高职院校图书馆必须面对许多由于内部环境和外部环境的变化而形成的对其自身生存和发展造成威胁的现实危机和潜在危机，因此，有必要构建高职院校图书馆危机管理预防平台。高职院校图书馆危机管理预防平台的构建至少包括培养危机意识、建立危机预控防范体系、建立图书馆危机管理预警数字信息系统、建立图书馆危机防范支持体系等四个方面。     

高校图书馆危机管理之分级模式

高校图书馆危机管理的能力与成效直接关系到图书馆服务的质量及声誉,甚至关系到学校的整体形象。本文根据危机的强度与频度对高校图书馆的危机进行分级,并制定相应的预警和对策,为高校图书馆危机管理提供了一个全新的管理模式。     

图书馆危机管理及其对策研究

图书馆危机具有长期性、复合型、难恢复性以及隐蔽性的特点,因而图书馆危机管理工作是一项长期而艰巨的任务,我们只有充分认识图书馆危机的含义、类型,并制定科学有效的图书馆危机管理计划和对策,才能更好地规避风险,提升图书管管理工作的成效。本文就上述问题进行了探讨,以期为图书馆危机管理的研究和时间做出一定的借鉴。     

基于情景规划的企业危机管理

一、防范危机重于处理危机 企业危机管理系指组织针对危机的发展阶段作不同的因应管理措施.企业危机管理一般可分为防范危机、处理危机、事后完善等三个紧密相连、环环相扣的环节.在三个环节中,防范危机是重点,避免危机发生是最理想的管理效果,即使无法避免至少也可做到未雨绸缪、从容应对.危机管理的目标在于避免、减少危机的危害,乃至将危机转化为机会.危机爆发后的危机管理,往往只不过是尽可能减少一些损失,很难挽回危机造成的重大危害;如果一个正在发生的小型危机没有得到有效处理,就可能演变成恶性的大危机.国外许多专家的研究成果表明,危机的发生和恶化更多的是源于企业决策者的战略远见和目标管理问题,而并非危机发生后的处理能力.这就要求企业危机管理把防范放在首位,防范危机重于处理危机,前瞻性的危机防范是成本最低廉的危机管理方式.

在现代教育中,人们越来越重视高校教育。而图书馆作为高校教育中最重要的组成部分之一,也逐渐受到越来越多的重视。由于近年来高校不断扩招,大学校园中的学生和教职工数量越来越多,对于高校图书馆服务要求自然也就越来越高。高校图书馆在管理中难免会因为繁重的工作而出现一些问题。为了能有效地减少高校图书馆中的问题,就必须做好高校图书馆危机管理工作,认清高校图书馆危机管理工作的意义,明确高校图书馆管理中通常都存在哪些危机类型,并且寻找相应的应对策略,才能够让高校图书馆管理工作更为出色,使图书馆为高校师生提供更全面周到的服务。     

图书馆危机管理的重要意义、制度缺陷和应对策略

图书馆作为社会信息服务机构,在其自身发展过程中,由于社会环境和图书馆自身存在的问题,要求我们必须强化图书馆危机意识,重视图书馆的危机管理。     

浅谈企业危机管理

文章首先分析了企业管理的误区,并提出危机爆发前的预防管理措施.然后,文章着重对处理企业危机管理的原则、措施、对策进行了深入论述.     

危机管理

所谓危机管理,就是企业为应付各种危机情景所进行的规划决策、动态调整、化解处理、员工训练等活动的过程,其目的在于消除或降低危机所带来的威胁.危机管理奉行"危机不仅意味着威胁、危险,更意味着机遇"的积极的行为准则.危机管理具有不确定性、应急性和预防性三大特征.由于危机爆发后往往给企业带来重大的经济损失和形象伤害,处理不当甚至会导致企业倒闭,因此,国外不少大公司均将目光投向危机管理.     

