N-dimensional space of regulation

The regulation today is a phenomenon which unfolds in n-dimensional space:

¨ timing, orientation to short-term or long-term results and consequences;

¨ linear progressing or cycle development;

¨ textual or contextual normative system, reflecting legal or background direction of regulation;

¨ mythological or rational tools and performances;

¨ culture as a particular space of meanings, representations and values, determining the goals and the interests;

¨ “glocalisation” as the global thinking and local acting, the choice of the best solution at global level and the anticipating consequences to the local community;

¨ dilemma and combining innovative and creative content of labour, the change with normative behaviour according the safety policy, the corporative and the technological process constraints, and the requirements for stability from the side of employees as well as shareholders.

The cultural framework and the myth or ratio’ mechanisms can be understood as borders for thinking of a manager. The global and local managerial choice is made in the scale of financial and political factors. The innovative creative behaviour can be included in (and not be opposite to) the normative pattern and deep stable culture, if one may so express it, the stable regular changing.

So, the n-dimensional space can be represented in 3-axes:

 
 

 

 


Fig. 9. Scheme of the regulation n-dimensional space.

These dimensions are forming complex space of managerial action, which must take into account the following principles:

Þ the cyclic principle of development, to assure

- personal motivating and interesting,

- local impact of decisions made, e.g., environmental issues, influence to the life in inhabitants, children and adults education,

- the requirements of stakeholders for acceptable socio-cultural and economic effects of decisions;

Þ the linear financial calculating to meet:

- the requirements of shareholders for increase of dividends and of exchange value of enterprise,

- the necessity to support and to improve the reputation of the enterprise;

Þ sophisticated system of written rules and instructions, including:

- the framework for action, the normative ways to act and the essential behaviour patterns for a number of standard situation (including the potential crisis or catastrophe situation, which can be anticipated),

- the mechanism of control of their respect,

- the complex model of sanctioning for respect or infringement of these rules, including the bonuses and fines, the grid of requirements for promotion, etc.;

Þ rich socio-cultural background determining:

- ideology of enterprise as common business for all participants, investors and employees, corporative mission and philosophy of personal identity and performance at work,

- the individual and group behaviour in exceptional cases, which is directed to the realisation of group values and to societal commonwealth or survive,



- the large and clear idea of positive sanctions for the correct behaviour (the community help for the family of a hero, the posthumous award, etc.);

Þ short-term immediate results of decision, which are made

- to solve concrete tasks or requestsof direct participants of enterprise functioning process, e.g., shareholders or trade-unions;

Þ long-term consequences, which should be anticipated at all levels of management or public administration, and which should:

- help to improve the quality of life, including the humanitarian values, e.g., health care or corporative family support (children gardens, etc.),

- avoid the drain of financial or human capital.

The postmodern reality is infinitely diverse, so this enumeration above is not exhaustive, and the real public administration or private corporate governance should be ready to new different matching with new interests or new actors, who have new tools of pressure.

But the essential legal principle is enunciated by the chairman of Russian Constitutional Court[51] – it is the principle of inalienability of future generations’ rights.

The principle of inalienability of future generations’ rights

Defined in 1987 in Brundtland Report, from the UN World Commission on Environment and Development, the concept of sustainable development is based on the necessity to “meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”[52]. This idea of sustainability is expressed in economic terms of the modern legal-economic discourse : “We have not inherited the earth from our parents, but borrowed it from our children”[53].

It is an example of the use of modern legal legitimacy and financial logic to embody the postmodern value scale. The problem, which is usually mentioned in criticism of policies of responsibility or sustainability, is related to the optionality of these guidelines or strategies.

The future generations’ rights should be not only described in the goodwill of intergovernmental communication, but inserted into texts of the compulsory rules for administrations in public and private sector.

Ecological issues are now represented in quite rigorous laws, but the sustainability concerns not only the nature protection, but all the resources, including the crucial resource in creative economy – human.
