国外如何处理“剩宴”

德国：餐桌浪费处罚最严德国是世界上处罚餐厅浪费最严的国家。在德国，无论自助餐还是点餐，都不能浪费，一旦发现有人浪费，任伺见证人都可向相关机构举报，工作人员会立即赶到，按规定罚款。从幼儿园起，德国孩烈门就会受到节俭就餐的教育，孩子们就餐时老师会按需分配食物，一次不能太多，有需要的孩子可再加。在家里，孩子若浪费食物，也会被处罚劳动。德国餐馆一般不设包间，甚至总理、部长也都在大庭广众之下用餐。德国高官宴请各国高官通常就在普通餐馆摆一张长桌，双方人员分宾主坐在条桌两边，用餐就在大庭广众之下，其他食客看得一清二楚。

访德纪行(一)──德国的职业培训指导

二次世界大战后，作为战败国的德国在一片废墟上迅速崛起，其原因是多方面的。但首要的是因为重视全民职业素质，不断培养大批技术人才，才能出现战后的经济奇迹，可以说，大力发展职业教育，是德国战后崛起的秘密武器。今年1月，中国劳动出版社职业教育考察团对德国进行了为期半个月的访问，期间，先后访问了德国的地方劳工局、职业技术学校、职业介绍所、图书馆、职业教育教材出版社，参观了西门子公司的展览馆。作为考察团的一员，通过参观访问，笔者深感德国发展职业教育的许多经验值得我们学习借鉴。由于时差的关采，我们在飞机上度过…     

德国人的较真

张柯是一家公司的销售，他们公司主要是代理德国公司的一款工业打印机。由于德国打印机质量比较好，再加上售后服务也很不错，因此张柯所在的公司生意一直很不错。可是让张柯没有想到的是，有一天却接到了德国代理公司的一封邮件：他们要求张柯所在的公司支付快递费200元人民币。张柯被这封邮件弄昏了，怎么会有200元的快递费呢，是不是德国人搞错了？德国公司一向以严谨著称，怎么可能会无缘无故要200元的快递费呢？     

一个县委书记眼中的德国

Globalization and the German model of capitalism – erosion or survival?

The German business system has been regarded as a particularly tightly coupled system, with embeddedness of even multinational companies (MNCs) in their home base as particularly deep. A study of the impact of companies' changing internationalization, if not globalization, strategies is therefore especially suited to test competing claims about their effects on the German business system. Are we experiencing an erosion of this system, an adaptation in a largely path‐dependent way, or even a greater specialization and stronger crystallization of the German business system? To investigate these questions, the paper examines a small number of German MNCs in their domestic and international context. More particularly, the work focuses on whether and how their emergent globalization activities affect the reproduction or erosion of the three institutional complexes which shape the factors of production: the financial system; the innovation system; and the industrial relations system. The paper concludes that a new type of transformation – hybridization – is emerging. It is regarded as a consequence of German companies' growing integration into a global economic system.     

Elitenselektion durch Bildung oder durch Herkunft?

Does the social origin have a direct effect on the unequal recruitment of the German business elites? Or, does the social origin have an indirect effect on the unequal recruitment only, by means of the unequal participation in the educational system as suggested by the functionalist elite theory? This question is examined with special reference to the business elite. For the 6.500 engineers, jurists, and economists, who received a doctor’s degree in the years of 1955, 1965, 1975, and 1985, the correlation between social origin, educational career, and professional career is analyzed by multivariate methods. The chances of achieving an executive position are 50% higher for individuals with a service class I background and 100% higher for those individuals with an upper class background in contrast to individuals with working class and middle class background. Therefore, the functionalist view can be regarded as incorrect. On the contrary, it holds that social origin has a strong direct effect on the social selection of the elites. Consequently, the social opening of the German educational system did not result into a social opening of the recruitment practices of the business elite. Rather, the opposite is the case: Social selection increased for the 1975 and 1985 cohorts.     

