Employee involvement in American corporations

At the direction of the U.S. Senate subcommittee on Governmental Affairs, the general Accounting Office (GAO) conducted a survey of employee involvement practices within American companies. The population consisted of top management within Fortune's 500 largest manufacturing and 500 largest service companies. An analysis of the data examined three broad areas relating to employee involvement: (1) the existing organizational programs and processes such as personnel practices, information sharing, and training; (2) the degree of corporate participation in specific employee involvement programs including the reasons for undertaking employee involvement programs, and the perceived barriers to the implementation of employee involvement programs; and (3) the perceived effect of employee involvement on organizational operation as measured by changes in indicators of performance and activities within the internal business environment.     

走可持续发展的道路,必须树立科学的“资源优势”观

资源优势不等于经济优势,它不是固定不变的。其在现代经济中的作用已让位于科学技术,利用不当会转化为劣势。所以,走“可持续发展”道路,必须遵循开发资源坚持以科技为先导、以市场为导向、开采与保护并重的原则。     

The persistence of knowledge‐based advantage: an empirical test for product performance and technological knowledge

Resource‐based theory maintains that intrinsic characteristics of resources and capabilities, such as their tacitness, complexity, and specificity, prevent imitation and thereby prolong exceptional performance. There is little direct evidence to verify these claims, yet a substantial literature encourages firms to formulate competitive strategies around resources with these attributes. Further, work outside the resource‐based tradition suggests that these attributes can slow innovation, and it is not clear when this effect outweighs the benefits of inimitability. This paper seeks to clarify whether and how the complexity, tacitness, and specificity of a firm's knowledge affect the persistence of its performance advantages. We find that the complexity and tacitness of technological knowledge are useful for defending a firm's major product improvements from imitation, but not for protecting its minor improvements. The design specificity of technological knowledge delayed imitation of minor improvements in this study. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Intertemporal Equity and Hartwick's Rule in an Exhaustible Resource Model*

In a standard exhaustible resource model, it is known that if, along a competitive path, investment in the augmentable capital good equals the rents on the exhaustible resource (known as Hartwick's rule), then the path is equitable in the sense that the consumption level is constant over time. In this paper, we show the converse of this result: if a competitive path is equitable, then it must satisfy Hartwick's rule.

论教育与人和社会的发展

人的发展和社会的发展都是人类追求的目标。在充分发挥教育为社会政治、经济、文化服务的功能的时候,必须始终不要忘记贯彻教育是培养人、塑造人这个根本的功能;而教育培养人,必须从一定社会历史条件出发,在服务社会过程中逐步接近,直到最后实现这个目标。     

试论新课程改革背景下教育观念的更新与变革

教育观念的更新和变革，是课程改革顺利进行的必要前提和关键所在。要牢固树立“以人为本”的教育理念，以突出素质教育的全体性、全面性、主体性。教学过程要实现从单向信息传递向师生交往互动的变革、从单纯的知识灌输向学生认知建构的变革、从单纯应试向促进学生可持续发展的变革。教师必须形成新的角色意识，做学生学习的指导者、做教学的研究者和终身学习的示范者。同时，新课程改革还要求开展学习方式的革命。
