Wer das Stabilisieren vergisst: Warum eine schöne Abschlusspräsentation noch kein gutes Ende bedeutet

Many organizational change projects fail — despite a well thought out concept, professional project management and a binding implementation timetable. The reason why the expected success doesn’t materialize often lies with the missing maintenance. Once the project is officially completed and the client and project manager withdraw, the manner in which the organization will take up these changes is seldom systematically dealt with. Difficulties often arise when no discrete stabilizing measures are planned. We have derived four central action areas which will be clarified by way of practical examples. It will also be shown what is important to pay attention to in the stabilization phase so that a lasting success of the organizational change project can be ensured.     

Consumption and Saving Behavior of Older and Younger Baby Boomers in Korea

The 1998 Korean Survey of Family Income and Expenditures was used to examine the overall consumption and saving behavior of Korean baby boomers and compared the differences in consumption and saving behavior between older and younger boomers. The t -test results indicated that the younger boomers allocated a significantly higher percentage of their expenditures on food away from home, household appliances, transportation and communication than did the older boomers, whereas the older boomers spent higher amounts and allocated larger budget shares on their children's education than did the younger boomers. The results of Ordinary Least-Squares (OLS) regression analysis showed that, holding other factors constant, older boomers not only spent significantly more in the total consumption expenditures and education expenditures, but older boomers also saved significantly less than did younger boomers.     

Privatization of refuse removal and labor costs

We examine the labor-cost savings associated with privatization by comparing earnings and employment trends of public and private sector refuse workers. Findings suggest that high union earnings for workers in the public sector are a source of labor-cost savings in the refuse industry. Evidence on job changers does not indicate that earnings for this group of workers are a compensating differential. Metropolitan area employment findings suggest that municipalities are less likely to use union refuse workers in the public sector when a relatively small percentage of area residents belong to a union. The authors thank Jacqueline Agesa, Keith Bender, Maria Crawford, and Richard Perlman for valuable suggestions. Research assistance from Eric Blackburn is greatly appreciated.     

Deposit Insurance,Institutions, and Bank Interest Rates

Many recent institutional reforms of the financial system have relied on the introduction of an explicit scheme of deposit insurance. This instrument aims at two main targets, contributing to systemic stability and protecting depositors. However, it may also affect the interest rate spread in the banking system, which can be viewed as an indicator of either inefficiency or market power in this financial segment. This paper provides an empirical investigation of the effect of deposit insurance and other institutional and economic variables on bank interest rates across countries. We find that deposit insurance increases the lending–deposit spread in banking. The main effect seems to arise not from the deposit side though, but from an increase in the lending rate. We interpret this result as evidence of the presence of moral hazard problems related to this instrument. We also find that higher quality of institutions is associated with lower spreads, thus contributing to eroding sources of market power in the banking sector.     

会计信息可靠性与相关性的产权博弈分析

从产权经济学角度对会计信息的产权属性进行分析,把会计信息的产权主体定位为所有的信息使用者,认为会计信息的产权主体与会计信息质量特征之间存在密切关系。不同产权主体之间为有利于自身的信息进行博弈,可靠性和相关性孰轻孰重取决于各方在博弈中的力量对比。最后,文章提出重构会计信息市场、实现可靠性和相关性协调发展的若干对策。     

数值解法中的单元形状函数技巧

本文介绍从一组互不相关的函数中推导数值法中单元形状函数的简便而有效的算法,以特定的一维内插方法导出各种二维、三维的内插方法,它们对奇异性的模拟是有益的;为了适用于延伸到无限远的单元,假设形状函数类似于Lagrange多项式,但包含了一个按指数衰减的项。     

酚酞型聚醚砜膜的制备与性能研究

本文利用水相沉淀聚合法成功地合成了丙烯腈(AN)-(二丙烯酰胺基)-二甲基丙烷磺酸(AM PS)共聚物,然后将其作为添加剂制备酚酞型聚醚砜膜,并进一步研究了添加剂用量对膜通量,膜截留率以及膜形态的影响.研究表明,随着添加剂用量的增加(从0到5%),膜在100 kPa下的水通量从230 L/m2.hr下降到125 L/m2.hr,对PEG 35000的截留率分别从0.5528增加到0.75.另外,利用场发射电子显微镜观察了膜断面,发现随着PAN-co-AM PS含量的增加,膜表皮层逐渐变厚,指状孔逐渐减少.     

略谈李煜词的叙事性特征

李煜的词作中叙事完整,叙述场景的空间有限,叙述话语独特。词人以内焦点叙述方式将叙事性和抒情性有机地整合起来,通过特定的场景和简单的因果情节,成功地塑造了自我形象,重构了感人至深的话语世界。     

融贯中西与古今文化诗学的意象体系——鲁迅诗歌意象的类型分析

意象是诗歌的生命。鲁迅诗歌使用了大量的审美意象,融贯中西与古今文化诗学,形成了自己独立的体系。鲁迅诗歌意象为六种类型,以三组对立的形态出现,即:历史性意象/现实性意象;东方意象/西方意象;社会性意象/人化自然的意象。这些意象的使用,昭示了鲁迅忧国忧民的伟大人格,并形成鲁迅自己独特的诗风。同时,他的诗歌与我国传统诗歌相比较,具有鲜明的现代性,与后起的新诗相比,又具有深厚的传统文化诗学的底蕴。
