Commissioned by Dov Seidman, boss of LRN, a firm that advises on corporate culture, andauthor of How ,LRN的老板、同時也是《怎么做到的?》a book arguing that the way firms do business matters as much as what they do, andconducted by the Boston Research Group, the National Governance, Culture and LeadershipAssessment is based on a survey of thousands of American employees, from every rung ofthe corporate ?塞德曼委托波士頓研究集團進行這項 國家治理、文化和領(lǐng)導(dǎo)能力評估 的研究,該研究是以對來自公司各個級別的數(shù)千位美國雇員的調(diào)查為基礎(chǔ)的。Nearly every big firm claims to be building a more caring and ethical 幾乎每一家大型企業(yè)都宣稱自身正在發(fā)展更為關(guān)懷體貼、合乎道德的企業(yè)文化。PepsiCo has started preaching a creed of performance with : 目的性績效。and is trying to instil a valuesbased culture, in which employees can be trusted to do theright thing because they know what the firm stands ,沃爾瑪正嘗試逐漸培養(yǎng)一種以價值觀為基礎(chǔ)的公司文化,在這種文化中,員工了解公司的主張,所以能夠得到公司的信任,去做他們認為正確的事情。AS WALMART grew into the world s largest retailer, its staff were subjected to a long list ofdos and don ts covering every aspect of their

JWST, if it does eventually fly, would surely do some spectacular size ofits mirror25 square metres, as against Hubble s —and the location of its orbit far from thereflected light of Earth will allow

被認為是加快宇宙膨脹的主要原因。盡管航天局發(fā)布消息說其他項目將僅僅被推遲,但是仍然存在一些項目被完全終止的可怕結(jié)果。在9月1日,在望遠鏡保護人的游說下,眾議院通過了恢復(fù)望遠鏡基金的議案。但是隨著公共花費削減正隱隱約約呈現(xiàn)并且對NASA未來的預(yù)期并不景氣,它正造成真的擔(dān)憂。這臺名為JWST的新機器仍然還在工作間,并且它的發(fā)射日期一再被推演,按照以往的經(jīng)驗推測,這筆預(yù)算還會繼續(xù)增加。這個繼任者計劃在2010年起飛,而且只花25億美元,因此當(dāng)時很容易就通過了。哈勃望遠鏡所提供的美妙圖片已經(jīng)將一代又一代人引入天文學(xué)奇觀中去。有助于發(fā)現(xiàn)宇宙趨于加速膨脹的奇特現(xiàn)象。它也產(chǎn)生了一系列科學(xué)成果:證實了大多數(shù)星系中間都有一個黑洞。and

galaxies have a black hole in the

Day說,過去的網(wǎng)絡(luò)犯罪多多少少有點 隨機性,不法分子只是在到處找尋他們可以突破的漏洞而已。換句話說,大部分花費支付給了另一類行業(yè):計算機安全保障行業(yè)。The team s report, published this month, shies away from adding up totals, preferring toassess the costs

沒有明顯基礎(chǔ)。他們的業(yè)務(wù)收入達到210億英鎊,大部分涉及偷取商業(yè)機密和行業(yè)間諜活動。在之前提到的事例中,Evan先生的8億美金就算偏高了。公司企業(yè)聲稱他們經(jīng)常受到網(wǎng)絡(luò)攻擊,其形式更甚高明,但他們卻不愿意公布,如果他們的漏洞被盯上的話,他們受入侵的次數(shù)以及受損程度會是多少,估計損失也被低估。INVNT/IP是一家新成立的技術(shù)公司,他的總裁Mark

profits are being eroded by newers such as Iliad,which will launch its new mobile service in firm’s shares performed far worse thanthose of its European peers in 2009, says Antoine Pradayrol of Exane BNP Paribas, want to know how Mr Richard will fend off France Tele’s rivals aswell as how he will cheer up its ,法國電信在國內(nèi)的收入占到運作資金的2/3。他以機頂盒舉例,伊里亞特推出的產(chǎn)品只有一種類型,法國電信的同類產(chǎn)品竟有 140種類型,每種類型還有換代產(chǎn)品,大大增加了操作的難度。In the past, says Mr Richard, France Tele, having recruited most of the graduates of theXCorps des Teles, the most elite stream of teles students, “thought there were fewskills or knowledge on teles outside France Tele”.Engineers still tend to call theshots, rather than marketing Iliad offers just one kind of settop box, hepoints out, the equivalent product from France Tele appears in 140 different types andgenerations, resulting in far too much plexity for users.“We must not lose oursuperiority in technology, research and development and innovation,” he says, “but weneed to be more marketingoriented and mindful of customers”.Richard指出,法國電信過去一直聘用名門院校的通信高材生,“認為在技術(shù)智能方面,除了法國電信,再無業(yè)界翹楚。在他的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)下,法國電信會成長為更具威脅性的對手。Xavier
