This widely acclaimed book, first published in 1974, was a classic from its first day in print. Written in a direct, inviting way by Harry Braverman, whose years as an industrial worker gave him rich personal insight into work, Labor and Monopoly Capital overturned the reigning ideologies of academic sociology.This new edition features an introduction by John Bellamy Foster that sets the work in historical and theoretical context, as well as two rare articles by Braverman, «The Degradation of Work in the Twentieth Century» (1975) and «Two Comments» (1976), that add much to our understanding of the book.

Social Capital and Strategy Effectiveness: An Empirical Study of Entrepreneurial Ventures in a Transition Economy
Автор: I. Manev
Год издания:
Although new ventures’ competitive positioning and their founders’ social networks are both recognized as important in the context of transition economies, not much is known about their multiplicative effect on performance. We build on the strategic management literature and social network theory to develop theoretical predictions about the role of competitive strategies and social capital for entrepreneurial performance. These are tested with survey data from Bulgaria. We find that both the venture’s competitive strategic positioning and the founder’s networking positively influence performance. The hypothesized moderating effect of networking for the relationship between differentiation strategy and performance received only tentative support. Contrary to expectations, we find a negative moderating effect of networking for the relationship of cost leadership with performance. These results suggest that the entrepreneur’s network plays a role in shaping how strategies influence performance by possibly upholding differentiation and deemphasizing cost leadership strategy. Implications for managerial practice and public policy are discussed.

Ora et labora
Автор: Геннадий Логинов
Год издания:
«Молись и работай» – таков был девиз монахов Ордена Святого Венедикта Нурсийского и юного послушника Иакова. Но неокрепшее сердце юноши жаждет впечатлений, а мятущийся ум ищет ответы и толкует всё в меру своих возможностей. Иногда жизнь тревожит. Иногда – откровенно пугает. Но прилежный послушник сносит всё, принимая как должное, без ропота и непослушания. Ровно до тех пор, пока в стенах монастыря не появляется загадочный незнакомец Конрад.
