接管放弃的决定因素及后果

过去三十年接管行为引起了学术界的广泛关注,其中大多数研究关注于成功的接管,尤其是研究接管行为对被接管目标公司和竞价公司双方股东财富的影响。与成功接管不同的是,被迫放弃的接管行为(即接管放弃)相对而言受学术界的关注较少。这种令人惊讶的现象是因为相当大比例的接管竞价不成功。本文试图通过对接管失败方面文献的综合调研来说明这种研究上的偏颇。本文关注于两方面文献:第一,回顾和讨论可能影响接管结果的因素;第二,分别从目标公司和竞价公司的角度考察接管放弃的后果。还要分析未来的研究领域,这将进一步深化公司对接管放弃的因果关系的认识。

Management training for women—what the west forgot?

Drawing on experience of providing women for senior management programmes in developing countries and in the UK, this article considers the issues associated with management training for women. In particular, it discusses the approaches currently adopted in the west, the attitudes that inform these and their shortcomings. It describes the outcomes achieved through an approach to training designed and implemented with women from developing countries, which is somewhat different to experience in the west. It goes on to suggest that at a time when developing countries are importing management training at an increasing rate from the west, measured critique should be applied to assessing the efficacy of programmes, not in respect of their appropriateness in a development context, but on a basis of whether they are effective in their place of origin. Moreover, it is argued that, in fact, the west has much to learn for its own applications from developing countries.     

The public and the private in architecture: A feminist critique

Hanna Arendt's discussion of public and private derives more or less intact from Aristotle and forms a principal philosophical basis for mainstream architectural theory exemplified in the writings of Kenneth Frampton. An eminent architectural historian, teacher, and critic, Frampton proposes that the discipline of architecture is in crisis today because of an unprecedented enphasis on ‘the life-bound values of animal laborans,’ and because ‘it is largely divested of culturally valid institutions for its embodiment,’ which institutions, he suggests, find their archetypes in the agora of the ancient polis. The author criticizes Frampton's position from the perspective of feminist philosophy, based on Elshtain and Pitkin, and advocates some reformulation of the traditional hierarchical relationship between the two domains. The last section of the article locates architectural work within this feminist perspective: in programme, precedents, and formal expression. ‘The Ethical Polity’ provides a potential vehicle for architectural exploration predicated on the restructuring of public and private.