Incumplimiento del salario mínimo en Europa central y oriental

En este estudio se analiza el incumplimiento del salario mínimo durante el periodo 2003–2012 en diez países de Europa central y oriental con salario mínimo obligatorio nacional. A partir de los datos de EU‐SILC y la metodología propuesta por Bhorat, Kanbur y Mayet (2013), se cuantifica la incidencia y magnitud del incumplimiento. Se realizan análisis de regresión sobre determinantes individuales, laborales y macroeconómicos. Aunque la incidencia permanece relativamente baja, los trabajadores a los que se dirigen las políticas de salario mínimo parecen los más expuestos a su incumplimiento. Con el tiempo, una mayor incidencia se asocia a una razón más alta entre salario mínimo y salario medio.     

Value at Risk in the Suburbs: Eminent Domain and the Geographical Politics of the US Foreclosure Crisis

Several US counties and local governments have recently considered a novel solution to the foreclosure crisis. They plan to use eminent domain to compel the owners of mortgage debt—and specifically of private‐label mortgage‐backed securities—to sell the debt to the government at a price reflecting the loan's market value. The government would then restructure the debt and resell it to new investors. The plans are striking because—in contrast to both development‐driven eminent domain and the federal subprime bank bailout—they would force investors to assume asset devaluation and increased long‐term risk. Notably, the plans have emerged as an instance of financialization‐focused politics in suburbs and suburban cities of color, specifically majority‐black and ‐Latino/a suburbs. Local support for the plans, we argue, is rooted in the long‐term disinvestment of these ‘suburbs of exception', which became targets of subprime lending and eventually sites where the ‘financial exception' has been localized. But these demographic shifts, fragmentation and fiscal pressures have at the same time created a suburban political terrain in which the plans have gained their strongest political support.     

Towards a Theory of Serendipity: A Systematic Review and Conceptualization

Serendipity – the notion of making surprising and valuable discoveries – plays a major role in the success of individuals and organizations alike. Previous research has established the importance of serendipity and identified important individual- and organizational-level antecedents. However, the literature has been dispersed and the boundaries of the concept have been blurry, leading to a lack of conceptual clarity and structure, and thus limiting validity and managerial actionability. Based on a systematic literature review, I synthesize existing management-related research on serendipity and explicate the emergence and composition of serendipity in the organizational context. I first identify three necessary conditions that differentiate serendipity from related concepts such as luck or targeted innovation: agency, surprise, and value. Then, I draw from the literature on sensemaking, event-based theorizing, and quantum-based approaches to management to conceptualize the process of cultivating serendipity in the organizational context as a process of enabling potentiality and materialization, and develop a multi-level theory of (cultivating) serendipity. This conceptualization contributes to our collective understanding of how, why, and when (i.e., under what conditions) organizations can leverage the value in the unexpected, which opens up fruitful avenues for further research.     

Accountability of NGOs in Bangladesh A critical overview

NGOs in Bangladesh have been recognized as effective change agents in the socio-economic arena throughout the world. Their contributions in micro credit, non-formal education and primary health care are widely known. NGOs play a significant role in society. NGO accountability, as a result, has become a critical issue. NGO accountability in Bangladesh has been examined here in relation to patrons, clients and themselves. Of the three relationships only accountability to patrons is in a near satisfactory state. Accountability to clients is handicapped by lack of opportunities of beneficiaries to participate meaningfully in NGO policy making. Accountability to themselves is adversely affected due to the adherence to a strictly hierarchical system and the influence of founding and charismatic NGO leaders.     

Towards an Asian model of human resource management? A comparative analysis of China,Japan and South Korea

There has been much discussion regarding the possible decline and weakening of national systems of human resource management (HRM). Yet, culture and institutions are often cited as the major stumbling blocks to this outcome. Such constraints may dissipate in the analysis, particularly if ‘regional clusters’ are considered where geographic and cultural closeness and ‘openness’ to similar economic pressures exist. In such cases, it might be postulated that convergence in HRM will occur. We argue that China, Japan and South Korea represent such a cluster. This article examines these countries, to see if a degree of convergence is taking place and if it is towards an identifiable ‘Asian’ model of HRM. A model of change is presented that distinguishes between levels of occurrence and acceptance. Details of the development and practice of HRM in each country are then set out. The article ends with a discussion and implications section and a brief conclusion.     

