Society in the Museum (SoMus) is a research project in the field of sociomuseology where culture is viewed as an essential axis of developmental processes and museums as key tools for the exercise of cultural citizenship. The project intends to identify, analyse, systematize and disclose some of the most interesting emerging models of participatory management underway in four European museums. In this article we present the anatomy, the strategy and the challenges of one of the Nordic partners, the Finnish Labour Museum, and its current management tool, the OPTI Participatory Management Model. The model has been adapted from the business world to serve as a critical museological tool and to enhance participation in cultural institutions. It is a response to the paradigmatic transition that museums face when actively engaging in a participative culture.

Smart offices are dynamically evolving spaces meant to enhance employees’ efficiency, but also to create a healthy and proactive working environment. In a competitive business world, the challenge of providing a balance between the efficiency and wellbeing of employees may be supported with new technologies. This paper presents the work undertaken to build the architecture needed to integrate voice assistants into smart offices in order to support employees in their daily activities, like ambient control, attendance system and reporting, but also interacting with project management services used for planning, issue tracking, and reporting. Our research tries to understand what are the most accepted tasks to be performed with the help of voice assistants in a smart office environment, by analyzing the system based on task completion and sentiment analysis. For the experimental setup, different test cases were developed in order to interact with the office environment formed by specific devices, as well as with the project management tool tasks. The obtained results demonstrated that the interaction with the voice assistant is reasonable, especially for easy and moderate utterances.

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to address difficulties reported by the nursing team during the process of changing the management model in a public hospital in Brazil. METHODS: This qualitative study used thematic content analysis as proposed by Bardin, and data were analyzed using the theoretical framework of Bolman and Deal. RESULTS: The vertical implementation of Participatory Management contradicted its underlying philosophy and thereby negatively influenced employee acceptance of the change. The decentralized structure of the Participatory Management Model was implemented but shared decision-making was only partially utilized. Despite facilitation of the communication process within the unit, more significant difficulties arose from lack of communication inter-unit. Values and principals need to be shared by teams, however, that will happens only if managers restructure accountabilities changing job descriptions of all team members. CONCLUSION: Innovative management models that depart from the premise of decentralized decision-making and increased communication encourage accountability, increased motivation and satisfaction, and contribute to improving the quality of care. The contribution of the study is that it describes the complexity of implementing an innovative management model, examines dissent and intentionally acknowledges the difficulties faced by employees in the organization.

This study's objective was to identify changes in decision-making arising from the revitalization of the participatory management model and how these changes impacted the daily work of the nursing staff, as well as to identify potential difficulties. This qualitative case study was conducted in a public hospital in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. Participant observation and semi-structured interviews were conducted with 23 nursing workers and the Health Technical Assistant. We used thematic content analysis for data analysis. The revitalization of the management model was not comprehensive because many professionals were oblivious to the process. Shared actions did not occur and adherence to the model was hampered because the workers were not fully informed of the assumptions concerning this management model. For the implementation of this model to be effective, teamwork and the inclusion of all the stakeholders should be reviewed in order to achieve more cooperative and qualified work.

It is widely acknowledged that university research and information exchange between academic and industrial science play vital roles in technological innovation, yet little is known about the process of university-industry linkage and its economic results. In 1982, the National Science Foundation's Division of Industrial Science and Technological Innovation (NSF/ISTI) began sponsorship of a major research project exploring the process of information exchange between academia and the business world, as well as the relationship of such linkage to the complex process of technological innovation. From 1982 to 1985, the Productivity Improvement Research Section of NSF/ISTI provided approximately $400,000 to support a feasibility study and a two-phase research project focusing on university-industry linkages in the State of Michigan (Grant #ISI-8313945).

In this article, we present a new model for distributed intelligent management networks. This paper presents a approach for the design and implementation of a distributed intelligent system that is designed through the normalization of knowledge management. Our study focuses on a language for formalizing knowledge management descriptions and an intelligent framework and combining them with an existing Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) management model. Further, this work outlines the development of an example based on our proposed standard.
