Analyzing air cargo flows of international routes: an empirical study of Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport

Air cargo demand is an important aspect of the operation and planning of private and public agencies responsible for airports. While most existing studies in this field include only geo-economic characteristics of airports and their hinterlands as explanatory variables, this study develops a gravity model of air cargo flows by trying to incorporate more factors that might influence international air cargo flows of an airport. The model is developed based on the panel data of air cargo services on scheduled routes at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport during the years 2004-2007. The results indicate that population, air freight rate and three dummy variables, including the regional economic bloc of the “Chinese Circle”(an informal partnership between Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and mainland China), the Open Sky Agreements and long established colonial links, are key determinants of international air cargo flows from/to Taiwan. These results suggest a wider array of factors needs to be considered in policy.     

对话管理:管理历史发展的必然趋势

科学管理和人本管理是管理的两大范式,二者都是主客二元思维的产物,具有内在的局限性;但二者作为对立的两极,具有互补性。二者的整合发展必然产生一种新的管理范式——对话管理范式。对话管理以科学管理为基础机制,以人本管理的精神为价值导向,形成一套新的内在机制和完整范式,是对二者的内化与超越。它超越主客二元模式,是一种主体间性管理,符合事物发展的内在逻辑,在今天已初露端倪。

In this pioneering study Christopher A. Reed addresses majorissues concerning the modernization of Chinese printing andpublishing in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.The book’s most significant contribution is its focuson technology and business organizations. While the historyof print and publishing in China has drawn enthusiastic attentionfrom scholars over the last decade, Reed’s work breaksnew ground by studying the cultural hardware behind the writtenword—printing machines and publishing businesses.

自组织：大学生对话管理的内在机理

自组织是自然界存在的普遍现象与规律。大学生管理组织作为一种社会组织系统,其运行与发展必然存在和遵循着一种内在的自组织机理。传统的大学生管理更多的是一种＂他组织＂的管理,其自组织机制却严重破缺。大学生对话管理作为一种管理新范式,其组织动力来源于组织内部以及内外部之间的互动对话,它的组织机制是一种自组织。大学生对话管理的自组织机理源于其组织系统的开放性、远离平衡态、非线性相互作用和＂涨落＂。
