This section begins by establishing the difference and relationship between the terms information and knowledge, for the principle of intelligibility in this document and considering that the Organizational Learning on your own, is related to the construction, implementation and management of knowledge in organizations.

In many cases there is a tendency to understand, use and believe that access to much information is the same as access to knowledge. Perhaps one reason for this confusion has to do that for many authors the ability to create knowledge is related to a large extent, access to information and confused the boundary between both concepts.

For its part, Dretske (1981) argues that the information can be considered in two ways: syntactically (by volume it has) and semantically (by meaning you own). The semantic aspect of information is more important for the construction of knowledge, because it focuses on the meaning expressed. In this way, information is considered, a flow of messages and knowledge is created precisely for this flow of information, anchored in the beliefs and commitment of its holder. This explanation emphasizes that knowledge is essentially related to human action.

Knowledge has been defined theoretically as true and justified beliefs acquired empirically. This is operationalized, to understand knowledge as a sequence, a continuum from data to information and knowledge thereof, which becomes with time and experience that grows up to become knowledge.

For Nonaka and Takeuchi (1999), knowledge is similar to the information, other than her relational. And here are three observations as follows:

1. When it comes to knowledge, unlike information, these beliefs and commitments. Knowledge is a function of a position, perspective or specific intent.
2. Knowledge, unlike information, is action.
3. Knowledge, like information, meaning is dependent on specific contexts and relationships.

In his Theory Organizational Knowledge Creation, Nonaka and Takeuchi (1999) assume the traditional definition of knowledge that you are considered a justified true belief, however, clarified that although traditional epistemology emphasizes the abstract nature, static and non-human knowledge, typically expressed in propositions and formal logic, knowledge is a dynamic human process of justifying personal belief in pursuit of truth.

As a result, both information and knowledge are elements of context-specific and are relational, because they depend on the situation and are dynamically created in social interaction of individuals, on the other hand, when interacting in a social and historical context people share information with which to build a social knowledge that makes up a reality and this, in turn, influences their judgments, their behavior and attitude, (Nonaka and Takeuchi, 1999).

From this perspective, it is important to recognize that information is one of the epistemological references for the construction of knowledge; it will add the creativity and thought processes, as well as other information from the context that is not organized or split the experiences and perceptions. For there to be knowledge must combine three factors: information, experience and interaction with the context. It’s not just the ability to relate in a highly structured, data, information and knowledge of a particular object.

The discussion presented earlier, leads to the conclusion that knowledge requires two mental activities : perceiving and conceiving, where mental activity is perceived by which stimuli reach the brain from the outside and makes the process of cognition, and design is mental activity by which concepts and ideas resulting from perceived stimuli, which in turn determine the understanding and comprehending concepts that make learning cognitive process which culminates in what is meant is a fact, a relationship, a word, a method, however what is understood is a number, a system, a plan, ( Arraez 2003).

For Paul and Dominique (2002), the information is structured data and immovable remains idle until it is used, with the knowledge to interpret and process and in the process are transformed into knowledge.

In summary, the information is not knowledge, the information is not going to produce, by itself, new solutions to everyday problems, alternatives to the needs of populations and countries, or the construction of innovative proposals by the organizations, (Camacho , 2003).

Moreover, the support of knowledge is not only information but the human qualities and abilities that use it to transform some or to modify their own abilities. Was identified that knowledge is only the interpretation, analysis and processing of information, because it includes the process of understanding of human learning. De Souza Silva (2002), puts it as follows: Knowledge is a verb, not a noun, is a classic swing state of understanding that a building after interpreting and analyzing different information on the same theme” (p 36).

For this information into knowledge needed start-up, development and maintenance of a range of strategies. First, it is necessary to discriminate relevant information that according to the interest of the person who inquires. Selected information is necessary to analyze a reflexive posture, trying to deepen each of the elements, de- constructing the message, to re- build it from reality. Thus, in the process of de-construction was disassembled, includes, and means those parts, objectives, elements, axioms of the message. In the process of re-construction is the reverse procedure, i.e. from the global perspective of knowledge and the person from their personal, social, historical, cultural and vital (Sancho and Millan, 1995).

