Lessons from a project to create performance measures for public health

This paper uses a specific example to illustrate complications that arise in formulating and implementing performance measures. The context of this demonstration is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)-funded project to explore the feasibility of performance measures developed at the national level for local sexually transmitted disease (STD) prevention and control programs. Grantees provided local data and reported on their experience in eliciting the data and using the results for program development. The experience of this project suggests that measures can be made operationally feasible and programmatically useful only if terminologies are subjected to extensive definition and clarification activities. These activities must include development of common language, mapping of workflows, and clarification of spheres of influence. Finally, performance measures must be used with some caution, as they often unintentionally capture extraneous program elements.     

拒绝职场边缘化:模型与检验

初入职场,大学生员工希望被组织接纳而不是被边缘化。本文试图建模表现在如同"政治舞台"的职场中员工努力避免被边缘化的过程。为达到以上研究目标,执行了两项研究:预研究在国务院11个部委机关的公务员群体中收集数据,开发了职场边缘化的测量工具;主研究对16家制造型企业中的343个员工、662个同事及343个直接领导的配对数据进行实证分析,发现员工工作绩效、公民行为以及与上司的私人关系(Guanxi)与职场边缘化之间呈负向关联。相对而言,在政治氛围淡漠的企业中,上司关系与职场边缘化之间的负向关联更强。     

高校学生党建工作绩效评价指标体系研究

目前,高校在学生党建过程中普遍存在重视过程管理、忽视结果管理和评价管理,这在一定程度上影响了高校学生党建工作的成效。本文结合高校党建实际,探索构建一套具有科学性和可操作性的绩效评价指标体系,来加强高校学生党建工作绩效管理。

资源禀赋与我国旅游业经济绩效影响研究

结合我国旅游业发展现状,本文通过对不同要素禀赋的比较,重点关注了资源禀赋对旅游业经济绩效水平影响相对重要性的变化。主要结论表明,在我国旅游业的进一步发展中,旅游资源禀赋的影响在逐渐降低;虽然其仍表现出对以规模所体现的经济绩效水平提升有显著促进作用,但对利润率所体现的经济绩效水平提升作用则不是很突出。比较还发现,不同要素禀赋对旅游产业经济绩效的影响,已经呈现出从初级要素到高级要素,重要性依次上升的特点。     

Pricing decisions in a multi-criteria setting for product recovery facilities

Unpredictability in the arrival time and quantity of discarded products at product recovery facilities (PRFs) and varying demand for recovered components contribute to the volatility in their inventory levels. Achieving profit under such capricious inventory levels and stringent environmental legislations remains a challenge to many PRFs. This paper presents a multi-criteria decision model to determine a pricing policy that can simultaneously address two issues: stabilize inventory fluctuations and boost profits. The model considers that PRFs passively accepts discarded products as well as acquires them proactively if necessary. Under a multi-criteria setting, the current work determines prices of reusable and recyclable components to maximize revenue and minimize product recovery costs. A genetic algorithm is employed to solve the multi-criteria decision making problem. Sensitivity analysis is performed to investigate the effect of sorting yield, disassembly yield, and reusable component yield on the profits, prices, inventory levels, and disposal quantities.     

高新技术上市公司R&D投入与绩效的实证研究——来自2007—2009年上市公司的经验证据

本文以2007—2009年连续披露研发投入的高新技术上市公司为研究对象,对高新技术上市公司R&D经费投入强度、R&D人员投入强度与公司绩效的相关性进行了实证检验。结果表明,当前我国高新技术上市公司R&D经费投入强度明显不足;随着R&D投入的增强,其与公司绩效的相关关系越明显;R&D投入强度与公司的盈利能力、发展能力和股东获利能力部分指标具有较强的相关性,且具有一定的滞后性,滞后期较短;R&D投入强度与公司的技术竞争力没有显著的正相关关系。     

Staging language: An introduction to the sociolinguistics of performance

Staged performance involves the overt, scheduled identification and elevation of one or more people to perform, with a clearly demarcated distinction between them and the audience. It involves the agentive use of language, building on the foundation of existing social meanings. Staged performances tend to be linguistically stylized, pushing the limits of language creativity. They have the potential to trigger significant sociolinguistic effects, circulating novel forms and contributing to language change. The paradigms used in this theme issue for approaching language performance include Bakhtin's notion of Stylization, Bell's Audience and Referee Design, Silverstein's Indexicality, Agha's Enregisterment, and Bauman's construct of Discursive Culture. Themes that run through the articles include: a concept of identity that is part product, part process; the centrality of the audience; the reflexivity of staged performance; and the importance of non‐linguistic modalities such as music and appearance. The language analysis in this collection of papers concentrates mainly on phonological features of varieties of English, finding instances of selectivity, mis‐realization, overshoot and undershoot in their performances of a range of targeted dialects.     

创业企业绩效评估方法初探

创业企业绩效不仅是创业者考虑的首要问题,也是投资者关注的关键问题。现有的创业企业绩效研究和方法众多,没有取得统一,指标体系的构建也没有达成共识。对创业企业绩效的评价未能兼顾长远,也没有全面反映企业的生存和成长。因此应建立一套创业企业绩效的综合指标体系,既反映企业的现实状况,更反映企业的潜在增长,兼顾静态和动态评价,多层次、多角度、全方位地反映创业企业绩效。
