Collaborative Implementation Network Structures: Cultural Tourism Implementation in an English Seaside Context

Strategic policy has to be implemented within complex operating environments where organisations have to perform within an inter-dependent production process in a dynamic mix of competition and cooperation. This suggests that network structures need to be in place that allow for both collaboration and competition whilst mitigating against structural fragmentation. The aim of this research was to further the understanding of control and communication mechanisms and collaboration in policy implementation networks and focus upon problems of structural fragmentation in these complex policy environments. This research used a systems approach to develop a methodological framework based on Beer’s Viable System Model, work by Espejo and Social Network Analysis. The research was set in a tourism ‘cluster’ in an English seaside context, which is that part of the Yorkshire coast covered by the Scarborough Borough Council local authority, where a more culturally focussed tourism product was being introduced.     

Moral trust & scientific collaboration

Modern scientific knowledge is increasingly collaborative. Much analysis in social epistemology models scientists as self-interested agents motivated by external inducements and sanctions. However, less research exists on the epistemic import of scientists’ moral concern for their colleagues. I argue that scientists’ trust in their colleagues’ moral motivations is a key component of the rationality of collaboration. On the prevailing account, trust is a matter of mere reliance on the self-interest of one’s colleagues. That is, scientists merely rely on external compulsion to motivate self-interested colleagues to be trustworthy collaborators. I show that this self-interest account has significant limitations. First, it cannot fully account for trust by relatively powerless scientists. Second, reliance on self-interest can be self-defeating. For each limitation, I show that moral trust can bridge the gap—when members of the scientific community cannot rely on the self-interest of their colleagues, they rationally place trust in the moral motivations of their colleagues. Case studies of mid-twentieth-century industrial laboratories and exploitation of junior scientists show that such moral trust justifies collaboration when mere reliance on the self-interest of colleagues would be irrational. Thus, this paper provides a more complete and realistic account of the rationality of scientific collaboration.     

Research on International Fair Play Committee

The International Fair Play Committee(CFIP) is committed to promote the social communication and development of the spirit of fair play and strive for the creation of a peaceful and beautiful word.This paper discusses the CIFP's disregard of Fair Starting so as to lay foundation for further understanding of CIFP and its nature of work by taking the historical motivation and legality of CIFP as the cut-in point from the critical perspective.It suggests that CIFP should tamp the ideal of fair play,re-establish the fair play value system,and conduct effective reform of organization and cause correspondingly instead of becoming agent of European centralism and American hegemonism.     

International Fair Play Committee and Olympic spirit

On the premise that the goal and nature of work remain the same,in order to desalt the regional culture of Europe,it took the internationalism road of pervasive value,thus the International Committee for the Organization of the Pierre de Coubertin Fair Play Awards was renamed as International Fair Play Committee.     

光纤之父——高锟

出身于书香门第 1933年11月4日,高锟(图1)出生于上海附近的金山县(现在改为上海市金山区)张堰古镇一个书香之家. 高锟的父亲高君湘在上海南洋大学(上海交通大学前身)法律专业毕业后留学美国,归国后成为20世纪40年代上海著名的大律师.高锟的父亲和母亲金静芳于1923年9月结婚.他们的婚姻完全按传统方式进行.首先由媒人认为两家门当户对,接着就开始提亲;其后极重要的一步是把两人的生辰八字经过一番计算.如果认为十分相配,到年龄合适的时候就可以完婚.金静芳是金山北边20多里地的宝山县人,她的父亲金巨山(1881-1961,别名其源)也是近代著名学者,曾任江苏省议会议员,罗阳二等学堂校董,旦华学院校董等职;曾积数十年之心得写出《读书管见》一书,1956年9月任职于上海文史馆.     

河南高等教育境外消费服务贸易的研究

境外消费是高等教育服务贸易的主要形式,目前国际高等教育服务贸易发展迅速,境外消费（留学生教育）服务贸易规模不断扩大。本文调查了河南省高等教育境外消费服务贸易的现状,认为河南高等教育相对落后,高等教育服务贸易水平偏低,境外消费服务贸易更为落后,存在留学生数量偏低、学科专业分布不均衡、学历层次不高、扶持留学生教育具体措施欠缺等问题。在此基础上尝试提出有关对策建议。     

浦东国际机场鸟情信息系统的设计和建立

由于鸟撞造成的巨大损失,鸟撞防范工作日益受到人们的重视。在浦东国际机场采取生态驱鸟的基础上,笔者在国内首次将计算机技术和乌类学知识相结合,制作了“浦东国际机场鸟情信息系统”,帮助机场工作人员了解实时实地的鸟情,作好机场的鸟撞防范工作。作者介绍了系统设计遵循的原则,详述了系统的数据库、逻辑结构和功能组成,并简要介绍了系统实现的途径。最后笔者对机场鸟情信息系统的应用和开发前景进行了展望。

“世界英语”“作为通用语的英语”与“作为国际语的英语”术语辨析

“世界英语”“作为通用语的英语”“作为国际语的英语”虽然都可以用来谈论英语在世界范围内的使用和地位,但它们是不同的概念,不能混淆。文章依据社会语言学理论探究这三个语言学汉译术语背后的概念并阐述其联系和区别,令术语使用更加规范。     

对医学留学生在华实习的“一加1+1”临床带教模式的探索与分析

我校已有两届留学生完成或即将完成临床实习,其中部分留学生是在中国完成的实习。期间,我校积累了宝贵的留学生临床带教经验,探索尝试并采用了"一加1+1"的临床带教模式,即在一名带教教师的指导下,1名留学生与1名七年制学生结对实习,相互学习、共同提高。经过两届学生的检验,效果显著。
