“…Informatics research: past and present Lipton (1992) published a comprehensive list of research challenges for dental informatics in 1992. Now, more than ten years later, it is useful to review those challenges and assess briefly the progress we have made toward meeting them (see Table for a summary of Lipton's recommendations).…”

“…The more thorny questions to address include when, how, and in what form information should be presented, especially in an information economy where attention is quickly becoming the limited resource (Coiera, 2000). Lipton (1992) suggested DENTLINE, a literature database similar to MEDLINE, focused exclusively on dental issues, as one measure to make information delivery more targeted and relevant for dental professionals. While a system such as DENTLINE has not come into being, it is possible to search only the dental journals in MEDLINE with search interfaces such as PubMed, the Web interface to MEDLINE provided by the NLM.…”

“…These developments make it easier to meet some of the listed research challenges. For instance, before the widespread diffusion of the Internet throughout society, a concept such as the National Health Lipton (1992) Propose goals for research in dental informatics.…”

“…Other material is based on our ongoing observation of developments in the discipline during the last 15 years. Second, we discuss a set of research challenges for dental informatics that were postulated more than ten years ago (Lipton, 1992) and assess the progress that has been made toward meeting these challenges. Hindered by the difficulty of quantifying such progress exactly, this assessment is necessarily informal.…”

Dental informatics is a young scientific discipline that is undergoing continual maturation. Its literature is estimated to consist of approximately 600 papers published between 1975 and 2003, and it is currently growing at a rate of about 50 papers annually. While interest in the discipline is growing, the number of core contributors to dental informatics research remains relatively small. Two major questions for the discipline are: What are the research challenges that dental informatics faces today? and How can the discipline be strengthened and positioned to maximize its success in addressing those challenges? Progress toward research challenges formulated more than ten years ago has been varied. While many new technologies have become available for clinical dental practice, research, and education, many fundamental problems remain to be addressed with informatics research. Recommendations to augment the research capacity in dental informatics include creating a stronger worldwide dental informatics research community, drawing more biomedical informatics researchers to dental research areas, providing career opportunities for dental informatics researchers, addressing grand challenges together as a community, and recruiting subsequent generations of dental informaticians.

“…Bridging different disciplines, DI is similar to other emerging disciplines such as pharmacogenetics and consumer health informatics. DI, which can be defined as the application of computer and information science to improve dental practice, research, education, and program administration [ 29 ], faces major challenges to establishing itself [ 28 , 30 ]. These challenges are similar to those of other emerging disciplines and include, for instance, a small, slowly growing number of geographically dispersed, experienced, trained researchers and the absence of a dedicated professional infrastructure such as a society or standing annual conference [ 31 ].…”

Background Science has developed from a solitary pursuit into a team-based collaborative activity and, more recently, into a multidisciplinary research enterprise. The increasingly collaborative character of science, mandated by complex research questions and problems that require many competencies, requires that researchers lower the barriers to the creation of collaborative networks of experts, such as communities of practice (CoPs).Objectives The aim was to assess the information needs of prospective members of a CoP in an emerging field, dental informatics, and to evaluate their expectations of an e-community in order to design a suitable electronic infrastructure.Methods A Web-based survey instrument was designed and administered to 2768 members of the target audience. Benefit expectations were analyzed for their relationship to (1) the respondents’ willingness to participate in the CoP and (2) their involvement in funded research. Two raters coded the respondents’ answers regarding expected benefits using a 14-category coding scheme (Kappa = 0.834).Results The 256 respondents (11.1% response rate) preferred electronic resources over traditional print material to satisfy their information needs. The most frequently expected benefits from participation in the CoP were general information (85% of respondents), peer networking (31.1%), and identification of potential collaborators and/or research opportunities (23.2%).Conclusions The competitive social-information environment in which CoPs are embedded presents both threats to sustainability and opportunities for greater integration and impact. CoP planners seeking to support the development of emerging biomedical science disciplines should blend information resources, social search and filtering, and visibility mechanisms to provide a portfolio of social and information benefits. Assessing benefit expectations and alternatives provides useful information for CoP planners seeking to prioritize community infrastructure development and encourage participation.

El gobierno corporativo, la estrategia de diversificación y los resultados: evidencia en las cajas de ahorros españolas

La mayor parte de los debates abiertos sobre el gobierno de las empresas se ha centrado en las entidades de capital, siendo muy pocos los estudios que se han orientado al análisis del comportamiento de organizaciones que no cuentan con estructura de propiedad, como es el caso de las cajas de ahorros. En los últimos años, existe una gran sensibilidad por avanzar en el estudio del gobierno de las cajas de manera que estas entidades puedan preservar su identidad en un sector tan competitivo como es el financiero. Ante esta situación, el presente trabajo de investigación pretende enmarcarse en el movimiento de reformas que se ha venido produciendo durante los últimos años en los modos de organizar el gobierno de las sociedades, hallándose entre las causas de estas reformas una constante: la separación entre propiedad y gestión. Por tanto, valiéndonos de la teoría de la agencia como marco teórico, el presente trabajo de investigación trata de responder a la siguiente pregunta: ¿influye el gobierno corporativo de la organización en la estrategia de diversificación y en los resultados empresariales? Los resultados obtenidos muestran que, con carácter general, los mejores resultados del sector se relacionan con: una mayor diversificación de negocios, mayor dimensión de los consejos, menor participación de los empleados, presidentes sin cargos ejecutivos con experiencia en el sector y una mayor actividad de la comisión ejecutiva, así como con una dimensión mediana de las entidades.