In Peru, by Act of the Republic all public employees are required to study a minimum of hours per year curriculum in order to be considered in moving up the rankings.

Thus they have thousands of public employees from all sectors: health, education, regional governments, municipalities, each year buy services from different educational institutions, attend seminars, courses, conferences. So, distance and perform of their duties as required by the law.

Many of them seek to study and learn, raise their intellectual capacity, grow professionally and become competent person.

Thousands of public employees have started as mere adjuncts, on the road studied a superior race, they passed the Technical Group, the Professional, became Chief, Assistant Managers, Directors, over the years.

Today officers are almost always in the state. The same applies in the private sector, where they started as a sweeper, studied accounting, and then began working as assistant accountants, others who started as assistants studied logistics warehouse and ended up as grocers, many workers in factories that were studied Mechanical Lathes and then went to work as technicians in fabrication of parts in industrial plants, workshops lathe, etc.

This is the case of thousands courageous Peruvians who triumphed in his own country and the pride of their families, companies. People who are businessmen today, respected successful professionals.

And everyone is the architect of his own destiny, which studies triumphs, without struggle there is no conquests. The one who strives and take the road of self-sacrifice, savings, dedication, honesty, sacrifice all his undertakings is crowned with victory, success, but not so, those who seek the easy, cheating, cheating their bosses and employers, will explain why.

When you’re so easy, you say to yourself, “why would I follow a path so long, if I can get by this one have everything faster.”

So think drug traffickers, criminals, who are dedicated to living the vice of the people, stealing, cheating. It is easier for them to get comfortable, stylish cars selling drugs to children, adolescents, prostituted girls, girls, rather than working.

When you get used to deceive your boss, company, presented diplomas bought in the street, you’re fooling yourself and you get used to “fraud.”

It is very suspicious that a person who works 6, 8, 12 years in the State as a teacher, he has 120 Diplomas in his curriculum vitae and certificates of educational institutions when the State submits to an assessment, get deprecated.

One wonders how this can be, if this person has presented 10 diplomas each year at the offices of the personnel department in the last twelve years. They have been in constant training, studying, but do not approve the assessments.

The explanation is very simple. “These people buy numerous fake college diplomas and certificates. Payment to sell it, but do not study anything.

There is the reason why they have so many public servants throughout the public administration that despite its numerous diplomas, leaving deprecated in assessments must be held at various instances.

These days it is important to stay constantly updated to boost our job growth. In other words, to advance the field work, we return to the classrooms and nurture graduate programs. This requirement forces us to leave the office, and not always accessible to this process because, despite being indispensable to us, the unemployment situation threatens our place in the working place.

That is why a great tool to meet the demands of curricular growth in the Internet and under the terms of postgraduate ( masters, doctoral and graduate students ) online through virtual classroom. Besides by providing the fabulous privilege to enter the master’s abroad, as well as doctoral programs and graduates who can interact with other participants.

This tool is called Elluminate, it is a virtual classroom tool with have main function to support distance learning, as this allows teachers and students interact in real time through audio, video, instant messaging and an interactive whiteboard. Added to this the participants can share applications of different types of formats in office, pdf, image, audio and video, while others can guide walks users through the Web.

It is important to say that one of its main advantages relates to its ease of use, it is ideal for meetings, training, coaching, meetings and even conferences, as it is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

In this space, the similarity to the conventional classroom in which the teacher teaches his chair by a board, while receiving feedback on teaching and learning that are dictating their students, participants alternately with the difference through the various tools of new technology and are all involved greatly enrich the knowledge through the information that is available on the network.

Through virtual classrooms, like the one just to meet, share knowledge makes the postgraduate study is easy, accessible and higher quality students without neglecting their daily tasks.

