任务型组织的动态能力建构

在社会复杂性和不确定性迅速增长的时代,考察组织相对于环境变动的动态能力显得尤其重要。在组织能力的问题上,常规组织往往着重于组织的静态能力建设,而对其动态能力则很少给予关注。与常规组织不同,任务型组织要求发展出一种动态能力。这种动态能力虽然表现为一种与环境相适应的能力,而实际上则是一种更快更好地完成任务的能力。     

治理河流污染的制度激励悖论分析

为了治理日益加剧的河流污染,从中央到地方都相应出台了各种激励措施,但是这些措施并未起到显著效果,却形成了制度激励悖论。排污企业与地方政府在经历了新政策出台初的短暂扰动后,恢复原有均衡。要打破这一均衡,必须改变博弈各方的收益结构、可选策略集以及信息结构等,才有望建立符合科学发展观的最优均衡。     

New Labour in Perspective: A Comment on Rubinstein

In a recent issue of this journal, David Rubinstein (2000) questioned Stephen Driver and Luke Martell's characterisation of New Labour as a fundamental break with the past. Rubinstein notes important continuities between 'Old' Labour governments and the current Blair government, and correctly challenges Driver and Martell's simple 'old'/'new' portrayal. However, he underestimates the extent to which contextual changes impact upon a left-of-centre government's ability to achieve its aims.     

Pictures at an exhibition revisited: reflections on a typology of images used in the construction of corporate social responsibility and sustainability in non‐financial corporate reporting

• Strategic corporate and public affairs communication about Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has emerged as a major component of corporate efforts to interact with their stakeholders and society at large. Non‐financial reporting, and CSR reporting in particular, is now seen as an essential corporate communication process by most members of a company's stakeholder community. This growth in CSR reporting has been driven by the need to increase corporate transparency and accountability concerning social and environmental issues. Arguably, the European Union is the most progressive region in adopting CSR reporting. Almost all of Europe's top 100 companies report on social and environmental performance, whilst figures for the USA and the rest of the world are much lower. The latest Accountability Rating concludes that ‘Europe leads, America lags’ after measuring companies' social and environmental impacts.
• The authors argue that visual communication is as important as words and numbers in creating meaning and assess UK and German Companies' non‐financial performance. Utilizing a range of research methods including content analysis and semiotic interpretation the authors propose a typology of images used in non‐financial reporting. This typology and associated conceptual development can used to more accurately define and interpret CSR and sustainability.

网络参与下的政府行为选择

网络参与具有技术性与政治性、普遍性与特殊性、间接性与直接性、有序性与无序性等多向度、双重性的特点。这些特点的交织,决定了网络政治参与既可能有利于推进民主政治发展的进程,又可能使政府行政陷入困境。因此,担当公共责任、增强回应能力、引导有序参与,是我国政府的必然选择。     

‘Death is painful so it is better to be holding a gun’: the socio-ecologically situated dis/rearmament decisions of formerly abducted persons in northern Uganda

In northern Uganda, children and youth once abducted by the notorious Lord's Resistance Army now live in internally displaced persons camps, facing challenging social, economic and security conditions. Within this context, former combatants state they would prefer to rearm than face a ‘painful’ and inevitable death. Drawing on qualitative interviews and focus group discussions with over 300 former combatants, we apply a socio-ecological lens to determine the push/pull factors that influence their decision to rearm or disarm. A lack of personal security, levels of stigmatisation and poor economic and educational opportunities are among the highest push factors toward rearmament. These findings point to a broad range of causes and actors responsible for child and youth militarisation and call for more holistic DDR approaches.     

领导干部政绩评价主体的系统构建——利益相关者理论视角

由于评价主体的利益相关性和价值取向差异性,评价主体的组成及权重分配对领导干部政绩评价结果有强烈的影响。因此,系统地构建领导干部政绩评价的主体体系,是领导干部政绩评价工作的重要课题。从利益相关性的角度,选择不同的评价主体,设定不同的权重系数,建立科学的政绩评价主体体系,对于全面、客观、公正、准确地考核评价领导干部,坚持科学发展观、树立正确的政绩观具有重要意义。     

经济发达镇行政管理体制改革的思考

随着我国城镇化进程的快速推进,部分乡镇迅速发展成为经济发达镇,但传统的乡镇行政管理体制使经济发达镇长期处于责任大、权力小、功能弱、效率低的艰难境地,严重制约了经济发达镇自身的建设、发展和管理。本文在总结经济发达镇的基本特征的基础上,分析了经济发达镇的行政管理体制中目前存在的主要问题,并根据广东、浙江、山东等地在推进经济发达镇行政管理体制改革中的实践经验,对我国经济发达镇的行政管理体制改革提出相关对策建议。
