专用性投资治理问题是近年来国内外关注的热点问题。本文利用2007—2009年沪深制造业上市公司的经验证据,探讨了专用性投资、治理机制与企业绩效之间关系。研究发现:(1)在专用性投资的治理机制选择上,关系治理机制比正式治理机制更有效率;(2)如果缺乏治理机制保护,专用性投资对企业绩效产生负面影响;(3)环境不确定性加剧了专用性投资被机会主义侵占的风险,技术水平在专用性投资和企业绩效之间起到了正向的调节作用。     

顾客满意度与企业股东价值关系研究

顾客满意对企业绩效的影响作用一直是研究者和管理者关注的焦点.随着市场竞争的加剧,越来越多的国内外企业制订了顾客满意战略以提高企业绩效.如果不能对顾客满意度增加企业绩效的机制进行深刻的把握,企业就难以制定出准确的营销战略导向和营销资源分配方案.本研究采用中国部分制造业上市公司为研究样本,建立顾客满意度与企业股东价值之间的多层线形模型,探讨了顾客满意度对企业股东价值的影响关系,以及在这个过程中行业特征和企业特征所发生的具体作用.研究结果表明顾客满意对企业股东价值的形成具有显著的正向作用,研究还分解出在企业股东价值形成的过程中企业特征和行业特征发挥的作用比例,同时证明了行业特征对顾客满意与股东价值之间关系的调节作用.     

数字化水平对企业可持续绩效的影响研究——创新类型的中介作用和环境竞争性的调节作用

基于可持续发展和技术可供性理论,以2015-2021年中国沪深A股上市的制造业企业为研究样本,采用文本挖掘方法衡量企业数字化水平,实证检验数字化水平对企业可持续绩效的影响,探究技术创新和商业模式创新的中介作用,同时考虑环境竞争性对数字化水平与企业创新(技术创新和商业模式创新)的调节作用。实证结果表明:（1）数字化水平显著促进制造业企业可持续绩效;（2）技术创新和商业模式创新两者都在数字化水平与制造业企业可持续绩效之间发挥了部分中介作用;（3）环境竞争性在数字化水平与技术创新关系中存在显著负向调节作用,而在数字化水平与商业模式创新关系中的调节作用不显著。     

“竞合”如何影响创新绩效：中国制造业企业选择本土竞合与境外竞合的追踪研究

本文区分本土竞合与境外竞合,基于国家统计局2009年10月至2011年8月对全国40个城市制造业企业进行的问卷调查数据,并结合中国工业企业数据库数据和2009年及2018年专利数据构造出的时间断点追踪数据,重点研究了竞合对企业创新绩效提升的影响。实证研究发现:首先,总体来看,中国制造业企业的"竞合"战略有助于其提升创新绩效。具体来说,企业与本土竞争者的合作有助于其提升创新绩效,而与境外竞争者的合作对其创新绩效的提升无显著作用。其次,企业研发强度负向调节竞合战略与企业创新绩效之间的正向关系。研发强度对境外竞合战略与企业创新绩效间关系无显著调节作用,对本土竞合战略与企业创新绩效间关系有显著负向调节作用。再次,市场竞争对企业创新绩效有显著正向影响,但市场竞争程度高时境外竞合战略反而会降低企业创新绩效。最后,企业的境外非竞争性合作会削弱其竞合战略对创新绩效的影响。结合实证研究的基本结论,本文对中国制造业企业如何利用竞合战略促进创新提出了有针对性的政策建议。     

产品扩散策略对企业绩效的影响

从市场需求理论和消费者行为理论出发,引入产品复杂度的调节作用,以中国汽车企业作为研究样本,选取32家中国车企2008～2012年的面板数据,对多次级市场和同一市场两种不同的产品扩散策略与企业绩效关系及产品复杂度在策略-企业绩效关系中的调节作用进行分析.实证结果表明,两种产品扩散策略与绩效之间由负向关系转为正向关系,即两种产品扩散策略与企业绩效呈U型关系;产品复杂度加强了多次级市场产品扩散策略与绩效之间的关系,而弱化了同一市场产品扩散策略与绩效的关系.企业应根据自身的情况,选择合适的扩散方式,合理灵活地利用产品复杂度的调节作用,对企业绩效会起到事半功倍的效果.

