家族企业网络化成长模式的主要影响因素及机制:基于中国东西部地区的实证研究

本文利用浙江、重庆等东西部省市家族企业的调查数据,实证检验了资源/战略需求、关系治理、权力结构、企业家特质对家族企业网络化成长模式的影响及机制,结果发现,资源需求对二级网络持久度有显著的负向影响,对二级网络开放度有显著的正向影响;合作机会对网络范围、二级网络强度有显著的正向影响;关系管理对一级网络强度、二级网络开放度有显著的正向影响;家族所有权对一级网络范围有显著的正向影响,对二级网络强度有显著的负向影响,家族管理权对一级网络范围有显著的正向影响;企业家年龄对一级网络强度有显著的负向影响,企业家行业工作经验对二级网络范围、网络持久度有显著的正向影响,企业家文化程度为大学本科的家族企业二级网络强度、二级网络开放度明显大于其它类型家族企业。研究结论对中国家族企业成长实践有重要指导意义。     

美国企业竞争力超过日本企业之探究

20世纪90年代国际企业管理界的一个重大事件是美国企业竞争力再次超过日本,成为世界之首。本文列举了美国企业竞争力超过日本企业的表现,并对这一现象进行了由表及里的理论分析,认为美国企业竞争力再度上升的根源在于：硅谷机制催生新兴企业、企业重构使老企业重新焕发活力、采用信息科学技术、制造业重获竞争力、给经营者施予变革动力与压力的治理结构,以及迅速应变的管理模式。     

中国民营上市公司的家族治理与企业价值

本文以最终控制者可以追溯到家族或自然人的民营上市公司为研究对象,将广义家族上市公司区分为真正或狭义家族上市公司(FB)和自然人上市公司(PB)两类,从家族所有、家族控制和家族管理三个维度考察了民营上市公司的家族治理对企业价值的影响。实证结果表明:总体上,家族治理降低了民营上市公司的价值,但家族所有、控制、管理三个维度的影响各不相同,家族治理的绩效最终取决于不同维度之间的组合。鉴于不同类型家族上市公司的主要回归结果皆不相同,本文认为家族企业的不同界定标准会在很大程度上影响到相关实证研究的结论。     

对集体所有乡镇企业从业人员数量统计偏差的研究

乡镇企业统计数据的质量关系到很多国民经济指标的测算 ,因而有着十分重要的意义。将乡镇企业中集体企业从业人员数量的统计数据与第一次全国农业普查结果相比较 ,发现二者有较大的差距。该研究通过定性和定量分析 ,测定了这一统计偏差的幅度 ,并尝试找出集体所有乡镇企业从业人员数量的统计偏差与影响因素之间的关系 ,根据该项研究结果 ,最后提出了一些政策建议     

Scrutinising the interplay between governance and resilience in supply chain management: A systems thinking framework

Supply chain disruptions recurrently challenge end-to-end operations owing to the ambiguous understanding of the role of governance in impacting supply network resilience. This paper scrutinises the relevant literature to understand the plethora of interpretations in supply chain governance and resilience while further providing a new perspective on the representation of the interplay between governance and resilience in supply chains. In this regard, the Systems Thinking lens is adopted to pull together the typologies and constructs of supply chain governance and resilience from the literature. Methodologically, System Dynamics modelling principles are leveraged to capture the underpinning structural interdependencies in a causal loop diagram. The study reveals that endogenous and exogenous supply chain governance processes and mechanisms support the intrinsic and extrinsic resilience in networks. Overall, this research contributes to the supply chain risk management domain by synthesising the interplay between governance and resilience, identifying pertinent typologies, and articulating research propositions that can inform decision-making at policy and management levels.     

Reflections on the roles of governance and leadership in profit-for-purpose companies: A European–United States comparative perspective

The profit-for-purpose movement has gained traction worldwide, with companies designating the second mission dedicated to a social purpose legislatively or by becoming a certified B Corp. This study reflects on the governance structure and associated accountability enacted by legislation in three countries where national legislation exists – the United States, Italy, and France. It also discusses accountability stemming from the B Corp certification. Given the limitations in accountability deriving from a governance structure or the B Lab certification, the paper reflects on the importance of leadership for the successful management of profit-for-purpose ventures and provides exemplars. We conclude by reflecting on the future of profit-for-purpose companies considering the recent environmental, social, and governance (ESG) movement and directions for future research examining key issues for dual-purpose companies.
