摘要

「管子」內容不但闡釋了中國傳統政治藝術中的部份理念，對於今日如何建立政府能力也饒具啟式。本研究企圖從組織行為學的觀點，探討「管子」與歷史背景中的思想。並檢討其政策制定與執行之利弊得失，賦予本書在管理領域上以新意義。本文的結論為：(1)合理的區隔道德與管理，才能提升中國式管理的效果與效率；(2)組織必須兼顧其績效與凝聚力，以維持生存與成長；(3)在建立政府能力的過程中，也必須思考如何降低活動之交動成本。

”Kuan-Tzu” not only explained some ideas of the arts in Chinese traditional political affairs, but also proposed a direction about how to build capacity for modern government. This article attempts to explore the philosophies included in ”Kuan-Tzu” and its historical context from organizational behavioral point of views ,discussed the components of policy formulation, and analyzed how Kuan implemented the policy.Three conclusions are proposed. First, morality must be distinguished from management reasonably in order to improve effectiveness and efficiency in Chinese management practices; secondly, an organization should balance its performance and cohesion to keep both survival and growth. Finally, public administrators should consider how to reduce transaction cost in the process of capacity-building for government.
