Reshaping M&A research: Strategies and tactics for a new research agenda

I apply a cognitive perspective to understand how primary cognitive mechanisms—simplification, elaboration, and interaction—have influenced the way scholars, as individuals and as a community, have queried acquisitions so far. While cognitive mechanisms have played an important role in advancing our grasp of acquisitions, they have also favored the emergence of hidden, taken-for-granted assumptions, eventually resulting in reproducing the same lines of reasoning, applying the same stock of methodological and theoretical approaches, often with a marginal contribution to our understanding of the field. To remedy this state of affairs, I propose a framework that encompasses four strategies and a set of tactics to assist scholars in challenging hidden assumptions, playing with ideas, considering context in acquisitions, and rethinking theoretical frameworks. I contrast established perspectives with novel ones to build a research agenda.     

Does order of entry shape competitive strategies? An analysis of European mobile operators

Research on first mover advantages is interested in the performance effects of the order of entry into new markets. However, with a few exceptions, the competitive strategies used by different cohorts of entrants have not been studied. We advance research on first mover advantages by arguing that pioneers and followers differ in terms of the competitive strategy employed. Additionally, our research proposes that the different competitive strategies used evolve over time. To test our hypotheses, we use data from the European mobile industry. Our findings show that pioneers benefit from a hybrid strategy in the initial stages of the market development. However, over time, the relative position of first movers in terms of quality, prices and operating costs worsens.

The Use of Defence Mechanisms as Precursors to Coming Out in Post-Apartheid South Africa: A Gay and Lesbian Youth Perspective

ABSTRACT

This article comprises one facet of a larger, three-year phenomenological study (1997–2000) of gay and lesbian youth coming out in post-apartheid South Africa. A nonprobability sample of 18 young people, aged between 16 and 21 years, was interviewed. The resultant data was content analyzed, and the trustworthiness of the information was ensured via member checking and utilizing an independent coder. Results consistently revealed that gay and lesbian youth use defense mechanisms, such as denial, avoidance, compartmentalization, suppression, compensation, sublimation, undoing, displacement, rationalization, and intellectualization, in a conscious manner during their coming out process. The young people in this study demonstrated resilience despite the prejudice and inner turmoil that they had experienced. Practice guidelines are suggested in terms of how health and social care practitioners can support gay and lesbian youth in coping with their coming out process.     

将计算机软件引入机械原理教学的探索与研究

为了使学生更好地掌握机械原理课程,提高教学效果,教师在教学过程中穿插各类计算机软件的介绍,使学生在学习专业课程的同时,也了解这些软件的使用,为日后学习这些软件奠定一定的基础。文章分析了平面绘图软件Autocad、计算分析软件Matlab、动力学仿真软件Adams、计算机编程软件Delphi和三维绘图软件Catia在机械原理教学中的应用。     

高校教学质量工程：困境与变革

高等学校实施本科教学质量工程具有促进教学基础建设,调动广大教师的教学积极性,落实教学工作中心地位,提高高等学校教育教学质量的重要意义。但是,教学质量工程建设的实然价值取向与应然价值取向存在偏差,质量工程项目建设的过程管理缺失以及建设成效的评价机制不健全造成了高等学校本科教学质量工程的建设效果不尽如人意。因此,要建立服务教学的评价机制、加强项目建设的过程管理并建立项目成果应用推广机制,以提高高等学校本科教学质量工程的建设水平。     

全球治理视角下亚欧金融合作机制构建

亚欧合作反映了亚欧政治上彼此借重、经济上互有所需的战略需要,其重要性不容低估。尤其在后危机时代的金融领域,亚欧双方都有合作的强烈愿望与需求,但合作无论从深度、广度都缺乏实质性的进展。亚欧金融合作同时也是全球治理理论的一个重要实践进展。在建立多边的全球金融秩序和金融市场监管架构重组中发挥更大作用是亚欧共同利益所在,亚欧金融实践趋同提供了合作的现实基础,制度化的治理机制使合作从务虚走向务实。有效的亚欧金融合作机制总体框架可以描述为:以风险防范与金融监管能力建设为先导,以亚欧共同基金为平台,深化货币合作和区域一体化经验分享机制,融合亚欧构建多边国际金融体系架构的共同努力。     

长株潭经济一体化立法模式的选择

长株潭一体化不仅是经济的一体化,同时也应该是经济秩序法治化同步过程.从立法模式来看,现行的横向协议合作立法模式依赖于长株潭三地政府之间的通力合作而缺乏实质性的约束机制,而流行的"行政一体化立法模式论"又过于激进,较为理性的选择是既不改变长株潭三地的基本行政区划,同时加强长株潭区域经济立法中责任制度建设.当然,在加强长株潭区域经济责任立法时要注意处理好长株潭"两型办"的权限与职能定位等一系列问题.     

适应我国城市民族关系和谐发展态势的利益协调机制研究

民族利益是多民族国家政治生活中不可忽视的利益关系之一。随着城市化进程的加快,不仅不同民族成员的居住场域发生了变化,而且其生活方式和族际互动方式也在发生变化。城市化进程中城市民族关系的和谐发展,必然涉及到民族利益关系的有效协调,而要有效协调城市民族利益关系,就必须构建长效的民族利益关系协调机制。
