Software Maintenance: A Survey

October 2006

Abstract Software maintenance is widely known as ,a problematic area that may ,consume up to 80% of a software project’s resources. It has been claimed that providing an effective mechanism to access Design Rationale (DR) has ,great potential ,to ,improve software maintenance processes. However, we postulate that the first step towards exploring the potential of DR for improving software ... [Show full abstract] maintenance should be ,to gain a ,better understanding of what DR means to practitioners, how valuable they consider DR tobe and howt hey use DR. To determine the perceived usefulness of DR, we surveyed a large number of software designers. This exploratory study has discovered that practitioners recognize the importance of DR to understand existing designs and frequently use it to reason about proposed modifications. The results of this study establish that DR is perceived by practitioners to be useful and the efforts required to capture DR for the purpose ,of maintenance are worthwhile. The findings allow us to identify areas of further research on DR supportt hathave the potential toimp rove the maintenance process.

The New Deal in Services - A Challenge for Europe

October 1987 · The Service Industries Journal

Olivier Ruyssen

This article is based upon surveys on services and their development carried out by 15 European research centres, within the context of the FASTprogramme of the European Communities' Committee. After an analysis of why the question of services is the object of growing attention on the part of governments, some of the aspects analysed by FAST, such as the new technology/service interaction and the ...
