Enfoques contemporáneos sobre la cuenta corriente

En esta sección se incluyen los ensayos “¿Importa la cuenta corriente? El punto de vista tradicional y el moderno” de Max Corden y “Un marco de análisis teórico para el ‘problema’ de la cuenta corriente” de Raúl Aníbal Feliz, así como un comentario general de Jacques Polak, que se presentaron en el seminario sobre la relevancia de la cuenta corriente, que organizó la revista Economía Mexicana. Nueva Época en la sexagésima segunda Conferencia Anual de la Southern Economic Association en la ciudad de Washington, D.C., en noviembre de 1992.

Rethinking the Social Construction of Technology Through 'Following the Actors': A Reappraisal of Technological Frames

In this paper, I summarize case study research on an information system called Connected Kids. This case study was guided by an approach to technology studies called the \'Social construction of technology\' or SCOT Bijker (1984). In discussing Connected Kids, I illustrate many of SCOT\'s main tenents, e.g. the various social interactions that surround and influence technology design. As the paper progresses, however, I focus on one concept in particular, i.e. SCOT\'s notion of a \'technological frame,\' which is used as a catch-all concept for handling the structural influences in technology design. My discussion and illustration of this concept shows that – whilst technological frames help an analyst understand, in general terms, the role structure(s) play in shaping technology – the \'heterogeneity\' of technological frames can cloak the more obvious, and potentially most influential, forces at work in technology design. In the case of Connected kids, the role of resources, and which actors had access to these resources, was critical in pointing Connected Kids down a particular trajectory. Further, this discovery emerged from listening carefully to respondents\' comments on the role of resources in their community. These comments, and my own observations on how resource-access propelled certain actors into a leadership position, led to my developing an alternative method for analyzing technological frames. The implications of this analysis are then discussed within the context of SCOT and technology studies more generally.Social Construction of Technology, Technological Frames, Information Technology

Expert Systems as Applied to Future Space Transportation Syst

Future space transportation system programs must utilize cost reduction tools and techniques in order to become viable entities in the prevailing political and economic environments. Expert system and knowledge based technology can provide this opportunity for significant cost savings. Current active programs may achieve some limited cost benefits via piecemeal applications to identifiable worthwhile targets. But, the real value of the technology lies in the inclusion of its principles in the initial requirements definition phase for the target program and application of these principles throughout the program life cycle. Therefore, it is clear that accommodation of this kind of usage which encompasses the application of technology using sound engineering principles requires the development of tools to accommodate implementation. This means that expert system life cycle standards similar to MIL-STD 2167 are required, various expert system architectures must be developed, e.g., distributed and hybrid distributed systems, large and complex expert systems must easily integrate and interface with procedural language systems such as Ada, and tools that automate the process of knowledge base rule generation from domain experts must be developed to simplify the knowledge acquisition process. Development of these tools and capabilities is realizable within the capabilities of existing technologies. In the current environment of intensive development effort in pursuit of these tools and capabilities, it is reasonable to assume expert system technology will be in a condition suitable to support development of the next generation of space transportation system elements

THE BANKING REVOLUTION: SALVATION OR SLAUGHTER

First published in Great Britain in 1997, the book is co-authored by the founding partners of Mitchell Madison Group of Management Consultants. Mark Carrington is a qualified management accountant and has served a range of international banking clients in wholesale and leasing finance, banking, treasury, investment banking, retail banking, credit cards and investment management. Philip Langguth has had extensive experience through a wide range of engagements in strategy developments, risk management and organizational and operational effectiveness that gives him the unique ability to bridge the gap between the business and I.T. worlds. Thomas Steiner has similar experience of working with executives of leading banks and technology providers on a wide range of management issues in more than 100 countries. He is also the lead author of two books, Technology in Banking; Creating Value and Profits (1990) and Systems Technology and the United States Commercial Banking Industry (1987)
