"绝不用海归派，因为里面有间谍。"格力电器董事长董明珠近日的言论，一如既往的犀利，却违背了基 本常识。于内，董明珠和格力有选材标准的自由；于外，作为公众身份的企业家，个人偏见引发了价值 观误导。 本土精英和海归人才，从来不是敌我关系，间谍个案更不等同于群体标签。以情绪表达驱导价值判断， 如果"海归里面有间谍"粗暴地成为依据，那做出的往往是错误选择。 "让世界爱上中国造"是格力新的愿景，而董明珠的"海归论"伤害的恐怕不只是留学人才回流的感情。 除了认知局限，从企业管理逻辑看，"一刀切"背后往往隐藏着制度性短板。"间谍"可能有，但企业的安 全防护难题，不能用群体标签来解决。在主流的市场和法律框架下，企业完全可以通过背景审查、保密 协议、技术防火墙等机制平衡安全与开放，而非对某个群体因噎废食。 历史和当下都告诉我们，改革的成功，开放的裨益，得益于全球化人才交流与流通的成功。新时代人才 强国战略，是"聚天下英才而用之"的战略，从国家到地方，从学校到企业，筑巢引凤是主流共识。 某种程度上，以风险之名隔离海归群体，就是人才招聘领域又一个版本的地域歧视、年龄歧视、性别歧 视…… 董明珠观点的偏执有环境因素的干扰。尤其是全球 ...
