Untangling the commonalities and differences between domestic cross-regional experience and international experience in shaping speed of internationalization

Prior studies have paid attention to the influence of domestic experience on internationalization, for which domestic experience primarily refers to the accumulation of internationalization knowledge from industrial peers or partners at home. We argue that the commonalities and differences between international experience and domestic cross-regional experience have not been fully incorporated in previous frameworks in the literature. Thus, in untangling the commonalities, we purposively differentiate domestic experience into two dimensions, i.e., repetition-based experience and diversity-based experience, to investigate the contingent role of making domestic cross-regional investments in shaping the relationship between international experience and the speed of internationalization. We expect that these two dimensions of domestic experience will moderate the relationship between international experience and the speed of internationalization in a different way. More specifically, repetition-based experience has a negative moderating effect while diversity-based experience has a positive moderating effect. Further, considering the differences between international investments and domestic investments, we expect that the joint impacts of international experience and domestic cross-regional experience on internationalization speed are contingent on whether firms have sufficient resources to support multiple learning or whether institutions between the home country and foreign country is similar enough for cross-context application. We expect that financial slack and institutional distance between prior foreign entries' country and the home country play significant three-way moderating roles in setting boundaries for the relationship between domestic experience and international experience. Based on the analysis of 302 Chinese publicly listed firms from 2001 to 2014, the dynamic panel data regression results support our hypotheses. Overall, our simultaneous consideration of commonalities and differences between domestic investments and international investments sheds light on how MNCs learn from both international and domestic investments to speed up their foreign expansions.

The Impact of Imperfect Processes on Production Run Times

This paper investigates the interaction between the economics of production and imperfections in the production process. Specifically, this paper is the first to devise a model in an attempt to provide managers with guidelines to choose the appropriate production run times to buffer against both the production of defective items and stoppages occurring due to machine breakdowns. In addition to providing several structural properties of the model, we show that a manager will always incur a cost penalty when (s)he uses the results of two oft‐cited models‐the EMQ (Economic Order/Manufacturing Quantity) and the NR‐E (No‐Resumption, Exponential machine breakdown)‐to determine production run times.     

女性就业对平等地位获得的影响

平等就业是和谐社会的重要标志,是“男女平权”之基石。妇女就业是社会发展的需要,也是妇女自身解放的一个必要条件。妇女就业权是妇女获得并享有财产权利的重要途径和保障,也是实现男女平等、提高妇女地位的先决条件。然而,随着我国经济体制的急剧转轨和社会结构的转型,妇女所面临的就业环境和实际就业状况正在发生深刻的变化,就业过程中歧视妇女的现象日趋严重,许多妇女成了就业中的弱势困难群体,她们在家庭和社会中的地位受到严峻挑战。     

中国古代哲学视野中的语言学思考

哲学是以语言作为思考的对象,哲学的关注必然涉及到语言学一般原理的思考。中国古代哲学家从哲学视角对语言学的基本原理进行了初步探讨,其中包括语言与思维的关系、语言符号的约定俗成等等,为普通语言学系统的建构提供了最早的理论源头,在现代语言学理论发展史上占有十分重要的地位。     

GDP数据修正对经济周期测定的影响

 本文在收集和建立季度GDP实时数据的基础上,利用区制转移模型对我国经济周期测定展开了实时数据分析,并深入讨论了GDP数据修正对经济周期阶段性的影响。研究结果表明GDP数据修正引致我国经济周期阶段性发生了深刻的变化,使我国经济周期在2005Q2至2006Q4间从低速增长改变为高速增长。而且,我们发现GDP数据修正对经济周期平均增长率的影响方向,与其是否影响经济周期阶段性具有相反关系,即当GDP数据修正不影响 (影响) 经济周期阶段性时,它对高、低平均增长率都具有同向 (反向) 影响。
