Collaboration ‘Engineerability’

Collaboration Engineering is an approach to create sustained collaboration support by designing collaborative work practices for high-value recurring tasks, and transferring those designs to practitioners to execute for themselves without ongoing support from collaboration professionals. A key assumption in this approach is that we can predictably design collaboration processes. In this paper we explore this assumption to understand whether collaboration can, in fact, be designed, and elaborate on the role of thinkLets in the engineering of collaborative work practices. ThinkLets are design patterns for collaborative interactions.     

莫要搞‘劫富济贫’

<正> 某市一家企业1992年创利税100多万元,颇有“富名”,前不久却被执法机关封了银行帐号。究其原因,既不是经营不善,也不是产品难销,而是当地行政部门“劫富济贫”所致。原来,该厂1993年在行政干预下,先后为两家穷企业担保借贷。由于那两家企业经营无方,因而受“连坐”之累成了被告,好端端的一个企业就这样被搞垮了。据查,目前类似这种现象较为普遍,应当引起各级领导的高度重视。 “劫富济贫”违背了市场经济的客观规律。市场经济的基本规律之一是优胜劣汰,适者生存。凡是产品结构合理,经营机制灵活,管理方法先进企业,就生存,就发展,就不断壮大;凡是不能适应市场经济发展要求的企业,就会逐步萎缩,最终被淘汰。按照这一规律,对待企业的科学态度应当是“扶优限劣”,而不是“劫富济贫”。 “劫富济贫”,侵犯了“富”企业的自主权。《中华人民共和国     

The ‘amelioration’ of child labor, ‘a modest proposal’

More than 317 million children between the age of 5 and 17 are working in the world. Child labor is a persistent phenomenon, even though its incidence has subsided with economic development. In this paper, we conduct a panel study of 101 countries from 1980 to 2004 where child labor is proxied by the labor force participation of children aged 10–14. We look at the relationships between child labor and investments in human capital, foreign direct investments, countries’ openness to trade, and credit market constraints. We depart from the contributions of cross-country studies by employing a fixed effects instrumental variable (FE-IV) panel data model by employing a fixed effects instrumental variable (FE-IV) panel data model to account for unobserved heterogeneity and endogeneity of child labor and individual country-specific effects. We find support for the conclusions of the above-mentioned studies: countries that trade more and have a higher stock of foreign direct investment have less child labor. More generally, we find that trade openness, investments in human capital, and financial development are associated with a reduction of child labor. Child labor persists but tailored policies on trade, investment, and financial reform can lessen child labor along with economic growth, improvements in health, and rising standards of living.

Thoughts on ‘management-think’

In this paper I briefly summarize Pastin's views on the problem of good business thinking (GBT) and the solution (Perspectival Analysis) which he offers. In discussing Pastin's solution I offer a number criticisms which call for further elucidation on Pastin's part. Specifically, I challenge his vagueness on which perspectives a manager must consider, the manner in which the moral components of these perspectives are to be evaluated, and whether Pastin is not in the end committed simply to an economic account of GBT. Finally, I contend that Pastin's account of GBT errors in being too intellectualistic and too individualistic. George G. Brenkert is Associate Professor at the University of Tennessee.
