How to be Modern: New Labour's Neoliberal Modernity and the Change for Children programme

In England the New Labour administration is seeking to embeda ‘transformational reform agenda’ within children’sservice. Social workers, among others appear, however, to bewary of the agenda which is now rhetorically rooted in the EveryChild Matters: Change for Children programme (CfC). The mainsocial work practice elements of this programme are associatedwith the introduction of a Children’s Index, a multidisciplinaryCommon Assessment Framework and the role of Lead Professional.In terms of the promotion of this programme, the governmenthas maintained that the focal aim is to create a ‘modern’children’s workforce. However, the entire ‘transformationalagenda’ can be interpreted as reflecting New Labour’sneoliberal modernity. This is particularly apparent in the termsof the ideas associated with ‘flexibility’ whichare so central to the CfC programme.     

John A. Buzacott and His Pioneering Contributions to Manufacturing and Service Systems

John A. Buzacott is a pioneering and premier contributor to the field of production and operations management. He has been a principal architect of the development of a unified framework and a rigorous engineering foundation for many of the major approaches currently used in the design, planning, and control of manufacturing and service systems. His innovative use of stochastic models to explain many phenomena occurring in manufacturing and service organizations has distinguished him not only as a great researcher but also as a great teacher. His contributions have inspired scholars throughout the world. We provide an overview of John's research works and accomplishments.     

Looking at spillover from both sides: an examination of work and home flexibility and permeability

This study examined how flexibility and permeability in the boundaries surrounding the work and home domains affect the spillover from work to home and home to work. We looked at both flexibility and permeability in each of the two domains using directional and dichotomous measures of both negative and positive spillovers. Multivariate analyses and hierarchical regression showed that for 362 survey respondents, boundary flexibility reduced time- and strain-based spillover from work to home and home to work. Flexibility also was positively related to positive spillover from home to work. Permeability, on the other hand, was positively related to time-based spillover from work to home and from home to work. The results also showed support for the notion of asymmetric permeability, such that the relationships between work boundary permeability and the W→H spillovers were stronger than those between home boundary permeability and the H→W spillovers.     

The impact of modular platforms on automobile manufacturing networks

This paper explores the impact on automobile manufacturing networks of adopting modular platforms to replace the standard platforms used to date. Analysis of European manufacturers’ production networks shows that the use of modular architecture improves coordination by increasing manufacturing mobility and thriftiness ability. The changes resulting from this new modular approach also allow manufacturing capacity to be reorganised and overcapacity to be partially eliminated. From the point of view of production systems, the adaptation of manufacturing processes and facilities to this new architecture should aim to increase flexibility by integrating production around a single platform, allowing for different dimensions and for a larger number of models to be produced in a single plant.     

The Role of Gender in Varying Forms of Flexible Working

In this article we present empirical data from a research study investigating the implementation of the flexible working policies that emanate from the improving working lives standard in a National Health Service Trust in the UK. We argue that gender is accorded insufficient focus in the literature, considering the barriers that create a take‐up gap in formal flexible working practices. We further argue that gendered perceptions render unworkable attempts to portray flexible working as a gender‐neutral issue and demonstrate that such perceptions mean that formal mechanisms for flexible working continue to be considered to be a women's issue. We present data on informal flexible working mechanisms and suggest that a greater focus on combining these mechanisms with formal flexibility may help provide working time flexibility for a greater proportion of the workforce.     

基于未确知测度模型的组织柔性评价研究

环境不确定性的存在要求企业具有足够的组织系统柔性。文章通过分析组织处理不确定性的过程及组织资源、结构及所处的环境等方面,构建了组织柔性的评价体系,并利用粗集对评价指标进行约简,然后用未确知测度模型对组织柔性进行评价,通过实证分析证明了该方法的有效性。最后根据评价结果,比较不同组织系统柔性的好坏,并提出提高柔性的建议及对策。     

大批量定制实施中的若干问题研究

大批量定制是基于顾客需求、向顾客提供个性化产品的一种先进制造技术。如何低成本快速地向顾客交付高质量产品、满足顾客个性化需求是大批量定制要解决的关键问题。定制产品和生产过程的设计与定制产品的生产组织是大批量定制实施的关键要素。研究表明,大批量定制的设计问题与顾客早期参与以及产品和生产过程的模块化密切相关,可以通过这两种方法予以解决;生产组织是大批量定制的实现过程,直接影响定制产品的成本、质量和交货期,可以通过提高企业基础管理水平、平顺物流、增加生产系统柔性和敏捷性以及实行过程控制和标准化操作等措施对大批量定制的生产组织进行改进。     

地方大学二级学院学生管理工作模式研究

学生管理工作在大学人才培养工作中占有重要的地位。学生管理工作模式一定要体现以学生为本,全面、科学、和谐发展的思想,要从传统的、单一的、生硬的"刚性"管理模式,向现代的、和谐的、人性化的以"柔性疏导为主,刚性管理为辅"的管理模式转变。在学生管理过程中,要科学处理"刚性"管理和"柔性"管理的关系;管理、教育、服务的关系;他律与自律的关系,从而实现管理模式的与时俱进与创新。     

论毛泽东的哲学睿智与新中国的对外战略

毛泽东同志是新中国对外方针政策的主要奠基者。毛泽东外交战略思想及其实践内容丰富、博大精深,蕴涵着深刻的辩证法,是独立自主原则性和策略灵活性的统一。毛泽东外交政策集中反映在既始终不渝地坚持独立自主的原则性,又不断根据形势的变化,从我国的基本国情和国际力量对比的现实出发,调整、确定我国的外交战略,表现出极大的灵活性。
