风险投资——CFO的新归宿

现代大型公司的出现往往离不开风险投资的孵化,如果没有风险投资,就不会有英特尔(Intel)、微软(Micorsoft)、苹果(Apple)、雅虎(Yahoo)、亚马逊(Amazon)这样的公司,也不会有乔布斯那样的创业英雄。现代高科技的历史是一部风险投资成长壮大的历史。如今风险投资和高级财务会计人员的关系日益密切,很多公司的CFO离职后会选择加入风险投资,比如微软前CFO离     

不拘一格用人才

前段时间微软打算收购雅虎的事情被炒得沸沸扬扬，当记者问比尔·盖茨是什么促使微软向雅虎开出天价收购单时，盖茨说是雅虎的人才。盖茨表示，这些人才才是微软赶超Google所急需的。人才是现代企业竞争的基础，企业没有优秀的员工就很难在竞争中占得先机。然而企业不仅要面对人才匮乏的问题，还要面对人才筛选的难题。从各种各样的求职者中找到适合的人才是各个公司领导人不得不面对的挑战，本期我们邀请到生命人寿上海分公司总经理刘也、新华人寿广西分公司总经理彭军和平安人寿深圳分公司副总经理魏立尤与我们一起探讨识人选人的话题!     

并购雅虎，微软为何一反常态？

春节前业界最爆炸的新闻就是微软以446亿美元洽购雅虎。之后不断有新的细节曝出，先是雅虎的股东对报价内部意见不统一，随后新闻集团加入竞购，不过不管出现什么阻挠，“即便失败，也不会提高报价”。比尔盖茨说。“微软势在必得，一定能够拿下雅虎。”—位微软内部人士透露。     

每月视点

《雅虎创世纪》Yahoo!是偶然的成功,而这种偶然性也是互联网时代的最大特性。杨致远说:“人人都说美国机会多,但当时可没人能想到机会的降临,犹如雅虎一般。”这是一场万无一失的游戏,因为“我们没什么好损失的。我们赤手空拳地建立这一切。”     

微软将集中开发广告和搜索业务

据国外媒体报道，微软公司董事长比尔·盖茨周五称，在撤回收购雅虎要约以后，微软将集中增长自己的广告业务与网络搜索业务。 自上周微软撤销475亿美元的收购雅虎要约后，微软尚未提出与Google竞争的替代方案。在网络市场上，谷歌支配了大部分份额。     

杨致远的尴尬时刻

收购网络社区MySpace,雅虎输给了新闻集团;竞购视频共享网站YouTube,雅虎败给了谷歌;抢购热门网站Facebook,雅虎败给了微软雅虎趣味横生的企业文化和微软正统刻板的企业文化格格不入,许多雅虎员工并不欢迎微软成为自己的新东家微软很可能将收购报价提高到每股35美元,即总收购价为500亿美元,甚至不排除微软直接从股东手中敌意收购他们所持有的雅虎股份     

Development in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Statistics at the Australian Bureau of Statistics

This paper outlines the ICT statistical developments that the ABS has undertaken over recent years. These developments have been on both the supply side (ICT industry) and the demand side (use of IT by sector). The content of ABS ICT surveys has changed significantly over the last few years and are expected to develop further in line with industry changes and emerging policy needs.
Recent developments in household collections have been the inclusion of IT use questions in the 2001 Census of Population and Housing and in various ABS social surveys such as Children's Participation in Culture and Leisure Activities. Annual business IT use surveys are now conducted and include topics such as Internet commerce and IT security. Biennial ICT industry surveys are conducted to provide data on ICT production, imports and exports, ICT industry employment, performance and structure information. An Internet activity survey is run every six months and provides regional Internet access details and infrastructure details on Internet service providers.
A major development for 2002–03 will be the compilation of an ICT satellite account. ABS intends to produce an ICT Information Development Plan to guide its future statistical development work in the ICT field.     

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.     

The Creation of the Office for National Statistics

A new Office for National Statistics was created in the United Kingdom in 1996 following a series of developments designed to strengthen the relevance and integrity of statistics. This paper describes these fundamental changes and sets out a blueprint for future progress. It also sets current developments in the United Kingdom in an historical and international context.     

What helps? Women engineers' accounts of staying on

We have considerable understanding of the obstacles that women engineers encounter and the reasons that they leave the field, but we know less about what enables them to remain. Adopting an interpretivist approach, this article examines how a group of British women engineers in two FTSE 100 companies account for “staying on” in their male‐dominated work settings. We delineate four specific forms of help that facilitate women's retention in the field. We argue that exposure to help leads to women developing a habitus that enables them to continue working in engineering. To conclude, we draw on our findings to outline HR practices that will facilitate supportive relationships in the workplace and pave the way towards developing more positive organisational climates.
