Culture change in organizational public discourse 1998–2008: Examining annual reports of Japanese and US corporations     

Shinobu Suzuki 《Int J Intercult Relat》2013

This study examines changes in organizational cultures of Japanese and US corporations between 1998 and 2008 through the lens of communication. Specifically, it analyzes organizational values that are manifest in the use of specific terms in the texts of corporate annual reports (N = 255). By doing so, this study empirically determines the patterns that describe over-time changes in organizational cultures of Japanese and US corporations. Theoretically, this study investigates whether the basic premise of the theory of convergence is applicable to the study of organizational culture change. To that end, three dimensions of organizational values—performance, continuity, and growth—have been derived. To test the hypotheses and the research question offered, this study examines the effects of time in years, national culture, and the interaction between the two on the three value dimensions. Using linear growth model analysis, this study found that time and national culture had significant effects on the use of the terms related to the performance and continuity dimensions. The effects were not significant for the growth dimension. In none of the cases, the interaction effects between time and national culture were significant. The results provided evidence to support the parallel change pattern for the performance and continuity dimensions and the unitary stability pattern for the growth dimension. The findings partially support the premise of the theory of convergence.  相似文献   

企业社会责任、质量伦理与战略     

余吉安  杨斌 《科技管理研究》2015,(16)

质量管理本身的意义在于强化生产过程中的质量控制。但在质量信任危机的今天,一般的质量管理已经显得十分乏力,这既有质量信息不对称的原因,也有企业社会责任缺失的缘故。仅仅强调质量管理技术和制度是不够的,还需要从伦理上和战略上强化质量管理。在企业社会责任与伦理的基础上提出企业质量伦理战略,强调企业社会责任表现。这一战略可能是产品质量信息不对称下的最优选择,有助于构建高成本壁垒,提升企业经营的正当性,有利于形成差异化竞争,树立企业品牌。  相似文献   

Identities for Sale: How the Tobacco Industry Construed Asians,Asian Americans,and Pacific Islanders     

《Journal of Intercultural Communication Research》2013,42(3):265-292

Previous research has substantiated the targeting of various demographic subgroups by the tobacco industry through marketing practices. However, relatively little research has examined targeting of Asians and Pacific Islanders. Based on prior tobacco document research citing the use of identity-based marketing strategies, a content analytic scheme was developed to assess if these strategies were applied to the Asian and AAPI populations. The study was grounded in social identity theory and optimal distinctiveness theory paradigms in order to develop a coherent analytic framework. Keyword searches of documents were conducted and a random sample of the documents of interest was drawn. These data suggest that the tobacco industry targeted Asians and Pacific Islanders in the United States and abroad via interpersonal and commercial communication tactics. These strategies were carefully orchestrated and employed as a result of sophisticated analyses of the social identities and value systems of the source culture populations. Barriers to reaching this culturally and linguistically heterogeneous market were overcome via the construct of collectivism. At the same time, more Westernized Asians were targeted via advertisements that blended a hybrid Western style identity. For both source and immigrant cultures, the industry attempted to facilitate identity construction and maintenance through smoking.  相似文献   

Toward a theory of collection development: an activities and attributes approach     

William B. Edgar   《Library Collections, Acquisitions, and Technical Services》2004,27(4):393-423

This paper presents results of a study of corporate library selection activity performed to support four global corporations. The firms examined are involved in providing communication, knowledge in its different forms, and computing. Using these results, this paper synthesizes literature on selection and collection development to present an approach to developing an eventual theory of collection development. Using this approach, such a theory would predict the performance of selection activity; the operation of its attributes, such as its cost, centralization, and formalization; and the operation of other collection development activities. Concurrently, it would explain these predictions using dynamics such as the need to include specified ideas within selected content, the need to cope with selector's abilities to choose vast amounts of content, the need to contain selection cost, and the need to gather material together so as to support browsing and its resulting impromptu development of ideas.  相似文献

公司治理、内部控制、风险管理与绩效评价关系研究   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

梅艳晓 《黑龙江科技信息》2008,(33)

在对公司治理、内部控制、风险管理概念两两辨析的基础上,认为公司治理、内部控制、风险管理三者的最终目标是相同的:即提高企业的期望收益水平.这就要求我们在企业绩效评价时,不但要关注实际效益指标,还要关注影响效益稳定的公司治理、内部控制和风险管理因素,并将这些因素纳入企业绩效评价体系,这样才能更好的评价企业的期望收益水平;与此同时,将这些因素纳入评价体系,有助于提高公司治理、内部控制与风险管理水平,从而进一步提高期望收益水平,提升公司价值.  相似文献   

公立高校法人制度的双界性：法源、问题与治理     

金家新  张力 《复旦教育论坛》2015,(1)

建立和完善中国特色的现代大学制度必须确立和坚持法人化治理结构。法人化既使我公立高校获得了公权主体身份,也使其具有了相对独立的私权主体资格。公立高校法人明显地具有机关法人色彩,同时也具有我国《民法通则》所规定的民事法人特质。高校法人的双界性导致了法人治理结构内外部的制衡与保障机制并未得到建立与遵守,公立高校的公益性没有得到准确、有效的发挥。因此,我们需要秉持“良法”与“善治”的精神,建立以学术权力和教育权力为主体的高校法人治理结构。  相似文献   

Social Networks and Archival Context: From Project to Cooperative Archival Program     

Daniel Pitti  Rachael Hu  Ray Larson  Brian Tingle 《Journal Of Archival Organization》2015,12(1-2):77-97

This article highlights the objectives and outcomes of the multi-year Social Networks and Archival Context (SNAC) research and demonstration project and discusses related developments to establish a large-scale sustainable cooperative for maintaining information about creators of archival collections, leveraging the Encoded Archival Context—Corporate Bodies, Persons, and Families (EAC-CPF) standard. The article discusses processes developed to derive EAC-CPF records from existing EAD finding aids, MARCXML records, and original authority records, enrichment of those records from other sources, and the creation of a prototype research resource, providing integrated access to dispersed archival collections and the social-historical context of the collections.  相似文献   

兰州市饭店人力资源管理理念创新     

展丽蕊 《河西学院学报》2014,(3):116-119

复杂人假设产生了超Y理论,成为权变理论的理论基础,这种权变理论已被现代西方酒店管理集团大量应用于人力资源的管理上,并取得不少成果,极大地丰富了人力资源管理实践。国内发达地区的酒店也纷纷效仿,在人力资源管理的观念上、手段上,大量采用"超Y理论",对国内饭店业的管理水平起到了很大的推动作用。兰州市地处内陆,相对封闭,饭店业本身的发展已滞后于国内平均水平。因此,对于兰州市的饭店业而言,转换管理观念已是当务之急,只有引入国际先进的酒店管理理论和管理方法,才能使目前饭店业的经营管理模式发生质的飞跃。  相似文献
