This work presents a methodology for setting research priorities in the context of a local healthcare system. Information on international and national trends was consulted, a bibliometric analysis based on keyword co-ocurrence was undertaken, and the steps and sequences to be configured within the definitive proposal were assessed. The co-ocurrence network showed the main keywords and links, and, together with cluster formation and ocurrence analysis, it lead to the most frequent and relevant stages and tools that were used, which served as a guide to design the methodology. Research prioritization is essential for public affairs, scientific technology and innovation policies, as well as for an effective allocation of resources and intervention plans. The methodological approach encompasses such issues and becomes a systematic process for supporting healthcare research and innovation management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The relationship between teaching and practical training, i.e., the link between theory and practice, occurs since the very first academic years through the combination of teaching, real-life and research activities. This paper shows the results of a strategy adopted by the teaching staff in the Knowledge Management Department Lázaro Quintana Tápanes in order to promote scientific research by Industrial Engineering majors at the University of Matanzas, with these adopting a Knowledge Management approach. In this way, real-life and research activities could be combined. This was also a contribution to university management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The dynamism experienced by organizations today must be compensated with the use of techniques and tools that meet their needs. The conjugation of elements of the classical administration, with the new tendencies to manage the companies is a feasible conception in the search of results for the increase of the organizational performance. In this paper a procedure for the application of the DACUM method, originally conceived for the occupational description of a job, in an approach to Knowledge Management is proposed. The adaptation raises the extension of a matrix that incorporates the necessary knowledge for the execution of tasks and functions that converts the method into a feasible use tool in the elaboration of improvement programs and in the knowledge audit processes.

In the complex, globalized and competitive business context, process management is a necessity in achieving competitive advantages. In recent years, there has been a growth in publications on process management and its relationship with knowledge management. The competitive advantages that an adequate knowledge management produces depend not only on the amount of knowledge gathered and stored but on its use. Consequently, the objective of the work is to identify the necessary knowledge for the development of activities, in the processes, as a management and improvement tool in a medicine company. As a result, the DACUM letter is presented, for the identification of the necessary knowledge, to the process management procedure and is integrated, in a single procedure, to identify the necessary knowledge in the development of the activities of the processes and the support for its documentation.

The existing situation caused by the Covid-19 pandemic requires new ideas to face the obstacles that have arisen in logistics systems and supply chains. This article aims to analyze the challenges of logistics and the post Covid-19 supply chain. The methods used are bibliometric analysis that allowed determining the main lines of research on the subject, the bibliographic review that makes it possible to make a contrast with other top-level journals from different areas of knowledge and work with experts to validate the challenges obtained. With the application of the aforementioned methods, it is determined that the main lines of research are: the training of new professionals who know how to face current situations with renewed engineering and inventory management to avoid the depletion of resources and purchases of chaos.

The work is based on the study of Ecuadorian legal framework as well as the diagnosis in a Cacao production organization at Vinces, Ecuador. Consequently, is highlighted the need to empower human talent and knowledge management, corroborating government's needs of developing this sector. Seventy-one Knowledge Management models were studied based on twelve selected variables, the inclusion was subject to their presence on previous models or the need to answer the current problem. A bibliometric study was carried out based on the co-occurrence of keywords (variables) and Knowledge Management models using a software to perform a cluster analysis. The obtained results were the basis to build a Knowledge Management model, which allows empowering human talent and the organizational culture of peasant organizations in Vinces.

In the article a conceptual model for effective and proactive management of knowledge through the proposed observatory. It is based on critical analysis and statistical processing of more than 100 models of knowledge management and intellectual capital. Five studies conducted for the purpose and is complemented by a review of work done in Cuba on the subject with emphasis on doctoral theses 26 are taken as references. It is determined that more variables are present in models: the processes through which develops; the key factors to be precisely the essential basic components; the need for accessible information, relevant and reliable; and training for effective management of knowledge management. limited use or presence in the scientific results Observatory studied as repositories and tools for managing knowledge, regardless of their importance and development achieved today is appreciated.
