The Resource
|
The University of Puerto Rico created the Resource Center for Science and Engineering (RCSE) in 1980 to foster and nurture a community of future scientists, mathematicians, engineers, and technologists to provide Puerto Rico with the human resources infrastructure and research base needed for the Island’s economic development and global competitiveness. Founded with joint support from the National Science Foundation, the RCSE has been extremely successful in pursuing its goals and has experienced a sound and steadfast growth in the scope of its programs.
In designing an organizational strategy to achieve its mission, the RCSE has developed four fundamental practices that enable it to function as a highly entrepreneurial entity, these are:
|
|
creation of strategic alliances |
|
|
adoption of a virtual organization structure that serves as a catalyst of systemic change |
|
|
development of a systems thinking perspective to approach educational reform |
|
|
engagement in a constant search for windows of opportunities to enhance its operation |
