Never before has there been a workplace so diverse in so many ways, particularly in the range of ages that coexist on the job. The result: a generational diversity that can frustrate and challenge the work force as much as it enriches it. A gulf of misunderstanding exists between older, not so old, and younger employees — a gulf that grows more problematic with the passing of time. Managing this mélange of ages, faces, values, and views is an increasingly difficult duty. In Generations at Work, Ron Zemke, Claire Raines, and Bob Filipczak identify the players, problems, and potential solutions with which every manager of a cross-generational work force will need to be familiar as their employee pool matures and new faces join older ones. In their exploration of this topic, the authors provide the following:","PeriodicalId":79725,"journal":{"name":"Sloan management review","volume":"41 1","pages":"98-98"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71081933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Markides","doi":"10.4135/9781452229805.n230","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4135/9781452229805.n230","url":null,"abstract":"Choosing a distinctive strategic position involves making tough choices on three dimensions: who to target as customers, what products to offer, and how to undertake related activities efficiently. The most common source of strategic failure is the inability to make clear, explicit choices on these three dimensions. Unfortunately, not only will aggressive competitors imitate attractive positions, but, perhaps more importantly, new strategic positions will be emerging continually. In industry after industry, once formidable companies with seemingly unassailable strategic positions are humbled by relatively unknown companies that base their attacks on creating and exploiting new strategic positions. Markides describes incursions into established markets by strategic innovators such as Canon and the brokerage firm Edward Jones. The hallmark of their success is strategic innovation ? proactively establishing distinctive strategic positions that are critical to shifting market share or creating new markets. To prepare for the inevitable strategic innovation that will disrupt its market, an organization should: ? Identify turning points before a crisis occurs by regularly monitoring indicators of strategic rather than financial health in the market. ? Prevent cultural and structural inertia by creating a culture that welcomes change and is ready to accept new strategic innovation even if it disrupts the status quo. ? Develop processes that allow experimenting with new ideas to reveal the potential of a new innovation. ? Develop the required competencies and skills. ? Manage a transition to the new strategic position by clearly deciding whether to adopt the new position and by ensuring that old and new coexist harmoniously. Designing a successful strategy is a never-ending, dynamic process of identifying and colonizing a distinctive strategic position; excelling in this position while concurrently searching for, finding, and cultivating another viable strategic position; simultaneously managing both positions; slowly making a transition to the new position as the old one matures and declines; and starting the cycle again.","PeriodicalId":79725,"journal":{"name":"Sloan management review","volume":"40 1","pages":"55-63"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70583201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yaffee","doi":"10.4324/9781315196725-13","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4324/9781315196725-13","url":null,"abstract":"Is it possible to protect the environment and foster economic growth at the same time? Yes, according to these authors, who call for cooperative ecosystem management that goes beyond the win-lose negotiations that plague most environmental debates. They advocate a balanced approach that considers environmental and development interests simultaneously. After an overview of the Endangered Species Act and the controversies surrounding its implementation, Hoffman et al. suggest the economic benefits that can be gained from protecting endangered species. For example, some pharmaceutical companies see nature as one large R&D lab in which millions of years of evolution have developed new products for human use. Some plant materials and plant by-products are stronger and more lightweight than synthetic materials. Food and animal stocks rely on genetic diversity. Wetlands can serve as purification and detoxification systems. And an increasingly urban population is more interested in recreational use of land, rather than logging, mining, and grazing. On the other hand, say the authors, economics should not be the sole criterion for determining the merit of endangered species protection. By moving away from an extractive view of natural resources, we shift toward stewardship; a shift in mind-set is crucial in enhancing economic competitiveness rather than diminishing it. To improve the implementation of the ESA, the authors propose: 1. Promoting economic incentives by reforming tax codes, establishing special trust funds, swapping government land for more valuable private land, and charging land-use fees for hunting, fishing, hiking, and camping. 2. Reducing uncertainty for affected groups by establishing fixed time periods and streamlining ESA procedures. This involves generating more information about species and ecosystems, encouraging collaborative problem solving, and providing adequate resources for implementation. 3. Allocating adequate resources for implementation by ensuring funding for generating information and training personnel. 4. Involving stakeholders in decisions by forming advisory boards of affected, interested groups and ensuring negotiations through federal mandates. 5. Moving toward ecosystem management by making science-based decisions, involving stakeholders, articulating social values, and planning for the long term. A broad look at all aspects of ecosystem management ? economic, environmental, and political ? will foster environmental protection along with economic growth.","PeriodicalId":79725,"journal":{"name":"Sloan management review","volume":"39 1","pages":"59-73"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70636262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
