Liderazgo en la empresa online neguentrópica

Leadership for the negentropic online enterprise

Resumen

Este artículo trata el fenómeno opuesto a la degradación entrópica, tal como se entiende en las ciencias físicas y lo aplica, de manera metafórica, a las empresas online. Las conductas neguentrópicas son aquellas que aportan reintegración, renovación y, finalmente, estados positivos a la organización. El aprendizaje online, que ha resultado ser un pilar básico de los planes estratégicos de la mayoría de universidades e institutos, tiene el potencial para un gran impacto neguentrópico en los centros de educación superior dentro de instituciones individuales. En este artículo nos centramos, fundamentalmente, en cómo la aplicación de la neguentropía contribuye al liderazgo de las empresas online, a la espera de que la tendencia positiva se traslade a los centros de educación superior.
