The application of a performance management system in hospitals: A hypothetical example

Abstract

The central theme of this article is performance management, defined as activities of organizations aimed at an effective and efficient use of their human resources. The organization focused on in particular is the hospital. Three principles taken from motivation theory are dealt with which are basic to performance management: goal setting, feedback and reinforcement. Next, a recently developed procedure (Pritchard 1990, Pritchard et al. 1988, 1989) for the design of performance management systems is described. This procedure, ProMES: Productivity Measurement and Enhancement Systems, is explained using a team of ward nurses as a hypothetical example. In addition to the nursing wards example, other potential applications of the ProMES technique to several hospitals areas are mentioned. Finally, some conditions that should be fulfilled in order to successfully start a ProMES project are discussed.

A Business Model Innovation Typology

An effective business model is the core enabler of any company's performance. Business model innovation is not only becoming more and more important due to increasing and globalizing competition, but also an enormous challenge, both theoretically and practically. Although many managers are eager to consider more disruptive changes to their business model, they often do not know how to articulate their existing or desired business model and, even less so, understand the possibilities for innovating it. One of the steps toward developing more theoretical insight and practical guidelines is the identification of types and the development of a typology of business model innovations. Ten retrospective case studies of business model innovations undertaken by two industrial companies provide the empirical basis for this article. We analyzed the characteristics of these innovations as well as their success rates. The findings suggest that there are indeed various business model innovation types, each with its own characteristics and challenges.     

对历史以及历史认识的再思考?

什么是历史以及历史认识是否可信,一直是史坛争论的焦点。《说文解字》、《中国历史研究法》、《史学导论》都分别做出了自己的解答。而事实上,过去的一切皆为史;而历史认识也只是相对真理,历史实际的纷繁复杂性、史料的不完整性和待考究性以及历史认识的主体性,都决定了不能完全认识历史。但历史认识仍然具有不可替代的价值。

理性极限及其突破断想

思维具有历史的特征.而理性思维只是人类思维的一个阶段.因此,理性思维及与之相对应的理性哲学都无法超越自身的历史局限.理性哲学缺失与当下生活的对应的根本原因就在于理性极限.而理性的偏见与虚妄的悲剧价值预设正是这种极限的表现.打破理性极限的前提是将理性还原于历史中并具体列出突破理性哲学的叙述方案.     

从人到历史——杨争光论

杨争光早期作品以好看的故事书写命运,探索人性,后期作品寻求历史的明晰和深刻。转型增强了作品的厚度,但却削弱了人性探索的深度,尤其忽视了女性意愿。这和作家自觉意识的推动以及时代语境的影响有联系。如何在自我突破中保持相对连贯性和复杂性,是作家面临的困惑。
