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。     

Designing Optimal Crop Revenue Insurance

When the indemnity schedule is contingent on the farmer's price and individual yield, an optimal crop revenue insurance contract depends only on the farmer's gross revenue. However, this design is not efficient if, as is the case with available contracts, the coverage function is based on imperfect estimators of individual yield and/or price. The producer's degree of prudence and the extent of basis risks have important influences on the optimal indemnity schedule. In this broader context, optimal protection is not provided by available U.S. crop insurance contracts and may include combinations of revenue insurance, yield insurance, futures, and options contracts.     

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.

国家战略能力与世界和平

战争产生的根源在于资源的绝对有限性与发展的绝对无限性的矛盾,本世纪初以来发生的战争使人们认识到全球化时代世界并不和平,世界充满战争风险。国家战略能力的高低是国家兴衰的关键。国家战略能力是战略文化、战略思维和战略管理的有机统一。中共十六大之后,中国的战略文化氛围、战略思维能力、战略管理能力在建立“和谐世界”的目标下正迅速提升;相反,美国和日本的战略能力都在快速衰落。     

关于人力资源价值计量问题的探讨

人力资源会计研究推动了劳动者权益理论的发展，但目前相关的会计核算理论与实践运用之间还有较大的距离，根本的原因是：人力资源价值计量这一“瓶颈”问题并未真正解决。本文在分析了当前相关研究中的难题及其原因的基础上认为：人才有价是因为人的素质有价、人力资源价值的内涵是素质的潜在价值、人力资源价值为个体的人所有并能够游离于任何单位之外。本文还探讨了采用修正的成本途径对个体人力资源价值进行评估的基本方法。

Developing holistic leaders: Four domains for leadership development and practice

Leadership development and practice have traditionally been quite narrow, with a decided focus on the analytical realm of leadership. However, the contemporary climate of corporate scandal and resultant loss of societal confidence, coupled with the evolving demands, needs, and expectations of employees, point to the potential need for a more holistic approach to leadership. Thus, this article proposes how management education and leadership development programs can develop holistic leaders that are adept at operating in the analytical, conceptual, emotional, and spiritual domains of leadership practice. An integrated model for holistic leadership development and practice that addresses all four of these domains is proposed, and grounded in both established and emerging leadership development theory. Additionally, a leadership development classification scheme is proposed based on classroom, job, and organizational contexts.
