Dealing with a Differentiated Whole: The Philosophy of the WSR Approach

This paper seeks to explore a philosophical ground for the formulation and practice of an Oriental systems methodology, the wuli–shili–renli approach (WSR). Drawing insights from ancient Chinese thought, WSR contends that, in sociotechnical systems design/management, we should investigate and follow wuli, shili, and renli, which constitute a differentiable, dynamic whole. Wuli, shili, and renli condition and determine the fate of our projects, meaning different methods are needed to deal with each differentiable aspect. It also points out that, to deal with wuli, shili, and renli properly, we need to engage in encounters with the "dark side" of Confucianism and with the contemporary tendency of scientism.     

Power-Based Arbitrary Decisional Actions in the Resolution of MIS Project Issues: A Project Manager's Action Research Perspective

As a management information systems (MIS) project manager and an action researcher, the author examined, over time, the influence on information system development (ISD) of the informal sociopolitical organizational actions. The paper reports two cases of action research findings concerning the effect on ISD project implementation processes of power-based arbitrary decisional actions in bureaucratic environments. The research focused on the relationship of such unilateral actions to the interconnected subprocesses of deliberate and conscious attempts by the ISD project members to define and resolve system implementation issues. A suggested conceptual framework for the issue-resolution processes (IRP's) and obstacle-coping processes (OCP's) is based on the author's IRP/OCP-related behavioral constructs and theoretical models dealing with soft-systems issues, especially appreciative system theory and soft-systems methodology, and innovative flexible, "complementarist" (Sinn, 1998) or pluralist problem-solving approaches.     

基于Agent油田前磁信息数字化信息管理系统的研究

为了实现在石油工业地质研究中用先进的网络系统管理前磁信息数据,使用面向Agent的软件工程方法——Gaia方法详细分析了油田前磁信息数字化信息管理系统,建立了该系统的分析模型和设计模型,将Gaia和OAA的系统分析与设计方法应用在基于Multi Agent前磁信息处理系统中.本文应用Gaia的分析方法建立了系统的角色模型,在此基础上构建了基于Multi Agent前磁信息数据处理整体框架体系,该体系也可基于异构平台的数据环境.     

厂商利润最大化理论之经济哲学透视

MR(边际收益)=MC(边际成本)是完全竞争市场上厂商实现利润最大化的均衡条件。这一理论在当今主流经济学家眼里是不可动摇的金科玉律。然而,这一理论的科学性甚至是经济学的科学性仍受到一些人的质疑。针对此,以经济哲学和科学哲学的视角,对这一理论的科学品格问题进行了全面审视。     

静养善端与道翱翔--陈白沙心学方法论基本框架探奥

主静说和通变说是陈白沙心学方法论中的两条经纬线。前者是指通过澄心、静思而达到自得，此谓悟道。后者系指以静驭动，知几而作，随时以变，是为用道。由此向人们展示了一条以静虚为本、将知情意融为一体、在精神上和践履上都臻于真善美统一的人生理想境界的修养路径。表面看来，这种方法论颇似禅学，实际上其思想体系则与释道迥异。     

星点设计-效应面法优选淋必通颗粒的成型工艺

为了优选淋必通颗粒的成型工艺，以成型率、休止角、吸湿率、溶化性4项的总评OD值作为总评价指标，以辅料用量、乙醇体积分数、乙醇使用量作为考察因素，以星点设计-效应面法优选出淋必通颗粒的成型工艺。结果表明，淋必通颗粒的最佳成型工艺条件为m(干膏):m(糊精）为1:1，乙醇体积分数为90.0%，乙醇用量为每10.0 g干膏粉加90.0%的乙醇6.0 g。总评OD值均值为0.740 1，与预测值0.766 3相当。该方法预测性强，稳定性好，制备的淋必通颗粒具有成型率高、流动性好、抗吸湿性强及溶化性好的特点，为该复方制剂的工业化生产提供了理论参考。     

《缀术算经》:东亚数学归纳推理的典范

《缀术算经》是日本和算家建部贤弘最富创造性的一部和算著作,代表了当时日本数学发展的最高成就。文章在前人工作的基础上,从数学传播史和比较数学史的角度,将其置于整个汉字文化圈数学文化背景下,对其数学内容、思想实质与中国传统数学的关系予以深入分析,对其数学成就与建部贤弘的数学方法论予以客观公正的评价。     

The Use of Soft Systems Methodology to Enhance Group Creativity

Soft Systems Methodology is especially useful in diagnosing and addressing organizational problems and designing new systems in cultures that are characterised by pluralistic views and values. This paper demonstrates how SSM workshops in a large government agency resulted in a high level of creativity. SSM is then proposed as a methodology that could enhance group creativity in organizational design contexts.     

论民间法范式的研究方法

民间法研究方法主要通过其他人文和社会科学方法的借鉴而形成，包括主位方法、共时方法、动态方法，它们既可以适用结构主义又可以适用功能主义的立场。在研究民间法时须以三种方法联合使用，具体通过观察和“看”的方式进行。
