????新的工業(yè)崗位會(huì)是什么樣子？

????我們現(xiàn)在談的經(jīng)濟(jì)變革將把更多信息與決策權(quán)下放給一線工作人員，進(jìn)而提高每一位一線工作人員所創(chuàng)造的價(jià)值。

????但我們已經(jīng)看到，這種隱含在生產(chǎn)資料中的轉(zhuǎn)變每次都能得以實(shí)現(xiàn)。比如，如果我們不必?fù)?dān)心高企的油價(jià)，因?yàn)槲覀兛梢愿行У乩觅Y源，公司可以在高生產(chǎn)率勞動(dòng)力上投入更多。但這需要對工人進(jìn)行一定的培訓(xùn)，讓他們承擔(dān)新的職責(zé)。

????大公司往往不會(huì)主動(dòng)迎接激進(jìn)的改革。如何才能讓他們引領(lǐng)資源革命？需要一場危機(jī)才行嗎？

????2007年和2008年能源價(jià)格暴漲，給我們敲響了警鐘。最近，食品價(jià)格和金屬價(jià)格也在不斷上漲。現(xiàn)在，各家公司已經(jīng)認(rèn)識(shí)到資源在自己業(yè)務(wù)中的作用所帶來的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。中國就是一個(gè)例子。他們一方面要實(shí)現(xiàn)經(jīng)濟(jì)增長目標(biāo)，一方面又在努力降低在環(huán)境風(fēng)險(xiǎn)和資源價(jià)格暴漲方面的脆弱性。

????你認(rèn)為我們能夠做到嗎？

????這場革命的挑戰(zhàn)在于，從根本上轉(zhuǎn)變管理者的職責(zé)。我樂觀地認(rèn)為我們能夠做到。這是企業(yè)家和環(huán)保主義者因?yàn)楣餐睦娴谝淮芜_(dá)成一致：面臨爆炸性增長的需求，如何用更少的資源做更多的事。（財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)）

????What will these new industrial jobs look like?

????The kind of economic changes we are talking about tend to push more information and decision authority out to the frontline work force, increasing the value that each frontline employee can deliver.

????What we have seen every time, though, is that this shift in the means of production works out. If we don't have to worry about, say, high oil prices because we're using our resources more efficiently, companies can and do spend more on highly productive labor. It's going, however, to take some training for workers to take on these new roles.

????Big corporations aren't known for embracing radical change. What's it going to take to make them lead a resource revolution? A crisis?

????We had a wake-up call in 2007 and 2008 when energy prices spiked. More recently food prices and metals prices are running up. Corporations now see more risk in terms of how resources play a role in their business. Look at China. They're working like crazy to reduce their vulnerability to environmental exposure and resource price-spikes, while meeting their economic growth targets.

????Do you think we'll make it?

????The challenge of this revolution is that it makes managers' roles change in fundamental ways. I'm optimistic that we can adapt. For the first time entrepreneurs and environmentalists are aligned by common interests: how to do more with less in the face of exploding demand.
