The impact of social power and influence on the implementation of innovation strategies: A case study of a UK mega infrastructure construction project

Influence plays a key role in reaching consensus among multiple actors involved in project-based decision-making processes. While prior literature devotes considerable attention to describing influence, little attention has been paid to influence at the individual level of the strategic project manager within the context of megaprojects. This research intended to fill this knowledge gap by identifying and describing the influence strategies that a strategic project manager applies when implementing innovation strategies on megaprojects. A qualitative case study was used to examine the complex social processes involved in a major UK capital investment programme. The findings underline a critical subset of influence strategies, notably higher-management support, inspirational appeal and bargaining. The study proposes a utilitarian structure of social power comprising selective, supportive and executory power bases.     

虎鲨对温度、pH值的耐受性研究

本文报道了在LRH-250E型培养箱中对平均尾重0.2g和1.2g的虎鲨进行温度耐受性试验,并对均重1.2g的虎鲨做了pH耐受性研究。结果表明:尾重O.2g的虎鲨在驯化温度为20℃时,水温突变引起的致死高温为41℃,致死低温为14℃;尾重1.2g虎鲨在驯化温度为24℃时,水温突变引起的致死高温是42℃,致死低温为14.5℃。尾重1.2g虎鲨能够耐受的pH值其上限是11.51,下限是2.52。     

中日城市供水系统静态效率的对比研究

文章运用DEA方法，评价了北京、东京、上海以及横滨等城市2003年-2005年间供水系统的静态效率，发现日本三个城市供水系统的效率要高于中国三个城市的效率，造成这种状况的原因主要在于中国的水价体系还不够完善，供水企业收益不能完全回收其成本。     

Household strategies in the face of resource scarcity in coastal Ghana: are they associated with development priorities?

In many developing regions, women and young girls spend several hours daily in the collection of natural resources. Still the link between these household resource strategies and stakeholder perceptions of development priorities remains unexplored. This project examines this association with survey data representative of the adult population from Ghana’s Coastal Region. Although natural resource scarcity and the sustainability of resource use represent key development challenges, there are others (e.g., energy, sanitation, employment, and educational opportunities). As such, even in the face of natural resource scarcity, individuals may place greater importance on other dimensions of development, especially if household resource strategies are perceived as relatively efficient. The analytical focus here is on water and the results suggest that gender roles shape household water collection strategies, while also shaping these strategies’ perceived opportunity costs. Specifically, Ghanian adults more often see drinking water provision as their primary development need when water sources are distant and/or when male household members collect water (particularly male heads). In the end, I argue that social science inquiry benefits by contextualizing social dynamics within environmental context, particularly within cultural settings in which human subsistence is intimately tied to the state of the natural environment.     

关于我国水权法律制度的思考

水权的涵义和性质是近年来法学界关注的热点问题,目前我国学者对水权的内涵和性质都没有统一的看法,文章通过对水权内涵的界定,认为水权是一种用益物权。在此基础上分析了我国现行水资源法律制度的缺陷,并提出了完善我国水权法律制度的建议。

合作型研发项目的研究范式探微——以人类基因组计划为例

人类基因组计划是一项国际大科学计划,其科学价值和经济价值不言而喻,更重要的是它突破了原有的研究框架,以一种系统的方法论理念和战略思维方式,开创了全新的研究范式。作为21世纪科学研究的前沿和富有挑战性的重大课题,人类基因组计划的研究范式代表了今后日趋复杂的科学技术项目研究的趋势,对此进行研究具有非常重要的意义。     

太湖地区水利工程与环境生态

太湖流域水利建设取得了一定的成绩,然而水利工程对该流域的水情、水质、渔业及地方病等也带来若干环境生态问题。所以应该重视水利工程环境影响评价和运用管理,及对水域环境生态指标考核等工作。     

潘金莲:从《水浒传》到《金瓶梅》

《金瓶梅》的故事框架是从《水浒传》第22回到第31回中移植过来,又加进了作者天才的创造。细比较二书对于同一人物的描写,有助于对《金瓶梅》作者的创作初衷、《金瓶梅》一书主题等方面的探究。文章选用潘金莲作为剖析的材料,发现存在诸多差异,而且这种差异正与二书的主题、表现重点各有不同等息息相关。
