中国战略管理学的近期发展:一种本土视角的回顾与前瞻

早先"国际"视角的评估认为中国战略管理学仍处于"前现代"阶段,但从本土视角出发对近10年来中国战略理论发展的一个不完全梳理表明,中国战略管理学者在诸如战略领导、战略创新、制度环境与战略、文化环境与战略等问题上提出不少反映中国情境的战略概念,并在"环境-战略-绩效"的基本范式下开始了具有本土意识的问题研究与理论探索.中国战略管理学正处于转型发展的新阶段.在回顾的基础上,对中国本土战略研究的整体发展道路进行了探讨,特别是从中国作为现代战略知识生产的后来者和知识创新的"缄默知识观"出发,提出中国本土战略研究要走"自觉-能力-问题"三要素融合创新之路,即提高本土化研究的意识与自觉、学习经典理论与方法以提高研究能力,以及深入挖掘本土重要战略问题.以海外华人学者对"制度基础观"战略学说的贡献为例,阐述了这一道路的可行性.最后,对新阶段本土化战略研究的5个基本问题和中国战略管理学发展前景进行了展望.     

管理自主权:融会中国与西方、连接宏观与微观

国际管理学界有关"融会西方与东方、连接宏观与微观"的呼吁,为中国管理学界实现"立足中国实践、创新管理理论"提供了契机。作为"管理的精髓","管理自主权"的概念根植于西方理论,却贯穿于中国国有企业改革的历史进程,且对解决国家进一步发展面临的两个重要问题具有现实意义。本文回顾了管理自主权的相关研究:首先,从经济、管理和心理等不同学科视角,厘清其本质与内涵,归纳其测量方法;随后,考察了多个层次的前因,以及不同内容的效应;之后,我们从公司治理、企业战略与制度建设三大领域,总结了中国情境下的实践启示。最后,从情境、内涵、测量、前因、效应与方法等6个方面,本文指出了既有研究不足与未来研究方向,并构建出"宏观—微观—宏观"的系统分析框架。

“管理学在中国”研究：概念、问题与方向——第1届“管理学在中国”学术研讨会观点评述

随着中国改革开放、经济发展和企业国际竞争力的日益提高,学术界对中国管理和管理学问题的关注越来越多.2008年3月29～30日在西安召开的"管理学在中国"学术研讨会上,与会学者就"管理学在中国"的概念与研究意义、管理学在中国发展的基本脉络、中国文化情景的管理问题及中国管理学派的创建方法等问题进行了深入研讨.为此,在介绍诸多基本观点的同时,对相关问题进行了评述.     

中国管理学反思与发展思路

从某种意义上说,反思是管理理论发展的推动力之一。回顾中国管理学的发展历程,寻找其发展路径与规律,对中国管理学的自主创新有重大意义。为此,对中国管理学50年来的发展历程进行了总结性回顾,并对发展中国管理学的现实问题优先和管理学中国学派建立的相关问题进行了讨论。     

对我国管理研究中情境化理论建构的思考

尝试构建一个分析框架,将国内管理实践、国际管理学知识体、国内管理学知识体之间的信息交换和管理学自身研究过程结合在一起,并据此提出促进情境化理论建构的"适度非平衡"策略,即选择大问题、重视理论验证、强调定性研究、强调服务于实践,主要以贡献中间理论为目标。

中国战略管理学研究的发展述评

中国战略管理学的研究在过去十年发展很快,这与国家自然基金会管理学部的成立分不开的.虽然中国的战略管理学研究在研究问题的侧重点与国际战略管理学研究重点存在明显的不同,比如公司治理结构是中国战略管理研究的重点,而创业和战略联盟则是国际学者研究的热点.但是,对比过去五年的文献我们发现,在研究方法和理论基础上两者的差距比五年前明显缩小.从本"专刊"发表的论文看.研究方法的多样性是一大特点.而从研究问题来看.战略联盟和全球化背景下中国企业的战略管理将是近期战略管理研究的关注的热点.     

Comments on globalization, interdisciplinary research, myopia and parochialism, government, convergence, and culture

Globalization presents social scientists with a wide variety of issues and challenges that cut across disciplinary boundaries. Disciplinary boundaries encourage specialization and advances in understanding aspects of social behavior, but specialization also creates barriers to more comprehensive understanding of social behavior such as globalization. Successful interdisciplinary efforts entail gains from trade across disciplinary specializations. The papers in this volume help outline an agenda for interdisciplinary investigation of globalization to knock down disciplinary boundaries and encourage gains from trade that further our understanding of globalization. But much work remains before we see real fruits from such efforts.     

