“…In addition, the few studies focused in universities mainly offer theoretical insights (Asma and Abdellatif, 2016]) coming from case studies. Although these cases highlight the importance of the KM dimensions (Singh and Sharma, 2011]), the collaboration networks (Ronda-Pupo and Guerras-Martin, 2016]; Tan, 2016]; Fari and Ocholla, 2015]), the impact of IT-based KM intervention (Ranjan et al, 2012]; Branco et al, 2015]) or the use of data mining (Hegazi et al, 2016]), it is difficult to extrapolate through these outcomes the cause-effect relations existing between IT solutions for SKM and universities' performance in a specific country. Furthermore, these studies analyse a reduced group of universities (Branco et al, 2015]; Fari and Ocholla, 2015]; Singh and Sharma, 2011]; Ranjan et al, 2012]) or only deal with a single component of SKM (Hegazi et al, 2016]; Fari and Ocholla, 2015]; Ronda-Pupo and Guerras-Martin, 2016]; Tan, 2016]) which limits the understanding of the relation, SKM-universities' performance.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between the availability and use of IT solutions for strategic knowledge management (SKM) and the universities’ performance, measured in terms of scientific production. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on the resource-based view (RBV) and the knowledge-based theory, the authors develop a conceptual framework for exploring the effect of SKM based on IT on the organisation’s performance that they empirically test by applying panel data methodology to a sample of 70 Spanish universities over the period 2011-2014. Findings The authors confirm that the SKM based on IT influences the university’s performance. This effect is positive in the case of the IT solutions referred to the infrastructure of data grouping and more evident when the university’s performance is measured by indicators more directly related to scientific quality. Contrary to expected, the percentage of training and research staff that uses institutional tools of collaborative work is negatively related with the universities’ capacity of publication. Practical implications The authors followed the system dynamics approach to identify a causal diagram and a flow sequence that lets them group universities in three different profiles in the knowledge management (KM) flow diagram. Originality/value First, the authors develop a conceptual framework for exploring the effect of SKM based on IT on the organisation’s performance that could be applicable to analyse the case of other knowledge-driven organisations. Second, in contrast with the large number of studies dealing with SKM and performance focused on firms, the authors analyse universities. Third, the authors’ empirical approach used the panel data methodology with a large sample of universities over the period 2011-2014.

“…To achieve this goal, the Services of Information and Communication (SIC) of the University of Tras-os-Montes and Alto Douro (UTAD) were used. Due to the introduction of this decision support system, the SIC / UTAD have increased their ability to make more grounded and informed decisions, optimizing and thereby more efficiently managing the UTAD IT infrastructure (Branco et al, 2015).…”

Digitalization and transition to a new technological structure bring humanity to another level of development. The changing technological structures, industry and society progress, enhance the importance of improving the university development model. The existing management system and infrastructure in universities are often outdated and unable to ensure their competitive and adequate functioning. Hence, the need to improve the processes of using the university infrastructure through digital technology. The composition and range of the resources should also be reviewed and supplemented with new components.The purpose of this work is to reveal the principles and requirements for improving the university infrastructure using digital technology.The methodology is based on modeling the university management system, with the concept of infrastructure logic as a core, meant to include new elements in the university management infrastructure: university stakeholders, cultural values, investments and translation.The management model transformation implies a transition from structural to infrastructural approach, from infrastructure management to managing the infrastructure logic. The digital network platform incorporating the information on all the infrastructure facilities, their status, will provide effective user access management to each university resource.The recommendations formulated to improve the university infrastructure using digital technology will make higher education more effective.

Organizations of the agro-industrial sector, are now increasingly investing in the development of technological systems that allow the computerization of all its processes. Recently the methods and techniques of computer vision have been widely used for monitoring and inspection during the production and harvesting, allowing detect problems early and thus, improve the quality of products. In the field of mushroom production one of the most important aspects, and perhaps most prevalent, is to be able to predict its production. To this end it is proposed an Intelligent System Mushroom Harvest Forecast (SIPCC), based on techniques and methods of computer vision and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). This paper presents an architecture of a SIPCC functional and technical level, complemented with the analysis and presentation of data demonstrating its viability.