Hume’s critique of notion personal identity is distinction drawn between simple and complex ideas. Which are attributed to the first correspondence between the impression and idea. Thus the impression of corresponds the red idea, but not so in the complex ideas, when it constituted in different impressions only are relations of ideas. This notion of the relation of ideas is very important in the conception of Hume on personal identity, since it follows that the identity of a person is a fiction and an idea without any basis.

In reaching this conclusion, Hume proceeds to establish the origin of perceptions in the human mind. Hume is that our perceptions are caused by two different sources, namely, our impressions and ideas. Thus the perceptions that enter with greater force and violence called impressions, and we understand under this name all our sensations, passions and emotions as they make their first appearance in the soul. While the ideas are the faint images of these [ impressions ] in thinking and reasoning. Hume shows that although this is a general rule, can not be set as a criterion, since there are rare cases in which the ideas and impressions are no different, as in the case of sleeping, the fool or the fever.

This distinction between impressions and ideas is the distinction between simple and complex ideas, and a feeling or simple impression and idea are those that do not support distinction or separation. While the complex is on the other hand those that can be broken down into its parts. Although Hume say that a color, taste and odor qualities are all united in an apple, is easy to see that they are not same, but are at least distinguishable from each

The next point to consider is whether Hume contain complex ideas is an impression that they own, in this way, Hume will tell us that there is so exact correspondence between impressions and ideas “When I close my eyes and think of my room ideas I am are accurate representations of impressions that I felt, and there is no circumstance in the ones that is not in the others”. The ideas and impressions always seem to correspond to each other. More and yet, in spite of that seems to be a relationship between simple ideas and impressions, not the case between the complex ideas and impressions, there is no impression that corresponds to a complex idea without commission [ to complex ideas ] depends on the first [ of simple ideas and impressions ], in the words of Hume our ideas are images of our impressions, we can form secondary ideas are images of the primaries, as seen by reasoning we do about them. The ideas produce images of themselves in new ideas, but as it is assumed that ideas are derived from first impressions, it remains true that all our simple ideas immediately from their respective views.

Memory and imagination, Hume tells us, that the crucial role of memory is to preserve the simple ideas, but their order and position. While the imagination is free and can change both the order as elements that make up the imagined object or action.

This relationship between Hume memory and imagination proceed to study the association of ideas. The association of ideas is that function through which we pass from one idea to another without notice any change in the words of Hume, the qualities of this partnership and which is thus carried the spirit of an idea another are three, namely : resemblance, contiguity in time and space and cause and effect. Hume shows how many relationships of objects are given by these ideas, such as, blood relations, which are given by the idea of causes and effect. The farther we are the cause of something unless we close it.

To criticize the idea of personal identity, Hume tells us, that I do not give it any impression that there is no simple idea which required the self, thus raised the issue, the question is that I would emerge from the partnership these ideas and as said draw conclusions or pass from one idea to another by the ideas of similarity, contiguity and cause and effect.

Hume then establishes what is meant by identity and diversity as: We have a different idea of an object that remains invariable and uninterrupted through the alleged changes in time, and this idea we call identity. We also have a different idea of several different objects existing in succession, and linked together by an intimate relationship, and this for an accurate account provides a notion of diversity as perfect as if there were any kind of relationship between objects.

Now, what will Hume to show that the identity of objects does not exist, is it to show from experience that objects are variable and interrupted?

The clear of constant flow is ever-changing perceptions and not static. So Hume when he begins to criticize the idea of personal identity, what it does is to note how our ideas of “I” come from the ideas of similarity, contiguity and cause and effect. So when considering the identity of plants and animals, Hume shows how none of the material elements are the same on them, watching a river tend to think that this is the same because of their consistency and contiguity of their changes. For the purpose of an object we can think about their identity, and an object that was totally destroyed by an accident and is rebuilt with the same purpose as the impression that it was the same object in order persists, or if even element adds or removes small parties tend to think that it is another object, but the same one, except that if you experience major changes. Thus considered the matter, we can conclude is that personal identity is a fiction and that the experience there is nothing to be invariable constant to change and joined some impression of where it resulted from the self.

