【摘要】

目的——由于不断上升的医疗成本和对提高效率、性价比和生产率方面改进的性能证明的重视,以及近来满意度降低的患者和利益相关方在一定程度上的需求,改革的压力在政治驱动下与日俱增。在新浸入的昂贵的科技和药物背景下,越来越多的消费者对优质的服务有所期望。与此同时,医疗系统管理人员和医务人员发现很难解决需求和质量要求。临床医生感到沮丧,因为他们的贡献不被承认。管理人员同样感到沮丧,因为与临床医生缺乏有意义的交流,这加剧了向更高效系统转型的需求,这样的系统能满足所有关于成本效益和可持续优质服务的观点。很多起先被管理质量大师们应用于工程行业的策略已经被应用于医疗行业,而成功与否很大程度上取决于它们所应用的医疗保健系统的类型。

设计/方法/途径——业务流程再造在过去和最近的出版物中被认为是一种质量管理工具。

发现——本文认为,在适当情况下应用业务流程再造以及选择好需要进行质量改进的机构是其成功的关键。它当然“不适用于每一个人”。

独创性/价值——本论文就分析英国医疗保健业的经验,提出了关于业务流程再造的关键评估。关于选择组织和同意现实预期的经验教训得以解决。自1987年以来美国医疗保健对业务流程再造进行评估和审查,得不到经验教训的原因很可能在于单位的选择以及事实上以前从未同时对两个完全不同的单位进行过比较。然而,英国两个试点的研究得出了有益的见解。

医疗保健业质量管理史

为了了解医疗保健机构如何对工业开发工具产生兴趣,以及业务流程再造(BPR)

如何作为一种选择出现,我们就要回顾医疗保健全国实证项目(NDP)中的质量改进项目,它在1987年作为一个实验项目实施(Godfrey, n.d.)。

总共有21家医疗保健机构参与并承诺支持这项为期八个月的研究。目的是为了看看工业质量改进方法在医疗保健业中的适用性。这些医疗保健机构提供的支持包括免费顾问、材料、培训课程和评审。赞助公司包括许多美国的领导机构,如康宁、福特、惠普、IBM(国际商用机器)和施乐公司。很明显,在这个项目的评估的最后阶段,21家医疗保健机构中有15家取得了显著的发展——主要体现在财政及病人满意度的增长,目标和项目计时,以及在研究和开发中的投资。该全国实证项目延续了三年,最终演变成了改善医疗保健的研究所,这个研究所是一个不以营利为目的的组织,致力于提供医疗保健质量管理的领导。此后,业务流程再造出现了,为在缓慢的进步中挫败的组织中的管理人员提供了一项选择,而不是围绕整个组织去进行全面质量管理(TQM)。全面质量管理的主要目标是改变一个组织的结构、文化和对病人/消费者的服务,而不是以组织为中心(Harvey和Millett,1999)。

为什么要改变?

传统的医疗保健体系通常被临床医生所“统治”(Shutt,2003),因为病人是直接结果。也就是说,使病人从疾病中康复是所有直接参与病人护理的专家们的唯一责任。医疗保健研究中的复杂性与多样性显示,结果可能包含很多决定因素,即配药学,病理学,技术支持和信息技术。它同样显示了成本控制和高质量的治疗需要团队合作、沟通和时间管理等(Shutt,2003)。罗伊·格里菲思先生在二十世纪八十年代初开始发展医院综合管理,使临床医生更多地参与资源管理举措(DHSS,1984)。如今,除了政治动机以外,逐步上升的医疗保健成本、增长的优质护理需求、服务的性价比、病人的期望和在管理医疗保健体系的第三方付款人这些因素都促进了改变。以上因素都推动了医疗保健体系向更高效体制转变的需要。

什么是业务流程再造?

