How can David orchestrate resources to enhance firm performance? A dynamic approach to coping with resource constraints

Given that the possession of abundant resources does not always guarantee superior firm performance, this study proposes a dynamic approach to enhancing firm value. Building on the resource orchestration thesis, we investigate how firms facing resource constraints enhance their capabilities over time by orchestrating resources and how this resource orchestration can play a role in improving firm performance. Using the dynamic perspective, this study identifies four resource orchestration modes, which are specified based on how a given firm dynamically allocates its resources to technology (enacted by R&D activities) and marketing (enacted by advertising activities). Accordingly, we claim that firms with resource constraints can enhance their performance by escalating or altering their resources over time. To test our hypotheses, we used a sample of 4078 small and medium-sized enterprises in manufacturing industries between 1984 and 2018. We found that focus escalation for technology positively affects firm performance, captured by Tobin's q, and that focus alternation toward either technology or market is positively related to firm performance. Finally, we discuss the theoretical and practical implications of our findings.     

基于成本核算的政府绩效评价指标体系构建与应用

政府绩效评价是政府评价主体运用一定的评价方法对政府绩效进行考核评价的过程。由于我国政府绩效评价起步较晚,部分地方还存在重投入轻管理、重支出轻绩效的问题,绩效考核结果的导向作用不强,成本核算成为提升政府绩效的核心。因此,文章在成本核算的基础上对政府绩效进行评价,采用层次分析法从经济发展、社会管理、教育科技、资源环境、成本管理、公共服务六大方面构建基于成本核算的政府绩效评价指标体系,将其应用于H市政府的绩效评价工作,从而有效地提高政府的公信力和执行力,同时也有助于推进我国政府绩效评价工作的发展。     

以任务为中心：县域编制资源的整体性调配机制研究

在机构编制资源总量控制的前提下,如何通过内部调配,盘活编制资源存量,提升编制资源使用效益,实现编制资源统筹调配和动态调整,是当前机构编制管理改革的重要方向。调研发现,浙江S县创新推出一条“摸清底数-绩效评估-统筹优化”的系统性编制管理改革路径,有效破解编制管理部门多样化、管理流程割裂化、编制利益私有化等多重困境,并通过编制管理的部门协同、流程闭环以及统筹优化实现编制资源的整体性调配。相较于传统以职责划分为基础的科层体制造成的政府碎片化,这种整体性调配以问题为导向,以治理任务为中心重新构建治理场景,能够在场景内部系统实现协调、整合与责任等整体性治理要求,是破解政府碎片化的有效探索。     

合作共赢发展与个体工作绩效:知识隐藏与证明目标导向的作用

如何抑制个体知识隐藏行为,推动企业发展与个体职业合作共赢有利于组织创新,基于资源保存和目标导向理论,以知识隐藏为中介变量,以证明目标导向为调节变量,构建合作共赢发展对个体工作绩效影响的有调节中介作用模型; 通过281份有效问卷的数据收集、因子分析以及分层回归等,研究中国情境下合作共赢发展通过知识隐藏对个体工作绩效的作用机理,考察证明目标导向的边界作用。研究认为,合作共赢发展对个体工作绩效有显著正向影响,知识隐藏在合作共赢发展与个体工作绩效之间有显著中介作用,证明目标导向调节合作共赢发展和知识隐藏对个体工作绩效的直接作用,证明目标导向调节合作共赢发展通过知识隐藏对个体工作绩效的间接作用; 因此,企业应重视创建上下联通、利益相关的员工职业发展体系,鼓励员工的知识共享行为,营造能够激发员工证明目标导向的组织环境。     

The impact of supply chain management practices on competitive advantage and organizational performance

Effective supply chain management (SCM) has become a potentially valuable way of securing competitive advantage and improving organizational performance since competition is no longer between organizations, but among supply chains. This research conceptualizes and develops five dimensions of SCM practice (strategic supplier partnership, customer relationship, level of information sharing, quality of information sharing, and postponement) and tests the relationships between SCM practices, competitive advantage, and organizational performance. Data for the study were collected from 196 organizations and the relationships proposed in the framework were tested using structural equation modeling. The results indicate that higher levels of SCM practice can lead to enhanced competitive advantage and improved organizational performance. Also, competitive advantage can have a direct, positive impact on organizational performance.     

供应链绩效评价指标体系与评价方法研究

供应链管理(SCM)与现行企业模式有较大区别,其绩效评价指标体系的建立与评价方法也就有其特殊性,目前这方面的研究还略显不足。本文在综合分析现有的SCM评价指标体系的基础上,初步建立了一套适合我国SCM绩效评价的指标体系。同时,给出了SCM绩效评价的多级动态模糊综合评价方法。     

差异性、相似性和受教育背景对高层管理团队影响的国外研究综述

高层管理团队成员组成的差异性、相似性及其成员的受教育背景以不同的方式影响着它的绩效。国外关于这些特征对高层管理团队绩效的影响已经作了大量的研究,而国内目前尚没有相关研究。本文综述国外关于高层管理团队成员组成的差异性、相似性及其成员的受教育背景对其绩效的影响的相关研究和结论。     

Pipage Rounding: A New Method of Constructing Algorithms with Proven Performance Guarantee

The paper presents a general method of designing constant-factor approximation algorithms for some discrete optimization problems with assignment-type constraints. The core of the method is a simple deterministic procedure of rounding of linear relaxations (referred to as pipage rounding). With the help of the method we design approximation algorithms with better performance guarantees for some well-known problems including MAXIMUM COVERAGE, MAX CUT with given sizes of parts and some of their generalizations.     

基于获取决策优先权的零售商战略联盟效益分析

对于由一个供应商和多个零售商组成的单一产品、单周期供应链,在确定型市场、零售商成本对称以及供应商具有关于零售商成本结构完全信息的情况下,考虑了同时带来运作成本与决策权分配变化(基于获取决策优先权)的零售商定货数量决策联盟。利用博弈论方法,研究了获取决策优先权的零售商战略联盟对参与联盟的零售商、未参与联盟的零售商、供应商以及供应链整体收益的影响。证明这种零售商战略联盟不可能使供应链中所有成员都同时增加收益。但在一定的条件下,联盟能实现某种部分"多赢";使供应链整体、供应商和参与联盟的零售商收益增加,或使供应商和参与联盟的零售商收益增加。     

跨国公司经营业绩评价方法的研究