Fear led to panic, but not necessarily, and panic is driving many. In less than an hour, yesterday I received three calls from friends who told me they had decided to acquire German Treasury Bills. His reasoning for this decision was like: “They are almost three percent and are three to six months. You never know what can happen and it’s good to have money in cash within one time, if the stock takes another turn, invest in a value that has good run.”

We relive days like those of October 2008, but the nervousness now affects those who have a certain heritage. We will not see, as occurred in fall 2008, customers of banks and removing and putting money from their accounts not to exceed the € 100,000 that covers the Guarantee Fund. But among those with true heritage nervousness begins to be similar.

If you fear nothing invades discarded, possibly because you have to justify certain decisions that will amaze yourself. And that is what is happening.

Because of this, much more widespread in Greece, the German Treasury is taking a strong demand for titles that explains that the profitability of its ten-year bond has fallen to 2.86 (do well for Merkel and for all their fellow citizens who have managed the time to help the country Hellene) . Meanwhile the ten-year bond Spanish profitability has risen to 4.17 percent (Too bad for all the Spanish!). The difference in profitability of Spanish and German bond is explained by the dual effect of increased product demand Germany and a decline in the Spanish financial asset purchases.

The G -20 this weekend promises to be quite tense and decisive. Train crash. In a confrontation between two economic visions quite contrary. To go on spending to sustain the recovery or cut the public tap? So far, several partners have been heating up the atmosphere with a battle of letters and articles in which they read sentences like knives. Toronto will take place in war melee. Who wins the contest will determine the death sentence or pardon recovery.

“W?” Double -dip? This week we had any more information than worrying. The American real estate sector has given us two terrors: one on Tuesday and another Wednesday. Without public support, home sales are not sustained. The New properties have marked a historic low. The U.S. Federal Reserve, in its communiqué issued after its regular meeting on monetary policy, proved to be more pessimistic than it had been customary in recent months. Because the financial terms have become an enemy of economic growth. References added a string of worrying in terms of employment, growth and bank credit.

On this side of the Atlantic, while the debt crisis continues to lash some another, especially in the form of closure of the interbank market, the new panel forecasts for Spain Funcas predict a relapse into recession in the second half of the year.

And while the economy falters, European states are struggling in the design of draconian budget cut plans. The most controversy was raised was the German and the impositions of Angela Merkel community partners. So much so that has caused an intense debate between George Soros and nothing less than the German economy minister, Wolfgang Schäuble. The famous investor, yesterday in Germany, in interviews, at a conference and later in an article published in the Financial Times, said: “Policies that are being imposed in the euro area directly contradict the lessons of the Great Depression of the thirties and carry the risk of condemning Europe for a prolonged period of stagnation, or worse.”

Soros agreed, so, with the open letter sent by President Barack Obama to their partners in the G-20. It is true that Obama has expressed much more diplomatic and did not call names to those who, veiled, were subject to criticism. The U.S. president stressed the great efforts made by governments to leave the Great Recession, and that would be unacceptable to squander all that capital. “Our priority in Toronto must be the safeguarding of the strength of the recovery. We work in an exceptional way to restore growth; we can not let it wane. This means we must reaffirm our unity to continue the policies that support economic growth enough,” Obama wrote in his letter.

And another very important thing, in clear reference to both China and Germany: “A strong and sustained recovery must be built on a balanced global demand. In Pittsburgh (an earlier meeting of the G-20), we agreed that countries with current account balances surpluses should do their utmost to strengthen domestic demand. “It is critical that the pace of fiscal consolidation in each economy is adequate for the needs of the global economy,” added the president. He does not say, but I think it is taking the bronze Hu Jintao and Angela Merkel. The latest case has made him a more flexible yuan. But the first is to his guns.

