奥运官员提出奥运管理四大关注

安全,是奥运管理的第一要素安全,是奥运会顺利进行的第一要素.安全在现今的意义上包括的方面很广,有传统意义上的安全,有防止恐怖和破坏活动的非传统意义上的安全,还有环境和健康上的安全,电脑和电视运行上的安全,食品方面的安全等.秩序就是要保持稳定和有序,防止把经济利益上的纠纷政治化,防止有人利用各种手段扰乱社会秩序.     

世无弃人和弃物

世界上没有垃圾,垃圾是放错地方的宝物;世界上没有庸才,庸才是用错地方的人才;世界上没有错话,错话是用错时间和地点的正确话;世界上的字无好坏之分,则有组合当与不当之别。     

我国政府职能变革的基本取向

政府职能变革从广义上是指政府的职责和功能变化、转换与发展,狭义上是指政府领导和管理经济工作的方式、方法的改革.本文阐述的是狭义的政府职能变革.政府职能的变革从本质上来说是为经济发展服务的.     

落实主人的责权利─—在企业改制中要切实维护和落实好职工的合法权益

当前,在企业改制工作加大力度,改制形式呈多样化的前提下,如何维护和落实好职工的合法权益,做到“政治上保证,制度上落实,素质上提高,权益上维护”,这不仅是企业改制的关键,也是企业维护和落实好职工合法权益的核心。而要使这“关键”和“核心”得到落实,就必须做到：一、切实保证企业职工政治上的主人翁地位全心全意依靠工人阶级的实质是坚持工人阶级当家作主,确保职工群众的企业主人翁地位。从一定意义上讲,企业领导班子是落实“依靠”和“维护”的首要问题。目前,在转机改制的过程中,存在着对经营者缺乏应有的制约问题。企…     

把公道正派的用人原则贯彻到实际工作中

公道正派是我们党一贯倡导的用人原则。组工干部做到公道正派,是实践“三个代表”重要思想的根本要求,是履行职责的行为准则,是做好工作的制度规范,是防止和克服用人上不正之风的关键所在。各级党委和组织部门要把学习“三个代表”重要思想的成果运用到选用干部的实际工作中,就需要做到:在方向上,把握用人导向;在观念上,体现与时俱进;在工作上,恪守职业道德;在作风上,严于律己。把握用人导向。党中央要求,要注重在改革和建设的实践中考察和识别干部,把那些德才兼备、实绩突出和群众公认的人及时选拔到领导岗位上来。这既是全面建设小康社会…     

不要轻视任何对手

和而不同 善待异己

以和为贵是中国文化的根本特征和基本价值取向,和而不同就是对"和"这一理念的具体阐发。和而不同是处世的经验、待人的艺术、生存的智慧和力量,更是成就事业的必备素质。从哲学意义上讲,"和"是和谐、是统一,"同"是相同、是一致;"和"是抽象的、内在的,"同"是具体的、外在的。和而不同,就是追求内在的和谐统一,而不是表面上的相同和一致。世界上的一切事物都是包

Inventory Models with Continuous and Poisson Demands and Discounted and Average Costs

We develop a new, unified approach to treating continuous‐time stochastic inventory problems with both the average and discounted cost criteria. The approach involves the development of an adjusted discounted cycle cost formula, which has an appealing intuitive interpretation. We show for the first time that an (s, S) policy is optimal in the case of demand having a compound Poisson component as well as a constant rate component. Our demand structure simultaneously generalizes the classical EOQ model and the inventory models with Poisson demand, and we indicate the reasons why this task has been a difficult one. We do not require the surplus cost function to be convex or quasi‐convex as has been assumed in the literature. Finally, we show that the optimal s is unique, but we do not know if optimal S is unique.     

Educational Landscapes and Urban Development. Contextual and Spatial Interfaces and Linkages

In the broad sociopolitical discussion on education quality within the last decade, it has become apparent that education is gaining importance for urban development, as well as space and the urban context are important dimensions of education. This becomes particularly evident in concepts for local educational landscapes (Ger. Bildungslandschaften). The young field of research on educational landscapes is currently lacking empirical research from spatial and planning sciences. In the paper, the current state of scientific research on educational landscapes in Germany and Europe and first insights to contextual and spatial interfaces and linkages between education and urban development in general are presented.     

