The conclusions were the following: (a) by well managing cohesion, consensus and conflict, the top management team can acquire potency, (b) the used scales with small changes are appropriate for evaluating the constructs, and (c) the proposed model was validated, with the precision that the influence of cohesion by itself seems not too important.

    Urgent! ... To reward the innovation on information technologies, with a real focus on the value generation
    (CENTRUM Publishing, 2015) Alfaro Paredes, Emigdio Antonio
    The innovation on information technologies (IT) is commonly treated as a purpose by itself; however, with this point of view, the managers, especially the chief technology officers or IT managers, don’t necessarily take into account the value generation of the information technologies for the organizations in whose this type of operations and projects are developed and implemented, with the consequent loss of value. In this paper, a logic sequence for evaluating the value generation of the innovations on information technologies is presented, which consists in the following themes: (1) How the organizations generate value?, (2) How the innovations on information technologies generate value?, and (3) How can the organizations calculate the value generation of innovations on information technologies? Finally, some conclusions and recommendations for future researches are presented.
