王阳明环境育人思想的现实价值

王阳明重视自然环境和社会环境对人的道德教育作用,特别留意用优美的自然环境与和谐的社会环境来感染人,使学生在不知不觉中受教育,这与现代德育环境论中某些理念不谋而合,值得我们借鉴。学习借鉴王阳明环境育人思想,在现时代德育教育中,我们要努力创造良好的物质环境,不断完善各项法律和规章制度,全力优化社会宏观环境,精心构建健康的微观环境,从而切实提高德育教育的渗透性和实效性。

Functional Upgrading and Value Capture of Multinational Subsidiaries

This paper investigates the relationship between the value capture of multinational subsidiaries and functional upgrading, which is defined as a diversification of employment from primary business functions to higher value adding activities such as ICT, R&D, marketing or logistics. By combining survey-based business function indicators with longitudinal accounting data for a representative sample of multinational subsidiaries located in six Central and Eastern European countries (CEECs), we assess the impact of functional upgrading on foreign subsidiaries' value capture. The results provide robust evidence that the breadth as well as the scope of functional upgrading induces an upward shift of subsidiaries' value added. The effect of functional upgrading is stronger in the earlier phases after entry of the foreign investor, while the long-term growth trend remains unaffected.     

Value drivers of social businesses: A business model perspective

Hybrid organizational forms that combine commercial and welfare institutional logics play an increasingly important role in addressing the grand societal challenges we face today. Building on the literatures on hybrid organizations and social business models, we explore the characteristics of social businesses from a business model perspective. This study seeks to better understand the particularities and value drivers of hybrid social purpose in contrast to purely commercial business models. We follow a grounded theory approach and our findings are based on interview data from 17 social business firms. Building on social businesses' identified particularities, we propose four value drivers of social business models: 1) responsible efficiency, 2) impact complementarities, 3) shared values, and 4) integration novelties. We link our findings to the literature, contributing new insights into social businesses models and implications for practitioners.     

High value manufacturing (HVM) in the UK: case studies and focus group insights

This paper studies the internal mechanisms that allow organisations to become high value manufacturing (HVM). Using a qualitative methodology, three UK manufacturing companies formed in-depth case studies with semi-structured interviews, observations and historical data. The HVM value matrix of Martinez and co-workers is used to categorise each organisation’s value proposition. Wider benchmarking of the three organisations was carried out against a focus group with an additional seven manufacturing organisations. Thus, data from 10 manufacturing organisations are included in this research. The cases follow the ‘customer intimacy’ HVM discipline. The business processes supporting these value propositions were identified. Interestingly, each organisation’s desired value proposition differs from their current one. ‘Technological integrators’ predominantly rely on new product development (NPD) and Strategy processes, whereas ‘Socialisors’ rely predominantly on Strategy and Customer Relationship processes. Companies can use the findings to better understand their current HVM value proposition and, where necessary, plan their transition to a future desired HVM value proposition.     

Religion,Religiosity, and the Attitudes Toward Homosexuality—A Multilevel Analysis of 79 Countries

Although attitudes toward homosexuality have become more liberal, particularly in industrialized Western countries, there is still a great deal of variance in terms of worldwide levels of homonegativity. Using data from the two most recent waves of the World Values Survey (1999–2004, 2005–2009), this article seeks to explain this variance by means of a multilevel analysis of 79 countries. We include characteristics on the individual level, as age or gender, as well as aggregate variables linked to specificities of the nation-states. In particular, we focus on the religious denomination of a person and her religiosity to explain her attitude toward homosexuality. We find clear differences in levels of homonegativity among the followers of the individual religions.     

互联网免费服务价值核算研究

近年来,越来越多的企业选择以低廉或免费的价格为居民提供互联网服务,但产出价值和消费行为却无法在GDP核算中体现。服务业产出被低估一直为学术界所讨论,在此背景下,互联网经济下创新的免费商业模式对传统核算理论的挑战成为本文研究切入点。本文在“互联网免费服务与顾客价值”的易货交易框架下对其价值核算展开研究,将互联网免费服务价值核算与数据资产核算联系在一起,使数据成为连接互联网免费服务与国民经济核算中生产、消费、收入核算的桥梁。文章最后通过模拟核算案例表现了互联网免费服务核算对不同账户的影响,建议对住户部门的生产、消费与收入各增加一笔虚拟处理,对企业的生产、收入及资产也各增加一笔虚拟处理,且这6笔虚拟价值相等。     

“和为贵”、“中庸之道”与“武士道”精神——关于日本政治文化的思考

“和为贵”与“中庸之道”,是中国传统文化中的重要思想原则。传入日本后,曾对其社会发展,产生很大积极作用。但同时,当日本对外侵略扩张时,又能与其“军国主义”思想并行不悖。为什么呢？这是与日本本土政治文化,诸如“内外有别”的共同体意识、“武士道”精神,以及“万世一系”的天皇制度等相结合的结果