业务流程再造,也叫业务转化和流程改变管理,是1900年弗雷德里克·泰勒在其文章《科学管理原则》中被引入到了商界(维基百科,2006)。1990年,哈默和钱皮(1993)引入企业再造,业务流程再造由此诞生。

业务流程再造是“对组织内和组织间的工作流程和步骤进行分析和设计”(Devenport和Short,1990)。另一方面,Teng等人(1994)将业务流程再造定义为对现有业务流程进行重要分析和彻底改善,从而在业绩度量上获得突破性的进步。与之相似,哈默和钱皮把业务流程再造定义为对业务流程进行根本的再思考和彻底的再设计,以在关键时期业绩度量中取得卓越的改进,如成本、质量、服务和速度。以一个医疗保健的观点来看,业务流程再造是一种对业务的现有习惯和流程及其相互作用

进行再思考的管理途径。它试图通过应用基础且根本的途径,即减少或取消非增值活动以及重建流程、结构或文化来提高潜在的流程效率(McNulty和Ferlie,2000)。但是,在医疗保健领域,广泛多样的病患群使沿着这条线路重新设计医疗保健服务成为一个复杂的项目,因此使得其对环境和时间的改变异常敏感。

业务流程再造基本特点

医疗保健的业务流程再造方法意味着重新开始,并利用以病人为中心的方法对服务进行再思考。事后看来,业务流程再造认为停滞是由流程中不必要的步骤和潜在错误引起的。人们推测,通过消除这些错误来对流程进行再设计很大程度提高了医疗质量。业务流程方法因此引发了人们对戏剧性结果的期待。结果就是投资的高收益能被预期。泰勒在其业务流程再造框架中解释了这种具有战略计划的流程(维基百科,2006):

?定义业务流程再造的目的和目标;

?识别出满足客户需求的要求;

?定义项目范围,包括适当的活动,例如绘制流程图;

?利用力场分析对环境进行评估;

?再造业务流程和活动;

?实现流程再设计;

?监控新设计的成败。

业务流程再造与全面质量管理

在医疗保健方面,将BPR与其它流行的质量管理工具相比较能帮助我们体会到它的主要特征并使其更加突出(Harvey和Millett,1999)。全面质量管理(TQM)或持续质量改进(CQI)指强调在工作流程中增值的改进和在一个开放时间段内的输出的程序和举措。相比之下,业务流程再造倾向于离散的项目,其目的是在一个时间框架内彻底地再设计并改善工作流程。一些人认为全面质量管理对于医疗保健行业的质量提升是最适合的,尽管它的增值效果是逐步且缓慢的,但却是整体全面的方法。在实践中,全面质量管理和业务流程再造是以客户为导向,它们都鼓励管理人员和从业人员以客户为视点。两者都是涉及过程控制的团队方法。倾向于全面质量管理的人认为现有的医疗方法和体系大体上是对的,但需要加以改进。另一方面,业务流程再造的支持者们认为医疗保健的体系和做法是有缺陷的,需要更换。那些使用全面质量管理的人期望并相信业绩会逐步上升,他们反对那些寻找戏剧性结果的业务流程再造专家。全面质量管理的目的是在所有步骤中提高所有利益相关者的等级,而业务流程再造的目标仅为具体指定的范围。全面质量管理的关键点是标准化和支持性文件。它相信持续且有成本效益的成绩,并且最小化流程和系统缺陷,阻止而不是修正问题(Field

和Swift,1996)。另一方面,那些使用业务流程再造方法的人是灵活的,并且他们认为标准化会增加流程的复杂性(Harvey和Millett,1999)。虽然如此,业务流程再造是一项巨大的改变,这导致了员工的反对。此外,它是一个自上而下的方法,因此管理层的支持和承诺是成功的关键。因此,当用于“病态组织”时,创新是一个充满风险的过程。

