The effect of interfirm codevelopment competency on the innovation of the e-service process and product: the perspective of internal/external technology integration mechanisms

Service innovations are central to today's rapidly changing business environment. Because of heterogeneous customer demands, rapid product life cycles, and advances in information technology (IT) for services management, an expanded conceptualisation of e-service innovation is required. This study examines the mediating effects of internal and external technology integration mechanisms among interfirm codevelopment competency and the innovation of the e-service process and product. A field survey was conducted of IT departments in information service firms to test the theoretical model. IT managers were the key informants. Partial least squares (PLS) analyses supported the main premises of the proposed research model. The data suggest that firms in the information service industry emphasise interfirm codevelopment competency in developing e-service innovations but use different sets of technology integration mechanisms to enhance e-service product and process innovation.     

The Influence of Innovative Organizational Culture on Marketing Strategy Formulation and Results

ABSTRACT

This article's objective is to analyze the influence innovative organizational culture has on marketing strategy formulation and results, and how this relationship affects organizational performance. The theoretical basis lies in Menon et al.'s (1999 Menon , A. , Bharadwaj , S. G. , Adidam , P. T. , and Edison , S. W. ( 1999 ). Antecedents and consequences of marketing strategy making: A model and a test . Journal of Marketing , 63 , 18 – 40 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) model. The methodology included a survey with medium to large Brazilian companies in different sectors. The final sample consisted of 153 questionnaires that were valid for analysis. Techniques for statistical analysis including singular and multivariate methods were used, from which the relationships between constructs were established by structural equation modeling. Results show a positive relationship between innovative organizational culture, the marketing strategy process, and organizational performance. However, innovative culture does not have a direct influence on performance.     

基于条件证据更新方法的短时软/硬情报融合

基于恒星测量的船载雷达轴系误差修正参数动态标定

提出了一种动态条件下通过船载经纬仪和雷达标校电视联合测恒星,标定雷达轴系 误差修正参数的数学方法,从理论上推导了相关的模型。在此基础上,通过实测数据进行了 试算分析。分析结果表明：利用动态标定方法给出的船载无线电雷达轴系误差修正参数吸 收了经纬仪光轴和雷达光轴之间的偏差,有效提高了雷达测角精度。     

基于网络层次分析法的区域软实力评价——以江苏省为例

基于国内外软实力研究文献,考虑各指标间的交互影响、指标的数据获取和量化等因素,构建了包括三级指标的区域软实力评价指标体系,并利用网络层次分析法对江苏省的软实力进行评价。研究结果表明:江苏省的综合软实力排名为全国第二,这主要得益于其区域文化、科技创新能力以及和谐度的排名靠前,而扩散度、人口素质、区域环境以及公共服务的得分偏低。据此提出强化江苏省综合软实力的相应措施:应进一步强化各类传媒的扩散作用、完善公共服务体制以及优化投资以及居住环境等。     

商品金融化与产品定价机制变革——从近代欧洲大宗商品交易中心形成过程谈起

近年来,在金融全球化背景下,商品金融化趋势愈加显著。商品金融化并非新生事物,早在近代欧洲,一些大宗商品贸易已开始被赋予金融属性。本文从近代欧洲大宗商品交易中心的形成过程的历史视角研究商品金融化与产品定价机制变革关系,对荷兰的大宗商品交易中心发展过程及商品金融属性的表现特征研究发现,各类金融衍生工具在近代初期已从商品交易中发展起来,并在阿姆斯特丹商品市场上大量应用。由于过分依赖资本收益,国内产业衰落,荷兰商品交易中心地位没能保持下去,在工业革命前半个世纪甚至更早,欧洲商品交易中心从阿姆斯特丹转移至伦敦。从交易中心的形成与转移,可以看到商品金融化进程中基本条件的意义与作用,以及商品金融化问题的本质。这同时揭示出当代商品金融化趋势与产品定价机制变革的关系。     

基于AHP的失地农民保障需求分析

随着失地农民增加,失地农民保障成为日益紧迫的问题。参考前期研究文献,选择养老保障、医疗保障、经济保障、就业保障四个要素作为失地农民保障需求指标,运用德尔菲法并结合层次分析模型,采用定量和定性结合方法对失地农民的保障需求进行分析,发现失地农民最强烈的保障需求是经济保障,各项指标中失地农民更看重的是经济方面的货币补偿、保障金额和经济收入等,提出保障政策要结合马斯洛需求层次理论,设置更合理的保障金额和保障范围,确保失地农民经济来源,保证其可持续发展。     

国外有关顾客参与的研究综述与发展方向

顾客参与已成为近年来国际营销学研究热点之一,西方学者针对顾客参与的研究取得了丰硕成果。通过对顾客参与的概念界定,顾客参与的过程和构成维度,企业管理学和服务营销学角度中有关顾客参与的角色,顾客参与的各种投入和强度等方面的国外顾客参与相关研究成果进行全面梳理,可以发现现有研究对顾客参与概念、顾客参与维度和测量均未形成一致观点,顾客参与的角色不清晰,缺乏系统、动态视角的观点。未来研究中应准确定位顾客参与的概念和维度,探索服务员工对顾客参与的影响、参与结构的效用,重点推进服务供应系统的顾客参与,关注服务供应环境。     

Modelling Performance Improvement and Switching Behaviour in Team Learning

Accounting educators and agencies have sought to incorporate team learning activities into conventional learning methods. The readiness-assurance process (RAP) of team learning, in which students take quizzes first as individuals and second as members of student teams, has been shown to be effective in this regard. We analyse the RAP with a fixed-effects regression model to identify the factors that contribute to performance improvement and we use ordered logit regression to estimate, probabilistically, switching behaviour within student teams. A longitudinal study was conducted over the course of a semester in which 101 undergraduate accounting students, comprising 22 teams, completed six quizzes. Within-team knowledge disparity was shown to be a significant indicator of performance improvement, and individuals appeared more likely to switch their answers after the first quiz. There were no significant effects for either performance or switching associated with demographic measures of sex and English fluency. Implications for accounting educators are discussed.     

Choice of Market Entry Mode in Emerging Markets

Summary

This study explores the antecedents of market entry strategy in emerging markets and examines the market environmental, transaction-specific, competitive strategic factors and organizational capability that influence the choice of market entry mode. Empirical results based on a survey of Japanese companies support the combined relevance of their factors on choice of market entry mode in an emerging market. Although most of the mode of entry research assumes that the firm has the option to choose any entry mode in a given market, this study examines the impact of the factors in the internationalization process of firms. The results suggest that experiential knowledge has an immense impact on the choice of entry mode in China, an emerging market with high environmental uncertainty, but also high market potential. The empirical findings also show the important influences of risk-absorption capability and risk-dispersion mechanism on the choice of entry mode into the Chinese market.
