nts the kind of results that female working staff can expect and the sort of requests that they can make. Business cases developed by corporates assumes that the only issues related to gender at workplace are associated with not using women’s ability to its fullest in higher roles of management. These business cases is evidently not concerned with looking at the rights of casual workers, separation of work based on gender, handling low pay, part-time employment and work place power differentials (Colling & Dickens 1998). The success of these corporate business case reports is not measured in terms of correction of inequality in pay or segregation of gender but is measured with respect to the rise in the number of female and ethnic minority managers at the workplace (Colling & Dickens 1998). Thus, the issue with corporate business case reports is also that it has restricted the debate on women equality to a very constricted scale of concerns.
企业商业案例的方法显然不允许在工作场所提高女性的幸福感。当涉及到使用企业开发的商业案例来合理化和讨论公司内部的性别平等时,它会阻止女性员工期望的结果和她们可以提出的要求。企业制定的商业案例假设,与工作场所性别相关的唯一问题与没有在更高的管理角色中充分利用女性的能力有关。这些商业案例显然与关注临时工的权利、基于性别的工作分离、处理低工资、兼职和工作场所权力差异无关。这些企业商业案例报告的成功不是以纠正薪酬不平等或性别隔离来衡量的,而是以工作场所女性和少数族裔经理人数的增加来衡量的,企业商业案例报告的问题还在于,它将关于妇女平等的辩论限制在一个非常有限的关注范围内。
In conclusion, the corporate business case on equality is undesirable as it limits, rather than giving enough room for the discussion on issues of social justice within the organizations. With the use of corporate business case, it allows the organizations an opportunity to argue their case based on economic grounds instead of it being justifiable based on concerns related to social justice (Colling & Dickens 1998). If the corporates are allowed to work out their own business case related to gender equality it is more likely to create discrimination at workplace rather than equality, as a number of social practices by which the market forces are analysed, only allow women to continue with unequal privileges within the organization (Colling & Dickens 1998). With the use of government developed business case reports, it would bring out more ways of analysing and reacting to a range of issues. Rather than using tools provided by financiers and economist, it would be more result oriented to use business case provided by the state to prepare, a more moral and inclusive societies.
总之,关于平等的公司商业案例是不可取的,因为它限制了组织内部对社会正义问题的讨论,而没有给予足够的空间。通过使用企业商业案例,它使组织有机会基于经济理由而不是基于与社会正义相关的担忧来论证其案件。如果允许企业制定自己的与性别平等有关的商业案例,那么更有可能在工作场所制造歧视,而不是平等,因为分析市场力量的一些社会实践只会让女性在组织内继续享有不平等的特权。随着政府开发的商业案例报告的使用,它将提供更多分析和应对一系列问题的方法。与其使用金融家和经济学家提供的工具,不如使用国家提供的商业案例来准备一个更道德、更包容的社会。
With access to a legitimate business case discourse of social justice and equality at its disposal, the government would be indeed more capable of displaying some discursive leadership and handle the matters with more capability. They would be able to establish a forum that would lend an ear to a range of ideas and opinions. This would also assist corporates to do more for the cause. Higher management should stop standing by its own business case reports by dropping the notion that they are a neutral method of spreading the idea of racial and gender equality. Business cases of gender equality needs to be developed based on the ideas and opinion of working class women.
