Pragmatic decisions in the evaluation of consumer satisfaction with mental health treatment

This article examines pragmatic choices which must be made in conducting consumer satisfaction assessment of mental health treatment. It is argued that choices involving sample, format, and procedure for examining satisfaction may influence the results of such research, and must be considered when creating or evaluating these efforts.

Evaluating employee assistance programs. A review of methods, outcomes, and future directions

Renewed interest in assisting troubled employees has led to an upsurge in the development of employee assistance programs, coupled with demands for demonstrable effectiveness. This review examines the nature and scope of these programs, their administrative and methodological context, and the types and outcomes of evaluation studies conducted thus far. Proposals for improving future investigations through a number of different approaches and strategies are then made.     

On the limiting properties of social indicators

Characteristics of the population and economic measures that constitute traditional social indicators are compared with more recent “quality of life” measures to demonstrate that social indicators are always value statements at the policy level. The possibility of alternative perspectives is illustrated. It is suggested that an awareness of the assumptions implicit in any given indicator is as important as the data they provide.     

Consumer trust in B2C e-Commerce and the importance of social presence: experiments in e-Products and e-Services

Reducing social uncertainty—understanding, predicting, and controlling the behavior of other people—is a central motivating force of human behavior. When rules and customs are not sufficient, people rely on trust and familiarity as primary mechanisms to reduce social uncertainty. The relative paucity of regulations and customs on the Internet makes consumer familiarity and trust especially important in the case of e-Commerce. Yet the lack of an interpersonal exchange and the one-time nature of the typical business transaction on the Internet make this kind of consumer trust unique, because trust relates to other people and is nourished through interactions with them.This study validates a four-dimensional scale of trust in the context of e-Products and revalidates it in the context of e-Services. The study then shows the influence of social presence on these dimensions of this trust, especially benevolence, and its ultimate contribution to online purchase intentions.     

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。     

土地收益权质押：一个虚幻的担保

为缓解融资困境,各地都在探索农村金融的新模式,吉林省开展的“土地收益权质押”就是其中之一。它是指在不改变现行土地承包经营制度和土地农业用途的前提下,以土地的未来收益作为担保财产,为农户贷款提供担保的模式,该模式有“利于融资”与“避免失地”的双重优势。然而,通过仔细分析可以发现,吉林模式中的“土地收益权质押”名不副实,其实质是土地承包经营权的让与担保,存在诸多的法律弊端。而由于土地与公路等公共基础设施在“自动产生收益”这一属性上存在区别,所以无法通过借鉴“公路收费权质押”的制度经验来构建土地收益权质押。此外,利用土地未来的经营收益质押贷款的思路也不可行,理由是：经营收益由土地价值与劳动价值共同构成,而劳动价值无法登记,从而不具有优先效力;而且这种方式使得清偿能力取决于债务人自身,不符合特别担保之属性。在尚未放活经营权之前,以土地承租权担保贷款的构想较为可行,但须建立配套的登记制度。     

锦州皮影艺术特征及其创新发展研究

作为非物质文化遗产,锦州皮影随着社会发展而不断出现新的变化：皮影道具的制作由牛皮、塑料等材料取代了驴皮,皮影戏表演由多人取代了单人,皮影戏表演内容由“熊出没”“小苹果”等现代题材取代了“仙鹤斗乌龟”等传统节目。分析锦州皮影的创新发展之路,对保护与传承非物质文化遗产、促进民间艺术发展具有重要意义。     

不同主体股权转让问题探讨

在法律实践中,隐名投资作为一种非常规的投资方式,其所引起的纠纷除了涉及隐名股东与名义持股人内部协议履行的问题,亦有隐名股东、名义持股人因公司经营或股权利益分配导致的与公司或第三人之间的纠纷。本文基于最新的《公司法》司法解释三,对隐名股权的转让问题进行分析;同时,股权基于其财产权的属性可作为夫妻之间的共同财产,但法律和司法解释均未对夫妻之间在离婚阶段难以协商一致时如何认定股权归属和收益归属问题进行规定,本文将对若干可能情况下的该问题进行法理上的阐释。     

资本下乡：进入模式选择及其影响因素

进入模式是经济组织配置资源的重要手段。以工商资本对农户经营活动的控制权程度为依据,将工商资本投资农业的进入模式划分为“松散型”、“半紧密型”、“紧密型”三种类型。利用对广东、湖北、江苏以及云南四省151个投资主体的调查数据,采用有序逻辑回归模型分析生产因素、市场因素、制度因素以及生产技术传递能力对工商资本投资农业的进入模式选择的影响。结果表明：耕地资源优势越弱,工商资本投资农业选择紧密型进入模式的可能性越高;市场潜力越大,越倾向于选择紧密型进入模式;非正式制度越不利,选择紧密型进入模式的可能性越低;生产技术的传递能力越弱,越倾向于选择紧密型进入模式。
