《本期內容》
導讀
如果只向內專注於自身業務，而無視政治環境，那結果將是災難性的。Arie de Geus在1997年出版的《活著的公司》一書中描述了一個特別動蕩的時代，荷蘭皇家殼牌公司重新塑造了公司的目標和方法，以適應外部世界的需求。

雙語閱讀
「Arie liked to say, 『people change and when they do, they change the society in which they live』.」 That went for companies as much as for societies. Long-lived groups such as Stora owed their survival to their adaptability as human communities and their tolerance for ideas, as much as to their financialprudence.

"阿里喜歡說，'人是會變的，當他們變了，就會改變他們所處的社會'。" 公司如此，社會也是如此。像斯道拉這樣的存續期很長的群體之所以能夠生存下來，是因為他們作為人類社會的適應度和對思想的寬容度，以及他們的財務審慎。

斯道拉恩索的執行長在她上個月的最新情況介紹中，聽起來和她那些資歷較淺的公司的同行們一樣，忙於臨時裁員、旅行禁令和削減資本支出等緊迫問題。
Some groups that meet de Geus’s common attributes for longevity are still likely to go under, simply because they find themselvesexposed tothe wrong sector at the wrong time. Others, though, will find they are ill-equipped for the aftermath. What he called 「intolerant」 companies, which 「go for maximum results with minimum resources」, can live for a long time in stable conditions.

For decades after the war, big companies did not change the way they operated. Faced with thiscrisis, though, de Geus would have placed his confidence in those companies that had evolved a commitment to organisational learning and shared decision-making, according to another close collaborator, Irène Dupoux-Couturier.

戰後的幾十年裡，大公司並沒有改變他們的經營方式。不過另一位密切合作夥伴艾琳杜波克斯-庫爾耶表示，面對這場危機，德格斯對那些已經致力於組織學習和共享決策的公司仍然充滿信心。
