Social Capital and the Linkages of High-Tech Companies to the Military Defense System: Is there a Signaling Mechanism?

This study investigates linkages of new Israeli high-tech companies to the military and defense system. We examine the impact of social capital, signaling, and learning spillovers on resource acquisition in terms of investments and the financial performance of companies with and without linkages. Social capital, signaling, and learning spillovers are examined as they impact individual and organizational resource acquisition and performance of 200 new Israeli high-tech companies. The study contributes to the existing literature of entrepreneurship by suggesting the relevance of knowledge spillovers, signaling theory and social capital to the context of the interface between defense and civilian spheres.     

Anticipated foreign military threat, arms accumulation, and the current account in a small open economy

This paper examines the effects of an anticipated foreign military threat on consumption, the home weapons stock, and net foreign asset position in a small open economy. If the utility function is separable between butter and guns, the economy decreases both butter and guns when the news arrives, accumulates foreign assets prior to the foreign threat realization, and increases guns as the foreign threat realizes. If the utility function is nonseparable between butter and guns, the economy may have two dynamic responses. The first is similar to the separable case, except that consumption exhibits a discrete jump when the foreign threat realizes. The second is that the economy increases both butter and guns on impact, decumulates foreign assets prior to the foreign threat implementation, but either increases or decreases guns as the foreign threat realizes.     

The Influence of Role Models on Negotiation Ethics of College Students

Role models can be highly influential in conveying ethical standards. This study investigates the influence various categories of role models have had on a population of over 1,600 undergraduate students in Texas, Oregon and Michigan. Those identifying clergy, boy scout leaders, friends and college advisors as role models exhibited less willingness to adopt questionable ethical behavior in negotation situations. Journalist and spouse role models tended to cause students to be more accepting of questionable behavior. Individuals with strong end-result and social contract ethical philosophies, as well as males and those who served in the military exhibited strong tendencies toward less than ethical behavior. Individuals with strong rule ethical philosophy, high levels of religiousity, and those with a cooperative attitude in negotiations tended to adopt higher ethical standards in negotiations.     

供应链环境下的装备维修器材保障

未来战争敌我双方的对抗在某种程度上将是物资器材保障体系之间的对抗。引入供应链管理思想构建装备维修器材保障供应链是一种适应新“两场”（市场经济、信息化战场）环境要求,提高装备维修器材保障能力和效益的有效途径。     

谈军事物流系统管理中的"效益背反"问题

从系统思想的角度分析了“效益背反”问题在军事物流管理系统中的表现及影响,在讨论了军事物流中的服务水平与成本投入之间的关系的基础上,提出了军事物流系统结构在控制成本投入与服务水平的比例中起到决定作用的观点。     

美军主要军事物流理论综述

本文介绍了当前美军主要军事物流理论内涵和意义,包括指挥物流理论、“模块化”与“多功能”保障结构理论、海上预置储备和“聚焦物流”等。这些理论对21世纪初期世界军事物流发展方向产生了重要的影响,对我军物流理论研究与创新也具有一定的借鉴作用。     

美国武器装备发展的“委员会+工作组”组织模式

通过解读梳理美国国防部最新的2015年版采办指令、采办指南中关于决策的政策和程序,并以美国在研的重大国防采办项目———第三代全球定位系统为实例,重点考虑关于决策体系的三个方面的问题：谁来决策？谁提供意见？谁提供证据？详细考察美国国防采办项目发展过程中的决策指挥链及决策支持体系,总结美国武器装备发展中决策体系的构成及决策特点。研究发现,美国武器装备发展管理采取了“以里程碑决策官为核心的委员会+工作组”决策体系,该体系主要包括四个要点：一是每个型号项目指定一个里程碑决策官作为此项目的唯一的最终决策人;二是在里程碑决策官领导下组成采办指挥链;三是里程碑决策官在重大里程碑决策点通过委员会的方式听取不同意见;四是里程碑决策官采取集成产品组的工作组方式获得决策支持。并提出对我国的武器装备发展决策的一些启示。     

军工研究所薪酬体系优化研究

军工研究所在国家经济和国防建设中占有重要地位,对军工研究所的薪酬体系进行完善至关重要。通过分析发现,该薪酬体系存在薪酬结构简单、低激励、薪酬体系考核和监督脱节等问题。论文在现有文献和军工研究所"三元"薪酬结构的基础上,针对具体问题建立"五元"薪酬体系方案。"五元"薪酬体系方案分别从明确优化方向、宽带薪酬策略、确定优化的目标和方法、制定方案以及考核与保障策略进行设计,为改革提供科学、合理、有效的解决建议。     

信号级协同计算平台架构及应用思考

针对智能化作战对军事电子信息系统计算能力提升的迫切需求，结合云计算的资源虚拟化、大数据的分布式计算等技术，提出了基于嵌入式CPU+ALL（DSP、FPGA、PPC、GPU、AI处理器等）的异构处理的信号级协同计算平台架构，包括弹性、轻量级异构资源虚拟化模型、分布式实时计算框架和智能计算框架等，形成了一套架构统一、资源共用、使用简便的协同计算和智能计算环境。通过战术级无线电认知和智能信号与信息处理两个典型应用场景，探讨了该信号级协同计算平台可能带来的颠覆性效用。     

军事后勤管理效益评价指标体系研究

在分析评价军事后勤管理效益特点的基础上,确立了建立军事后勤评价指标体系的原则。通过研究军事后勤管理效益的内容,建立了从军事后勤管理投资效益、军事后勤保障水平效益、军事后勤科研管理的经济效益、军事后勤维护修理效益4个方面分析,包含14个评价指标的后勤管理效益的评价指标体系。
