Determinants of Organizational Flexibility: A Study in an Emerging Economy

This paper examines the processes of organizational adaptation and competitiveness of firms in an emerging economy. The study is set in the Argentinian context of the 1990s when a combination of economic and political change triggered a massive change in the competitive context of indigenous firms. Two highly flexible firms and two less‐flexible firms are studied from the pharmaceutical and edible oil industries and longitudinal data are supplied to explore the determinants of organizational flexibility in those organizations.     

需求解析与隐性需求的界定

目前,营销学中关于需求概念与营销导向的研究成为学者日益关注的领域。本文通过文献分析,从信息经济和价值感知两方面描述阐释了需求研究的相关成果;并通过实证分析,发现企业营销倾向在经历了产品导向、服务导向与关系导向的演变之后,需求导向的重要性不断提升。由此,本文界定了隐性需求的内涵,探讨了隐性需求研究对于拓展营销学研究视野的理论价值和实际意义。     

Institutional Fleecing: The Slow Death of Dutch Provinces

Many theories on organizational change depart from the assumption of change for the better, that is, change in order to gain a stronger position in relation to its competitors, to become more effective or efficient, or at least to improve the organization. It is our idea that the theories developed on this basis are biased. Contrasting to this dominant approach, this article gives a longitudinal analysis of the development in an organization in decline. It is directed at explaining the downfall of a Dutch province. In the medieval empire of Charlemagne it was one of the most powerful duchies of Europe. Later it became one of the seven provinces in the powerful Dutch Republic, and nowadays it has lost nearly all its tasks and functions. Departing from neo-institutional theory this paper seeks the major causes for this downfall and specifies some of the relations in the theoretical model of punctuated equilibrium. It concludes that the historical institutional dynamics can be seen as a self-enforcing process in which punctuations can be explained by the increasing distance between individual preferences within the organization, and the pressures originating from developments in the environment.Dr. M.S. de Vries is professor in Public Administration at the Radboud University Nijmegen.

论颜延之对陆机诗歌的接受

颜延之与陆机诗歌渊源深厚,在多种诗体上模拟陆机,包括公宴诗、赠答诗、行旅诗和乐府诗.他接受陆机诗歌表现在三个方面:第一,追求辞藻对偶,重视语句出处,形成典雅文风;第二,善于描写景物,烘托环境氛围,表达家国之悲;第三,运用仕宦意象,刻画游子形象,抒发羁旅之思.颜延之充分吸纳了陆机诗歌的艺术技巧,注重隶事用典,讲究结构布局,诗歌趋于人工化、精密化,引领了南朝一代诗风,在陆机接受史上占有重要地位.     

提升高校学术期刊国际影响力的路径简析

高校学术期刊是衡量一个国家科技创新水平和综合国力的重要标志。在信息技术革新不断加深的今天,提升高校学术期刊国际影响力既是适应时代发展的需要,也是促进国家文化软实力发展的需要。目前,我国高校学术期刊存在着英文期刊数量偏少、中文期刊质量参差不齐、对论文质量把控不严等问题,国际影响力难以有效提升。为了不断提升期刊的国际影响力,我国高校学术期刊需要做到：积极参与国家重点项目,获得国家政策的有效支持;通过外引内联提升国际知名度,努力吸引优秀的国际论文;严把论文质量关,提供高质量高水平的学术论文;与新媒体合作,共享最新科研成果。只有这样,我国高校学术期刊才能不断提高自身学术质量,积极参与国际学术交流,实现期刊国际影响力的有效跃升。

正本清源：重审游戏精神

“游戏精神”是游戏的灵魂,然而也是一个歧义诸多、意义模糊的概念。由于对这一概念理解上的不明晰,导致当今关于“如何以游戏精神启发实践”的诸多探讨缺乏共同前提,从而阻碍“游戏精神”在教育实践中建构独立的自我生长空间、焕发其自给自足的生命力。在此意义上,作者从游戏精神与游戏的关系、游戏精神的意蕴重审两方面重新审视游戏精神的应然状态,试图为游戏精神“正本清源”。     

多重制度逻辑与产业扶贫项目的异化 ——组织场域的视角

作为扶贫开发的重要途径,产业扶贫在实践过程中常常出现瞄不准或瞄准了但效果不突出的情形,组织场域为揭示其中的奥秘提供了有益视角。Y村的案例表明,在产业扶贫的组织场域内,地方政府与烟草公司在各自领域制度环境的制约下对自身参与产业扶贫的行为作出适应性的调整,改变了产业扶贫场域内的资讯交换渠道与资源传递方式,进而形成了组织行为主体参与产业扶贫的隐形运行逻辑。循此逻辑,非正式权力与利益的勾连固化了组织行为主体的权力关系与场域位置,扶贫资源经由村委会与合作社的承接更多流向村干部及种植大户等村庄精英群体,贫困农户则处于边缘位置。组织场域内中心--边缘关系结构的形成最终导致产业扶贫实践中制度表达与项目实践的背离。     

Internalized Other Interviewing in Relational Therapy: Three Discursive Approaches to Understanding its Use and Outcomes

For over 20 years, family therapist Karl Tomm has been engaging families and couples with a therapeutic intervention he calls Internalized Other Interviewing (IOI). The IOI (cf. Emmerson‐Whyte, 2010; Hurley, 2006) entails interviewing clients, from the personal experiences of partners and family members as an internalized other. The IOI is based on the idea that through dialogues over time, one can internalize a sense of one's conversational partner responsiveness in reliably anticipated ways. Anyone who has thought in a conversation with a family member or partner, “Oh there s/he goes again,” or anticipates next words before they leave the other's mouth, has a sense of what we are calling an internalized other. For Tomm, the internalized anticipations partners and family members may have offers entry points into new dialogues with therapeutic potential—particularly, when their actual dialogues get stuck in dispreferred patterns.     

Problem‐ and solution‐focused characteristics of parenting support, 3 years after implementation of the solution‐focused approach: A qualitative content analysis

In recent years, solution‐focused parenting support has been developed and implemented as a promising brief and strength‐based approach. Given the fundamental differences between solution‐focused and the historically more common problem‐focused parenting support and the complexity of transforming professional practice, an actual shift towards solution‐focused parenting support can be expected to be limited up to now. However, because research into the specific communication characteristics of professional parenting support is currently lacking, no conclusion can be drawn at present. Therefore, this study aims to explore the current problem‐ and solution‐focused characteristics of parenting support in the Dutch youth healthcare (YH). In total, 15 support sessions performed by 10 public health nurses were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. A detailed qualitative content analysis of professional communication was conducted to identify problem‐ and solution‐focused factual, expressive, relational and appealing aspects of parenting support. Problem‐focused characteristics dominated all sessions of parenting support. This study is the first to thoroughly analyse the problem‐focused and solution‐focused communication characteristics of professional parenting support using a qualitative content analysis. Parenting support practice in the Dutch YH did not shift substantially to a solution‐focused approach. More effort is required to stimulate and facilitate this professional transformation.