全面质量管理的增量法在另一方面遵循循序渐进的方法,主要是自下而上。它涉及到员工,并且通常以戴明环原则为基础,通过计划、实施、研究、行动(PDSA)进行直接改善。因此全面质量管理适合在任何组织中进行质量改进,尽管可能需要一些修正,以适应环境。当不同的流程应用于不同情况时,管理型医疗保健体系的应用会产生不同的结果。因此业务流程再造可能不适用于每一个人,因为它在病态组织中或在存在根本缺陷的系统中效果会更好(Bashein等,1994)。全面质量管理方法是关于文化的改变,因为它被构建于实践中,与每天的日常事务挂钩。业务流程再造方法是一个以目标为导向的流程,它对时间很敏感,因为如果没有按计划完成目标,就可能面临失败的危险。全面质量管理的主要促成者是统计流程控制,而业务流程再造的促成者是信息和技术(Harvey和Millett,1999)。

将业务流程再造应用于医疗服务质量改进的优势

将业务流程再造运用于医疗领域是对组织中管理人员的失败作出的回应,他们意识到全面质量管理的递增论和它获得组织范围改变的能力都失败了。国王学院医院的经历(Grimes,2000;Harrison等,1992)表明,在这种其它的努力和方法都失败的情况下,业务流程再造可能是将效率达到前所未有水平最好的尝试。改变的驱动力量是对于发展为更高效系统的渴望,该系统能满足消费者对服务质量和性价比的需求(Bowns和McNulty,1999)。同时,业务流程再造使在不必花费更多的情况下维持这种质量成为可能,尽管我们知道医疗花费正在急剧上升。在国王项目里,第三个也是最重要的渴望是提高专业人才的工作满意度,他们认为这是他们应得的。

业务流程再造的目的是以医疗保健为导向、以病人为中心,而不是组织的需求。该方法侧重于对流程进行再思考并重新设计,给员工详细机会重访细节服务,从而指出需要改进的地方。它取消了流程中所有非增值和不必要的步骤,使服务更有效率。尽管它被自上而下的管理,被管理人员和领导所统治,在核心层面上做出决定来增强团队的能力。业务流程再造方法提供了一个灵活的工作环境、文化和工作实践。这对困难重重且业绩不佳的组织是有价值的。在这种危机中,再造可能是使组织生存的唯一方式(Harvey和Millett,1999)。当发现主要结构和文化有缺陷明显导致是业绩不佳的原因时,业务流程再造是处理这种场景最好的方式——从国王学院医院的经历中可以明显得出(Bowns和McNulty,1999)。

业务流程再造在医疗保健质量改善中的限制

我们知道,业务流程再造是一个自上而下的方法,员工可能会抵制。它被自治的临床专业人员引用为“一个残忍且不适合的技术”(Jones,1996)。医疗保健领域中临床医生是关键角色,因此,在此实施业务流程再造不仅困难,而且不安全(McNulty 和Ferlie,2000)。因此,业务流程再造可能导致所有权丧失、员工积极性减弱,因为他们没有加入计划和改变管理。一般情况下,雇员不太容易理解这种变化过程(Jones,1996):

质量似乎不太可能来临,如果再造以刚性和机械的方式自上而下强制进行……如果要进行有效且可持续的组织变革,这就需要雇员积极参与,相互学习,而不是勉强遵守管理者的命令。

欧洲公共服务体系的质量改进体现了医疗保健体系中作为工具的全面质量管理和业务流程再造。它承认许多包括全面质量管理和再造在内的能提高质量的业务办法,都没有考虑到医疗保健的复杂性和专业化知识的本质。用于大部分这些项目的语言和价值观对临床医生而言很陌生,他们将其视为一种潮流而拒绝。看来,如果业务流程再造要提高相同幅度的质量,就需要大规模文化和结构的改变。彻底的隔夜转型听起来给人印象深刻,但不现实。结构和文化的改变需要时间去发展、被接受并且被各级吸收,尤其是在医疗保健机构里。简而言之,业务流程再造是一个高成本且高风险的项目。

