匹配与演化:企业战略柔性的两种模式

从战略管理理论的变迁探讨战略柔性的匹配与演化两种模式。匹配模式以传统战略为理论依据,强调企业依靠规划、定位、资源异质性等来应对环境的不稳定;演化模式则以复杂性科学理论为基础,强调自我选择和市场选择等多路径方式对环境的不稳定做出调整。     

An exploration of adopters' views regarding children's ages at the time of placement

This paper describes a project undertaken as part of a masters degree at Kingston University that looked at factors which influence adopters' decisions about the ages of children that they want to adopt. This subject is topical because currently many adoptive parents want to adopt very young children, but many of the children waiting for placements are older. Relevant literature is reviewed to place the project in context and to provide a theoretical perspective on adopters' decision-making on the preferred ages of children at the time of placement. The views of adopters and adoption social workers were sought using questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The majority of adopters who responded wanted to adopt children who were as young as possible. Adoption social workers who responded reported difficulties finding placements for older children. Data obtained suggests that the strategies designed to encourage adopters to consider adopting older children may have limited effect. In the conclusion, tentative suggestions are made about the implications of this project for adoption practice.     

Elaborating the Contingency Theory of Organizations: The Case of Manufacturing Flexibility Strategies

What determines which manufacturing flexibility strategies are feasible and which are not? In this paper, I build both theoretical and empirical understanding of task‐environmental contingencies that may either enable or constrain the selection of various flexibility strategies. The special emphasis is on the various plant‐level actions that are used to seek manufacturing flexibility. Demand uncertainty and variability, technology, and competitive strategy emerge as the most important contingencies, although not in ways that are immediately apparent. Finally, managerial implications at both the corporate as well as manufacturing unit levels are discussed.

产业结构对就业增长影响比较分析--边疆少数民族地区与东部发达地区的比较

从产业结构对就业增长影响的角度出发,分析第二、三产业与其就业增长关系和现状,发现边疆少数民族地区第二产业产值增长并没有促进该产业就业有效增长,第三产业产值就业弹性远比第二产业的大,第三产业已经成为整个国民经济增长拉动就业增长的主力军。同时还发现,第二产业发展虽然没有促进第二产业就业的有效增长,但是它拉动了第三产业就业的增长,并且第三产业就业的增长比东部发达地区更依赖第二产业的发展。所以,进一步深化经济体制改革和工业化依然是解决就业问题的根本。我们以一些地区的经济发展和就业增长为佐证,提出边疆少数民族地区在注重发展以文化产业为主的第三产业、以更快增加就业量解决就业问题的同时,也更应该根据各自的资源优势和区位优势发展第二产业,把资源优势和区位优势转化为经济优势,走具有边疆少数民族地区特色的工业化之路。

Work–Life Balance for Fathers in Globalized Knowledge Work. Some Insights from the Norwegian Context

This article takes as its point of departure the introduction of a new flexible time regime in parts of working life. There has been increased focus on how knowledge work in particular is developing into total commitment organizations where employees put in more and more time at work. Using two case studies from law and computing companies the article focuses on the organization of work and the organization of time in globalized knowledge organizations, and what effect this has on the time practices of male employees who are fathers. In the same period the Nordic countries have introduced state incentives and regulations that aim to help fathers achieve work–life balance. The article also discusses whether this is a fruitful policy, or whether fathers working in flexible time cultures need more deregulation, individual choice and flexible policy measures.
