Book Description
En un mundo donde la tecnología redefine constantemente el panorama laboral, comprender la intersección entre los recursos humanos y la innovación digital se ha vuelto esencial. Este libro nace de la necesidad de proporcionar una visión actualizada y práctica de la gestión del talento en la era de la transformación digital, dirigida especialmente a estudiantes de carreras técnicas y científicas, pero también a otro tipo de estudiantes y profesionales interesados en adquirir una base sólida en recursos humanos. El texto, ofrece una introducción completa y accesible a los fundamentos de la gestión de recursos humanos, contextualizada en el entorno tecnológico actual. A lo largo de sus páginas, el lector descubrirá cómo las funciones tradicionales de RR.HH. están evolucionando gracias a la incorporación de nuevas tecnologías, y cómo estas herramientas están redefiniendo la forma en que las organizaciones atraen, desarrollan y retienen el talento. Esta obra está diseñada para satisfacer las necesidades de diversos perfiles: - Estudiantes de carreras técnicas y científicas como ingeniería o informática, que cursan la asignatura de “Sistemas de información de recursos humanos”, y que buscan comprender cómo sus habilidades técnicas se aplican en el ámbito de los recursos humanos. - Estudiantes de MBA y másteres en gestión de recursos humanos, que necesitan una visión integrada de las prácticas de RR.HH. y las últimas innovaciones tecnológicas. - Profesionales que inician su carrera en recursos humanos y desean adquirir una base sólida con un enfoque moderno y tecnológico. - Profesionales de otras áreas interesados en comprender los fundamentos de RR.HH. en el contexto digital actual. - Ejecutivos y líderes que buscan actualizar sus conocimientos sobre la gestión del talento en la era digital. El libro se estructura en dos partes principales: La primera parte, "Las funciones de recursos humanos", abarca los pilares fundamentales de la disciplina. Desde la planificación estratégica hasta el desarrollo del talento, esta sección proporciona una base sólida en los procesos clave de RR.HH., siempre con una mirada hacia cómo la tecnología está influenciando cada área. La segunda parte, "Tecnologías y recursos humanos", se sumerge en la revolución digital que está transformando el campo. Aquí, exploramos los sistemas de información en RR.HH., las aplicaciones informáticas más relevantes y el impacto disruptivo de la inteligencia artificial en la gestión del talento. Lo que hace único a este libro es su enfoque práctico y su perspectiva tecnológica. Cada capítulo está diseñado para proporcionar no solo conocimientos teóricos, sino también ideas sobre cómo las herramientas digitales están siendo aplicadas en situaciones reales de RR.HH.. Para los estudiantes, este enfoque ofrece una valiosa conexión entre su formación técnica y el mundo de la gestión de personas. Para los profesionales, representa una oportunidad de actualización en un campo en constante evolución.

Pages : 290
Book Description
World Economic Forum Founder and Executive Chairman Klaus Schwab offers a practical companion and field guide to his previous book, The Fourth Industrial Revolution. Today, technology is changing everything--how we relate to one another, the way we work, how our economies and goverments function, and even what it means to be human. One need not look hard to see how the incredible advances in artificial intelligence, cryptocurrencies, biotechnologies, and the internet of things are transforming society in unprecedented ways. But the Fourth Industrial Revolution is just beginning, says Schwab. And at a time of such tremendous uncertainty and such rapid change, he argues it's our actions as individuals and leaders that will determine the trajectory our future will take. We all have a responsibility - as citizens, businesses, and institutions - to work with the current of progress, not against it, to build a future that is ethical, inclusive, sustainable and prosperous. Drawing on contributions from 200 top experts in fields ranging from machine learning to geoengineering to nanotechnology, to data ethics, Schwab equips readers with the practical tools to leverage the technologies of the future to leave the world better, safer, and more resilient than we found it.

The Digital Transformation Playbook
Author: David L. Rogers
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 0231541651
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 267
Book Description
Rethink your business for the digital age. Every business begun before the Internet now faces the same challenge: How to transform to compete in a digital economy? Globally recognized digital expert David L. Rogers argues that digital transformation is not about updating your technology but about upgrading your strategic thinking. Based on Rogers's decade of research and teaching at Columbia Business School, and his consulting for businesses around the world, The Digital Transformation Playbook shows how pre-digital-era companies can reinvigorate their game plans and capture the new opportunities of the digital world. Rogers shows why traditional businesses need to rethink their underlying assumptions in five domains of strategy—customers, competition, data, innovation, and value. He reveals how to harness customer networks, platforms, big data, rapid experimentation, and disruptive business models—and how to integrate these into your existing business and organization. Rogers illustrates every strategy in this playbook with real-world case studies, from Google to GE, from Airbnb to the New York Times. With practical frameworks and nine step-by-step planning tools, he distills the lessons of today's greatest digital innovators and makes them usable for businesses at any stage. Many books offer advice for digital start-ups, but The Digital Transformation Playbook is the first complete treatment of how legacy businesses can transform to thrive in the digital age. It is an indispensable guide for executives looking to take their firms to the next stage of profitable growth.

Robot-Proof, revised and updated edition
Author: Joseph E. Aoun
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262549859
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 221
Book Description
A fresh look at a “robot-proof” education in the new age of generative AI. In 2017, Robot-Proof, the first edition, foresaw the advent of the AI economy and called for a new model of higher education designed to help human beings flourish alongside smart machines. That economy has arrived. Creative tasks that, seven years ago, seemed resistant to automation can now be performed with a simple prompt. As a result, we must now learn not only to be conversant with these technologies, but also to comprehend and deploy their outputs. In this revised and updated edition, Joseph Aoun rethinks the university’s mission for a world transformed by AI, advocating for the lifelong endeavor of a “robot-proof” education. Aoun puts forth a framework for a new curriculum, humanics, which integrates technological, data, and human literacies in an experiential setting, and he renews the call for universities to embrace lifelong learning through a social compact with government, employers, and learners themselves. Drawing on the latest developments and debates around generative AI, Robot-Proof is a blueprint for the university as a force for human reinvention in an era of technological change—an era in which we must constantly renegotiate the shifting boundaries between artificial intelligence and the capacities that remain uniquely human.

Book Description
From grade school to graduate school, from the poorest public institutions to the most affluent private ones, our educational system is failing students. In his provocative new book, cognitive scientist and bestselling author Roger Schank argues that class size, lack of parental involvement, and other commonly-cited factors have nothing to do with why students are not learning. The culprit is a system of subject-based instruction and the solution is cognitive-based learning. This groundbreaking book defines what it would mean to teach thinking. The time is now for schools to start teaching minds!