Neue Heimat Vorstandsteam? Eine Frau wird Mitglied im Unternehmensvorstand

The article is based on interviews of board members of German companies as part of a study conducted by the Bertelsmann Foundation. It examines the question how the sole female members tried to make themselves influential in the team. To succeed in making top management teams more diverse it is not enough to appoint a woman to a Board of Directors. She will only stay and contribute meaningfully if she is respected and can be influential. Considering the homogenity and exclusivity of German Boards this is no easy task. Also considered are obstacles and supporting conditions of the organisational context.     

Symbols of Organization: Informal Ways of Negotiating the Global and the Local in MNCs

Abstract In this article I build on the growing number of anthropological studies of businesses and explore the role that symbols play in the development of globalizing business networks. Transnational business people employ symbols not only to define boundaries between groups and develop collective solidarity but also to construct continuously changing networks between different social spaces and even, in the final analysis, between the concepts of global and local. The case study presented here focuses on the use of the symbols defining ‘German business style’ by the employees of a branch of a German bank in London as they interact with colleagues in the office, staff at their Frankfurt head office, and their clients and competitors. I conclude that, first, the use of symbols in social interaction is key to the negotiation of global and local spaces, and second, that, as the concepts of ‘global’ and ‘local’ spaces are themselves symbolic constructs, the drawing of distinctions between the two may be misleading.     

Business Collaboration within the Nazi War Machine: Corporations and the State in the Austrian Semiperiphery

The military strength of German National Socialism was based on the collaboration of large corporations with the Nazi state. Business provided capital, loans, taxes, managerial expertise and production for war industries. I elaborate four ideal‐typical modes of business collaboration. Each mode is illustrated by a case study of a German corporation that acquires an Austrian firm: Krupp (traditional mode); the Reichswerke state conglomerate (coercive); Deutsche Bank (managerial nationalist); and IG Farben (competitive investment mode). The first and the last modes occurred when the state was highly dependent on large businesses for the economic requisites of war. The acquired firms in the Austrian semiperiphery contributed to Nazi war mobilization, as they exploited labor and resources from the peripheral regions of southeastern Europe. Patterns of the state's resource dependency on business led to bargaining interactions between state and business, over time shaping the mix between state and private ownership of war industry.

Willy Sternfeld and exile studies in Great Britain

The mass migration from German‐speaking lands after 1933 has led to huge research projects, but the fate of the refugees in Britain has for long been neglected. The focus in this article on Wilhelm Sternfeld reveals that his career was exemplary. As a German refugee escaping to London, like so many others, by way of Prague, he became involved in many of the London refugee organizations. After 1945 he helped produce the first bio‐bibliography of exile literature. Exile Studies have been slow to start in Britain, but now Sternfeld's example is being followed at the London Research Centre for Exile Studies.     

Theorizing business power in the semiperiphery: Mexico 1970-2000

This study explains why the power of neoliberal business over the Mexican state increased during the last three decades of the twentieth century. It identifies three sources of increased neoliberal business power that occurred in conjunction with neoliberal reforms: (1) active mobilization by neoliberal business, (2) increased access to the state by neoliberal business, and (3) increased economic power of neoliberal business. It thereby contributes additional evidence that counters the view of Mexico’s state neoliberalizers as acting autonomously from business. It further outlines two conditions that were instrumental in bringing about the increased power of neoliberal business: the onset of economic crisis in the 1970s, and a shift in foreign capital preferences in Mexico. The analysis demonstrates how Mexico’s sources and conditions of business power differed from those in advanced industrial societies, and outlines why the Mexican case may be a good starting point for devising a historically-contingent theory of business power in the semiperiphery.

Globalisierung und Wandel internationaler Unternehmen

In the globalization discourse the relation between the change of companies as business organizations and the diagnosed overall globalization process often remains unclear. Three different analytic levels of this problem are distinguished: (1) the relation between globalization and company internationalization, (2) the relation between international companies as a whole and their internationally distributed units as sub-organizations and (3) the relation between the internationalization of companies and their overall change as companies. Based on the example of the German automobile industry three dominant research programs are revisited (international automobile research, sociology of organizations and management sociology on international companies) and the conceptual framework of company-(internationalization)profiles is presented. It is argued that the specific dynamics of the German Big Three Volkswagen, BMW and Mercedes-Benz in the 1990s has to be interpreted as the coincidence of fundamental changes in headquarters, plants and the international division of labor between them.
