Desarrollo urbano sostenible de las ciudades europeas en el s.XXI
(Universidad de Deusto, 2016-01-18) Garcia Velasco, Beatriz
Las ciudades y las áreas metropolitanas son los motores del crecimiento económico y la localización de la mayoría de los empleos. Ambas juegan un papel clave como centros de innovación y en la economía del conocimiento. Al mismo tiempo, las áreas urbanas se encuentran en primera línea de construcción de la cohesión social y la sostenibilidad medioambiental. Las regiones europeas se benefician ampliamente del potencial de las ciudades para incrementar la competitividad y el empleo. Con más del 70% de la población europea viviendo en áreas urbanas, las ciudades se han convertido en el centro de las políticas europeas de cohesión, con el objetivo de explotar las capacidades económicas de Europa . Por ello, y frente a los cambios económicos y tecnológicos causados por la globalización y los procesos de integración, las ciudades europeas se enfrentan al desafío de combinar simultáneamente la competitividad y el desarrollo urbano sostenible . Evidentemente, este reto es probable que tenga impacto en temas como vivienda, economía, cultura, y condiciones sociales y medioambientales. El desarrollo urbano sostenible de las ciudades europeas constituye el tema de estudio de la presente investigación. Esta investigación pretende construir un modelo de desarrollo urbano sostenible para las ciudades europeas. Para ello se revisarán ampliamente tanto el concepto de economía urbana como el desarrollo urbano sostenible, en el contexto de las ciudades europeas y las políticas y programas llevados a cabo por la Unión Europea para el desarrollo de las ciudades. Finalmente, haciendo uso de la información de las ciudades europeas, recopilada por la Unión Europea en el marco del proyecto Urban Audit , se realizará un análisis estadístico de las ciudades europeas para contrastar el modelo propuesto, que considera tanto los factores determinantes de dicho desarrollo como los tres ámbitos de la sostenibilidad: económica, social y medioambiental.
Generic skills and competences for graduate profiles: a comparative analysis of scores and underlying dimensions among stakeholders and regions
(Universidad de Deusto, 2014-12-22) Varghese, Gipson
Generic skills and competences are considered as important outcomes of Higher Education. However, course and curricula design deserve differentiated treatment across countries. It is therefore vital for higher education institutions to equip graduates with generic skills and enable them to function effectively in the world of work and in life generally. This thesis sketches the importance of generic skills and competences as part of human resource formation and tries to identify key skills and competences proposed by stakeholders from different regions. Student centred learning and learner autonomy is high on the agenda on higher education reformation. The concept of graduate employability has also become important for national economies and for an economically and knowledge-driven economy, skilful individuals are considered as productive and rewarding. A common issue for these initiatives is the importance given to key generic skills and competences. In spite of controversies on the matter of generic or transferable skills, there is a tacit consensus that they have to be introduced in the curricula. Several studies and projects have attempted to develop key skills and competences and Tuning project is one of the most important ones among such projects. As generic skills and competences have become crucial factor in higher education, this thesis would like to identify key skills and competences by using the data collected by the Tuning project. In this thesis, human capital theories are used to support the relevance of skills and competences. Key skills and competences are selected from the Tuning list of general competences and underlying structures and ranking of competences are proven statistically using factor analysis and mean scores comparisons. With empirical examination, an effort is made to identify thinking styles of stakeholders from different regions and understand structural dimensions, thus to propose graduate profiles showing preferences for competences. Analysing differences of opinion by respondents from different regions and subject areas would enable us to understand the present day relevance for demanded skills and competences. Once trends and dimensions are identified, proposals could be made for the contextualisation of generic skills within realistic practical activities of higher education formation and training. Presenting such evidences, this thesis intends to shed lights on how higher education institutions could (re)structure teaching and learning process understanding relevant skills and competences.

Measuring social value in European science and technology parks: a stakeholder-centric methodology for assessing its impact in society
(Universidad de Deusto, 2023-12-21) Blázquez Arenas, Víctor
In recent years, Science and Technology Parks (STPs) have gained recognition for their pivotal role in fostering innovation and regional development. However, a noticeable research gap exists in assessing the social value (SV) generated by STPs for their reference communities. This study aims to bridge this gap by developing and testing a comprehensive methodology for analysing the generation and distribution of SV by STPs to key stakeholders. By doing so, it contributes significantly to the field of STP research and practice. The primary objective of this research is to introduce a fresh perspective on STPs, emphasising the quantification of SV produced by the constituent companies and organisations within the STP community. This approach, distinct from the traditional economic evaluation, adds a community-cantered dimension, shedding light on the role of STPs in generating SV and enhancing the well-being of the whole community of stakeholders of each park. The proposed methodology considers a diverse range of stakeholders, enabling the quantification (monetisation) of SV generated by the STP community for each group. It is grounded in Social Accounting principles and the Polyhedral Model of SV analysis. This research aligns with the New Business Narrative debate, focusing on stakeholder theory, and refines methodologies for quantifying value generation and distribution, specifically within STPs. This innovative methodology allows for comprehensive analysis using secondary data, minimising intrusiveness while maintaining result reliability. It shifts from using primary information to an approach based on secondary data related to companies and a minimal use primary data. It provides a reliable estimate of SV generated by the STP community and its distribution, as well as SV per employee and company. These insights are crucial for evaluating STP performance. The study follows a humanistic management approach, emphasising the centrality of individuals and communities in evaluating value generated by organisations. Furthermore, this research contributes to the broader field of STPs¿ generation of social value by introducing a novel methodology applicable to large corporate groups, such as sectors or clusters. In addition, the collaborating with the International Association of Science Parks and Areas of Innovation (IASP) has enhanced the practicality and usefulness of this approach for STPs in Europe. In conclusion, this study pioneers an innovative methodology for SV analysis within STPs, focusing on the distribution of that SV among stakeholders.