70%的企业不能达到他们的目标——业务流程再造的成功率为30%。另一方面,回顾一下文献资料,在医疗保健领域中没有成功的数据。大部分时间里业务流程再造承载着不切实际的范围和期望,这可能是导致70%失败率的原因。其自上而下的性质和成功取决于持续的管理承诺和卓越的领导,这不容易被测量,也可能达不到所需的阈值。业务流程再造可能只能在时间上改变一个单位。若要变得有意义,它随后需要持续质量改进的运作。一旦发生变化,以业务流程再造为基础的改变需要持续质量改进项目来维持结果。业务流程再造不人性化的过程始终备受争议——从Jones(1996)的言论中可以明显看出

这种观点被视为促进想法,你可以设计一个完美的流程,它严格按照你的计划准确地执行,组织的机器将完美运作。整个过程有关可靠性一方的设置问题上,业务流程再造显然忽略了人类创造性在工作流程中的重要作用。

正如我们刚才提出的,业务流程再造通常在一个时间上对一个流程进行创新,而不是整个组织的方法。因此,流程的更改可能不会对那些可以被测量的整体组织业绩造成影响,尤其是那些能被消费者感觉到的。换句话说,业务流程再造可能对一个特殊的流程能产生巨大作用,但几乎不能对整个组织业绩产生影响。一个简单的提高住院病人的例子说明了业务流程再造不能独立地改善服务,还需要改善日常护理、门诊

病人、初级保健和急诊服务。以上所有都对组织的住院病人的服务有影响,因为它们相互联系并相互依赖。此外,在这种情况下很难评估业务流程再造的效果,因为国家医疗服务组织缺乏特殊的度量标准(Bowns和McNulty,1999)。

业务流程再造适用于医疗保健体系的程度

英国业务流程再造医疗保健经验来自于两个中央资助试点的研究:

(1)伦敦国王学院医院(KCH);以及

(2)莱斯特皇家医院(LRI)。

国王学院医院项目由布鲁内尔团队进行评估(Packwood等,1998;Grimes,2000),莱斯特皇家医院计划由谢菲尔德和华威评估(Bowns和McNulty,1999)。评估期间这些组织的雇员分享了他们的业务流程再造经验。结果两个研究都产生了有趣且有价值的发现,它们强调业务流程再造能在何种程度上应用于医疗保健体系。然而两家医院是两种截然不同的极端,即国王学院医院在研究期间是一个“病态”的单元,而莱斯特皇家医院是最好的教学医院之一(McNulty和Ferlie,2000),几乎没有什么可改善的。在试点研究结束后,报告很明显地显示两家医院都没有达到预期,尤其是巨大的改变和在业务流程再造项目开始时预计的改善。两家医院都减少了等待时间,且诊断流程更迅速。除了这些改进,国王学院医院还节约了一百万英镑(Grimes,2000)——归因于通过消除非增值活动并绘制流程图和对更新的系统提高效率来“减少浪费”(Packwood 等,1998)。这表明了业务流程再造不适用于每一个人,选择好业务流程再造能够应用的单元对于达到理想的效果很重要。当两家医院进行试点研究时,他们也继续推进在流程中不同层面上的通用的和核心的改进举措,因此很难将成功单独归功于业务流程再造,也很难评估其对整体改善的相对贡献。

一种能识别出合适的子流程来应用业务流程再造的方法是挨家挨户绘制流程图,这有助于抓住所有流程构成要素并应用精益方法(Jones和Mitchell,2006)。通过识别增值活动来突出非增值活动。每个非增值活动都能被测量和分析,以评估其影响和消除该活动的方法。资源可用性、截止日期、成本、通用技术等都迫切需要改变来帮助用户选择正确的改善工具。此外,如刚才所说,管理变革的成功与团队士气、所有权和动机密切相关。因此,想要在医疗保健服务业实现质量,两个来自不同文化背景、拥有不同知识领域的关键员工群体——管理人员和临床医生,需要作为一个团队来工作。如果要完成一个困难的任务,理解和合作是至关重要的(Shortell等,1998)。然而,业务流程再造在考虑流程中的人因时的不足可能使它很难融入到医疗保健服务。业务流程再造方法听起来令人印象深刻但是却不现实是因为温和的结构和文化改变需要时间去发展,尤其是在医疗保健机构中。我们相信业务流程再造能够帮助改进医疗服务,如果它是经过精心的策划并勤勉地去应用。简而言之,尽管业务流程再造

