Values which formation should\u00a0pursue in order to promote labor relations focused on the Common Good<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Corporate competitiveness in a global market ultimately hinges on the role played by human capital in organizational management in the new economy of the age of knowledge.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At the beginning of the 80s John Paul II in his encyclical \u201cCentesimus Annus<\/em>\u201d (32) already stated: \u201cWhereas at one time the decisive factor of production was the land, <\/em>and later capital \u2014 understood as a total complex of the instruments of production \u2014 today the decisive factor is increasingly man himself, <\/em>that is, his knowledge, especially his scientific knowledge, his capacity for interrelated and compact organization, as well as his ability to perceive the needs of others and to satisfy them\u201d.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Therefore it is especially important and urgent to understand the fundamental reasons that define and bring about the passage from a knowledge based economy<\/em>, where innovative knowledge was hidden within technological progress based on automated production, to a knowledge driven new economy<\/em>, whose dynamism depends substantially on the diffusion and sharing of knowledge and its use for market globalization.\u00a0This is achieved by cognitive elaboration of the technology of interactive information (internet) organized in \u201cintranet\u201d (Business to Business) and \u201cextranet\u201d (Business to Consumer), where flexible thought<\/em> plays an essential role in transforming information into knowledge.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The new means of communication make it possible to distribute and share knowledge between corporations and public\/private institutions, within an informative and cognitive structure of interrelated networks, resulting in a highly complex and rapid transformation of the organization of knowledge.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All of the above strongly affects corporate potential for development.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 To retain a competitive edge in rapidly evolving markets, increasingly dependent on knowledge, corporations must learn to aggregate\u00a0business through digital networks.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This is the only way to operate in a milieu where information and knowledge are the most advanced vehicle of competitiveness and maximization of profit.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In this context a highly functional model of organizational culture is emerging, mainly in \u201cfamily run\u201d businesses.\u00a0\u00a0 I refer to the \u201cOrganizational Humanizing Culture<\/em>\u201d, so defined by Dom\u00e9nec Mel\u00e9 of the University of Navarre (Spain),\u00a0\u00a0 which promotes sharing and the ability of people to work together for a common goal.\u00a0\u00a0 Trust, mutual understanding, shared values and behaviors that bind people together produce cooperation and success.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Development of innovative and flexible knowledge, a component of human capital, thus becomes the highest added value in business in the context of a post industrial society, since it results in\u00a0better and faster use of invested capital and sharp cuts in expenses related to order processing, invoicing and payments thanks to the simplicity and rapidity of online communication.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To promote the passage from a traditional industrial society based on resources, i.e. on the transformation of raw materials, into a society focused on the specific production of knowledge (knowledge as the soul of the product, the very object of the activity), one must operate at a cultural level for a widespread diffusion of cognitive and behavioral flexibility, a multiplier of opportunities and roles essential to the efficient management of complexity.<\/p>\n

Since human mind is the source of all innovation, even in the present market evolution, I am convinced that an appropriate formative approach focused on overcoming management skill shortage through flexible thinking is a decisive tool for the development of a new economy in the age of knowledge based on the central role of the human person.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Corporate growth in a global market can and should be achieved within an economy at the service of man.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let us remember that Benedict XVI in his encyclical \u201cCaritas in veritate\u201d (21), in addressing \u201chuman development in our time\u201d advocates a new humanistic synthesis for a comprehensive understanding of the aspects of the current crisis and its solutions, placing the human person at the center as it searches for an opportunity for discernment, in which to shape a new vision for the future.<\/em><\/p>\n
