哲理故事西方管理学中有一条著名的苛希纳定律:如果实际管理人员比最佳人数多两倍,工作时间就要多两倍,工作成本就要多4倍;如果实际管理人员比最佳人员多3倍,工作时间就要多3倍,工作成本就要多6倍。苛希纳定律告诉我们:超过最佳配置的后果是人浮于事,人浮于事的结果是要付出成倍的管理成本。巴利与拉塔内实验验证了这一条定律。 Philosophical Stories There is a well-known Harshner’s law in Western management science: twice as many working hours and as much as four times as much work costs are required if the number of actual managers is twice as large as the best, and if the actual manager is better than the best More than three times as many people, three times more working time, and six times more working costs. Harshner’s law tells us that the consequences of exceeding the optimal configuration are unmanageable, and that the result of double counting is the double management cost. Experiments with Barry and Latta validated this law.
