The effect of alliance experience and intellectual capital on the value creation of international strategic alliances

This paper investigates the effects of intellectual capital (IC), alliance experience and their interaction on the value creation of international strategic alliances (ISAs). Based on a sample of ISAs formed by US firms, we find that firms with a higher level of IC receive greater announcement-period wealth gains. In addition, the empirical results suggest experience positively enhances the wealth effect of ISAs. Finally, we find a significant positive interaction effect between experience and IC on the wealth creation of ISAs. The results demonstrate the importance of considering the joint effects of IC and experience in assessing the value creation of ISAs.     

Firm-level correlates of emergent green supply chain management practices in the Chinese context

Greening the supply chain is increasingly a concern for many business enterprises and a challenge for logistics management in the 21st century. Of particular concern is how to arouse organizational environmental awareness and put environmental activities into practice in the logistics activities of their supply chains. This paper investigates the correlation of two major factors, organizational learning and management support, with the extent of adoption of green supply chain management (GSCM) practices in Chinese manufacturing firms, where their inbound and outbound logistics activities are potential polluters to the environment. Organizational and operational learning was derived from the firm's experience with programs such as total quality management and environmental management systems. Management support included support for GSCM ideas and practices from top and middle-level management and cooperation across organizational functions. We find significant positive relationships between organizational learning mechanisms, organizational support and the adoption of GSCM practices, after controlling for a number of other influences including regulations, marketing, supplier, cost pressures, industry levels of the relevant practice and organizational size. Implications of our findings on logistics management are discussed.     

企业持续改进的组织行动模型实证研究

在复杂多变的全球化环境中,制造类企业面临激烈的竞争,这要求企业实施持续改进的先进管理模式。但企业中的各项改进活动应如何进行、由谁负责,则成为持续改进执行过程中的难点,故提出对持续改进绩效有显著正向影响的不同主体的三类组织改进活动,据此针对组织改进活动和持续改进绩效之间的关系建立了模型,并利用Continuous Innovation Network(CINet)等数据库的数据进行了结构方程模型的实证。结果表明,其拟合优度指数满足要求,模型比较理想。组织在持续改进过程中可将模型中的三类活动作为重点,逐步开展持续改进的各项活动,提高组织绩效,进而全面实现持续改进。

The Contribution of Job and Partner Satisfaction to the Homeostatic Defense of Subjective Wellbeing

Two studies investigate subjective wellbeing (SWB) homeostasis. The first investigates the contribution of job satisfaction (JS) and partner satisfaction (PS) to the homeostatic defense of SWB. The extant model of homeostasis does not include either variable. The second study investigates the relationship between Homeostatically Protected Mood (HPMood) and other factors involved in the homeostatic model. It has been proposed that HPMood is the basic, biologically determined, positive mood that saturates SWB and other related variables, and forms the basis of the SWB set-point. Thus, if HPMood is an individual difference and it perfuses other homeostatic variables, then HPMood should be responsible for much of the shared variance between such variables. Two comparative samples are involved. One is a group of 171 Hong Kong Chinese recruited through convenience sampling. The other is a group of 343 Australians recruited via a general population survey. Results indicate that both JS and PS predict significant variance in Global Life Satisfaction beyond the existing factors in the homeostatic model. It is also found that, after controlling for the effect of HPMood, the strength of correlations between SWB and other homeostatic variables is significantly diminished. The implications of these findings are discussed.     

马王堆帛书《易传》的政治思想——以《缪和》《昭力》二篇之义为中心

帛书《易传》的政治思想,以"君道"为核心,发挥孔子解《易》的思想,强调变化转化的历史观,提倡忧患意识,注重反骄守谦之道;同时主张以德治国,正确处理君臣关系,重视以赏赐劝励臣下。其中包含了比较全面的君道思想,也反映了战国中后期儒家在诸侯国政治实践的主张。     

和谐语境下农村小产权房规制问题研究 —以民生利益为探究视角

在农村小产权房热销的同时,建设部作出了关于购买新建商品房的风险提示,国务院常务会议上也明确叫停小产权房的销售,农村小产权房争议再度升温,对于农村小产权房的合法化问题说法不一.文章基于风险与利益的博弈对农村小产权房的内质予以厘定,从利益驱动角度探究农村小产权房的成因,并通过农村小产权房的弊病分析得出其存在的风险,进而以民生利益为探究视角对农村小产权房的合法化进行检讨,最终在和谐语境下,从防治结合的探索进路提出分类规制的解决思路.     

Strategic Sourcing in the Presence of Uncertain Supply and Retail Competition

This study develops an analytical model to evaluate competing retail firms' sourcing strategies in the presence of supply uncertainty. We consider a common supplier that sells its uncertain supply to two downstream retail firms engaging in price competition in a horizontally differentiated product market. The focal firm has a dual‐sourcing option, while the rival firm can only source from the common supplier. We assess the system‐wide effects of supply uncertainty on the focal firm's incentive to pursue the dual‐sourcing strategy. We find that the focal firm's dual‐sourcing strategy can create a win–win situation that leads to increased retail prices and expected profits for both firms. Furthermore, under certain conditions, we show that it is beneficial for the focal firm to strategically source from the common supplier, even if its alternative supplier offers a lower wholesale price. Overall, we identify two types of incentives for adopting the dual‐sourcing strategy: the incentive of mitigating supply risk through supplier diversification and the incentive of strategic sourcing for more effective retail competition.     

我国出生人口素质偏低对发展的影响及其对策建议

中国是世界第一人口大国,也是出生缺陷高发国家。在庞大的人口数量压力还未减轻的同时,又面临着出生人口素质偏低的客观现实,严重制约了我国整体人口素质的提高。本文分析了我国出生人口素质偏低的原因,重点探讨了出生人口素质偏低对社会经济、家庭和个体发展的影响,在其基础上提出了有针对性的对策措施。     

辩证法研究的两种出发点

康德和黑格尔各自代表着辩证法研究中两种有着重大区别的出发点。康德把理论理性层面的辩证法称为幻象逻辑并对此进行了深入的批判,提示了辩证法超越理论哲学视野并走向实践哲学的理路。黑格尔没有认真对待、理解与吸收上述康德哲学中深具启发性的思想内涵,以一种纯粹思辨的、理论哲学的眼光,使辩证法重新回到了康德试图避免和禁止的思辨理性的立场上。马克思辩证法是实践理性层面上的、实践哲学视野中的辩证法。以往我们强调马克思辩证法与黑格尔思辨辩证法的学理渊源,更多地在理论理性的层面上阐释马克思哲学的辩证法,使马克思哲学辩证法所独具的实践理性意蕴被深深掩蔽起来。今天重新思考康德对辩证法作为幻象逻辑的批判,并从他所提示的实践哲学的出发点来深入理解马克思哲学的辩证法,具有十分重要的意义。
