The economics of open source software for a competitive firm

Large quantities of software, ranging from operating systems to web servers to games, are now available as open source software or free software. In many cases, this software is backed by large profit seeking corporations such as IBM. Traditional economic analysis is used to identify the costs and benefits to firms of using open source rather than proprietary solutions, particularly in the case of the firm releasing code to the world when not obliged to do so. Examples of large companies backing open source are examined in light of the profit motive. Additionally, open source is also analyzed as a quasi-public good.     

Does Firm Size Comfound the Relationship Between Corporate Social Performance and Firm Financial Performance?

There has been some theoretical and empirical debate that the positive relationship between corporate social performance (CSP) and firm financial performance (FFP) is spurious and in fact caused by a third factor, namely large firm size. This study examines this question by integrating three meta-analyses of more than two decades of research on (1) CSP and FFP, (2) firm size and CSP, and (3) firm size and FFP into one path-analytic model. The present study does not confirm size as a third factor which would confound the relationship between CSP and FFP. That is, even if firm size is controlled for across studies (comprising, on average, over 15 000 observations), CSP and FFP remain positively correlated, showing a "true-score" corrected path coefficient p of 0.37.     

论产权市场与风险投资退出

本文认为,尽管风险投资的退出方式有多种,但从我国的实际情况来看,利用产权市场出让风险企业的股权,条件成熟、操作快捷、成本较低.此外,通过拓展产权市场功能,还能为今后建立二板市场创造条件.

Cost and Production Duality: The Case of the Regulated Firm

This paper examines a generalization of cost-production duality for regulated firms. It derives an equivalency between the production function and conditional factor demands for the case where the firm's optimization problem is subject to a set of additional (regulatory) constraints. This procedure is extended to an optimization problem within a dynamic framework which leads to the recovery of the firm's technology.     

我国中小企业经营模式及政策扶持

我国产业分工的不断深化使中小企业不再受制于规模经济,除了极少数具有先天垄断特质的行业,绝大多数的产业,都能透过“地区规模经济”和“零部件规模经济”取代企业内部的规模经济,使企业内部的分工外部化,变为社会分工。这种趋势非常有利于中小企业形成集群合作关系。     

个人地位、企业发展、社会责任与制度风险:中国民营企业家政治参与动机的研究

以浙江省民营企业家为例,本文考察了影响民营企业家参政水平的各种动机,从而检验了有关企业家政治参与动机的个人地位论、企业发展论、社会责任论以及制度风险论。Logistic回归结果显示,提高个人社会地位和促进企业发展动机都会显著提高民营企业家的参政水平,履行社会责任动机对提高民营企业家的参政水平起到了负面作用,规避制度风险不是民营企业家参与政治的动机因素。研究发现支持了个人地位论和企业发展论,不支持社会责任论和制度风险论。政策含义强调了解和把握参政动机的多元化特征对于规范民营企业家参政行为的重要性,同时也指出了民营企业家对我国经济和政治领域改革的信心和支持。     

中国大型连锁零售企业成长路径评析

近年来,大型连锁零售企业以其规范运作、品牌经营、经济实惠、方便快捷、轻松随意等优点赢得了广大消费者的认同,并呈现出行业集中度不断提高、业态多样化、跨区域经营、外资和民营企业加快扩张、并购重组不断加剧等特征。文章指出,市场定位模糊、规范化程度低、物流配送体系与信息管理系统不完善、经营管理人才缺乏等是当前制约大型连锁零售企业成长的主要因素。大型零售企业实现成长的根本途径在于构建核心竞争力。为实施核心竞争力战略,大型连锁零售企业应进行科学的企业战略定位,这是其持续快速成长的前提;进行规范化经营,这是大型连锁零售企业持续快速成长的基础;实现信息化及高效物流配送系统,这是大型连锁零售企业持续快速成长的手段;加强人力资源开发与管理,这是大型连锁零售企业持续快速成长的核心。     

产业集群品牌发展模式转换的实证研究

产业集群存在“覆盖”型和“依托”型两种集群品牌发展模式,实践表明,“覆盖”型集群品牌作为产业集群发展初期的粗放型模式选择,已经表现出诸多与集群进一步发展不相适应的问题。本文根据国内外学者的相关研究,提出建设集群品牌的基本假说,据此构建了集群品牌发展模式转换模型,并以浙江大唐袜业集群的品牌发展为实证,运用t检验和二项分布检验对该模型及假说进行了检验。研究结果表明,“覆盖”型集群品牌模式的产业集群是有转变发展模式的愿望的,该模式转换为“依托”型集群品牌发展模式是可行的。     

浙江民营企业跨区域迁移的"根植性"策略

近年来,浙江省民营企业跨区域迁移活动日益活跃,这是民营企业资本逐利本性和自身机制灵活性的现实体现。究其原因,既有受传统文化熏陶所孕育的企业家精神、迁移企业自身生态位跃迁等企业内部因素的影响,也有生产要素禀赋区域差异、迁移企业"晕轮"效应以及产业群外部不经济性等外部因素的作用。企业迁移是在动态环境下的战略决策,不仅要考虑企业自身行为,而且还要考虑植入这些行为之中的社会和文化内涵,这种根植性也是迁移企业构筑核心能力的基石,迁移企业应根植于区域生产网络、创新网络和社会网络以获得战略性资源,实现可持续成长。
