‘How are contemporary careers constructed?’ The aim of the article is to answer this question by developing a conceptual model of how professional and organizational environments shape careers in today’s knowledge-based economy. Focusing on the interplay of two macro-level forces, professionalization and the diversity of organizations, we develop a typology of four distinct career models and incorporate them into a dynamic evolutionary process of careers. The implications for developing a more integrated and dynamic approach on contemporary careers are discussed.

Additional Constraints

The problem of assigning gates to aircraft that are due to arrive at an airport is one that involves a dynamic task environment. Airport gates can only be assigned if they are currently available, but deciding which gate to assign to which flight also involves satisfying multiple additional constraints. Once a solution has been found, new incoming flights will have approached the airspace of the airport in question, and these will require arrival gates to be assigned to them, so the entire process must be repeated. We have come up with a combined knowledge-based and evolutionary approach for performing the airport gate scheduling task. In this paper we present our model from a theoretical point of view, and then discuss a particular implementation of it for the scheduling of arrival gates in a specific airport and show some experimental results.

Knowledge Based Economy

The appeals to minimize state intervention in the Russian economy are counterproductive. However the excessive involvement of the state is fraught with the threat of building nomenclature capitalism. That is the main idea of the series of articles by prominent representatives of Russian economic thought who formulate their position on key elements of the long-term strategy of Russia’s development. The articles deal with such important issues as Russia’s economic policy, transition to knowledge-based economy, basic directions of monetary and structural policies, strengthening of property rights, development of human potential, foreign economic priorities of our state.

The last three decades have seen a massive expansion of China's visual culture industries, from architecture and graphic design to fine art and fashion. New ideologies of creativity and creative practices have reshaped the training of a new generation of art school graduates. This is the first book to explore how Chinese art students develop, embody, and promote their own personalities and styles as they move from art school entrance test preparation, to art school, to work in the country's burgeoning culture industries. The book shows the connections between this creative explosion and the Chinese government's explicit goal of cultivating creative human capital in a new “market socialist” economy where value is produced through innovation. Drawing on years of fieldwork in China's leading art academies and art test prep schools, the book combines ethnography and oral history with analyses of contemporary avant-garde and official art, popular media, and propaganda. Examining the rise of a Chinese artistic vanguard and creative knowledge-based economy, the book sheds light on an important facet of today's China.
