Policy innovation and policy realisation: the example of children future education and development accounts in Taiwan

ABSTRACT

The Children Future Education and the Development Accounts (CFEDAs) are the first anti-poverty policy in Taiwan developed to provide incentives for the poor to accumulate assets for their future. Using CFEDAs as an example, this article analyses the process of developing and implementing an asset-based policy. It begins with an introduction to the policy structure. It then reviews the history of how the innovative idea of building assets for the poor became a policy proposal before presenting the convergence of three policy streams driving the prioritisation of CFEDAs in Taiwan’s policy agenda. It concludes with challenges facing the policy implementation.

Leveraging the common and outsourcing the distinct: institutional difference and multinational company identity in emerging economies

ABSTRACT

This paper explores the challenges of outsidership faced by multinational companies (MNCs) accessing emerging economies. The paper departs from popular conceptualisations of culture drawing instead on social identity theory as part of an institutions-based view, to explain how employing a singularities approach can allow the identification of commonalities of Indianness and Australianness that can be leveraged to ameliorate negative socially embedded business norms that pose a challenge to MNC success in emerging economies. This study shows that despite recognised formal (regulatory) and informal (cultural) differences, managers of Australian MNCs operating in India were able to innovatively identify and exploit cultural commonalties/singularities to ease cultural adjustment and mitigate intergroup conflict, allowing them to achieve an innovative institutional fit. The paper discusses how, using this approach, sole-venture MNCs can access many of the benefits provided by collaborative entry modes while preserving MNC identity. We further propose that the singularities approach can provide a valuable starting point to develop culturally appropriate competence training initiatives.

分享经济: 研究评述与未来展望

目的/意义 互联网的迅速发展使分享经济成为一种新型商业模式,分享经济增长的潜力在于参与者的增长。拥有物质资源的消费者作为提供者参与分享经济,对经营分享经济的企业发展,提高资源利用率、减少浪费及环境可持续发展等有重要意义。 设计/方法 基于社会交换理论,构建了消费者物质主义对提供资源参与分享经济的关系假设模型,并通过问卷收集数据,运用结构方程对模型及假设进行分析与检验。 结论/发现 （1）经济价值、社会价值及情感价值在消费者物质主义与参与分享经济的关系具有中介作用。（2）不同的物质主义对参与分享经济意愿的作用机制存在差异：工具性物质主义通过经济价值、社会价值及情感价值的完全中介作用,对参与分享意愿产生显著的正向影响;而终极性物质主义对分享意愿有显著的负向直接效应,但通过经济、社会及情感价值的遮掩效应,对参与分享经济意愿产生正向的增强作用。     

大学领导力提升: 推进大学治理能力现代化的实践路径

基于现代组织理论提出了一个实施工程领导力教育的核心要素关系框架,用以探究不同类型的工程领导力教育何以实现培养工程领导力这一共同目的。通过理论分析提取了组织主体、组织目标和组织环境三种要素,并结合实践案例将其分别映射至教育对象、教育模式、教育目标、教育内容和教育环境的设计中,以揭示其在工程领导力教育中应用成功的条件机制。提出,应开展基于团队的学习,通过分配领导主、客体角色使学生构成组织并体验领导过程;以模块化教学促进学习主题的聚焦性,发挥组织目标的引领作用;开展基于真实世界问题的教育,以多学科的工程环境为组织环境,促进学生工程领导力这一复合能力的开发。

     

CEO duality and firm performance: The moderating roles of other executives and blockholding outside directors

This study examines how the effect of CEO duality on firm performance is affected by two internal governance forces – namely other executives in the top management team and blockholding outside directors. Results based on a longitudinal dataset from the U.S. computer industry were consistent with my hypotheses. Specifically, I found that the effect of CEO duality was negative when the CEO had dominant power relative to other executives and when the board had a blockholding outside director, but was nonsignificant otherwise. This study enriches our understanding of the effect of CEO duality, and helps reinforce the call for the nonduality structure as the default choice and put the burden of proof on those who wish to justify otherwise on special grounds.