E-governance and Corruption-developments and Issues in Ethiopia

This paper reports the results of a survey of 400 respondents in Ethiopia about factors generating corruption and the potential of e-Governance to mitigate corruption. It is suggested that e-Governance can help not only in weeding out corruption but also in the establishment of sounder government citizen relationships in Ethiopia. While e-Governance cannot cure all the structural factors that breed corruption in the society, strategic implementation of e-Governance can help improve the critical variable in combating corruption-government citizen relationships. It is argued that while e-Governance initiatives can make important contributions to improving public services they can best do so by helping improve overall relationships between governments and citizens.

CEO and Chairperson characteristics and firm performance

This paper focuses on the relationship between Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chairperson characteristics and firm performance. Specifically, the study examines the association between the characteristics of the CEO and the Chairperson of the board and firm performance. Using a sample of S&P 500 firms, the evidence found suggests that demographic and experience-related characteristics may be associated with the market valuation and financial performance of the firm. In particular, the reported results indicate a positive relationship between the presence of female CEOs or Chairs and firm performance, thus suggesting that gender-based differences may affect the CEO’s/Chairperson’s success. Moreover, the findings concerning the age of the CEO or Chair are mixed, while their experience and quality appear positively related to firm performance. Interestingly, a CEO or Chairperson holding multiple board seats is negatively associated with firm performance, whereas CEO duality has a positive relationship with Tobin’s Q and the return on assets (ROA) of the firm.     

Career orientations and career success among research,and development and engineering professionals

Managing the careers of research, development and engineering (RD&E) professionals is important to the strategic use of RD&E in the economy. Appropriate mechanisms for motivating RD&E professionals will probably emerge as a critical success factor for organizations that want to compete in world markets. This study examines dimensions and levels of career orientation and their correlations with individual and work-related outcome variables among 78 RD&E professionals. The findings reveal a rich diversity of career orientation in RD&E professionals. The data strongly suggest that RD&E professionals are service, lifestyle and security oriented. However, they scored low on technical orientation and entrepreneurship. This paper suggests that the dual career ladder is not an effective device for managing RD&E professionals. Organizations must be careful to provide career paths that retain and motivate workers and, more importantly, find matches between organizational needs and individuals' needs, and restructure jobs accordingly. The authors offer suggestions for future research and identify implications for management.     

David and Goliath: causes and effects of coopetition between start-ups and corporates

Coopetition (collaboration between competitors) among young firms (i.e. start-ups) and larger, more established firms (i.e. corporates) may be beneficial for both partners as each party typically has something to offer that is missing in the other. Start-ups often develop innovative ideas, are flexible and agile, willing to take risks, and aspire to achieve high growth, but they tend to lack the required resources, capabilities, and knowledge due to their newness and smallness. Corporates have resources, routines, and experience that enable them to work efficiently but lack a certain innovation capability. Research has suggested that coopetition represents an opportunity for start-ups facing restrictions in resources, while corporates benefit from start-ups’ innovative ideas. However, it is yet unknown whether start-ups and corporates engage in coopetition with each other and, if so, how and why they do this. This study seeks to fill this void by exploring the motives of coopeting start-ups and corporates, how they manage their coopetitive relationship, and what implications occur including potential benefits and risks. We present a multiple case study based on qualitative data collected through 70 interviews with Austrian-based start-ups and corporates representing 35 coopetitive partnerships. Discussing the findings based on our data, we propose relationships concerning coopetition and its role to enlarge resource- and technology-bases as well as its role in the development of dynamic capabilities.     

Chronic stress and chronic disease in life and work: Conceptual and methodological issues

This paper argues that the lack of strong prospective evidence linking occupational and social stress to chronic disease stems from the failure of research designs to attend sufficiently to the aetiological chronicity of such diseases. Studies of both supposedly acute stress (life events) and chronic stress in life or work must increasingly be designed to distinguish between stress which is sustained or chronic over a period of yean or even decades, and hence capable of causing a serious chronic disease, and brief or transient stress, which may produce transient or brief psychological or physiological disturbances but cannot generate major chronic disease. Prospective studies are needed which collect measures of both stress and health or disease at multiple points over an extended period of time. Measures of stress should focus more on affect (for example, feelings of pressure and tension) than on cognition (for example feelings of satisfaction). Limited existing evidence is consistent with these ideals.
