- Robotización, ¿sólo cambiará el empleo?(Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Navarra, 2020) León-Llorente, C. (Consuelo)The first industrial revolution was that of the steam engine, the second one of electricity and assembly lines, the third one, that of computers started in 1960 and that nowadays drives the R + D + i triad (research, development and innovation). We are now entering the fourth revolution or revolution 4.0 based on digital technology, artificial intelligence, globalization and hyperconnectivity. This new context is changing not only our way of life but also of working. The place, the time, the type of task changes radically in the context of the 4th industrial revolution. The sociolabor scenario is currently facing important challenges: the aging of the population, a high level of unemployment and new sectors that will lead employment, but above all an exponential growth of the technology associated with robotization and the globalization of markets. This situation is causing important changes in the educational systems of the countries and in the organization of work in the companies. Because all, from the academic authorities, human resources consultants and national and international public administrations, raise an important reflection on the future of employment. This article contains some of the most important conclusions about this topic at national and international level.
- Inteligencia Práctica versus Inteligencia Artificial: El Futuro de la Acción Directiva en las Empresas(Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Navarra, 2020) Murcio-Rodríguez, R. (Ricardo); Llaguno-Sañudo, J. A. (Jorge Arturo); Scalzo, G.R. (Germán Roberto)Debate abounds surrounding the future of work, motivated by the so-called Fourth Industrial Revolution, and especially by the challenges that technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) pose. The development of AI in recent years threatens to replace human labor, which not only has social consequences, but also anthropological ones due to work’s importance for human life. This paper compares AI with practical reason –i.e., properly human intelligence – in order to suss out if such a threat is real. First, it takes a theoretical approach to practical reason in light of classical philosophy, using Carlos Llano’s theoretical framework as a reference. Then it contrasts this analysis with perceptions about AI gleaned from in-depth interviews conducted with executives and professionals at influential technology companies in Mexico City.
- Digitalización y personas(Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Navarra, 2020) Stein, G. (Guido); Vilaplana, F. (Francisco)Business organizations are experiencing a deep transformation and, in a way, “sui generis” caused, mainly, by the powerful influence of new technologies in their varied versions. This obliges them, among others, to modify organizational structures and people management policies with a double goal: firstly, to guarantee their competitiveness and, secondly, to ensure that the necessary environment which allows the provision and prosperity of the adequate talent is cultivated. With this basic purpose, throughout the following article the three main trends - identified by the authors - that influence the current configuration of organizations will be analyzed, that is: the proliferation of agile environments that allow to adapt quickly and dynamically to the continuous changes in the market, which bring new ways of directing, organizing and managing people not exempt from difficulties and peculiarities; the necessary adaptation of performance management systems according to the new business demands and the emergence of the younger generations in the labor market; and, finally, the emergence of advanced tools and techniques for massive data analysis that ask for additional reflections on their use and the risks that its potential abuse entails.
- Pobreza material y antropológica: una aproximación desde la Doctrina Social de la Iglesia(Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Navarra, 2020) Mendoza, C. (Cristian)This paper summarizes some of the principal perspectives to understand poverty. I take into consideration some of the initiatives of the World Economic Forum and the United Nations, as well as some of the academia and specific research centers in this field. The scope of this article is to approach poverty from the perspective of Catholic Social Doctrine to underline that this problem is more than a material issue, it is a moral and anthropologic problem. When understood in terms of a moral and anthropologic problem, poverty is translated as violence, corruption, damage to life and to people in need etc. The point of this paper is to show that anthropologic poverty always gives place to economic poverty, but not the other way around. Economic poverty does not always generate anthropologic poverty. This is because families with few economic resources can actually live on values that allow them to have a good life. In this paper I take into consideration some of the general solutions currently given to poverty, stressing the importance of multiplying human relationships in benefit of a greater social knowledge. The conclusions of this paper explain that people in a specific society reach development not when all of them do the same thing, but when each person is able to undertake their specific task in the best possible way.
- Leopoldo Calvo-Sotelo, el presidente que fue empresario: una visión entre el mercado y el Estado(Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Navarra, 2020) Nogueira-Centenera, A. (Antonio)Leopoldo Calvo-Sotelo (1926-2008) fue el único presidente del Gobierno de España en el siglo XX con una amplia experiencia empresarial. Más allá de su trayectoria política, siendo director de empresas industriales del Banco Urquijo, alcanzó el éxito en la Edad de Oro del capitalismo europeo (1945-1973). Inspirándose en Keynes, desde los años 60 planteó en diversas tribunas una agenda competitiva y un nuevo management para la empresa española. Fue un hombre de acción con una alta vocación intelectual. Como ministro y presidente en la transición democrática, observó que la gran empresa española seguía debatiéndose, tras la autarquía, entre la mano visible del Estado y la mano invisible de Adam Smith. Aparte de sus memorias políticas, sus reflexiones en torno a la economía y la empresa merecen un lugar destacado en la historia de las opiniones económicas y empresariales de las últimas décadas.