Cultural Economy Planning in Creative Cities: Discourse and Practice

While a growing body of research analyses the functional mechanisms of the cultural or creative economy, there has been little attention devoted to understanding how local governments translate this work into policy. Moreover, research in this vein focuses predominately on Richard Florida's creative class thesis rather than considering the wider body of work that may influence policy. This article seeks to develop a deeper understanding of how municipalities conceptualize and plan for the cultural economy through the lens of two cities held up as model ‘creative cities’ — Austin, Texas and Toronto, Ontario. The work pays particular attention to how the cities adopt and adapt leading theories, strategies and discourses of the cultural economy. While policy documents indicate that the cities embrace the creative city model, in practice agencies tend to adapt conventional economic development strategies for cultural economy activity and appropriate the language of the creative city for multiple purposes.     

Input/output ranges and performance: an examination of US machine tool producers

Despite the establishment of high-tech multinational enterprises (MNEs) in Ireland since the late 1950s, the country did not succeed in closing the technological gap with most of its EU counterparts. The weak National System of Innovation (NSI), and in particular low business and government R&D levels, combined with a lack of research and technology linkages between MNEs and indigenous firms, explain these poor results. However, the Shannon region in the West of the country presents some specific institutional characteristics that could theoretically make the region a strong technological enclave. The various actors in the region - i.e. the administrative, financial, political and research institutions, as well as the business organizations - have indeed infused a new type of economic development. After a brief review of the available concepts and models articulated around these actors and their interrelationships, the paper analyses whether the Shannon region, taken as an illustrative example, mirrors a specific economic and technological localized setting. The study is based on a survey of indigenous and foreign firms.     

Sixty years of discrimination and diversity research in human resource management: A review with suggestions for future research directions

This article reviews discrimination and diversity research published in Human Resource Management (HRM) over the past 60 years. While discrimination and diversity are very different constructs, it is often informative to study them together, because when people recognize each other's diversity, this can result in bias, stereotyping, and discrimination. We conducted bibliographic searches for terms related to discrimination and diversity as well as a manual search through every title and abstract published in HRM over the last 60 years to assess article relevance. The search resulted in 135 research articles with 136 unique studies (i.e., samples) which are reviewed in this article. Sex and race are the demographics that have been examined the most in HRM, while religion has been examined the least. Moreover, the number of studies examining lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) employees in the workplace in HRM has grown quickly within the past 10 years, culminating in a recent meta‐analysis. Our review looks at some of the earliest research published, the most recent research published, and the overall trends we identified in the research over the years for both discrimination and diversity articles. We then make future research suggestions and recommendations to advance the study of discrimination and diversity in the coming years.     

Multinomial distributions applied to random sampling of particulate materials

When sampling a batch consisting of particulate material, the distribution of a sample estimator can be characterized using knowledge about the sample drawing process. With Bernoulli sampling, the number of particles in the sample is binomially distributed. Because this is rarely realized in practice, we propose a sampling design in which the possible samples have a nearly equal mass. Expected values and variances of the sample estimator are calculated. It is shown that the sample estimator becomes identical to the Horvitz–Thompson estimator in the case of a large batch-to-sample mass ratio and a large sample mass. Simulations and experiments were performed to test the theory. Simulations confirm that the round-off error due to the discrete nature of particles is negligible for large sample sizes. Sampling experiments were carried out with a mixture of PolyPropylene (PP) and PolyTetraFluorEthylene (PTFE) spheres suspended in a viscous medium. The measured and theoretical variations are in good agreement.     

The Early History of the Cumulants and the Gram-Charlier Series

The early history of the Gram-Charlier series is discussed from three points of view: (1) a generalization of Laplace's central limit theorem, (2) a least squares approximation to a continuous function by means of Chebyshev-Hermite polynomials, (3) a generalization of Gauss's normal distribution to a system of skew distributions. Thiele defined the cumulants in terms of the moments, first by a recursion formula and later by an expansion of the logarithm of the moment generating function. He devised a differential operator which adjusts any cumulant to a desired value. His little known 1899 paper in Danish on the properties of the cumulants is translated into English in the Appendix.
