Vanguard Management 是1985的名著主角是Motorola公司 當時處於鼎盛 我也在1985-86 加入台灣的Motorola公司.....該公司已瓦解---內壢廠區現在是惡名昭彰的日月光公司所有......Leading Change 一書也影響我很大

我之所以要特別記一下本書是因為有些書緣
1986年我翻譯 Christopher Alexander的《形之合成》Notes on the Synthesis of Form (1964)
1987-88年我在東海建築研究所教的以CHRISTOPHER ALEXANDE的學說為主.
那時候台灣可以買到他在牛津大學出版社OUP的新書 A New Theory of Urban Design, with Neis, Anninou, and King (1987)
2013年聖誕節特價. 我的這本書已為蟲蛀.....
.....
1987年我在東海建築研究所的一位學生現在是東海總務長.
而我的老朋友捐贈母校的"陳之藩書房---"等案子與他有接觸.....

昨晚讀完您的"相反論述"的想法如下
我想這是一種很古老的說法 或許可以說是某種"孤臣孽子"的說法
我門企業管理界以前也有人處理過類似的問題
譬如說
Leading Change (Paperback)
by James O'Toole他處理著名的管理思想學者如 Peter Drucker and W. Edwards Deming 等人的說法類似
Deming 博士所受的委屈可能更大得多
換句話說 相反論述的例子 活生生的 不少
如果您有興趣 我們可以多談或進一步來談
甚至可以在今年十月中我們的紀念演講會來談
The Executive's Compass
Business and the Good Society
James O'Toole
The most difficult issues facing business leaders today are not technical in nature, but are often rooted in differences in social, political, and economic values--questions about which there is no objective truth. In The Executive's Compass, James O'Toole explores the historical and philosophical roots of current values-based conflicts revolving around such issues as the environment, workforce diversity, foreign production, and executive pay. He ranges far and wide in covering a variety of topics: the ideological positions of the friends and foes of business; what is wrong (and right) with our democratic system; and what the role of business is in creating The Good Society. And he presents a practical framework for thinking about these questions: his innovative Executive's Compass--honed at The Aspen Institute's famed Executive Seminar and applied successfully at many FORTUNE 500 firms.For top executives, general managers, and anyone trying to practice values-based leadership, The Executive's Compass offers a practical tool to deal more effectively with the thorny new issues that technical training leaves professionsl ill-prepared to handle.
