Identity work in female‐led creative businesses

This study explores the identity work carried out by three female owner‐managers in creative industry businesses, identified in Government reports as a discriminatory industrial sector for women in the UK. Through the development of narratives by the owners and other participants, observation of practice and review of online and offline materials, three cases emerged. These showed overlapping, different identities developed and performed through identity work. Each presented rational and logical persona as business leaders despite observation showing extensive use of intuition and gut feeling in both creative and entrepreneurial aspects of the business. Intuition and gut feeling were seen as inappropriate at work as they belonged to the home sphere, emotionally based and therefore automatically unreliable. While occupying male stereotypes and avoiding the female realm of emotion at work, these women expressed femininity through their emphasis on the maternal, ‘being a good mother' as a desired ideal being embedded in work as well as home practice.     

经济全球化时代中国制造业的发展

自20世纪80年代以来,随着新技术革命和经济全球化的发展,制造业也正在经历着重大转变,出现许多新的发展趋势。近年来,工业化国家迅速调整其科技政策和产业政策,重新强调制造业的地位和作用,并致力于开发先进制造技术。中国在发展制造业上具有比较优势,也具备良好的制造业生产基础设施和技能。在经济全球化时代,中国发展制造业应瞄准现代制造业发展的新方向:一是制造业的全球化发展;二是制造业的信息化发展;三是制造业的柔性化发展;四是制造业的集群化发展;五是制造业的绿色化发展。要提高中国制造业在经济全球化时代的发展,必须积极参与全球生产体系、完善制造业产业集群、以信息化帮助工业化、积极推广建设工业生态系统,最终达到一种完美的共生体系,实现我国制造业的健康、持续发展。     

Optimal lot sizing under continuous price decrease

An important characteristic of high-tech industries is decreasing component prices over time. In the personal computer industry, some component prices decline at a rate of 1% per week. This paper develops an inventory model for products experiencing continuous decrease in unit price. We develop an accurate closed-form approximate solution to the model. Our results indicate that declining prices lead to substantial decrease in the optimal cycle time and much frequent ordering. This explains the heavy emphasis on just-in-time inventory management practiced by successful companies in high-tech industries. While previous models attributed the success of just-in-time policies to reduced holding cost and improved quality, under declining prices a substantial source of savings becomes lower costs of raw materials which is significant part of cost in these industries. We illustrate the results of the model with a numerical example and perform sensitivity analysis.

“倾斜”“反哺”“预警”——解决中部地区“三农”问题的对策

面对我国板块构造式区域经济发展格局中"中部塌陷"的现实,作为我国粮食主产区的中部地区应采取"倾斜""反哺""预警"三大对策来解决"三农"问题.倾斜对策是针对农村发展的,主要措施是权力向县级组织倾斜,资源向县城及农产品加工园区倾斜,政策向农村基础设施建设和农业产业化发展倾斜;反哺是针对农业发展的,措施是沿海工业发达地区反哺中部粮食主产区;预警是保护农民利益的,措施是实施农民利益预警调控.
