Glass Ceilings and Ivory Towers
Even as Canadian universities suggest their gender issues have largely been resolved, many women in academia tell a different story. Systemic discrimination, the underrepresentation of women in more senior and lucrative roles, and the belief that gender-related concerns will simply self-correct with greater representation add up to a serious gender problem. Although these issues are widely acknowledged, reliable data is elusive. Glass Ceilings and Ivory Towers fills this research gap with a cross-disciplinary, data-driven investigation of gender inequality in Canadian universities. Research presented in this book reveals, for example, that women are more likely to hold sessional teaching positions and to face difficulties obtaining funding. They are also poorly represented at the upper echelons of the professoriate and must contend with a gender pay gap that widens as they move up the ranks. Contributors consider the daily grind of academic life, social, structural, and systemic challenges, and the gendered dynamics of university leadership, all with an eye to laying the groundwork for practical and meaningful institutional change.
Research Anthology on Cross-Industry Challenges of Industry 4.0
As Industry 4.0 brings on a new bout of transformation and fundamental changes in various industries, the traditional manufacturing and production methods are falling to the wayside. Industrial processes must embrace modern technology and the most recent trends to keep up with the times. With “smart factories”; the automation of information and data; and the inclusion of IoT, AI technologies, robotics, and cloud computing comes new challenges to tackle. These changes are creating new threats in security, reliability, the regulations around legislation and standardization of technologies, malfunctioning devices or operational disruptions, and more. These effects span a variety of industri...
Analyzing the Impacts of Industry 4.0 in Modern Business Environments
In order to improve competitiveness and performance, corporations must embrace advancements in digitalization. Successful implementation of knowledge management is a huge factor in corporate success. Analyzing the Impacts of Industry 4.0 in Modern Business Environments is a critical scholarly publication that explores digital transformation in business environments and the requirement for not only a substantial management change plan but equally the two essential components of knowledge management: knowledge sharing and knowledge transfer. Featuring a broad range of topics such as strategic planning, knowledge transfer, and cybersecurity risk management, this book is geared toward researchers, academicians, and students seeking current and relevant research on organizational knowledge intensity and monitoring of knowledge management development.
The Next Generation of Scientists in Africa
Young scientists are a powerful resource for change and sustainable development, as they drive innovation and knowledge creation. However, comparable findings on young scientists in various countries, especially in Africa and developing regions, are generally sparse. Therefore, empirical knowledge on the state of early-career scientists is critical in order to address current challenges faced by those scientists in Africa. This book reports on the main findings of a three-and-a-half-year international project in order to assist its readers in better understanding the African research system in general, and more specifically its young scientists. The first part of the book provides background...
La industria aeroespacial
Un análisis innovador de un tema muy poco estudiado: el desarrollo de la industria aeroespacial mexicana, una industria que, por tratarse de una compleja red de interacciones que reúne diferentes modalidades y acuerdos de colaboración entre actores económicos y gubernamentales, se debe examinar no sólo en su evolución, estructura y organización productivas, sino también en su dinámica de localización de actividades, en su relación con los gobiernos estatal y federal, y en el papel determinante que juega su integración a la economía internacional.
El paradigma de la convergencia del conocimiento
En este libro se analiza un nuevo paradigma del conocimiento basado en la creciente interacción entre diferentes disciplinas y tecnologías. Esta transformación surge con el desarrollo de la biotecnología, la nanotecnología, las tecnologías de la información y las ciencias cognitivas que dan lugar a un proceso de convergencia-divergencia, núcleo central en la nueva arquitectura del conocimiento científico y tecnológico, con profundas implicaciones para abordar la complejidad de la sociedad. Se abre un espacio de discusión y análisis sobre una perspectiva que ha orientado las políticas de innovación en múltiples países desarrollados, pero casi inexistente en la agenda de los países latinoamericanos.
Formation professionnelle et employabilité - Revue internationale d'éducation Sèvres 71 - Ebook
Comment adapter la qualité et les flux de formation professionnelle initiale aux besoins économiques ? Avec quels diplômes, quel rôle des entreprises, quel pilotage par l’État, quelle importance de la formation générale, quelle place pour l’apprentissage ? Ces questions, d’une importance cruciale dans un contexte de crise qui se traduit dans de nombreux pays par de grandes difficultés d’insertion des jeunes à la fin de la formation initiale, interpellent partout les décideurs, avec une plus ou moins grande intensité selon les contextes. Les dix études de cas proposées dans ce dossier portent sur l’Eu- rope (Italie, Allemagne, France, Pologne), l’Afrique (Maroc, Côte...
Le Québec économique 8. Le développement durable à l'ère des changements climatiques
Alors que la vaste majorité des études scientifiques insistent sur l’importance d’agir pour lutter contre les changements climatiques, il devient essentiel d’adopter des politiques publiques innovantes favorisant le développement durable. Les politiques publiques doivent aujourd’hui s’appuyer sur une conception du développement économique s’inscrivant dans une perspective à long terme et tenant compte des contraintes environnementales et sociales. Le Québec peut déjà se targuer de faire bonne figure en la matière, dans le contexte nord-américain. Il fait partie du marché du carbone, qui vise la réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre, et peut compter sur un...
