Technology Transforms Politics: Internet + Government Services and the Transformation of the Grassroots Power Structure*

Since the rise of the Internet in China, China’s local governments have actively used Internet technology to facilitate public administration and public services. What impact, then, have different types of social media had on local governance? This paper, based on years of investigation of J Town and L Sub-district in Shanghai (2012-2018), finds that Internet technology has profoundly transformed the grassroots power structure. Before the rise of the Internet, the grassroots power structure included local government, activists and the masses; in the age of Weibo and home owners forums, grassroots opinion leaders rose, becoming an impressive social force that local government could not afford to ignore; in the age of WeChat, however, the influence of grassroots opinion leaders declined, as local government can interact directly with the masses through WeChat public accounts and WeChat group chats, with the network technology becoming a tool for micromanagement. These three stages correspond to three types of government characterized by limited mobilization, consultation, and user-friendliness, respectively.     

顾客采用网络银行的影响因素研究

网络银行已经成为银行业保留老顾客和获取新顾客的一种新兴的服务渠道,而有关顾客采用网络银行影响因素的研究也越来越激发兴趣,引起关注。感知风险和信任是网络银行顾客最为担心的因素,但这似乎并没有引起学者们的足够重视。大多数研究都将顾客方面的建构作为认知建构的前置因素,而将银行方面的建构作为认知建构的前置因素的研究还几乎无人问津。本研究的重要意义在于:在具体的网络银行环境下,以科技接受模型为基础,在认知建构中增加感知风险和信任等变量,同时将顾客方面的自我效能和银行方面的便利条件两个建构分别作为认知构建的前置因素,从而对网络银行的采用意图进行理论探讨和实证检验。     

Assessing Markups,Service Quality,and Product Attributes in Music CDs' Internet Retailing

We investigate trade‐offs among markups, service quality, and product attributes across customer, Internet retailer, and wholesaler echelons. Research has documented the reality of retail price dispersion, but little is known about how retail markups, in particular, are related to service quality and product attributes. For example, do Internet retailers deliver superior service in return for high markups? Do product characteristics affect the relationship between service and markups for retailers? To examine these issues, we first developed a model of Internet retail profitability that separates revenues and costs related to sales from other profit sources. This framework allowed us to position our work alongside the extant literature about Internet retailing. Moreover, it led us to synthesize service quality dimensions found in Internet retailing studies. We subsequently developed a critical‐event study based on the profit model and the synthesis of service quality dimensions to delineate service aspects that retailers should emphasize to address buyers' utility. Finally, we collected data from Internet purchases across retailers to isolate markup‐service quality trade‐offs along our delineated service aspects. We find that high markups are associated with superior performance across service quality dimensions. Furthermore, this trade‐off becomes more acutely defined when products with variable popularity are transacted.     

对法兰克福学派大众文化强迫性理论的再思考

法兰克福学派对大众文化强迫性的批判,主要是基于以广播、电影、电视为代表的传统大众媒介提出的;而随着媒介背景的演变,即因特网这种新型大众媒介的介入,大众文化的强迫性明显减弱。为了对这一发展趋向有所认识,需要在当下语境中重新思考法兰克福学派的相关理论。

网络购物顾客忠诚度影响因素的实证研究

顾客忠诚度是网络商家维护市场地位、保持持续竞争优势的重要因素。然而,网络环境下顾客忠诚度的复杂性和不确定性却成为阻碍电子商务进一步发展的瓶颈。因此,本文通过对以往文献的梳理,构建了以信任、在线网站特性、线下物流服务质量、顾客满意度、转换成本为外因潜在变量,以顾客忠诚度为内因潜在变量的假设模型,并以问卷调研的方式收集实证数据,采用因子分析和结构方程模型揭示网络环境下顾客忠诚度的影响因素和作用机制。研究发现：在网络环境下,信任不仅可以通过影响顾客满意度来间接地影响顾客忠诚度,而且可以成为顾客忠诚度的直接前因变量;在线网站特性和线下物流服务质量共同作用于顾客满意度的提升,并间接地影响顾客忠诚度的积累;顾客满意度和转换成本是网络环境下顾客忠诚度的主要影响因素。研究结论较为全面地反映了网络环境下顾客忠诚度的影响因素和作用机制,对于网络零售商有针对性地实施顾客忠诚计划有着十分重要的参考价值。

中国老年人参与互联网金融影响因素研究——以理财产品为例

互联网金融是老年人减少金融排斥,享受普惠金融的重要途径。但是目前我国老年人对互联网金融的优点认识不足,参与率过低。为探究中国老年人参与互联网金融的影响因素,基于中国家庭金融调查2017年数据,从个人禀赋、家庭支持和区域发展三个角度构建了多维解释模型,使用分层Logit模型进行验证。研究结果显示:第一,受教育程度高和金融素养高的老年人参与互联网金融可能性更大;第二,家庭总收入越高、与子女同住和与孙辈同住均可提高老年人参与互联网金融的比例;第三,信息社会化指数越高省份的老年人越容易参与互联网金融。第四,随着年龄的增大,老年人个人禀赋的影响减小,而家庭支持和区域发展的影响始终显著。根据上述研究结果,本文提出了有针对性的建议。     

Internet Pornography Use,Body Ideals,and Sexual Self-Esteem in Norwegian Gay and Bisexual Men

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between perception of own appearance, Internet pornography consumption, preferences for pornographic actors’ appearance, and sexual self-esteem in gay and bisexual men in Norway. An online survey of 477 gay and bisexual men showed that, despite the prevailing muscular and lean gay body ideal, many men with less ideal bodies also preferred to watch pornographic actors with body types similar to their own. Self-perceived attractiveness, having an ideal body type, and viewing Internet pornography in longer sessions each made a unique contribution to higher self-esteem as a sexual partner. Preferring to watch pornographic actors with ideal bodies was not related to sexual self-esteem. The findings underscore the importance for gay or bisexual men of both self-perceived attractiveness and being athletic or young and fit, for a positive self-evaluation of sexual performance and competence.
