“…These factors are related with (a) the strategic planning of the firm; (b) the firm’s demand for skills, knowledge, expertise, etc. ; and (c) the internal processes for the determination of the wages (Fernández-Huerga, 2019 ). Thus, businesses are shaping the labor demand and affect the accumulation of human capital directly (on the job training) and indirectly (by affecting worker’s expectations).…”

Contrary to the traditional approaches for the evaluation of human capital, this study proposes the assessment of human capital through its qualitative characteristics (knowledge, skills, abilities, and working activities). To investigate the knowledge content density in the Greek production structure for the year 2018, the methodology followed concerns a sectoral analysis of the economy and the matching of each occupation with four knowledge items from the O*NET database. The findings indicate that the prevailing knowledge characteristics (66% of total) of the Greek production structure of 2018 concern a simple rather than sophisticated knowledge background which is reflected in the economic structure and in middle and low specialization of the workforce. This study contributes to the literature by providing an original and robust way to evaluate the knowledge content in total within the economy without being based on model forecasts but sectoral data. Furthermore, it provides policymaking insights for the intervention in specific areas of the knowledge content which could “nudge” economic growth of the existing production structure. The grounds for policymaking concern education, reskilling, and especially lifelong learning programs.

“…Se concluyó que las acciones de mercadeo desde la comunicación deben ser más estratégicas e intencionales en los diferenciales del portafolio de las instituciones y, al 1. INTRODUCCIÓN Ante un mundo globalizado, la educación toma un papel fundamental, pues las demandas del mercado laboral exigen competencias de diversas índoles: profesionales, comunicacionales, investigativas, en uso de tecnologías de la información y la comunicación, dominio de varios idiomas, entre otras (Fernández-Huerga, 2019). Así, la calidad de la educación, particularmente de la universitaria, toma un enfoque que busca satisfacer dichas demandas, ya que existen individuos con nuevos gustos, deseos y preferencias, y será responsabilidad de la gestión en las universidades construir portafolios con oferta de valor (James et al, 2019;Chan & Lin, 2016).…”

La gestión administrativa y académica de las organizaciones educativas ha evolucionado en la comprensión de aspectos comunicacionales que generen relacionamiento. Este estudio compara las tendencias entre las prácticas comunicacionales y las estrategias de mercadeo utilizadas en las Instituciones de Educación Superior (IES) del sector privado en Medellín-Antioquia. Para el análisis se hizo una revisión de literatura clasificada en dos fases: la primera, a partir de algunas bases de datos académicas; y la segunda, desde el análisis de las plataformas digitales de las instituciones en estudio. Los resultados arrojaron que se requieren habilidades comunicacionales que faciliten el acercamiento de las colectividades y rompan las barreras de la distancia, por lo que es importante desarrollar estrategias de mercadeo que estén vinculadas a la planeación organizacional para una acertada toma de decisiones. Se concluyó que las acciones de mercadeo desde la comunicación deben ser más estratégicas e intencionales en los diferenciales del portafolio de las instituciones y, al mismo tiempo, la oferta debe ajustarse a las necesidades del sector productivo y de la sociedad para ser competitivos.

“…In general, modern companies are interested in four group of the core competencies such as intellectual, professional, personal and interpersonal (Cichoń M., Piotrowska I., 2018). The company's strategic planning also has to be taken into account to make an analysis of labour demand (Fernández-Huerga E., 2019). The labour perspective in terms of demanding of competences is presented in different researches conducted in the relevance to various countries and fields of economy.…”
