Notes: This paper asks the question, "What is the appropriate management value system for commerce in the increasingly complex global marketplace?" We argue that the current management orthodoxy is deficient in dealing with the challenges brought about by the growing number and increased cultural diversity of economic transactions in this new environment. As the justification for the current system is so frequently based on Adam Smith's writing in An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, we compare the current ideology of organizational life with that proposed in his The Theory of Moral Sentiments. In so doing, we argue that a form of international commerce based on Smith's concept of "sympathy", the innate need for each individual to care for others, is better suited to building the conditions necessary for human flourishing than is the existing value base. We propose an important initial step toward achieving a more sympathetic capitalism, the "No-Harm Proviso", and briefly speculate on its implementation.

Description / Table of Contents: Summary Two techniques for measuring the infrared spectra of adsorbed species on surfaces of different types are described. Diffuse reflectance spectra of species adsorbed on powdered substrates with a high surface area can be measured with an exceptionally high signal-to-noise ratio. The technique is illustrated by the adsorption of carbon monoxide on rhodium supported on alumina at metal loadings between 0.1 and 10%. Some doubt is cast on previous band assignments for adsorbed CO molecules. Grazing incidence reflection-absorption spectrometry can be used to measure the spectra of molecules on flat metallic substrates of very low surface area. Attempts to develop a technique for observing the intermolecular vibration between the adsorbate and the substrate using a unique triple modulation approach are discussed.

Notes: Zusammenfassung Zwei Techniken zur Messung von Infrarot-Spektren von Adsorbaten verschiedener Art werden beschrieben. Diffuse Reflexionsspektren von Adsorbaten an pulverförmigen Substraten mit einer großen Oberfläche können mit einem außerordentlich großen Signal-zu-RauschVerhältnis gemessen werden. Als Beispiel dient die Adsorption von Kohlenstoffmonoxid an Rhodium auf Aluminiumoxid bei Metallgehalten von 0,1 bis 10%. Einige Zweifel an früheren Bandzuweisungen für adsorbierte CO-Moleküle werden geäußert. Reflexions-Absorptions-Spektrometrie mit streifendem Einfall kann zur Messung der Spektren von Molekülen an flachen metallischen Substraten mit sehr geringer Oberfläche benutzt werden. Versuche zur Entwicklung einer Technik für die Beobachtung der intermolekularen Schwingungen zwischen dem Adsorbaten und dem Substrat mittels einer einzigartigen Dreifach-Modulationstechnik werden diskutiert.