Environmental Factors,Managerial Processes,and Information Technology Investment Strategies

Although significant research attention has been directed at understanding the value of information technology (IT) investments for firms, very little attention has been paid to understand the IT investment behavior of firms. This article seeks to fill this void. We introduce the concept of IT investment strategy, defined by dimensions of intensity and proactiveness, to characterize the IT investment behavior of firms. Synthesizing the environmental deterministic and strategic choice perspectives of a firm's strategic decision making, we examine the effects of environmental factors, managerial processes, and the interplay between them on IT investment strategy. Specifically, we examine the impact of environmental factors such as industry clockspeed and information intensity on IT investment strategy. We also incorporate the strategic choice perspective to argue that managerial processes such as frequent chief executive officer—chief information officer communications and collective information systems planning play a critical role in shaping the firm's IT investment strategy. The empirical results show that the environmental variables are related to IT investment strategy. Besides, managerial processes serve as a means to understand the environment and thus moderate the relationships between the environmental variables and the various facets of IT investment strategy. The conceptualization of IT investment strategy and the focus on both environmental determinism and strategic choice should enrich our understanding of firms’ IT investing behavior.     

基于资源观的企业IT能力与企业绩效研究

在企业广泛应用信息技术提高竞争能力之际,信息化如何给企业带来效益一直是国内外研究的热点问题.在回顾相关文献的基础上,利用基于资源观的概念框架分析企业IT资源,建立企业IT能力模型;采用配对样本比较和统计检验方法,对企业IT能力与企业绩效之间的关系进行实证分析.研究结果表明,具有卓越IT能力的企业会表现出更好的绩效,这些企业具有显著较高的营业净利率、总资产收益率、净资产收益率和人均净利润.企业不仅需要进行IT投资,更重要的是把IT投资内化为整个企业的IT能力,只有这样IT才会更好地给企业带来效益,这有助于指导中国企业信息化工程的建设和论证.     

Exploring the Importance of Business Clockspeed as a Moderator for Determinants of Supplier Network Performance*

As the importance of supplier networks becomes increasingly recognized as a vital factor to company performance, researchers and practitioners alike are focusing their attention on this subject. The study's main objective is to test the specific hypotheses that effective use of Information Technology (IT) and the depth of company relationships with suppliers are directly related to Supplier Network (SN) performance, and that industry clockspeed moderates these relationships. A convenience sample of 135 manufacturing organizations was used to empirically test these hypotheses. Our results indicate that clockspeed does moderate the relationship between IT use effectiveness and supplier network performance. The same is true in the case of supplier relations depth, and hence, managers are encouraged to pay attention to the items comprising network performance as a determinant of supplier network performance.     

战略维度间的匹配关系与企业战略定位选择——基于战略群组理论视角

基于战略群组理论视角,分析了企业战略定位中不同战略维度的匹配问题。以境内外交易所上市的中国互联网企业为样本,选取移动互联业务比重和IT投入强度这两个关键战略维度,采用面板数据回归模型检验了研究假设。研究发现,当企业的移动互联业务比重和IT投入强度同时处于较高水平时,这一战略组合能为企业带来高绩效,是一种合理的战略位置;另一合理的战略位置则是较低的移动互联业务比重配以较低的IT投入强度,它也明显好于一者较高、另一者较低的战略组合。以上结果表明,战略定位的关键是实现不同战略维度决策之间的合理匹配,从战略组合的角度理解行业中的战略位置。研究结论不仅有助于理解移动互联市场的竞争战略与绩效,也验证了战略群组理论在战略定位研究中的重要意义,对战略组合的分析不可简化为对各战略维度的单独分析。

