Human resource practices of multinational organizations in Belgium

This study uses data from a survey of 117 large organizations located in Belgium to examine the relationship between corporate ownership and personnel practices. Results obtained from multivariate analyses supported the general hypothesis that personnel policies and practices vary as a function of ownership and nationality. For example, foreign-owned firms are found to be more advanced in their adoption of methods to gain employee loyalty and commitment than domestic enterprises. In addition to ownership effects, the moderating effects of some key organizational characteristics were examined. This shows that large differences exist with respect to the human resource practices used in firms as a function of management philosophy, creative strategy and industry sector.     

EC anti-dumping laws as a barrier to trade

Anti-dumping (AD) laws in the EC are intended to establish ‘fairness’ between trading partners. But there are negative effects, in particular, firms with weak firm specific advantages can shelter behind AD laws; they can even follow shelter-based strategies and lobby for protection.Alan Rugman and Michael Gestrin explain how shelter can be used as a management strategy, and how AD laws have grown up in the EC since 1979 to affect sectors of industry and geographic regions. They conclude by pointing out that a shelter-based strategy by a strong firm can undermine the very competitive pressures in its home market that made it internationally competitive in the first place.     

加入WTO对中国国有独资商业银行的影响与对策

中国金融业是一个众所注目的领域之一。而在中国金融业中,银行业更是一个焦点。随着我国正式加入WTO,《服务贸易总协定》(GATS)和新的金融服务协议(FSA)的规定要求我国金融市场将全面开放,其中包括开放银行业、允许外资银行在我国各地设立分支机构、外资银行与国内银行享有同等待遇等。同时,根据对等原则,我国在引进外国金融机构的同时也可以走出去,向海外发展。因此,“入世”给我国银行业带来了冲击和竞争的压力,同时,也给我国银行业提供了加快发展和参与国际竞争的良好机遇。

New contracts: The key to change

Successfully managing change in an organization is very difficult. Paul Strebel sets out a new way of doing this, based on contract theory which states that stakeholders have both an explicit and implicit individual contract with their companies. These contracts must be modified if corporate change is to proceed.The author develops five propositions about the role of contracts in change management. Change can only succeed if these five propositions are satisfied and the operational implications fully understood and implemented.

《1844年经济学--哲学手稿》的表层理论结构和深层理论的本质内容

<1844年经济学-哲学手稿>(以下简称<手稿>)因采用了从资本主义社会人的异化到共产主义社会人的复归的外在表述方式而留下了人道主义的残痕,但由于马克思当时基本实现了向唯物主义世界观和共产主义立场的转变,所以在<手稿>中运用了新的研究方法,这使<手稿>具有了历史唯物主义的深层理论结构.本文将通过对人道主义和<手稿>内容的具体分析来确证两者之间的本质差别,并进一步探究其中的新的研究方法.
