中国汽车出口"瓜熟蒂落"

对于国产车的纷纷出口，业内人士觉得是顺理成章的。随着中国汽车市场的急剧升温，中国汽车产品向国际市场进军的时机已经成熟。中国的汽车企业应该抓住时机，在中低档汽车方面打开一个缺口。由于中国汽车工业的历史不长，与发达国家还有很大差距，所以要想在欧美市场站住脚还很难。但是中国的劳动力成本低，原材料价格也有优势，可以造出2—3万元的汽车，这在发达国家是很难实现的。     

汽车"世界大战"中国预演

十年前，当全球汽车业大重组时，中国汽车业还在低谷中徘徊，市场相对封闭，世界汽车业的电闪雷鸣还无法撼动中国汽车市场。时至今日则不然，欧洲的大众、PSA、宝马、奔驰、菲亚特，美国的通用、福特、克莱斯勒，日本的丰田、本田、日产、马自达、铃木，韩国的现代起亚等世界主要的汽车跨国公司，均已通过合资方式进入中国，投资集中在以轿车为代表的乘用车领域。世界汽车业格局的变化已开始在中国留下清晰的痕迹，一个世界“汽车大战”的浓缩版正在中国激情上演。     

法系车何以叫好不叫座?

在中国,法系车是一个尴尬的存在。在富康、东风标致307的辉煌之后,法系车似乎处于一种叫好不叫座的状态。在全球车坛享有盛誉的法系车到底怎么了?很多人把法国车在中国汽车市场的没落归罪于傲慢,当德国、日本、韩国都在为中国市场做出改变的时候,法国人依然我行我素;有的人甚至说他们只为一种人造车,那就是法国人。事实真的是这样吗?     

第17届巴黎国际汽车工业展面面观

中国已成为世界第三大汽车生产国,第二大汽车消费国,第一大汽车潜在市场,中国汽车出口进入快速增长阶段。据法国车辆设备工业联合会会长介绍,随着整车生产商在中国扩大产能,他们希望采购中国当地的零部件。福特等欧美大公司纷纷在中国设立采购中心,国内汽车零部件厂商面临     

汽车异类：冲破宿命论——中国本土汽车开始搅局

从美国通用、德国大众、法国雪铁龙，到日本丰田、本田、日产，跨国公司在中国精心布下一个大局，牢牢控制着中国汽车制造业的发展节奏，在年增长超过50%的中国汽车市场上呼风唤雨。中国本土汽车企业很难追赶上跨国巨头的脚步，中国人自己造汽车的路将越走越窄。然而，吉利、奇瑞和中华三大本土汽车异类不信宿命，奋力搅局。     

走进"本田"的汽车城堡

在上世纪80至90年代,本田车热销中国之际,本田选择与广州汽车工业集团合作, 进入了中国这个全球最具潜力的汽车消费市场。本田在中国建厂,在实现了长期占据中国汽车市场的同时,也避开了中国高昂的汽车进口关税,可谓“一箭双雕”。企业如何觅得并把握住“一箭双雕”的机会呢?这或许就是探讨广州本田成功的意义所在。     

中国汽车后市场:正从"蓝海"变"红海"

2006年迎来了中国汽车市场的又一个“井喷”年。相关数据显示：2006年全年中国汽车产销量分别为727.97万辆和721.60万辆，同比分别增长27.3％-25．1％：截止到2006年底，中国民用汽车保有量已达3500多万辆，中国车市进入了一个前所未有的繁荣境地。稳定的汽车产销增幅和巨大的汽车保有量，不但给汽车厂商带来了丰厚的利润，也刺激了中国汽车后市场服务的快速增长。汽车后市场正成为汽车产业链上一块诱人的蛋糕，国内外汽车服务企业个个磨刀霍霍，准备切入中国汽车后市场领域。     

试驾雪佛兰"新赛欧"

四年前，赛欧因首创“10万元家庭轿车”概念，为中国家轿市场树立了全新标准，而在中国汽车工业发展中占据独有地位。四年来，中国汽车市场高歌猛进，中国家用轿车用户的需求特征也随之发生了太多的变化。上海通用汽车针对中国家用车市场需求特征，在泛亚汽车技术中心有限公司的自主研发下，对赛欧进行了全新打造。     

"鳄鱼"纷争进入总决

“鳄鱼”商标大战又起硝烟。近日，随着法国鳄鱼一纸诉状将中国国家工商总局商标评审委员会（下称商评委）告上北京市第一中级人民法院，法国鳄鱼诉商评委的行政诉讼案中，法国鳄鱼请求撤销商评委的一份商标裁定，该裁定核准新加坡鳄鱼以三色标为背景加文字及鳄鱼图形的商标获准注册。法国鳄鱼与新加坡鳄鱼在中国国内旷日持久的拉锯战被称为已进入总决阶段。     

"十二五"规划催动中国汽车产业五种新趋势

成就辉煌的“十一五”带给中国汽车市场的有惊喜,也有反思,在倡导“以量为王”的日子里,中国汽车市场的“井喷式”增长,既让人看到中国车市的不断兴旺,也让人开始担心未来车企的生存环境,值此”十二五”即将出台之际,中国车市路在何方？让我们一起关注。

Cross‐border Economic Activities,Human Capital and Efficiency: A Stochastic Frontier Analysis for OECD Countries

