achieved by improving on the fundamental beliefs and operation methods (styles) of the organisation Explanation: In English organisational management textbooks, sometimes, "structural beliefs" can also be used interchangeably with "fundamental beliefs" or "organisational ideals". When used with "beliefs" or "ideals", it is preferable to say "fundamental ideals or beliefs" or "organisational ideals or beliefs"; less seldom is "structural ideals or beliefs" heard. However, when used with "styles", "organisation styles" or "structural styles" are more often heard, while "fundamental styles" is less often. Well this is my two bob's worth anyway, Denyce. And hello there! How are you? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2007-04-07 02:49:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I also like Tingting's choice of "reform". There is more Oomphs there. "Improve" sounds a wee bit wimpy when applied to the mainland government, I suppose. But in other management theory or organisational management contexts, I suppose "improve" sound less threatening. It is not easy to strive for a balance in political correctness. :) |

Probably, at the very first glance, an English native speaker can tell an article relating to political matters is translated from Chinese. So what? Maybe most native speakers actually can accept such an exotic flavor. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2007-04-07 04:17:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Tingting, I just had a discussion with you and was not intended to offend you. :-) Besides, you've got a point there. |
