New technologies and so-called communication and information technologies are transforming our society, the way in which we relate to each other, and the way we understand the world. By a wider extension, they are also influencing the world of law. That is why technologies will have a huge impact on society in the coming years and will bring new challenges and legal challenges to the legal sector worldwide. On the other hand, the new communications era also brings many new legal issues such as those derived from e-commerce and payment services, intellectual property, or the problems derived from the use of new technologies by young people. This will undoubtedly affect the development, evolution, and understanding of law. This Special Issue has become this window into the new challenges of law in relation to new technologies.

In journalism studies, an interest in emotions has gathered momentum during the last decade, leading to an increasingly diverse investigation of the affective and emotional aspects of production, text and audience engagement with journalism which we describe as an “emotional turn.” The attention to emotion in journalism studies is a relatively recent development, sustained by the concurrent rise of digital information technologies that have accentuated the emotional and affective everyday use of media, as well as the increasing mobilization, exploitation and capitalization of emotions in digital media. This special issue both builds upon research on emotion in journalism studies and aims to extend it by examining new theoretical and methodological tools, and areas of empirical analysis, to engage with emotion or affect across the contexts of journalistic production, content and consumption. In proclaiming ‘an emotional turn’ in journalism studies, the intention of this special issue is not to suggest a paradigm shift or a major change in the prevailing research agenda in the field. Rather, against the backdrop of the increasingly diverse field of journalism studies, it is to point out that the relationship between journalism and emotion represents a rapidly developing area of inquiry, which opens up for new research agendas.

The paper aims to design and apply a Knowledge Management (KM) model within the context of a Higher Education (HE) institution in Mexico. The model is composed of six enablers: leadership, culture, structure, human resources, information technologies and measurement, which facilitate the processes of knowledge creation, storage, transfer and application. A 53-question survey applied to thirty-six (36) people allowed to evaluate the degree of development and implementation of knowledge enablers and processes. Objectivity, reliability and overall model fit were assessed.

ABSTRACTNowadays the most valued asset of the organizations is their knowledge, who is embodiedinto routines, products, services and employees. Knowledge Management arises as a set of strategiessupported by Information Technologies (IT) that tries to leverage the knowledge resources at themaximumlevelto obtaincompetitiveadvantagesthrough newservicesand productscreation,as wellas improving the existing, optimizing the customers relationships, streamlining the time of routinesand serving information and knowledge to the employees on time. The Cloud Computing paradigmdefined by Gartner as: "a computing style where the IT capacities, scalable and elastic, are providedby a service to customers using internet technologies" offers a set of technological advantages to theorganizations that wants to incorporate it in their IT projects. Companies that start knowledge management initiatives, can leverage the Cloud Computing features to maximize the scope of their projects, and in that way obtain advantages among competition. In this paper will be exposed several waysabout how the organizations can upgrade their knowledge management strategies through Cloud Computing features.RESUMENActualmente el activo más preciado de las organizaciones es su conocimiento, el cual se encuentra dentro de las rutinas, productos, servicios y empleados. La Gestión del Conocimiento surge como una serie de estrategias soportadas por Tecnologías de Información (TI) que buscan aprovechar al máximo los recursos de conocimiento para obtener ventajas competitivas por medio de la creación de nuevos servicios y productos, así como la mejora de los existentes, optimización de las relaciones con los clientes, agilización del tiempo de las rutinas y entrega de Información y conocimientos a los empleados en el momento requerido. El paradigma Cloud Computing definido por Gartner como: “un estilo de computación donde las capacidades TI, escalables y elásticas, son proveídas como un servicio a clientes usando tecnologías de internet” ofrece una serie de ventajas tecnológicas para las organizaciones que decidan a hacer uso de este en sus proyectos de TI. Las entidades que emprendan iniciativas de gestión del conocimiento, pueden aprovecharse de las características de Cloud Computing para maximizar el alcance de las mismas y así obtener ventajas con respecto a sus competidores en el mercado. En esta ponencia se expondrán varias maneras de como las organizaciones pueden poten-ciar sus estrategias de gestión del conocimiento a través de las ventajas y características que ofrece Cloud Computing.

Information Technologies (ICT) have developed systems and network organizations that foster the creation of resources for company management. The establishment of strategic alliances and business cooperation systems has been encouraged by ICT and information systems management. This focus on organization and strategic knowledge management shows the capabilities they provide in managing organizations’ intangible assets, information and knowledge, since they are a competitive advantage. Network organizations, intercompany systems, cooperation, and alliances with the support of ICT are the paths to enterprises growth and development.


This chapter compares the universal TB model with the previous TB interpretation discussed in the first half of the book. Special attention is devoted to 19 selected TB properties ranging from adaptability to universality. Furthermore, tangible results follow in form of potential implications to business administration. Namely, information and knowledge management and information technologies are considered. In the area of information management, a generic time bank information management framework is outlined. In the scope of knowledge management, the function of TB is compared with the phenomenon known as communities of practice. Finally, co-productive behavior of the TB related to open source communities are depicted in the area of information technologies.

E-commerce has become a key aspect of the global business environment, causing fundamental changes in markets and organisational structures. This chapter considers how knowledge management, the latest management approach aimed at improving business performance, can create new business opportunities in the new business environment that is defined by electronic commerce. Knowledge management deals with the systematic generation, codification and transfer of knowledge and can be supported by a number of technologies, known as knowledge management tools. It has been argued that intelligent systems can offer additional capabilities and advantages in comparison with more traditional information technologies. This chapter investigates the potential of intelligent agent-based software for more effective knowledge management in the context of e-commerce, adopting the perspective of an SME involved in development of intelligent agents-based knowledge management software. The chapter concludes with a research agenda for knowledge management research in e-commerce.
