Business government planning agreements —ideology versus practicality
研究了英国政府设计的规划协议工具对企业规划的影响，通过调查政府、大型企业和工会高层的看法，发现该工具效果不佳，除非各方信任和理解显著改善。
Abstract The involvement of government in the affairs of business has been increasing rapidly over the past two decades in most western economies. This paper examines the impact of a particular instrument designed by government in the U.K. to attempt to be involved with corporate planning at the level of the individual company. The paper reports the views, attitudes, and expectations of government and those of a number of the major companies which were politically and economically selected by government as being suitable candidates for planning agreements. Finally, the attitute of senior trade unionists were sought to complete a tripartite analysis consistent with that of other institutions created for indicative economic planning. The results do not appear favourable to this particular instrument nor would they augur well for others unless the basic climate of trust and understanding between the different parties dramatically improved.
