Identity work in female‐led creative businesses

This study explores the identity work carried out by three female owner‐managers in creative industry businesses, identified in Government reports as a discriminatory industrial sector for women in the UK. Through the development of narratives by the owners and other participants, observation of practice and review of online and offline materials, three cases emerged. These showed overlapping, different identities developed and performed through identity work. Each presented rational and logical persona as business leaders despite observation showing extensive use of intuition and gut feeling in both creative and entrepreneurial aspects of the business. Intuition and gut feeling were seen as inappropriate at work as they belonged to the home sphere, emotionally based and therefore automatically unreliable. While occupying male stereotypes and avoiding the female realm of emotion at work, these women expressed femininity through their emphasis on the maternal, ‘being a good mother' as a desired ideal being embedded in work as well as home practice.     

合作社带动农村产业融合的政策、动力与实现机制

推进农村产业融合是发展现代农业的必由之路,而探讨以合作社为载体的农村内生性产业融合模式,对于提升农业产出效率、繁荣农村经济和促进乡村振兴具有重要意义和价值。通过对改革开放以来合作社带动产业融合相关政策的梳理发现,合作社依次经历了初期起步及产业破壁阶段、快速发展与农业产业化阶段、发展壮大与带动农村一二三产业融合阶段。在具体实践中,农业多功能开发、小农户与现代农业衔接、经济良性循环、跨界经营等需求都对合作社带动农村产业融合提供了现实动力,合作社也展现出了资源整合、社会服务和公信力增强等优势,并探索形成了农业内部技术融合、纵向一体化经营融合、现代农业与旅游业融合、农业生态旅游和文化创意产业融合模式。针对目前合作社所面临的规模小、资金少、创意不足等问题,建议从鼓励合作社向综合和联合方向发展、改善合作社融资渠道、挖掘当地特色文化等方面着手构建合作社带动农村产业融合的实现机制。     

政府R&D补贴、产权性质与实质性创新绩效 ——基于中国高技术产业的经验数据

以我国高技术产业为样本,采用面板门槛效应模型,实证检验了政府R&D补贴、产权性质与企业实质性创新绩效之间的关系。结果表明,高强度补贴会显著降低政府R&D补贴的正向作用;民营经济比重的上升则有助于政府R&D补贴作用的充分发挥。进一步研究发现,2000—2018年,仅2005、2011和2013等三个年份的补贴强度过高,2007年以后,民营经济的发展均处于合理区间。分区域来看,补贴强度过高的省份多达12个,且大多数位于中部和西部地区;民营经济比重过低的省份有7个,且大多数位于西部地区;补贴强度和民营经济均处于合理区间的有北京、天津、河北等14个省份,而两者均处于不合理区间的有山西、江西、湖北等5个省份。因此,合理设置补贴额度、充分发挥民营经济优势,是真正发挥政府R&D补贴作用、实现高技术产业创新发展的关键所在。     

战略性新兴产业创新能力影响因素研究综述

从战略性新兴产业的特征入手, 对战略性新兴产业创新能力影响因素的相关文献进行综述。战略性新兴产业创新能力的影响因素主要包括知识产权能力、产业集群、金融支持、政府补助、产业政策与技术创新六大方面,现有文献主要围绕这六个方面进行相关研究。现有研究主要采用假设检验、实证分析、构建模型等研究方法与评估体系,而比较研究是战略性新兴产业创新能力研究中的重要内容。学界对战略性新兴产业的研究数量较多,但大多数只是宏观地探讨战略性新兴产业的发展及某些影响因素。由于战略性新兴产业包含不同行业,各个产业的特性存在差异,对于具体某一个战略性新兴产业的发展还需要进行更广泛更深入的研究;同时,技术、政策以及融资环境等某一因素对战略性新兴产业的影响研究慢慢增多,但是对不同因素带来的交叉影响研究还有待深入。

Oiling the wheels? Flexible labour markets and the migration industry

ABSTRACT

The growing commercialisation of migration, often through a multiplicity of labour market intermediaries, is an issue of increasing academic interest. We seek to contribute to an emerging research agenda on the migration industries by exploring how one of the key actors that constitutes it, recruitment agencies, sits at the nexus between flexible labour market structures and migrant labour. Interviews with U.K. labour providers and low-wage employers form the evidence base for an analysis of the strategies developed by recruiters to derive commercial gain from connecting the so-called ‘supply’ and ‘demand’ sides of the flexible international labour market. We seek to contribute to understandings of the analytical categories within migration systems by illustrating how the migration industry interacts with other key stakeholders to structure international migration.     

Catch-up as a Survival Strategy in the Solar Power Industry

We evaluate the strategies of the emerging market firms in the context of nascent industries. We use the Indian solar power industry as the empirical setting, against the backdrop of the evolution of the global industry, While in traditional industries emerging market firms learn from advanced economy multinational enterprises (MNEs) and slowly upgrade their capabilities, in the intensely competitive environment of nascent innovative industries, emerging market firms are exposed to global competition in their home market right from the early years. This shortens their catch-up clock. As a result, their long-term survival depends on their ability to catch-up fast, both in output and innovation capabilities. In the solar power industry, we find that innovations stem, in the main, from advanced economy firms. Further, Chinese firms are beginning to move from cost-based imitation to innovation. In contrast, with a few key exceptions, most firms in the Indian solar industry remain locked within a narrow niche of downstream site-based installation. Their operations are opportunistic, short term, and without specific catch-up goals, a scenario that does not bode well for the industry's future in India.
