A process-oriented perspective on differential business value creation by information technology: An empirical investigation

The relationship between information technology investments and firm value as an area of inquiry has sustained interest among IS researchers over the past decade. More recently, some have challenged the notion differential value among firms through Information Technology (IT) as it evolves into a ubiquitous utility-like set of technologies. This study examines the relationship between IT and business value from a process-oriented perspective, and also helps to identify the underlying links between IT and its differential business value to firms. By drawing upon economic and organizational theories, this paper develops a process framework to assess the intermediate organizational process capabilities and overall performance of firms that effectively deploy and use IT. Using data from over 80 firms, the study finds empirical support for the differential business value created by IT along a number of process oriented dimensions. These findings are discussed as these results set an optimistic tone for IT as a major causal driver of differentiation.     

论新城镇化背景下的农村人居环境发展与定位

因我国传统城镇化的盲目发展,农村人居环境＂千村一貌＂现象日益严重,＂美丽风光＂渐行渐远。文章提出坚持生态文明建设理念,推广生态住区,尊重人文地脉,应用乡土化设计;并在城乡规划一体化的大方向下＂求同存异、协调发展、保持特色＂,力求构建和谐＂宜居＂新农村人居环境,实现新城镇化发展战略目标。     

村治主体的“老好人”化：原因分析与后果呈现

后税费时期,在我国相当一部分农业型村庄中,不得罪人、缺乏原则性的“老好人”成为村治的主体。税费改革及其相关配套改革带来的系列后果,如村庄治理权力弱化、村庄集体资源匮乏等,成为理解“老好人”治村得以出现的制度层面原因;另一方面,“老好人”治村现象的出现与村庄社会变迁以及村庄内生型力量彰显有关。“老好人”治村是上述两个层面共同作用的结果。 村治主体的“老好人化”导致村级组织悬浮、基层矛盾凝聚、村庄秩序瓦解等一系列政治社会后果,必须引起高度关注。

国有企业管理体制改革的战略构想——兼论政府经济职能定位

建立适应社会主义市场经济发展需要的国有企业管理体制 ,是实现国有企业改革和发展目标的关键。应将明确和简化产权关系、缩短战线、完善机制等作为今后 10年国有企业改革的战略目标。同时 ,我国政府经济职能应再作相应的调整 ,其原则和方向是 ,国有企业管理权集中在拟设置的国务院国有企业管理局 ,地方政府原则上不再直接管理国有企业 ,地方政府的层级愈低 ,其经济职能应当愈弱 ,社会服务和管理职能应愈强     

《宋代登科总录》与宋代状元研究

《宋代登科总录》收录了大量宋代状元文献,通过统计分析可以确定,除118 位文科状元外,宋代还诞生了72位武科状元、12位贡士及第状元. 宋代文状元有近八成来自于低层官员与平民家庭,与唐代形成极大反差,折射出科举考试对整个社会政治的深刻影响. 宋代武科状元仕途不显,而文科状元中近六成曾在政府机构中担任宰执与侍从官等重要职务,这既是国家“右文”政策导向的结果,也验证了科举取士在人才流动方面的推动作用.     

Extending the Barnard’s test to non-inferiority

In 1945, George Alfred Barnard presented an unconditional exact test to compare two independent proportions. Critical regions for this test, by construction accomplish the very useful property of being Barnard convex sets. Besides, there are empirical findings suggesting that Barnard’s test is the most generally powerful. For Barnard’s test, calculation of critical regions is complicated due that they are constructed in an iterative form until is obtained a test size, as close as possible to the nominal significance level and less than or equal to it. In this article we present an extension to non-inferiority of this very leading test. This extension was contructed for any dissimilarity measure and tables were constructed for the difference between proportions. Also we calculate the critical regions for this extended test for sample sizes less or equal than 30, nominal significance level 0.01, 0.025, 0.05, and 0.10 and for non-inferiority margins 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, and 0.20. Additionally, we computed test sizes for the mentioned configurations. To do this calculations, we have written a program in the R environment.     

东南亚国家对华战略缔造的基本要素分析

在过去的半个多世纪中,中国和东南亚国家进行了频繁的互动,也产生了激烈的碰撞.在国际体系总体环境、中国与东南亚国家均发生了重大变化的背景下,东南亚国家对华战略缔造的基本要素,如战略缔造的主体、议程、目标、手段等也经历了持续的变迁.然而,也必须认识到,在东南亚国家进行对华战略缔造的过程中,尽管这些要素作用方式发生了变化,但是各基本要素的基本特征始终存在.     

民间想象、士族欲望与文人叙事——试析《李娃传》的大团圆结局

<李娃传>的情节从三个层面展开:一、李娃作为承载着民间底层百姓愿望的妓女,得到了一个令人羡慕又嫉妒的结局.二、以男主人公父亲为代表的士族理想得到了满足.三、作为儿子的男主人公的浪漫爱情得到了充分表达.这三种代表着不同价值观和理想的欲求,在文人叙事的巧妙运作下融合到一起,实现了"中国式"的大团圆结局.     

文化广场是城市形象的标志

文化广场是指以较多文化内涵为主要建筑特色的较大型场地，是在城市区域开辟的供市民休闲娱乐的公共空间与文化活动场所。20世纪90年代以来，我国文化广场伴随城市建设逐步发展起来，一批风格各异的大小广场相继建成。