Not that Obama is an unconscious and is not concerned about his country’s massive debt. Sure it is. But his obsession is not a German. “My administration will cut the budget deficit by half by 2013, which in 2015 will be reduced to 3 %, “says the president. Attention! In 2015! In Europe, it was decided that this objective is met in 2013. Why the European masochism? ” , I would say Paul Krugman , also of pro -spending club , of which just left the UK , which has again been a lover of “blood , sweat and tears.” Germany has a constitutional mandate anti – deficit. Why now is not skip it as early in this decade? Krugman sees a further danger on the horizon, finally, Germany’s Axel Weber will become the next president of the European Central Bank is more orthodox than the current one, Jean -Claude Trichet. We know that the monetary authority’s mandate is to monitor inflation. And I do not want to move there. Well, if they ask for more flexible labor market, what I ask is flexibility in the role of the European Central Bank and the Stabilization and Growth Pact. Because their rigidities condemn us to the abyss.

But come on, Schäuble does not decay in his advocacy of fiscal austerity. And, unlike the delicacy with which Obama expressed, the German minister with all the ammunition fired, “While American politicians prefer to look at the short term, we expand the focus and therefore we are more concerned about the implications excessive deficits and the dangers of high inflation.” “Our aversion to deficit and the fear of inflation, which have their roots in German history, may seem strange to our American friends, whose economic culture is, in part, truffled deflationary episodes.”

The meeting of G-20 promises to debate. Also in relation to the financing system. Obama calls for transparency in the European financial system to reduce tensions in the credit market. To see whether Merkel grants and bare their banks.

It is a game of table tennis. I prefer to win the Obama , Soros and Krugman. For once, I oppose the efforts being made by Old Europe because I think the numbers will take away the reason and also with them, give up its essence. Not only growth is in danger. The flag of Old Europe, the welfare state, is also in question.

The U.S. president, Barack Obama and British Prime Minister, David Cameron, agreed on Saturday in its view that no one would benefit if the company British Petroleum (BP) damaged as a result of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, British government said after a meeting held between the two leaders.

BP shares have fallen to their lowest point in 14 years and its market capitalization suffered a destruction of 100,000 million dollars (over 81,000 million euros) from the disaster that began on 20 April. In light of these data, Cameron on Friday showed concern about the “destruction” of the company.

Business and shareholder groups have been calling for Britain’s new Prime Minister comes to defending the company because of the perception that Obama has been too critical of its management of the landfill.

According to the sources cited, Cameron raised the issue of BP to Obama when the two leaders held their first face to face since he became prime minister last month. “Both agreed that there is nothing to gain if BP is damaged, “said the official.” And both agreed that BP should meet their obligations to stop the loss, clean up the damage and respond to the legitimate compensation costs.”

The company said it paid U.S. $ 2,350 million (1,900 million euros) so far in cleanup costs and compensation for the ecological disaster caused by the largest spill in U.S. history. That does not include the fund by the oil spill of 20,000 million (16,170 million euros) has agreed to establish, or the billions of dollars that must pay fines.

BP, which was an entirely British company, now has global operations and a greater presence in the U.S.. About 40 percent of its shareholder base from the United Kingdom, and a similar proportion in the U.S..

The G20 started today’s meeting in Toronto, Canada, with consensus on the need to reduce the deficit and debt of the countries in the next three years to bolster economic recovery in but discrepancies in the amount of trimming.

The issue of when and how to remove the economic incentives were launched to overcome the crisis has become the main source of friction within the G20, which groups the major developed and developing countries and has emerged the guardian of the global economy.

On one side of the debate are countries like the U.S., insisting as he made clear today the country’s Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner that the G20 should focus primarily on growth, a position shared by emerging powers such as Brazil.

On the other side of the spectrum is the European Union, with Germany at the head, which maintain that cutting public spending is the priority.

