Cooperation strategies in port-oriented bulk supply chains: aligning concept and practice

It seems intuitively obvious that firms in supply chains may have more to gain than to lose from learning to cooperate; but it is now more than two decades since Poirier [1999. Advanced Supply Chain Management. San Francisco, CA: Barrett-Koehler] and others called for cooperation in order to capture mutual gains in supply networks and even now ‘cooperation is neither common nor easy’. The simple fact is that not only are supply chains exceptionally complex but so too is the ‘process of cooperating’ – often in the context of antitrust legislation and competition policy. This paper argues that there is a critical need to rethink the principles and processes of cooperation within the broader framework of the competitive behaviour of firms and business strategy. Particularly, it suggests that the relatively recent thinking of Greenwald and Kahn [2005 Greenwald, B., and J. Kahn. 2005. Competition Demystified A Radically Simplified Approach to Business Strategy. New York, NY: Portfolio, The Penguin Group. [Google Scholar]. Competition Demystified A Radically Simplified Approach to Business Strategy. New York, NY: Portfolio, The Penguin Group] in their ‘radically simplified approach to business strategy’ offers sound conceptual insights into cooperation and cooperative strategies for firms not only in markets but also in chains. Furthermore, it notes that the analytical framework for cooperation and cooperative strategies which the authors develop is far removed from the notion of cooperation as ‘commitment and trust and shared thinking’ and from ‘buyer/seller reciprocity’ and ‘collaborative attitudes’ which tend to underwrite much contemporary thinking and research. The paper also argues that the Greenwald and Kahn framework – its single intelligence model of cooperation and cooperative strategies – resonates with real-world relevance, at least for particular supply chains. The paper focuses attention on research into globally significant export coal chains from major east coast Australian ports and in brief case studies finds substantial alignment between concept and practice.

金融危机正在改变世界

当前金融危机是经济周期的必然结果，其直接原因是以美元为核心的单体国际货币体系和保护主义日益严重导致的全球经济的长期失衡，要通过这场金融危机来平衡全球金融体系和经济的关系。因此，建立多元的国际货币体系，是这次金融危机之后最重大的金融制度的变革。目前金融还是现代经济的核心和心脏，不能因为金融危机而停止中国金融的市场化改革的步伐；同时，金融危机给中国带来了两个难得的机遇，即人民币的国际化和全球金融中心的构建。

斜拉桥主塔弹性稳定简化分析

国民经济的飞速发展和国家对基础设施投入的进一步加强为我国大跨桥梁的发展提供了一个良好的条件,近十几年来,斜拉桥在我国迅速发展。由于悬吊桥梁的主塔均需承受巨大的轴向压力,而且随着桥梁跨度的增大,主塔也越来越高,结构越来越柔,其稳定问题成为一个非常突出的问题。尤其是其侧向稳定在设计时更需特别注意。尤其独塔单索面斜拉桥在空间受力和稳定性方面都相对比较薄弱,对其进行稳定性分析更显必要。