有限制因素,它仍有能力实现显著的结果,因为它迫使员工将方案或过程作为一个整体从外部思考问题并按时完成工作(Bowns和McNulty,1999)。

结论和建议

医疗保健业是比任何制造业更复杂的系统。作为一个主要以人为构成要素的服务提供者,它具有安全和效率问题,而不是成本和功效,正是这一点才使医疗保健业与其他行业分离开来。业务流程再造和其它提高服务质量的单个方法类似,它可能不适用于医疗保健业(Shortell和Ferlie,2001),因为它又许多子流程组成。它在不同水平上有许多利益相关者,而且它的内部消费者和外部消费者有多种多样的需求。我们接受业务流程再造可以作为改善一些子过程或子单元活动的工具。在莱斯特皇家医院发生的一个例子尝试在床位管理、病理学和门诊服务创新等活动中将业务流程再造作为质量改善工具,但是没有将该方法应用于临床医生的精确度要求很高的地方和该方法很难被接受的地方。因此,在这些领域中,人们对这些方法在质量改善上的适用性的意见喜忧参半。也就是说,全面质量管理和业务流程再造在理想情况下应始终遵循持续质量改进方法来持续有效地改善服务。简而言之,为企业设计的质量管理工具应经过适当的选择,小心谨慎地应用于医疗服务业。