This was made clear today, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who said at the end of the G8 meeting, which ended hours before the start of G20, the global economy growth will only “durable and sustainable if countries strengthen their financial” and implementing structural reforms at the same time.”

Brazilian Finance Minister Guido Mantega, who represents his government in the summit at having to leave President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva by floods in the country, warned that fiscal consolidation is important.

He warned, however, that the incipient and uneven global economic recovery may be “threatened” by “hurry the withdrawal of stimuli.”

Despite this push and pull on the theme that emerges as a key to the economies footing again today in Toronto were observed forays between opposing positions.

Merkel herself said , in that sense , there is “consensus” on the need to reduce the expense and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who has proposed to cut the deficit in half by 2013, that consensus called “strong”.

Beyond was even president of the European Commission Jose Manuel Durao Barroso, who spoke during a press conference to the existence of a preliminary agreement to reducing the deficit in half by 2013 as suggested by Harper.

Mantega noted, however, that an agreement in this regard is far from closed and called unrealistic even such a proposal.

“It is very draconian a little difficult, a bit exaggerated, “he said at a news conference today Mantega, recalling that “there are countries with deficits above 10 percent” and will not be possible to achieve the objective set.

While waiting for the leaders of the G20 limens protrusions on that front today and tomorrow, another issue is emerging as controversial is the proposal to impose a global tax on the banking or financial transactions that fund .

United States, United Kingdom, Germany and France lead this crusade but emerging countries like Brazil have made it clear that they disagree.

“We’re not going to agree with that, “said Mantega today, others argue that this is a measure to be applied individually by countries that so wish.

It is expected, moreover, that the G20 tomorrow a new impetus to the proposal to strengthen banks capital and enhance transparency in the sector, according Mantega measures would be adopted at the group’s next meeting in November in South Korea.

It is expected that the final communiqué to be issued tomorrow to allude also to seek alternatives to the Doha Round and subsidies for fossil fuels.

The G20 meeting started today with a state dinner and continues tomorrow, Sunday, with the plenary meeting of the group.

The number of mortgage loans and other consumer credit has gone down in Navarra during the second quarter of 2010, while it has increased the maturity of loans for the acquisition of housing.

So it finds the chapter on Housing and Mortgage Loans included by the Statistical Institute of Navarra ( IEN ) in the Survey of Consumer Economic Situation , for which asked a sample of 640 older than 18 years Navarre .

The survey, as reported today by the INE, shows that 72.3% of Navarre over 18 have a home and of these, 96.1 % have owned (96.9 % in 2009), 0.4 % for rent and 1.3% assigned, while the remaining 2.2% holding encompasses other situations.

13.7% of available buyers account before a housing (18.6 % in 2009) and another 13.7% had no home ownership (9.5 % in 2009).

The number of mortgage loans decreased from last year as a quarter of buyers have a loan current , which in almost all cases, mortgage to finance house purchases, while in 2009 it had in force third of the buyers.

On the other hand, the percentage of the value housing loans representing has declined, as more loans account for less than 50 % the value of housing and significantly decrease the loans which represent over 50% of the acquired property (74.8 % versus 85.1 % in 2009).

In the latter year the maturity of loans has been changed, highlighting those with growth within 16 to 20 years (12.6 points in 2009), and a decrease of which are depreciated between 10 and 15 years (nine points less than in 2009).

The interest rate that applies to home loans is primarily the variable (86.5 % ), followed by fixed rate (12.6 %) and mixed type (0.9 %), compared to 83.7 %, 15.6 % and 0.7 % in 2009, respectively.

As for the reference applied in the updating of the loans, the Euribor are used in 91.8 % of loans, similar percentage as in 2009.

Given the time of purchase, 3.1 % acquired less than three years, 21.6 % in the range of 3-10 years and 75.3% of respondents over 10 years.

Moreover, in regard to the type of housing, 86.6 % of homes purchased are free (compared to 83.1 % in 2009).
