FOREWORD – 3 Foreword Significant progress has been made in the reform of tertiary education in Chile since the OECD review of 2004. As a society, Chileans value education and it is a subject of frequent and intense public debate and successive governments have responded to social demand through reforms to basic, secondary, and tertiary education. The tertiary education sector has been and remains dynamic in important ways and Chile has been successful in moving from an elite to a mass tertiary education system, while maintaining education quality. This joint OECD and World Bank report provides an overview of the impressive forward thinking and steadfast application of reform in Chile as the country prepares itself for accession to the OECD. Against the background report prepared by the Chilean authorities for the OECD Thematic Review of Tertiary Education and information supplied in meetings in the course of sites visits (Santiago, Arica, Antofagasta, Concepción, Iquique, La Serena, Talca, Temuco, and Valparaíso), the examiners’ report covers the full range of tertiary education in Chile. The report gives an analysis of the achievements of the last decade and the challenges that Chile faces in the quest of providing a world class system for its citizens in the light of the economic, social and political context of the country. The review provides an in-depth study and recommendations on access and equity; the relevance of the system; its governance and management; research and development; and financing. The final chapter brings together, in the form of a synthesis, the specific recommendations of each chapter and sets out how policies can and should be addressed. This review of tertiary education policy was undertaken within the framework of the programme of work of the OECD Directorate for Education in partnership with the World Bank. The financing for the review was provided by the government of Chile and the World Bank.

Submitted: April 17, 2015 Accepted: May 10, 2015 Published: August 25, 2015 Research Article Sweet Spots for Manuscripts: Visualizing the Quality of Scientific Production 1Patricio Ramírez-Correa, 2Jorge Alfaro-Pérez, 3F. Javier Rondan-Cataluña and 3Jorge Arenas-Gaitán 1Escuela de Ciencias Empresariales, 2Escuela de Ingeniería, Universidad Católica del Norte, Chile 3Departamento de Administración de Empresas y Marketing, Universidad de Sevilla, España Abstract: This study presents a visual approach to analyze scientific activity in indexed journals based on bibliometric indicators. The result of this analysis approach supports the process of choosing a journal to submit a manuscript, especially in knowledge domains where the author, whether novice or not, has failed to follow in detail the evolution of the domain. Moreover, the same approach can be used to an overall assessment of the production of researchers, research groups, institutions and countries. The conceptual foundations of the approach are volume and citation indicators of scientific journals articles. In particular, the proposed approach is based on SCImago Journal Rank index, the h-index and the annual number of articles published. The above indicators are transformed into percentiles and then displayed on a graph, integrating in this diagram the set of articles to be analyzed. The analysis approach was implemented in Sweet Spots for Manuscripts, online software based on open source components. As an example of its potential, an analysis of the 2014 research activity of the institutions belonging to the Council of Rectors of Chilean Universities is presented.

  • Business Incubation in Chile Is Still in Its Nascent Stages, with Approximately 20-25 Incubators Supported Primarily by a Coalition of Government and Universities
    Working Paper 2009-WP-02 April 2009 Business Incubator Financing and Financial Services in Chile Aruna Chandra and Magda Narczewska Abstract: Business incubation in Chile is still in its nascent stages, with approximately 20-25 incubators supported primarily by a coalition of government and universities. Chilean business incubators tend to capitalize on regional resource strengths and have a strategic focus on high growth, high innovation, high impact businesses as a result of a government mandate to focus on developing business with high potential for economic development and job creation. The government’s efforts to organize risk capital for early stage ventures to fill market capital market gaps and its support for angel networks as well as incubator funding are noteworthy. This paper provides an overview of the business incubation landscape in Chile, with special emphasis on incubator sponsorship and funding, services (both tangible and intangible) provided by incubators to their client firms, and the associated roles of government, academia and industry/incubator networks in fostering the growth of new ventures by creating a fertile environment for entrepreneurship. About the Authors: Aruna Chandra, Associate Professor of Management in the College of Business, Indiana State University, received her Ph.D. in Strategy and International Business from Kent State University in 2000. Her book, Business India: Finding Opportunities in this Big Emerging Market, was published in 2002 by Paramount Market Publishing. Her current research interests include knowledge management in entrepreneurial firms and approaches to business incubation in different countries. Dr. Chandra has conducted grant-funded research on business incubation in China, and also in Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina and Brazil, interviewing business incubators to understand the various approaches to incubation in the South American context.

  • Biocultural Ethics: Recovering the Vital Links Between the Inhabitants, Their Habits, and Habitats Ricardo Rozzi*
    Spring 2012 27 Biocultural Ethics: Recovering the Vital Links between the Inhabitants, Their Habits, and Habitats Ricardo Rozzi* Biocultural homogenization involves three major drivers: (a) the physical barrier to every- day contact with biodiversity derived from the rapid growth of urban population, (b) the conceptual barrier derived from the omission in formal and non-formal education of native languages that contain a broad spectrum of traditional ecological knowledge and values, and (c) political barriers associated with the elimination or reduction of the teaching of ethics under the prevailing neoliberal economy governance since the 1960s. Biocultural ethics aims at overcoming these barriers by recovering the vital links between biological and cultural diversity, between the habits and the habitats of the inhabitants. These links are acknowledged by early Western philosophy, Amerindian traditional ecological knowledge, and contemporary ecological and evolutionary sciences, but have been lost in prevailing modern ethics. There is an overlooked diversity of forms of knowing and inhabiting regional ecosystems, each of them having diverse environmental and social consequences. A better understanding of the regionally diverse mosaics of ecosystems, languages, and cultures facilitates the distinction of specific causes and responsible agents of environmental problems, and the disclosure of sustainable practices, forms of ecological knowledge and values that offer already existing options to solve socio-ecological problems. I. INTRODUCTION Modern ethics has decoupled human habits from the habitats where they take place, as if humans and their identities could exist in isolation from their habitats and other-than-human co-inhabitants. The conceptual omission of the links between habitats and habits has further sustained a Eurocentric approach projected onto the colonies with minimal consideration for the native ethos: as if indigenous ethics, and their intricate links with their habitats, would not exist or would be irrelevant.

These subjective theories differ from one another in the importance attributed to authority, punishment, and the necessity of parental discipline.
