No Strings on Me... Yet
I know the New York Times needs to keep its engines churning and that means having to lure people into signing up for "Times Select"- the deluxe version of the website that enables one to enjoy the Op-Ed columns, among other delights. Since I'm not an enormous fan of Op-Ed, I never felt I was missing out.
And now I see that the Times is trying to play me. In recent weeks, the Gray Lady has trotted out Judith Warner, whose attitudes I don't find entirely uninteresting, and forced her to grind over the most annoying Parent Issues.
The three headlines I've seen for her column (Warner has been writing a lot of them recently) have trotted out the oldest of old timey "hot button" issues that get everyone dander rustling. She started out with a piece about Vaccines and Autism, moved on to the topic of Barbie (well, actually, the issue was how girls are growing up too quickly and are prone to destroying their toys, but the headline was about Barbie) and just today the teasing headline that begs the curious and irate to pull out a credit card and just subscribe already to see what kind of attitude is being swung around is: "Women Opting Out of Work"
Why is the Times harping on this? It blathered about how "Ivy League" women are "opting out" back in September, and happily this prompted Slate to run a couple of fascinating pieces (on September 23rd and also on September 20th) about how the bigger issue is sloppy reporting and terrible data gathering.
Since I haven't, and probably won't read the Warner editorials, I don't really know what she has to say on the topic, but I am fascinated that the Times is so reluctant to let this non-issue die. Presumably these articles get emailed around a lot which makes the paper feel popular and happy, but I can't help but think it would be nicer if these articles came out of something like actual news.
No, I'm not signing up for Times Select. I'm irked that the Times has played me even this far. I don't like playing marionette.

Don't miss itFor instance, Leff (1978:663) defines business group as a group of companies that does business in different markets under common administrative or financial control whose members are linked by relations of interpersonal trust on the bases of similar personal ethnic or commercial background a business group. Encarnation (1989:45) refers to Indian business houses, emphasizing multiple forms of ties among group members. Powell and Smith-Doerr (1994:388) state that a business group is a network of firms that regularly collaborate over a long time period. Granovetter (1994:454) argues that business groups refers to an intermediate level of binding, excluding on the one hand a set of firms bound merely by short-term alliances and on the other a set of firms legally consolidated into a single unit. Williamson (1975, 1985) claims that business groups lie between markets and hierarchies. Khanna and Rivkin (1999) suggest that business groups are typically not legal constructs thou
gh some regulatory bodies have attempted to codify a definition.

The keiretsu generally include a bank, a holding or a trading company, and a diverse group of manufacturing firms (Lincoln et al. 1992). In contrast, Korea’s Chaebol are typically controlled by a single family or a small number of families and are uniformly vertically organized (Kim 1991).