We study the growth effects of outward‐ori,ented econ,o,mies by using sto,chas,tic fron,tier anal,y,sis to mea,sure the effi,ciency exter,nal,i,ties of three forms of eco,n,omic cross‐bor,der activ,i,ties – inter,na,tional trade, for,eign direct invest,ment (FDI) and migra,tion – for OECD coun,tries. The study also exam,ines whether the effi,ciency of these cross‐bor,der activ,i,ties is affected by the level of human cap,i,tal in the host coun,try. We find that inter,na,tional trade and FDI are impor,tant chan,nels for improv,ing effi,ciency, as is human cap,i,tal accu,mu,la,tion, and that the positive effects of inter,na,tional trade, FDI, and migra,tion depend cru,cially on the level of accu,mu,lated human cap,i,tal. Our results show that the impact of human cap,i,tal is impor,tant for increas,ing effi,ciency via inter,na,tional trade flows and FDI flows, while immi,gra,tion into coun,tries that are richer in human cap,i,tal enhances their effi,ciency rel,a,tively more than immi,gra,tion into coun,tries with lower human cap,i,tal. These results remain robust to alter,nate mea,sures of human cap,i,tal, con,trols on edu,ca,tion lev,els among immi,grants, and to a non‐para,met,ric esti,ma,tion of the model.     

Natural Resources,Wage Growth and Institutions – a Panel Approach

This paper exam,ines the effect of nat,u,ral resource export depen,dence and fis,cal respon,si,bil,ity on wage growth, which is derived from the labour first‐order con,di,tion and esti,mated using a panel growth‐account,ing frame,work. Using annual data, the study accounts for the var,i,abil,ity of resource rev,e,nues, one of the major dif,fi,cul,ties of man,ag,ing these resources. The con,trol vari,ables include the most cru,cial growth fac,tors. Due to insuf,fi,cient annual data, human cap,i,tal is only con,sid,ered inside wages as in many endog,e,nous growth mod,els. We esti,mate the influ,ence on real wage growth aris,ing from the growth‐impacts of nat,u,ral resources through labour and cap,i,tal effi,ciency while con,trol,ling for fis,cal respon,si,bil,ity, which proves a suit,able proxy for pol,i,cies and insti,tu,tions in a sin,gle‐panel case. The results show that respon,si,ble fis,cal pol,icy, assessed by the bud,get bal,ance, pre,vents (var,i,able) dif,fuse and point‐source resources from hin,der,ing real wage growth (through labour effi,ciency), a result also sig,nif,i,cant in a sub‐sam,ple of un‐free coun,tries. The hypoth,e,sis of a resource curse work,ing through insti,tu,tions and reflected on real wage growth holds for resource export shares, but not adjust,ing for re‐expor,ta,tion. Over,all, resource effects are jointly insig,nif,i,cant, even though point‐source resources show a positive impact through cap,i,tal effi,ciency.

Affirmative Action Policy and Changing Views

Critiquing any practice, theory, or law, requires understanding the characteristics of the environment which created a need for this law. There are hundreds of different cultures in the world, and each one has its own set of norms, characteristics, and values. What in one country is perceived normal, ethical or unethical, right or wrong, may not be the same somewhere else in the world. The first civilizations begun in Africa and Europe many thousands of years ago when people were hunters and nomads, it is not unreasonable to suspect that many of those traits and characteristics have been socially transferred and/or inherited by future generations.

Factors Associated with Opinion Seeking

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between opinion seeking and cultural values and individual characteristics in the context of electronic products by surveying cosmopolitan adults of 15 nationalities, namely, American, Australian, British, Dutch, Filipino, German, Hong Konger, Indian, Italian, Japanese, Malaysian, New Zealander, Singaporean, Swedish, and Thai. It finds (i) positive correlation between opinion seeking and power distance, category knowledge, category purchase intention, category innovativeness, opinion giving, market maven, brand loyalty, and susceptibility to interpersonal influence, (ii) negative correlation between opinion seeking and the masculinity and uncertainty avoidance cultural dimensions, category ownership, self-esteem, education, and age, and (iii) no correlation between opinion seeking and individualism, long-term orientation, and risk taking. It then discusses the managerial implications of the findings.     

老字号企业营销的SWOT分析及振兴策略

随着经济全球化进程的加快,老字号企业在变化的市场营销环境中存在产品结构老化,客户资源流失,营销观念落后,品牌传播乏力,销售渠道单一,市场覆盖面狭窄,商标保护不够,假冒产品泛滥等问题。通过SWOT分析可知老字号企业具有独特的品牌文化,独门＂绝活＂和令人信赖的质量和诚信的优势,也存在经营理念老化,劳动密集,产业附加值低,品牌之争不断的劣势,享有很好的机遇,也面临竞争对手的威胁。老字号企业应加快产品创新、增加产品的科技和文化含量,改善产品包装;开展体验式文化消费;基于价值和心理定价;扩大公共关系促销,以不断提高营销水平,再造企业辉煌。     

组织间开簿成本会计的相互信任风险与信任机制研究

组织间开簿成本会计是建立在企业相互信任的基础之上的。从信息经济学角度分析,组织间开簿成本会计存在着"逆向选择"风险和"败德行为"风险两类信任风险。防范组织间开簿成本会计信任风险,要构建信任产生的网络信任度评价机制;专用性投资机制;声誉机制;承诺机制;财产抵押机制。要构建相互信任的强化机制,包括网络激励机制、相互依赖机制、沟通机制、违约赔偿机制、权力均衡机制;要构建信任保障机制,包括合同、契约约束机制、专用投资退出成本约束机制、道德成本约束机制、团队文化机制。从而实现弱化风险,降低信息成本,共享信息资源。