工业设计原著选读 优秀的产品设计 第一个拨号电话1897年由卡罗耳Gantz 第一个拨号电话在1897年被自动电器公司引入,成立于1891年布朗强,一名勘萨斯州承担者。在1889年,相信铃声“中央交换”将转移来电给竞争对手,强发明了被拨号系统控制的自动交换机系统。这个系统在1892年第一次在拉波特完成史端乔系统中被安装。1897年,强的模型电话,然而模型扶轮拨条的位置没有类似于轮齿约170度,以及边缘拨阀瓣。电话,当然是被亚历山大格雷厄姆贝尔(1847—1922)在1876年发明的。第一个商业交换始建于1878(12个使用者),在1879年,多交换机系统由工程师勒罗伊B 菲尔曼发明,使电话取得商业成功,用户在1890年达到250000。 直到1894年,贝尔原批专利过期,贝尔电话公司在市场上有一个虚拟的垄断。他们已经成功侵权投诉反对至少600竞争者。该公司曾在1896年,刚刚在中央交易所推出了电源的“普通电池”制度。在那之前,一个人有手摇电话以提供足够的电力呼叫。一个连接可能仍然只能在给予该人的名义下提出要求达到一个电话接线员。这是强改变的原因。 强很快成为贝尔的强大竞争者。他在1901年引进了一个桌面拨号模型,这个模型在设计方面比贝尔的模型更加清晰。在1902年,他引进了一个带有磁盘拨号的墙面电话,这次与实际指孔,仍然只有170度左右在磁盘周围。到1905年,一个“长距离”手指孔已经被增加了。最后一个强的知名模型是在1907年。强的专利大概过期于1914年,之后他或他的公司再也没有听到过。直到1919年贝尔引进了拨号系统。当他们这样做,在拨号盘的周围手指孔被充分扩展了。 强发明的拨号系统直到1922年进入像纽约一样的大城市才成为主流。但是一旦作为规规范被确立,直到70年代它仍然是主要的电话技术。后按键式拨号在1963年被推出之后,强发明的最初的手指拨号系统作为“旋转的拨号系统”而知名。这是强怎样“让你的手指拨号”的。 埃姆斯椅LCW和DCW 1947 这些带有复合曲线座位,靠背和橡胶防震装置的成型胶合板椅是由查尔斯埃姆斯设计,在赫曼米勒家具公司生产的。 这个原始的概念是被查尔斯埃姆斯(1907—1978)和埃罗沙里宁(1910—1961)在1940年合作构想出来的。在1937年,埃姆斯成为克兰布鲁克学院实验设计部门的领头人,和沙里宁一起工作调查材料和家具。在这些努力下,埃姆斯发明了分成薄片和成型胶合板夹板,被称作埃姆斯夹板,在1941年收到了来自美国海军5000人的订单。查尔斯和他的妻子雷在他们威尼斯,钙的工作室及工厂和埃文斯产品公司的生产厂家一起生产了这批订单。 在1941年现代艺术博物馆,艾略特诺伊斯组织了一场比赛用以发现对现代生活富有想象力的设计师。奖项颁发给了埃姆斯和沙里宁他们的椅子和存储碎片,由包括埃德加考夫曼,大都会艺术博物馆的阿尔弗雷德,艾略特诺伊斯,马尔塞布鲁尔,弗兰克帕里什和建筑师爱德华达雷尔斯通的陪审团裁决。 这些椅子在1946年的现代艺术展览博物馆被展出,查尔斯埃姆斯设计的新的家具。当时,椅子只有三条腿,稳定性问题气馁了大规模生产。 早期的LCW(低木椅)和DWC(就餐木椅)设计有四条木腿在1946年第一次被埃文斯产品公司(埃姆斯的战时雇主)生产出来,被赫曼米勒家具公司分配。这些工具1946年被乔治纳尔逊为赫曼米勒购买,在1949年接手制造权。后来金属脚的愿景在1951年制作,包括LCW(低金属椅)和DWC(就餐金属椅)模型。配套的餐饮和咖啡桌也产生。这条线一直

世界贸易和国际贸易【外文翻译】

外文翻译 原文 World Trade and International Trade Material Source:https://www.wendangku.net/doc/b18302468.html, Author: Ted Alax In today’s complex economic world, neither individuals nor nations are self-sufficient. Nations have utilized different economic resources; people have developed different skills. This is the foundation of world trade and economic activity. As a result of this trade and activity, international finance and banking have evolved. For example, the United States is a major consumer of coffee, yet it does not have the climate to grow any or its own. Consequently, the United States must import coffee from countries (such as Brazil, Colombia and Guatemala) that grow coffee efficiently. On the other hand, the United States has large industrial plants capable of producing a variety of goods, such as chemicals and airplanes, which can be sold to nations that need them. If nations traded item for item, such as one automobile for 10,000 bags of coffee, foreign trade would be extremely cumbersome and restrictive. So instead of batter, which is trade of goods without an exchange of money, the United State receives money in payment for what it sells. It pays for Brazilian coffee with dollars, which Brazil can then use to buy wool from Australia, which in turn can buy textiles Great Britain, which can then buy tobacco from the United State. Foreign trade, the exchange of goods between nations, takes place for many reasons. The first, as mentioned above is that no nation has all of the commodities that it needs. Raw materials are scattered around the world. Large deposits of copper are mined in Peru and Zaire, diamonds are mined in South Africa and petroleum is recovered in the Middle East. Countries that do not have these resources within their own boundaries must buy from countries that export them. Foreign trade also occurs because a country often does not have enough of a particular item to meet its needs. Although the United States is a major producer of sugar, it consumes more than it can produce internally and thus must import sugar.

