Can former Soviet Union top managers of large industries become successful leaders of privatized corporations?

Management training as a facilitative process in organizational change is a complicated undertaking even in the most innovative companies in the West. The Russian context adds problems of cultural and management unfamiliarity with the socio-business and the political environment within which Western management trainers operate. In the early 1990s 180 Russian senior managers from four large state corporations participated in a training-needs analysis, which was to estimate the level of knowledge of how market economy concepts work in the West. They were asked to 1) state their organization's training objectives, 2) indicate their understanding of the process, and 3) indicate the level of their personal ownership in carrying out the training objectives. The results showed that Russian top industrial management had no experience of top decisionmaking processes, and individually they felt disorientated by the collapse of the former Soviet Union. Their historical understanding of their professional roles and distrust of the present changes left them demotivated and without any constructive personal aspirations. By 1998, after a period of focusing solely on financial auditing training, large Russian companies began to be interested in management training and development programmes. These findings have some basic cultural implications for Western trainers working with Russian management.

Self-representations in Early Adolescence: Variations in Sibling Similarity by Sex Composition and Sibling Relationship Qualities

Self-representations play an important role in adolescent development. This study compared self-representations for siblings and explored whether sibling relationship characteristics are associated with similarities or differences in sibling self-concepts. We examined self-representations of 438 adolescent sibling dyads ( M age younger sibling  =  11.6 years, M age older  =  14.3 years), finding that siblings are, on average, similar in their self-representations. This similarity varied, however, depending on sex composition and sibling relationship qualities. Results indicated that sibling modeling, warmth, and conflict were especially influential in predicting sibling resemblance vs. dissimilarity.     

税收概念的法理探析

税是一国存在的经济基础,在现代社会国家与人民之间的关系主要体现为税收关系。税收概念中蕴含着丰富的法理,社会契约理论是税的发生学基础,税的事物本质可以概括为：财产权优先于税、纳税人与政府地位平等、税收目的的公共性等。在当代,对于税收法律关系的性质,＂税收债务关系说＂已成为税法学界通说并为法治国家税收实践所践行。因此,从公共物品到公共财政是税的必然逻辑,政府的财政行为应以公共利益和为社会提供公共服务为依归,不能只是从政府的财政需要出发,单纯凭借政府的垄断地位和权力强制性地向社会提取。

论毛泽东民生思想的内在气质及其当代价值

毛泽东的民生思想是以毛泽东为代表的中国共产党在领导中国人民进行新民主主义革命、社会主义革命和建设的过程中,把马克思列宁主义的民生理论系统地、创造性地运用于中国革命和社会主义建设所形成的独具中国特色的思想。毛泽东民生思想高度重视民生,尊重人民群众是民生主体的历史地位,在革命和建设实践中重视改善民生的制度建设。中国特色的社会主义理论体系继承和发展了毛泽东的民生思想。毛泽东的民生思想对于处理和谐社会中人的发展和各项建设的关系仍具有指导意义。
