The Significance of Networks in the Initiation of Small Businesses in Taiwan

This paper investigates theoretically a factor that impacts the institutional and structural environment of initiating small investments in Taiwan, namely personal relationship networks. A potential investor needs market opportunities in order to earn profit, business organization to exploit the opportunity, and capital to initiate the business. In Taiwan's network economy, the solidarity provided by family networks makes small initial business organizations possible. Subcontracting systems, both horizontal and vertical, make the entry-level investment low, and the decentralized production/marketing processes provide numerous market opportunities for small investments. Taiwanese entrepreneurs opt to start their business ventures primarily through the use of network financing, since bank loans fall under the dominion of government policies.     

我国服务业与城市化的相关性研究

运用实证研究方法，比较我国改革开放前后服务业与城市化的相关性，验证了二者之间的关系。指出在改革开放以前，虽然第二产业发展很快，但服务业发展较慢，因而城市化进程也较缓慢；改革开放以后，我国服务业发展速度较快，带动了城市化进程的加速。从第二产业产值和就业比例、服务业产值和就业比例跟城市化的相关性看，服务业就业比例跟城市化率具有高度的相关性，特别到工业化过程的中后期，城市化的推进主要依靠服务业的发展，所以，加快城市化必须依靠发展服务业。     

我国中小企业技术创新的技术选择策略

目前,我国中小企业技术创新的能力不强,基础条件也比较薄弱,研究中小企业技术创新的技术选择策略对中小企业具有一定的参考作用。通过对核心技术创新与非核心技术创新、高新技术创新与中间技术创新、原始技术创新与集成技术创新这3对概念的系统分析,我们认为我国中小企业特别是非科技型中小企业技术创新的主要选择应当是非核心技术创新、中间技术创新和集成技术创新。

论家族企业经营管理模式的选择分析

沿着家族企业发展路径,对家族企业经营管理模式路径选择及因素进行分析,家族企业经营管理模式的选择应是外部条件成熟,内部发展需要的自然过程。其效率选择应与企业的不同发展阶段和市场的不同发育阶段相一致。对以“催熟”方式鼓励家族企业以转换关键的亲缘企业关系,应持谨慎态度。

Managing Work and Family: The Decision to Outsource Child Care in Families Engaged in Family-Owned Businesses

This study investigates the decision to outsource child care among families involved in family-owned businesses. A management framework is used to examine the impact of inputs to the decision (i.e., goals and resources) and level of management activity (i.e., planning and implementing) in these families as predictors of the choice to outsource child care. The data are a sub-sample of the data from a project entitled, Family Businesses: Interaction in Work and Family Spheres (Winter, Fitzgerald, Heck, Haynes, & Danes, 1998) undertaken in 1997. Study findings indicate that household managers who work in the family business are less likely to outsource child care compared to those who work outside the family business. More educated household managers purchased more, and managers in larger families fewer hours of child care. Female household managers purchased significantly fewer hours of child care compared to their male counterparts.
