谁投票反对北美自由贸易协定?工会与自由贸易对对!

1.引言在俄亥俄州的众议员汤姆·索耶于1993年11月17日投票赞成北美自由贸易协定之后,该州汽车工会主席便公开声明在下届议员选举中将予以报复。在国会里,斗争激烈的北美自由贸易协定的投票表决给日益强烈的反对北美自由贸易的工人(尤其是有组织的工会工人)对国会议员的施加影响的机会。同时它也提供了从另一种角度去考察研究这场旷日持久的辩论:议员们的投票行为多大程度上反映了选区选民的经济利益或者是其它方面的影响,诸如,意识形志或党派忠诚。我们先概述些以往劳工在贸易问题上的态     

Web服务:颠覆性的创造力

Gartner观点:Gartner的专家们认为直至2003年Web服务才能真正发展起来。2003年全球40%的电子商务贸易将利用Web服务来完成,2004年这一数字将超过50%,而交易时间将大大缩短。2003年大约80%的开发平台将支持Web服务体系,Web服务将代表下一代软件开发平台的发展方向。据调查显示,在创建Web服务应用程序时,有78%的人使用的是J2EE,并且认为它是最有效的创建和配置Web服务的平台;而使用微软.Net的人为22%。从中我们似乎可以看出哪一个平台更适合于Web服务,哪一个平台又更适合于大多数的开发者。这两个平台的竞争,在2002年愈演愈烈。

The economic law of population distribution and migration

"The economic law of population distribution and migration has been studied chiefly based on the Chinese situation. The distribution and development of productive forces decide the distribution and migration of population, and in turn, the latter influences the former. The population distributions in three different stages of social development, namely agricultural, industrial and information society, are described. A new concept in population economics is introduced, i.e. population economic density, which is different from the concept of population density. The formula of population economic density is P(population)/R(resources). Many kinds of migration are analysed, and it is believed that the main efficient cause of migration is economy."     

Economic humidity control: an alternative to reheat

Are you a strategist or just a manager?

Perhaps the greatest strategist of all time was not a business executive but a general. Helmuth von Moltke, chief of the Prussian and German general staffs from 1858 to 1888, issued "directives" to his officers rather than specific commands. These guidelines for autonomous decision making encouraged Moltke's subordinates to show individual initiative. In this article, Hans Hinterhuber and Wolfgang Popp translate Moltke's example into business terms. According to Moltke, strategy is applied common sense and cannot be taught. The authors suggest that good entrepreneurs and managers--along with generals--are born with the qualities that make them successful. But even if managers have the potential to be good strategists, they must develop and hone their natural talents. And CEOs and top management can help by identifying and promoting such talents in their employees. Hinterhuber and Popp have created a questionnaire that helps measure strategic management competence. Managers and entrepreneurs take this test themselves, answering ten questions such as, "Do I have an entrepreneurial vision?", "Do I have a corporate philosophy?", and "Do I have competitive advantages?" Using the questionnaire, company management can evaluate managers being considered for a promotion. At the same time, those who take the test can use it to determine their own performance as strategists. Strategic managers provide subordinates with general guidelines, just as Helmuth von Moltke issued directives to his officers. And outstanding entrepreneurs create a corporate culture in which their vision, philosophy, and business strategies are implemented by employees who think independently.     

美国管理状况

一、“这是世界上唯一的能每日自我更新的国家”。当今美国管理状况是良性的。我并不是属于认为美国是缺乏“竞争力”的那种人。我认为美国的管理者是构成世界上最有生气的经济的一个组成部分——我还认为美国管理者在确保经济健康发展方面是很值得称道的。今天我们是处在史无前列的经济发展的第七年头——这是一种就我所知的经典经济学家曾梦寐以求的发展。
