 The European Union enlargement and the necessity of a harmonious development of the Community in its whole, in a world contest more and more competitive, represent today and in the nearest future a challenge non only for Communitarian, national and regional authorities, that have to drive the new European strategy, but also for all those public and private subjects that worked since years in the area of European Programs. > Read more |

Globalization and a growing competition from the emerging economies are forcing Italy to change its pace in order to seize the opportunities offered by this new context. Archidata is working together with the public administration in this challenge, that requires a threefold effort: the internationalization of initiative, the investment in knowledge and human resources, the enhancement of sharing and partnership networks.
Internationalization: a reassessment of our models of business, through the internationalisation of initiative to promote Italian projects on a European and international scale, in the sectors of innovation, research and development, professional training, education, information society and culture. Switching from short networks to long ones: most Italian enterprises (particularly SMEs and services) are connected to one or more relationship networks, have their activities “niche”, and have their more or less specialised skills. The problem of this niche is that it is often circumscribed at a local level or, for the most, at national level. Immaterial investments (relationships and knowledge) are still limited, especially if compared with those of other subjects that operate at European level or on a larger scale; knowledge organisation doesn’t allow to benefit of a sufficient level of knowledge reuse and to extend the circuit of potential users and clients. The challenge today is to switch from short networks to long ones: a single network component can remain small, but its strategy has to build a global function within wider networks. In this way, its specialised competences are enhanced and amplified; the enterprise can reach clients that short networks don’t allow to reach; the sharing, collaborative and knowledge exchange networks get wider. Knowledge reuse. The enhancement of networks is reduced to nothing if not coupled with another key element: knowledge reusing, that allows to multiply the value of immaterial investments. A distinctive characteristic of the “new economy” and of the “knowledge society”, this is an experience with a limited diffusion throughout Italy and furthermore in contradiction with the typical configuration of Italian SMEs (also those working in advisory and services to the public administration), that use flexibility and creativity to create customised solutions, not useful for similar sectors and for short networks. As soon as the problem is solved or the project is completed, enterprises usually move immediately to another case with no time (and resources) to codify the solution (best practice) and to file it and reuse it in following projects, and then transfer it to others. Knowledge itself is not a target for investments, but can be perceived as an added value, a by-product of efficient business. In order to do so we had to: a) organise more efficiently the knowledge circle in order to establish knowledge reusing not only from the single experiences but from a broader view born out of the sum of our different experiences that allows us to adjust to new challenges and difficulties; b) develop specialisation, also in the innovation process, in order to make integration and the circuits of interaction more fluid and reliable. (E. Rulliani, “New/Net/knowledge Economy: le molte facce del postfordismo”). Investing in knowledge: In a landscape of local niches and small networks the need for formalised languages for the information communication: suppliers and users know each other and knowledge transfer is brought out in real time. The situation is really different when we relate with long networks and when the number of subjects (suppliers or users, each one characterised by different needs, cultures and languages) increases. In this case, there is the necessity to increase languages formalization and an efficient knowledge organization (for example by systems of knowledge management, intranets, newsletters, etc.) in order to share it with other subjects and make it transferable in space and preservable in time). It is not an investment in communication systems and technologies, but and investment in human “intelligence” and resources, especially in a different conception of the work of individuals and of the group that relies necessarily (but not only) upon the new communication technologies. |
