A quest for form: the tacit dimension of social work practice

This paper presents the findings of a small-scale study of social workers’ tacit understandings. Tacit is conceptualised as, difficult to describe knowledge, taken for granted knowledge or tacitly presupposed and silenced knowledge. The sample comprised 10 social workers employed in a statutory child protection context who participated in three stages of data collection. The research strategy encompassed six techniques: in-depth interviewing, observation, think-aloud, unstructured interviewing, reflective recall, and knowledge mapping. The tacit domain appears to be a rich site for practice understandings, as what practitioners explicitly offer is not a complete account of their knowing in practice. Interpretations suggest that practice may be guided by understandings of which practitioners are frequently unaware. When knowledge remains implicit, its content, level of influence, impact and use remain unconsidered as well. It is crucial, in attempting to gain clarity on any practice activity, that this realm be explored as it contributes to a fuller account of the realities of practice behaviour.     

浅析我国房地产市场过热现象

近年来中国房地产市场越炒越热,房价一路水涨船高,且有继续上涨的趋势。很多人认为房地产市场存在过热现象。房价在近年来迅速上升的原因主要包括人们的收入水平普遍提高,城市化进程加快,土地成本和建筑成本的升高,金融政策比较宽松,人们对房价继续上升的预期,以及海外热钱的涌入。存在的问题主要是供求结构不合理,存在投机行为和金融隐患。建议采取加强土地管理,提高利率以及市场多元化等措施加以调控。     

人工物技术创造过程中的隐蔽场所理论

作者借鉴系统科学研究的方法,对人工物的技术创造过程及中心法则进行比较分析,指认二者为具有逻辑相应性的同态过程,以中心法则为技术创造的同态概念模型进行分析,反应出信息要素的表达在产品使用价值构成中的关键地位,进而揭示出使用价值的生成存在一个不同于产品制造的场所——一个在以往被忽略了的隐蔽场所。     

法律文本的矛盾--从英租威海卫时期的一份鞭刑文件说起

英租威海卫<1903年鞭笞规定法令>表达了一种深刻的矛盾,破解这一矛盾需要回到法律文本的历史语境中去,需要对文本背后的"二元法律"进行分析.威海鞭刑制度与香港及英国鞭刑制度有直接的血缘关系.把鞭刑问题与缠足问题联系起来,我们发现对某种恶的容忍并不是"二元法律"的必然后果,它来自威英当局对殖民统治的成本考虑.

Averting the rise of the dark side of social media: The role of sensitization and regulation

Social media have fundamentally influenced the way we live. Thus far, research has mainly focused on the ‘bright side’ of social media and the many advantages these platforms bring. More and more, however, research is also beginning to address the ‘dark side’ of social media. Dark side phenomena include cyberbullying, manipulation of elections, fear of missing out, social media addiction and the distribution of fake news. In this editorial for the management focus section of the European Management Journal, we propose two strategies (sensitizing and regulating) to manage this dark side of social media. Additionally, this editorial introduces the four articles included in this management focus section. We hope that the featured articles will help to encourage further research in this area.     

Compliance Strategies and Regulatory Effectiveness of Performance-Based Regulation of Chemical Accident Risks

This paper investigates the role that performance-based regulations can play in linking a firm's environmental, health, and safety concerns with their corporate strategy. The specific focus is on the performance standards required by the Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) which require firms that store or use certain chemicals to develop a Risk Management Plan (RMP) for reducing the likelihood and impact of accidents at their plants. Data from a series of case studies and interviews of executives in chemical firms reveal that proactive companies integrated many of the requirements of the CAAA into their management systems prior to the regulatory requirements. Most of these firms tend to be large ones. Small firms often lack the resources to implement these regulations and hence have tended to have a more difficult time with compliance.     

公用事业特许经营的政府监管研究

特许经营制度是公用事业市场化的主要实现形式,政府监管是公用事业特许经营法治化的重要内容。公用事业特许经营监管的基础是实现监管权的统一与独立。应从实体和程序两个方面完善特许权授予的监管。建立科学合理的价格模型及周期性审查和调整是公用事业特许经营价格监管的核心。公用事业特许经营质量监管的主要内容是督促建立内部质量管理制度、制定可量化的标准及建立质量检验体系。政府监管应推动公用事业的网络化普及、排除歧视性及完善补偿机制,以确保特许经营项目履行普遍服务。此外,必须加强对公用事业特许经营政府监管的监管制度建设。     

海岛妇女民间信仰活动的调查与思考

近年来,随着宗教自由政策的落实和文化多元化的发展,我国各地民间信仰的存在环境不断宽松,民间信仰活动也日趋活跃。浙江舟山地区民间信仰活动的发展也十分迅速,妇女已成为民间信仰活动的主体,其信仰活动的影响力已渗透到妇女生活的各个方面,在女性作出决策、进行人际交往和提高自身话语权等方面,都发挥着作用。海岛妇女民间信仰在现阶段的存在和活跃,虽然有一定的必然性和合理性,但作为较低级的一种文化现象,其负面效应也是相当明显的。关注海岛妇女的信仰活动状况,既有助于客观地认识妇女所面临的处境,也有利于相关部门做好对民间信仰的引导管理工作,实现民间信仰与社会主义主流价值观的协谐。     

Exploring the Importance of Business Clockspeed as a Moderator for Determinants of Supplier Network Performance*

As the importance of supplier networks becomes increasingly recognized as a vital factor to company performance, researchers and practitioners alike are focusing their attention on this subject. The study's main objective is to test the specific hypotheses that effective use of Information Technology (IT) and the depth of company relationships with suppliers are directly related to Supplier Network (SN) performance, and that industry clockspeed moderates these relationships. A convenience sample of 135 manufacturing organizations was used to empirically test these hypotheses. Our results indicate that clockspeed does moderate the relationship between IT use effectiveness and supplier network performance. The same is true in the case of supplier relations depth, and hence, managers are encouraged to pay attention to the items comprising network performance as a determinant of supplier network performance.
