This article highlights the importance of management review in the implementation, maintenance and continuous improvement of the environmental management system (EMS). According to the audit requirements, top level management of the organization must analyze the environmental management system at predetermined intervals, in order to ensure that the EMS is properly, adequate and effective maintained. Three main concepts are explored: the motivations for ISO 14001certification, the perceived benefits of this certification and specific requirements and documents for certification audit of EMS which are used at management reviews.

Green manufacturing is part of the continuous improvement strategy and green energy is indispensable to carry out green manufacturing because manufacturing is energy intensive. Green energy manufacturing is not easy to carry out with conventional means, but with the introduction of nanotechnology, many technical bottlenecks of green energy manufacturing can be resolved. This paper discussed the applications of nanotechnology in green energy manufacturing, especially in the manufacturing of several typical green energy such as solar energy, nuclear energy, biomass energy and geothermal energy, and then pointed out that nanotechnology was helpful to eliminate the technical bottlenecks of green energy manufacturing. Finally, with looking forward to the future, conclusion was drown that by the use of nanotechnology in green energy manufacturing, the supply of green energy would go up to a great new level and the green energy manufacturing would get remarkable progress.

Por otra parte, el concepto innovacion parece ser, en el siglo XXI, el remedio a cualquier tipo de problema de empresas y paises. Estos conceptos unidos al interes creciente por el cuidado del medioambiente y la implantacion de politicas medioambientalmente responsables, tanto por parte de la sociedad, las empresas y las administraciones publicas, lleva a preguntarnos si existe alguna relacion entre estos conceptos. Asi, el proposito de este trabajo es explorar la relacion existente entre la voluntad de la gerencia de impulsar mejoras en la gestion medioambiental de la empresa con la aplicacion de la mejora continua, las dos como componentes de una orientacion innovadora. Para ello se analizan los datos relativos a ocho mil treinta y ocho empresas espanolas recogidas en la base de datos PITEC mediante tecnicas cuantitativas. Los resultados indican que, fectivamente, tras la clasificacion de las empresas en grupos con diferente proactividad medioambiental, se observa que las empresas con mayor proactividad medioambiental muestran una relacion directa con las actividades de innovacion y mejora continua.</p><p> </p><p><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p><span style="font-family: AGaramond-Regular; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: AGaramond-Regular; font-size: xx-small;"><p>Continuous improvement is a well developed field of study at the entrepreneurial level. On the other hand, innovation seems to be the remedy for any kind of problem faced by both businesses and countries on the XXI century. Both these concepts plus a growing concern for the environment and the introduction of environmentally friendly policies by civil societies, companies and public administrations, lead us to question if there is a common relationship between these concepts. Thus, this work explores the existing relationship between management´s desire to improve a company´s environmental management and the application of continuous improvement as part of an innovating orientation. To that end, data related to 8038 Spanish companies gathered from the PITEC database was analyzed using quantitative techniques. After classifying the companies into groups with different environmental proactiveness, results show that the companies with a greater environmental proactiveness display a direct relationship with innovation and continuous improvement activities.</p></span></span></span></span><span style="color: #f2fbff; font-family: Futura-HeavyOblique;"><span style="color: #f2fbff; font-family: Futura-HeavyOblique;"><span style="font-family: AGaramond-Regular; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: AGaramond-Regular; font-size: xx-small;">de innovacion y mejora continua.</span></span></span></span>

IntroductionChanges in nursing, health care, and education warrant continued pedagogical innovations. Faculty are challenged to develop many innovative strategies in the clinical and simulation laboratory setting. Intentional simulation-based learning experiences are one method to prepare new graduates for nursing practice.MethodsOne college integrated intentional simulation-based learning experiences as an improvement strategy in a newly transformed undergraduate nursing curriculum, from mapping through evaluation and revision. Simulation-based learning experiences that were intentionally mapped, organized, and interactive enhanced the teaching and learning needs of students and faculty.ConclusionThe positive outcomes from this curricular transformation serve as a platform for continuous improvement for future approaches to nursing education. This affirmed that the key to transforming a nursing curriculum encompasses intentional mapping, evaluation, and revision.