A Field Study of RFID Deployment and Return Expectations

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology promises to transform supply chain management. Building on previous research in information systems and supply chain management, this paper proposes a theoretical framework for RFID adoption and benefits, and tests the framework using data on u. s. firms. Our analysis suggests that there is a positive association between information technology (IT) application deployment and RFID adoption. We find that RFID implementation spending and partner mandate are associated with an expectation of early return on RFID investment, and a perceived lack of industry‐wide standards is associated with an expectation of delayed return on RFID investment. These results suggest that firms with broad IT application deployment and a critical mass of RFID implementation spending are more likely to report early returns from RFID deployments. This paper extends previous research to understand the relationship between organization characteristics and adoption and expected benefits of the emerging RFID technology.     

Information Technology and Process Performance: An Empirical Investigation of the Interaction Between IT and Non‐IT Resources*

Drawing on the resource‐based view, we propose a configurational perspective of how information technology (IT) assets and capabilities affect firm performance. Our premise is that IT assets and IT managerial capabilities are components in organizational design, and as such, their impact can only be understood by taking into consideration the interactions between those IT assets and capabilities and other non‐IT components. We develop and test a model that assesses the impact of explicit and tacit IT resources by examining their interactions with two non‐IT resources (open communication and business work practices). Our analysis of data collected from a sample of firms in the third‐party logistics industry supports the proposed configurational perspective, showing that IT resources can either enhance (complement) or suppress (by substituting for) the effects of non‐IT resources on process performance. More specifically, we find evidence of complementarities between shared business–IT knowledge and business work practice and between the scope of IT applications and an open communication culture in affecting the performance of the customer‐service process; but there is evidence of substitutability between shared knowledge and open communications. For decision making, our results reinforce the need to account for all dimensions of possible interaction between IT and non‐IT resources when evaluating IT investments.     

研发投入对企业绩效的影响研究 ——基于企业金融化水平门限回归

本文选取1435家A股上市公司2011—2018年度的面板数据,以企业金融化水平作为门限变量,研究企业研发投入对企业绩效的非线性影响关系。研究结果表明:(1)企业金融化行为给研发投入对企业绩效的促进作用带来严重的时滞效应,研发投入对当年企业绩效不存在促进作用;(2)研发投入对未来一年企业绩效有双门限效应,二者呈倒N型关系,在第二区间内研发投入促进未来一年企业绩效;研发投入对未来二年企业绩效有单门限效应,在第一区间内研发投入促进未来二年企业绩效;(3)在适度的企业金融化水平区间内,研发投入才会促进未来企业绩效。本文指出上市公司金融化水平最优区间占比分布具有区域、行业和企业性质异质性,并进一步基于实证研究结果提出了相应的政策建议,有利于企业合理管理研发投入和防止企业脱实向虚。     

Market Impact on IT Security Spending

Traditionally, IT security investment decisions are made in isolation. However, as firms that compete for customers in an industry are closely interlinked, a macro perspective is needed in analyzing these decisions. We utilize the notions of direct‐ and cross‐risk elasticity to describe the customer response to adverse IT security events in the firm and competitor, respectively, thus allowing us to analyze optimal security investment decisions. Examining both symmetric and asymmetric duopoly cases using a continuous‐time Markov chain (CTMC) model, we demonstrate that optimal IT security spending, expected firm profits and willingness of firms to cooperate on security improvements are highly dependent on the nature of customer response to adverse events. We also examine the investment problem when security attacks on different firms are correlated.     

Can information technology enable profitable diversification? An empirical examination

Investments in information technology (IT) are now a major part of corporate investment, and the management of IT is essential to performance. In general, IT is expected to have performance effects when it is judiciously used to complement existing corporate capabilities. In this research, we examine how IT can complement diversification strategy. Using hypotheses and measures suggested by information processing theory and the theory of corporate strategy, testable hypotheses are derived to examine how IT can complement diversification. Results suggest that spending on computer technology significantly complements a strategy of unrelated diversification. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.
