网络外部性与企业产品兼容性决策分析

研究具有网络外部性特征的市场中,当拥有专有技术的主导厂商不能阻挡跟随厂商的市场进入时,主导厂商对其技术的兼容性授权动机.研究结果表明,在消费者对产品未来市场规模的预期为随机变量的假设下,如果网络外部性强度较弱,拥有技术标准的主导厂商将向跟随厂商开放技术标准,采取兼容性策略;相反地,如果网络外部性强度较强,主导厂商将独享技术,采取不兼容性策略.     

Does family matter? Ownership,motives and firms’ environmental strategy

Extant research has primarily focused on the economic drivers and outcomes of corporate environmental performance. This trajectory oversimplifies the motives for environmental strategies across all firm types and particularly overlooks how firm ownership presents other motives for environmental strategies. In this study, we leverage institutional theory to examine how family motives, underpinned by family members' desire to gain or preserve family legitimacy and socio-emotional wealth, affect ISO 14001 certification. Using firm-level data, we find that family ownership has a positive effect on ISO 14001 certification. This effect is stronger for firms whose names include the family name and also for firms located closer to large cities. Our study contributes to nonmarket strategy literature by showing that family motives underpin firms’ environmental initiatives. It also contributes to institutional theory by delineating the levels of legitimacy that spur nonmarket strategy in family firms.     

The complementary effects of rationality and intuition on strategic decision quality

Rationality and intuition are important dimensions of the strategic decision process. Prior studies have viewed these as distinct dimensions, providing limited insights for our understanding of strategic decision processes. Drawing on the dual process theory and research on process capability, this study examines the interplay between rationality and intuition based on a sample of 103 strategic decisions made by service firms in Greece. The results suggest that combining rationality and intuition at the same time leads to successful strategic decisions. Also, the moderating role of environmental dynamism was investigated. We found that in dynamic settings, decision-making teams which combine rationality and intuition outperform teams which use rationality or intuition separately. The implications of these findings for theory and practice are important and are analysed in the paper.     

僵尸企业的生成、危害及处置——文献综述和未来研究方向

僵尸企业是阻碍全球经济健康发展的“隐疾”,也是中国经济高质量发展道路上的“绊脚石”之一。厘清僵尸企业是“怎么来的”和“怎么没的”对于科学且有效地处置僵尸企业、增强市场效率具有理论和政策上的指导意义。在综述现有文献的基础上,梳理了僵尸企业的识别方法及其演进,比较了中、日、欧等国家(地区)僵尸企业的不同特征及成因,分析了政府和银行的不同作用机制,归纳了僵尸企业的主要危害,并从加强市场机制、推进制度建设、营造适当宏观经济环境、充分发挥政府职能等角度总结了预防和处置僵尸企业的方法。最后指出了关于僵尸企业需要进一步着重研究的问题:民营僵尸企业的特征及成因;银行对于僵尸企业生成和处置的作用,特别是政府与银行的互动;僵尸企业通过产业链对上下游企业造成的危害;僵尸企业与宏观经济及政策的互动;清理僵尸企业可能造成的风险;等等。
