好像又找到一篇 JJ里12、公司缩小规模的原因 对应的是 GWD7里的一篇，但是第一个JJ和第二个JJ讲的好像不是不一样的文章，个人猜测可能一个topic的变体Firmstraditionally claim that they downsize (i.e., make permanent personnel cuts)for economic reasons, laying off supposedly unnecessary staff in an attempt tobecome more efficient and competitive. Organization theory would explain this reasoning as an example of the“economic rationality” that it assumes underlies all organizationalactivities. There is evidence that firmsbelieve they are behaving rationally whenever they downsize; yet recentresearch has shown that the actual economic effects of downsizing are often negativefor firms. Thus, organization theorycannot adequately explain downsizing; non-economic factors must also beconsidered. One such factor is the evolution of downsizing into a powerfulbusiness myth: managers simply believethat downsizing is efficacious. Moreover, downsizing nowadays is greeted favorably by the businesspress; the press often refers to soaring stock prices of downsizing firms (eventhough research shows that stocks usually rise only briefly after downsizingand then suffer a prolonged decline). Once viewed as a sign of desperation,downsizing is now viewed as a signal that firms are serious about competing inthe global marketplace; such signals are received positively by key actors—financial analysts, consultants, shareholders—who supply firms with vitalorganizing resources. Thus, even ifdownsizers do not become economically more efficient, downsizing’s mythicproperties give them added prestige in the business community, enhancing their survivalprospects.
