人力资源开发与高校办学定位

教育是人力资源开发的主导形式,高校办学定位直接影响着人才培养的类型和规格。适应科学技术的发展和社会经济增长方式的转变,高校办学定位必须与时俱进,不断调整和革新。在当前和今后相当长一段时间,高师院校必须走“以师为本、综合发展”之路。

Piloting a social work doctoral programme: Ukraine’s vignette

In Ukraine the last decade was marked by significant changes in social work education development that evidence its academization and professionalization. International cooperation was a useful catalyst in these processes. The above has specific implications for developing the three cycles of social work education in Ukraine – Bachelor, Master and PhD programmes. Implemented in 2009–2012, an international project involving six European countries supported piloting of the first PhD programme in social work in Ukraine. This programme encountered a set of challenges that originated from the particularities of social work education in Ukraine and the broader academic context. Participatory observations and reflections demonstrate the challenges evident in Global North–Global South professional relations. Ukrainian social work education history evidences permanent localization of the international standards and experiences that have had various effects on social work academization.     

Culture, state and varieties of capitalism: a comparative study of life insurance markets in Hong Kong and Taiwan

This article examines the interplay between local culture, the state, and economic actors' agency in producing variation across markets. I adopt a political-cultural approach to examining why life insurance has been far more popular in Taiwan than Hong Kong, despite the presence of a cultural taboo on the topic of premature death in both societies. Based on interview data and documentary references, the findings reveal that as an independent state, the Taiwanese government heavily protected domestic insurance firms during their emergence. These domestic firms adopted a market-share approach by re-defining the concept of life insurance to accommodate the local cultural taboo. The colonial Hong Kong government, on the other hand, adopted laissez-faire policies that essentially favoured foreign insurance firms. When faced with the tension between local adaptation and the profitability of the business, these foreign firms chose the latter. Their reluctance to accommodate local cultures, however, resulted in a smaller market. I argue that state actions mediate who the dominant economic players are and that the nature of the dominant players affects the extent of localization. Specifically, the presence of competitive domestic players alongside transnational corporations is more likely to produce varieties of capitalism.     

‘America’ in Indian Advertising: Change and Impact

The aims of this article are threefold: One, to focus on the advertising and marketing communications situating the presence of the USA in India. Two, to address three issues concerning the where, how, and impact dimensions of marking the US presence in Indian advertising. In that process an attempt will be made to integrate three aspects of advertising, namely: marketing, media, and linguistics. Three, to account for US corporate culture as it manifests itself in advertising. Central to our discussion are two product types: consumer products (e.g. Coke, Pepsi, Kellogg’s cereals, or Cadbury’s chocolates) and socially-sensitive, or ‘taboo’, products (e.g. condoms, alcohol, and breath fresheners).     

从“时势造”到“造时势”:印度英语探究

金融社会学的中国传统——对费孝通农村金融研究的阐释与重构

费孝通的很多著作被视为社会学和人类学的经典,而得到了学界充分的研究,但是他在农村金融方面的成果,却长期未得到应有的重视。通过对其相关著作的阐释与重构,将他的理论视角概括为“综合嵌入观”。费孝通的很多研究具有金融社会学方面的意义,可以对今天的研究提供指导和借鉴。他的一些具体结论可能已经过时,但是他分析问题的思路和研究方法,却仍是今天金融社会学研究的本土化学术资源。     

拿来之后——期待可能性本土化之思考

期待可能性理论有坚实的哲学和法理基础,在关注人性、体现刑法谦抑性和发挥刑罚功能等方面具有强大的理论吸引力,但是也存在对罪刑法定原则可能构成潜在危害,对法官素质具有较高要求,对完善的配套法律制度较为依赖等问题。因此,引进该理论应当慎重,应当在明确该理论在中国犯罪构成中的地位、在中国刑法和刑法理论中的功能,并设置相应的程序保障后再予以适用。     

人力资源管理理论本土化问题论析——基于高校人力资源管理学科教学的思考

目前,人力资源管理学科发展面临的一个突出问题,是如何促使人力资源管理理论的本土化。解决这个问题,要将西方的理论、观点、方法与中国的历史文化、客观实际相结合,经过消化、吸收、改造、创新,从而建立起一套科学系统、具有自身特点的人力资源管理理论、观点和方法。要消化、吸收、改造西方的管理理论、观点、方法,必须以对本国的历史文化传统和相关理论的深入研究、深刻理解、全面把握为基础。同时,对于改革开放以来我国企事业单位自身实践中形成的人力资源管理与开发的思想、方法,更应当注重研究、提炼和总结。建立本土化的人力资源管理理论,是一种精神生产活动,这就需要建立起一支高素质的从事这种精神生产活动的队伍。