E---MARKETING (From:E--Marketing by Judy Strauss,Adel El--Ansary,Raymond Frost---3rd ed.1999 by Pearson Education pp .G4-G25.) As the growth of https://www.wendangku.net/doc/b18302468.html, shows, some marketing principles never change.Markets always welcome an innovative new product, even in a crowded field of competitors ,as long as it provides customer value.Also,Google`s success shows that customers trust good brands and that well-crafted marketing mix strategies can be effective in helping newcomers enter crowded markets. Nevertheless, organizations are scrambling to determine how they can use information technology profitably and to understand what technology means for their business strategies. Marketers want to know which of their time-ested concepts will be enhanced by the Internet, databases,wireless mobile devices, and other technologies. The rapid growth of the Internet and subsequent bursting of the dot-com bubble has marketers wondering,"What next?" This article attempts to answer these questions through careful and systematic examination of successful e-mar-keting strategies in light of proven traditional marketing practices. (Sales Promotion;E--Marketing;Internet;Strategic Planning ) 1.What is E--Marketing E--Marketing is the application of a broad range of information technologies for: Transforming marketing strategies to create more customer value through more effective segmentation ,and positioning strategies;More efficiently planning and executing the conception, distribution promotion,and pricing of goods,services,and ideas;andCreating exchanges that satisfy individual consumer and organizational customers` objectives. This definition sounds a lot like the definition of traditional marketing. Another way to view it is that e-marketing is the result of information technology applied to traditional marketing. E-marketing affects traditional marketing in two ways. First,it increases efficiency in traditional marketing strategies.The transformation results in new business models that add customer value and/or increase company profitability.

国际贸易中的企业【外文翻译】

外文翻译 原文 Firms in International Trade Material Source: https://www.wendangku.net/doc/b18302468.html, Author: Andrew B. Bernard For most of its lengthy history the field of international trade largely ignored the role of the firm in mediating the flow of goods and services. Traditional trade theory explained the flow of goods between countries in terms of comparative advantage, that is, variation in the opportunity costs of production across countries and industries. Even the research focusing on differentiated varieties and increasing returns to scale that followed Helpman and Krugman continued to retain the characterization of the representative firm.?However, the assumption of a representative firm, while greatly enhancing the tractability of general equilibrium analysis, is emphatically rejected in the data. My research over the past decade has been an attempt to explore international trade from below: to understand the decisions of heterogeneous firms in shaping international trade and their effects on productivity growth and welfare. Firm Heterogeneity and Trade My early work with J. Bradford Jensen was motivated by a simple question: what do we know about firms that trade? The answer at the time was "very little" and our initial efforts focused on locating firm-level data and describing the world of exporting firms. Our first study compared exporters and non-exporters for the entire U.S. manufacturing sector and established a set of facts about exporting plants and firms.?Two major results stand out. First, only a small fraction of firms are exporters at any given time. Even in sectors where the United States is thought to have comparative advantage, such as Instruments, a majority of firms produce only for the domestic market. Similarly, some firms are exporting even in net import sectors such as Textiles and Apparel. Second, exporters are substantially and significantly different than non-exporters, even in the same industry and region. Exporters are dramatically larger, more productive, pay higher wages, use more skilled workers, and are more technology- and capital-intensive than their non-exporting counterparts. In related