Premature Deaths,Statistical Lives,and Years of Life Lost: Identification,Quantification, and Valuation of Mortality Risks

Mortality effects of exposure to air pollution and other environmental hazards are often described by the estimated number of “premature” or “attributable” deaths and the economic value of a reduction in exposure as the product of an estimate of “statistical lives saved” and a “value per statistical life.” These terms can be misleading because the number of deaths advanced by exposure cannot be determined from mortality data alone, whether from epidemiology or randomized trials (it is not statistically identified). The fraction of deaths “attributed” to exposure is conventionally derived as the hazard fraction (R – 1)/R, where R is the relative risk of mortality between high and low exposure levels. The fraction of deaths advanced by exposure (the “etiologic” fraction) can be substantially larger or smaller: it can be as large as one and as small as 1/e (≈0.37) times the hazard fraction (if the association is causal and zero otherwise). Recent literature reveals misunderstanding about these concepts. Total life years lost in a population due to exposure can be estimated but cannot be disaggregated by age or cause of death. Economic valuation of a change in exposure-related mortality risk to a population is not affected by inability to know the fraction of deaths that are etiologic. When individuals facing larger or smaller changes in mortality risk cannot be identified, the mean change in population hazard is sufficient for valuation; otherwise, the economic value can depend on the distribution of risk reductions.     

Breast implants, Hippocrates, and burden of proof

The author argues that the burden of proof for the safety and efficacy of some medical devices properly lies with the manufacturers of the devices and with the providers who use them. The controversy over breast implants is used as a case for this shift in the burden of proof of safety and effectiveness.     

Equity, Efficiency, Uncertainty, and the Mitigation of Global Climate Change

Policies to mitigate potential damages from global climate change impose costs on the current generation to provide benefits to future generations. This article examines how comparisons among three stylized policies-business-as-usual, mitigation of climate change, and compensation for climate damages-depend on social preferences with respect to risk and intertemporal equity. Also examined is the opportunity-cost criterion, which asserts that mitigation should not be chosen if its net present value is smaller than that of business-as-usual. Analysis reveals that the discount factor used to evaluate whether mitigation satisfies this criterion depends on preferences regarding risk and intertemporal inequality of consumption, and on the risk of the compensation policy. Risk aversion favors mitigation over business-as-usual. If society is neutral to inequality, risk aversion disfavors compensation, but if society is inequality averse, the effect of risk aversion on preferences between compensation and business-as-usual is ambiguous. Inequality aversion tends to favor business-as-usual over both alternative policies provided that, roughly speaking, the anticipated future improvements in welfare exceed the anticipated climate damages.     

The `Game' of Leadership: Exercise, Games, Sports, and Leadership

The relationship between leadership and sports was analyzed. Peer influence was most important, with that of teachers and parents seeming to have a second-order effect as perceived through peers. Each gender benefitted more in leadership when mentored by their own gender, especially so for women. In work settings, men reported more leadership learning and encouragement than did women. Women experienced more frustration in participating in games and sports in school, the encouragement and continued mentoring being insufficient. Harragan's 1977 thesis that the corporate world and the playing field of sports and high-level policy-making have a male schema was borne out.     

Values,Perceived Risks and Benefits,and Acceptability of Nuclear Energy

We examined how personal values and perceptions of risks and benefits are associated with the acceptability of nuclear energy (NE). A theoretical model is tested in which beliefs about the risks and benefits of NE mediate the relationship between values and acceptability. The results showed that egoistic values are positively related to the perceived benefits and acceptability of NE. In contrast, altruistic and biospheric values were positively related to the perceived risks of NE. Although it has been argued that NE may help to combat climate change through lower CO₂ emissions, these environmental benefits were not acknowledged by people with strong biospheric values. Furthermore, results confirmed that the more risks respondents perceived, the less they were inclined to accept NE. In contrast, the more a person believed that NE has beneficial consequences, the more acceptable NE was. Finally, as expected, perceived risks and benefits were found to partly mediate the relationship between personal values and acceptability. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of these findings.     

Technology,Geography, and Trade

We develop a Ricardian trade model that incorporates realistic geographic features into general equilibrium. It delivers simple structural equations for bilateral trade with parameters relating to absolute advantage, to comparative advantage (promoting trade), and to geographic barriers (resisting it). We estimate the parameters with data on bilateral trade in manufactures, prices, and geography from 19 OECD countries in 1990. We use the model to explore various issues such as the gains from trade, the role of trade in spreading the benefits of new technology, and the effects of tariff reduction.     

Effectiveness, accountability, and efficiency

Management of health care is compromised by its singular reliance on billing information--i.e., a claims trail tells little of what providers think. It relates to neither prevention of disease nor reduction of unnecessary health care costs. Billing information is not the substrate to be used in the pursuit of appropriateness, effectiveness, and value. To improve medical management of health care, a protected, but accessible clinical database is needed.
