Esta obra es el resultado del trabajo investigativo desarrollado por parte de los autores a lo largo de tres años, mediante un proceso de investigación cualitativa soportado en el método de triangulación y convergencia planteado por Cerda (2011). La aplicación del método conjuga los componentes de análisis documental y de contenidos, la aplicación de instrumentos y el juicio evaluativo de expertos frente al tema de investigación. El libro se estructura en dos grandes secciones. La primera se conforma del marco teórico del conocimiento organizacional, en el cual se toman los autores más importantes a lo largo de la historia que han generado conocimiento en relación con el tema objeto de estudio, entre los cuales se puede mencionar a Sócrates, Platón, Aristóteles, Polanyi, Nonaka, Takeuchi, Dávenport, Bueno, entre otros. La segunda sección presenta la metodología, la propuesta del modelo de nivel de madurez de la gestión del conocimiento, los resultados de la investigación después de la consulta a los expertos, y por último, las conclusiones.

Esta revisión pretende conocer los mecanismos que llevan a cabo los equipos de alta dirección, y que ayudan a alcanzar la ambidiestralidad organizacional. La revisión se basa principalmente en el capital social que poseen los directivos. Este estudio extiende la comprensión de las diferentes tipologías de la ambidestreza como son la temporal, estructural y secuencial, y aborda investigaciones teóricas y empíricas que dan soporte a unos mecanismos más refinados que se logran identificar.

Cities have been affected, throughout History, by earthquakes, big fires, epidemics, and pandemics that sparked moments of reflection and change in the city form and public space quantity and quality. For example, this happened after the Great Fire of London (1666) or the Great Earthquake of Lisbon (1755). After episodes of destruction or disruption, debates and projects forge the urban answer to diminish future losses and risks. From this starting point, we discuss the impact of two distinct public health crisis -the epidemics of the 19th century and the current COVID-19 pandemic -on Lisbon's public spaces. For both periods, we analyze primary sources -strategies, plans, projects, and papers -designed by Lisbon City Council and that depict the ideas and tactics to tackle the urban challenges imposed by the public health crises. With this research, we discuss the impact of public health crises on public spaces policies design through two particular examples in Lisbon, from the 19th century and the current days. Furthermore, we question if these crises served, to any extent, the intentions to qualify public places and introduce a new form and image on Lisbon public spaces. THE SANITARIAN CRISIS AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE PUBLIC URBAN SPACEEpidemics cause radical changes in people's lives. They follow each other with more or less impact, changing the behavior of the individuals subject to them. Observing the main epidemics that have occurred since the 19th century and the deaths resulting from them, it is important to highlight the effects of the Cholera outbreak and Yellow Fever (1856-1857), HIV / AIDS (1981) and, recently, the COVID-19 (2019) Pandemic.The high density of inhabitants and activities in a limited space represents one of the main challenges for urban areas that are affected by viruses. During the early stages of the of the Covid-19 spread in Europe, several implications for urban planning were noted. Data on the spread of this pandemic shows that urban areas are significantly affected by Covid-19 (90% of cases were identified in urban areas) [1]. In Portugal there are records that show that: "the diffusion process started in the densest urban areas, followed by the frontier areas and, later, spreading to the territories of lesser demographic density and higher age" [2].As during the mid-nineteenth century, in the coming decades we will see an increase in urban centers: "for example, major urban centers such as Wuhan and Paris are shooting upward of 11 million dwellers. By 2050 there are projected to be 43 such megacities, and more than two-thirds of the global population could be living in urban areas." [3](p. 317). The people's choice to live in large urban centers has harmful consequences when epidemics occur. Housing density is virus-friendly. However, having more people in less space does not necessarily mean more risk. The transmission of epidemics thus occurs more intensely in urban spaces, because they are normally dependent on trade routes [4]. Added to the problem of population density is...