Interaction design Moggridge Bill Interaction design,Page 1-15 USA Art Press, 2008 Interaction design (IxD) is the study of devices with which a user can interact, in particular computer users. The practice typically centers on "embedding information technology into the ambient social complexities of the physical world."[1] It can also apply to other types of non-electronic products and services, and even organizations. Interaction design defines the behavior (the "interaction") of an artifact or system in response to its users. Malcolm McCullough has written, "As a consequence of pervasive computing, interaction design is poised to become one of the main liberal arts of the twenty-first century." Certain basic principles of cognitive psychology provide grounding for interaction design. These include mental models, mapping, interface metaphors, and affordances. Many of these are laid out in Donald Norman's influential book The Psychology of Everyday Things. As technologies are often overly complex for their intended target audience, interaction design aims to minimize the learning curve and to increase accuracy and efficiency of a task without diminishing usefulness. The objective is to reduce frustration and increase user productivity and satisfaction. Interaction design attempts to improve the usability and experience of the product, by first researching and understanding certain users' needs and then designing to meet and exceed them. (Figuring out who needs to use it, and how those people would like to use it.) Only by involving users who will use a product or system on a regular basis will designers be able to properly tailor and maximize usability. Involving real users, designers gain the ability to better understand user goals and experiences. (see also: User-centered design) There are also positive side effects which include enhanced system capability awareness and user ownership. It is important that the user be aware of system capabilities from an early stage so that expectations regarding functionality are both realistic and properly understood. Also, users who have been active participants in a product's development are more likely to feel a sense of ownership, thus increasing overall satisfa. Instructional design is a goal-oriented, user-centric approach to creating training and education software or written materials. Interaction design and instructional design both rely on cognitive psychology theories to focus on how users will interact with software. They both take an in-depth approach to analyzing the user's needs and goals. A needs analysis is often performed in both disciplines. Both, approach the design from the user's perspective. Both, involve gathering feedback from users, and making revisions until the product or service has been found to be effective. (Summative / formative evaluations) In many ways, instructional

Strategic transformations in Danish and Swedish big business in an era of globalisation, 1973-2008 The Danish and Swedish context In the difficult inter-war period, a state-supported, protected home market orientation had helped stabilise both Denmark’s and Sweden’s economies, but after WorldWar II priorities changed. Gradually and in accordance with the international economic development, restrictions on foreign trade were removed, and Danish and Swedish industry was exposed to international competition. As a consequence, several home market oriented industries –such as the textile and the shoe industry –were more or less outperformed, while in Sweden the engineering industry soon became the dominant leader of Swedish industry, with companies such as V olvo, Ericsson, Electrolux, ASEA and SKF. In the Danish case, the SMEs continued to be dominant but in combination with expanding export oriented industrial manufacturers such as Lego, Danfoss, Carlsberg and the shipping conglomerates ok and A.P. moller-Marsk. In Sweden and Denmark stable economic growth continued into the 1970s, but due to the problems during the oil crises, the economies came into fundamental structural troubles for the first time since World War II. In the beginning this was counteracted by traditional Keynesian policy measures. However, because of large budget deficits, inflation and increasing wages, both the Danish economy from 1974 and the Swedish economy from 1976 encountered severe problems. Towards the late 1970s Denmark’s and Sweden’s economic policies were thus increasingly questioned. It was clear that Keynesian policy could not solve all economic problems. Expansive fiscal policies in terms of continued deficits on the state budget could not compensate for the loss of both national and international markets and step by step the Keynesian economic policy was abandoned. The increased budget deficit also made it difficult for the state to support employment and regional development. These kinds of heavy governmental activities were also hardly acceptable under the more market oriented policy that developed first in Great Britain and the USA, but in the 1980s also in Denmark and Sweden (Iversen & Andersen, 2008, pp. 313–315; Sjo¨ gren, 2008, pp. 46–54). These changes in political priorities were especially noticeable in the financial market. After being the most state regulated and coordinated sector of the economy since the 1950s, then between 1980 and 1985 the Danish and Swedish financial markets underwent an extensive deregulation resulting in increased competition. Lending from banks and other credit institutes was no longer regulated, and neither were interest rates. The bond market was also opened as the issuance of new bond loans was deregulated in Sweden in 1983. When the control of foreign capital flows was liberalised in the late 1980s the last extraordinary restriction was now gone. Together with the establishment of the new money market with options and derivates, this opened up to a much larger credit market and the possibility for companies to finance investments and increase business domestically as well as abroad (Larsson, 1998, pp. 205–207). Another important part of the regulatory changes in the early 1980s were new rules for the Copenhagen and Stockholm stock exchanges. Introduction on the stock exchange was made much
