浅谈工程项目分承包管理特点

我国建筑工程项目管理方式由粗放型向现代项目管理转变已多年，但与国外先进的管理尚有一定差距。随着市场开放性程度提高，国外建筑投资商和承包商进入，政策法规逐渐国际化，建筑工程项目管理正向现代的项目管理方式转型。     

In search of a new industry: Giovanni Battista Pirelli and his educational journey through Europe, 1870–1871

Knowledge is increasingly considered a crucial resource for economic and business development. However, it is a broad concept that calls for further specifications: different kinds of knowledge call for diverse transfer and learning mechanisms, crucial for their application to economic activity. Focusing on the case of Giovanni Battista Pirelli (1848–1932) – Italian engineer and entrepreneur, founder (1872) of the first Italian rubber company, G.B. Pirelli & Co. – and his educational journey through Europe (1870–1871), this article investigates the complexity of the learning mechanism which in the second half of the nineteenth century allowed a relatively peripheral region like Northern Italy to reduce the gap separating it from the centre of European industrialization. Special attention is devoted to the characteristics of the rubber manufacturing industry and to the specific difficulties encountered in the acquisition and transfer of knowledge (including technology) related to a relatively new and rapidly evolving industry.     

基于价值工程的复合理论评标方法探讨

招投标的关键是评标,采用什么样的评标方法又成为了关键中的关键。本文以价值工程理论为基础,结合层次分析法和模糊综合评价法,提出一种复合理论评标方法,建立了该方法的评标模型,并应用于案例。案例分析表明,基于价值工程复合理论评标方法能使工程评标兼顾工程技术和报价,能全面反映投标商的综合实力,有助于工程建设项目成本降低、功能提高。     

世界范围VE/VM学术组织的建设及其对实践应用的推动

价值工程/价值管理(Value Engineering/Value Management,VE/VM)问世以来,许多国家和地区相继建立了学术性的组织机构,尤其在发达国家。这些组织名称各异,形式不同,但成立的宗旨、目的都相似。它们在普及VE/VM知识,开展技能培训和职业认证,制定标准规范,引导政府/企业界开展VE/VM实践应用,倡导学术研究和学者交流等方面,起到了重要作用。这些国家深入持久开展VE/VM活动,与这些组织机构的巨大推动作用是分不开的。文中对世界范围的这些VE/VM学术性组织的建设及其对实践应用的推动进行了综述,指出与发达国家的情况相比,中国目前在这一领域尚有很大的差距;如何学习发达国家在VE/VM领域的组织建设经验,对提升中国的VE/VM理论研究和实践发展,具有借鉴作用。     

企业深入开展价值工程活动面临的机会、现状及对策

中国工业化的进程为广大企业提供了发展的机遇,而价值工程(VE)使其在激烈的竞争中增添了决胜的筹码。清楚地认识价值工程思想在企业发展中的作用,清醒看到目前存在的问题并积极制定出切实有效的对策,是价值工程发展和企业竞争面临的重大问题。     

A thriving coal mining city in crisis? The governance and spatial planning challenges at Witbank,South Africa

The city of Witbank in the eMalahleni Local Government, or municipality as it is referred to in South Africa, and its economy are experiencing rapid growth. The growth is largely as a result of coal mining and associated activities such as power generation and the metal industry, which attracts an inflow of migrants to the area. The paper discusses how a flourishing city such as Witbank, with its economy based on non-renewable resources, manages its vulnerabilities. This was researched against a background of eMalahleni being placed under Administration, because the local government failed to deliver basic services. An administrator was appointed to manage and monitor the financial affairs of the local government, by the second sphere of government, known as the Provincial Administration in South Africa. The results show that Witbank prioritised mineral wealth above social, agricultural and environmental concerns. While good governance is generally important for a growing city, Witbank appears to manage with a limited contribution from the local government as the wealthier citizens are able to provide for their immediate needs or move elsewhere. It was suggested that South Africa needs to have a more balanced perspective on the costs and benefits of mining and to develop a long term vision for mining areas, which includes plans for the community once the mineral reserves are depleted.

浅析设计院从事工程总承包的优势与不足

近年来,随着工程总承包市场的全面放开、业主需求变化和设计院的业务需求,国内的一些设计院已经开始涉足工程项目总承包领域。基于设计院的资源特点和业务特点,以及工程总承包业务的特点,设计院开展工程总承包业务存在先天的优势,也存在问题。文章将结合现状就设计院在承接工程总承包项目时所具有的优势和不足进行探讨,以利于达到扬长避短的效果,推动设计院从事工程总承包的进程。     

Prices,policies, and place: What drives greenfield development?

While the recent global financial crisis heightened awareness of the linkages between global financial capital and urban spatial pattern, the timing of urban development – largely thought to be market driven – is not fully understood. Parcel-level studies of urban land-use change, which often use hazard models to investigate if and when development occurs, offer an opportunity to juxtapose the extent to which decisions to develop individual plots of farmland into housing are driven by market forces, the unique characteristics of the land and its intraurban location, or policies such as transportation infrastructure and municipal annexation. Using residential completion data in the Phoenix, Arizona region from 1992 to 2014, a period of dramatic commodity, fuel, and home price swings, and land cover imagery, we develop a parcel-level hazard model to gauge the relative impacts of market, policy, and place-based drivers of land change. We find limited evidence of induced development associated with freeway planning, that annexation and development are closely linked and moreso during economic booms, high fuel prices spur development in the region's core, and agricultural and urban land rents affect the timing of development. This study advances our understanding of development decision- making, policy impacts, and urban land-use change modeling and provides an empirical connection between local and global drivers of Greenfield development.
