Pasaban las 13.13 horas del 3 de abril de 2007, y Francia escribía otra página más de la historia ferroviaria. El objetivo declarado del proyecto V150, pasar de largo los 515 Km/h del récord anterior (de 1990), y llegar hasta los 540 Km/h, se superaba con creces. Circulaba en ese instante a 574,8 Km/h; es decir, ¡¡recorría 1 kilómetro en apenas 6 segundos!!

Harnessing Social Networks
NUEVAS TECNOLOGÍAS: The customer interaction provided by social-networking sites creates opportunities and pitfalls for businesses, but a new service called Ning smooths the way.
Just when you thought you and your business were getting the Web down cold, social networking has come along to confuse matters. After a decade of exposure to the Internet, mom-and-pop businesses and international giants alike have learned to make effective use of the Web. Now they need to figure out new strategies as the Web morphs from a mainly one-way method of communicating with customers to a free-for-all of user-created content...

From Manufacturing to Design: An Essay on the Work of Kim B. Clark
CULTURA DE INNOVACIÓN:
"...Dynamic Manufacturing directly challenged Taylor’s principles of scientific management. U.S.
companies had relied on Taylor’s ideas since the advent of mass production in the early twentieth century. But, according to Clark, Taylor’s methods led to a production system frozen in time. Japanese methods, in contrast, relied on learning capacity and collaboration to attain continuous improvement of the process. Japanese companies were able to improve productivity by identifying problems, experimenting with new solutions, and applying the solutions quickly to their production lines. Hence there was a “new paradigm”..."

La sociedad demanda productos yservicios responsables
CULTURA DE INNOVACIÓN: Los consumidores están incorporando valores éticos en sus decisiones de compraLos consumidores ya empiezan a incorporar en la decisión de compra valores relacionados con el comportamiento ético de las empresas (respeto por el medioambiente, respecto por los derechos humanos, compromiso con la sociedad, trato a los trabajadores, etc.). En un estudio de la Fundación Forética, se constata que uno de cada cinco españoles, en algún momentos ha dejado de comprar productos de empresas que ellos consideran no éticamente responsables. Y más de la mitad de los encuestados elegiría el producto de una empresa responsable, aunque le costará más dinero....
Puesta en marcha la investigación para generar biocarburante a partir de residuos de cítricos
ECOEFICIENCIA: La Generalitat Valenciana, el Ciemat, Ford e Imecal firman un convenio para estudiar la futura construcción de una planta de producción. El presupuesto de la primera fase es de 600.000 euros.
Valenciana, el Centro de Investigaciones Energéticas, Medioambientales y Tecnológicas (Ciemat), la planta de Ford en Almussafes y la empresa Imecal han firmado un convenio para estudiar la producción de bioetanol para motores flexibles a partir de residuos de cítricos, con vistas a la construcción de una futura planta de fabricación.
Fuel Cells. Next generation
NUEVAS TECNOLOGÍAS: Hydrogen fuel cell cars promise pollution free driving .. but will we see them anytime soon?
Everyone from automakers to environmentalists to politicians is touting hydrogen fuel cell cars as the wave of the future. But just how soon will that wave arrive? Most experts agree that major technological and economic hurdles need to be cleared before these silent, pollution-free automobiles proliferate on the nation's highways. Have a look at this website and enjoy an explanatory video and other comments and articles about this new technology that may change the future. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/sciencenow/3210/01.html
3 way Baby buggy - INDITEX
NUEVOS PRODUCTOS Y SERVICIOS: Maximization of the client's commercial network/Inditex
Inditex has generally grown in the fashion textile retailing in two axes: 1. New geographic markets, 2, New customer segments. To achieve top-line growth, a third axis of growth was attempted, this being the diversification of product beyond fashion textile. Children strollers were spotted as a suitable starting point as they are already being placed in children’s wear stores. In order to hit cost target and to be able to launch in a record time, an alternative manufacturing strategy from regular stroller makers was designed. It consisted of using suppliers and technologies from other industries and apply their processes and materials to our product. This allowed to manufacture the stroller’s structure in Spain, close to Inditex’s headquarter’s, thus facilitating the industrialisation process. The textile’s were designed in Spain and manufactured in Asia. http://www.thenodecompany.com/results/work_project.asp?id=914
The Race To Build Really Cheap Cars
NUEVOS PRODUCTOS Y SERVICIOS:The newest thing on four wheels is sturdy, inexpensive, and probably not made in the U.S.
How cheap is cheap? Renault-Nissan Chief Executive Carlos Ghosn is betting that for autos, the magic number is under $3,000. At a plant-opening ceremony in India Apr. 4, he was already talking up the industry's next challenge: a future model that would sport a sticker price as low as $2,500—about 40% less than the least expensive subcompact currently on the market. Renault-Nissan is the first global automaker to take up the gauntlet thrown down in 2003 by India's Tata Motors, which plans to launch a $2,500 car next year. Both are leading a race to the bottom that could affect the business every bit as much as Henry Ford's Model T did a century ago.

Iberdrola empieza a construir en Guadalajara su primera central de residuos forestales
ECOEFICIENCIA: El cuidado de los bosques como fuente de energía.
Iberdrola ha comenzado las obras de construcción de la central de biomasa de Corduente (Guadalajara), la primera de la compañía en España que utilizará residuos forestales para generar energía. Esta nueva planta de energías renovables de la compañía, que se prevé pueda entrar en funcionamiento en un plazo de 18 meses, implicará una inversión aproximada de 5,5 millones de euros. Con una potencia instalada de 2 megavatios (MW), está previsto que utilice alrededor de 20.000 toneladas de residuos forestales al año, obtenidos de la limpieza y poda de los montes cercanos, lo que contribuirá a evitar incendios y plagas. http://www.iberdrola.es/
