We must enhance the effectiveness ofland stewardship and management of the world's natural resources to meet a growing global population's need for conservation, sustainable development, and use of land, water, and other natural resources. Ecosystem-based, multiple-use land stewardship is necessary when considering the present and future uses ofland, water, and other natural resources on an operationally efficient scale. We need holistically planned and carefully implemented watershed management practices, projects, and programs to accommodate the increasing demand for commodities and amenities, clear water, open space, and uncluttered landscapes.An international conference in Tucson, Arizona, from March 13 to 16, 2000, examined these needs and increased people's awareness of the contributions that ecosystem-based, multiple-use watershed management can make to future land stewardship. The conference was sponsored by the
An international conference to increase people's awareness of the contributions that watershed management can make to future land stewardship was held in Tucson, Arizona, March 13-16, 2000. This bibliography is a compilation of the synthesis and poster papers presented at the conference along with the literature cited in these papers on watershed research projects, applied watershed management activities, and technology transfer mechanisms. This publication furnishes a literature basis for researchers, managers, decision-makers, educators, students, and lay persons with a keen interest in watershed management and better land stewardship in the future. The proceedings from this conference, entitled "Land Stewardship in the 21st Century: The Contributions of Watershed Management," may be found on the Rocky Mountain Research Station's World Wide Web pages at www.fs.fed.us/rm/pubs/stewardship.html.
La dinámica de los mercados en la actualidad sufre cambios contantemente creando la necesidad en las organizaciones de buscar estrategias que las permitan innovar, generar competitividad y contribuyan a su permanecía en el mercado a lo largo del tiempo. En este contexto la inversión en tecnología no es la única forma de innovar, el conocimiento se ha convertido en el activo más importante dentro de la gestión empresarial, por lo tanto, es el encargado de crear, detectar, transformar ese conocimiento y utilizarlo en función de sus necesidades. Por ello se plantea el objetivo de analizar la gestión del conocimiento como una estrategia de innovación en las empresas de la industria manufacturera en la ciudad de Machala. Se aplicó un estudio con enfoque cuantitativo, investigación exploratoria y correlacional. Se encuestaron a 38 empresas pertenecientes al sector manufacturero. Se utilizó el coeficiente de correlación y regresión para el análisis, los resultados fueron positivos para la relación de las variables gestión conocimiento e innovación. Finalmente, la gestión del conocimiento y la innovación persiguen generar beneficios a la empresa, transformando el conocimiento en valor, creando nuevos productos o servicios o mejorando sus procesos, con el fin de lograr su permanencia en el mercado.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
