产业链的合作机制选择与低碳产品定价及碳减排策略

生产链上下游企业选择合适的合作机制对低碳产品定价及碳减排有重要影响。通过构建博弈模型分析三种不同合作机制下的低碳产品定价及碳减排问题:第一种合作机制即制造商与零售商进行合作,当两条生产链都选择这种合作机制时,能带来较高的碳减排率和较低的零售价格,这对制造商、零售商、消费者和环境都是有利的。第二种合作机制即两条生产链的制造商之间、零售商之间分别合作,这会带来较低的碳减排率和较高的零售价格,对两个制造商有利,而对零售商和消费者不利。分析前两种合作机制的利与弊提出第三种合作机制,即零售商和制造商共享利润下的有利于碳减排的策略。最后,结合案例讨论和数值分析的研究结果表明:当制造商和零售商收入共享比在一定范围内时,第三种合作机制可以给制造商和零售商带来更高的利润。由此为企业选择最佳的合作机制及合理的碳减排策略提供了理论指导。     

产品市场竞争、公司治理与企业房地产投资——来自A股上市公司的经验证据

通过研究在产品市场竞争与公司治理不同情境中企业投资房地产的经济后果，发现房地产投资对公司市场业绩和会计业绩均存在负向影响。这种影响在竞争性行业中更加明显，并随着治理水平的下降逐渐加强。分类研究显示，在行业竞争、公司治理水平均较低或较高的情况中，负向影响较小；其他中间状态下，负向影响显著。房地产投资对会计业绩的改善效应仅存在于产品市场竞争激烈且治理较差的环境中，与之相伴的是市场业绩的显著恶化。当行业竞争激烈时，中等密集度投资能够获得会计业绩的改善，但随着密集度或投资期的增加，转变为持续恶化效应。这些结论意味着，产品市场竞争与规范的公司治理能够约束企业无效的房地产投资。     

政府质量、科技创新与绿色GDP——中国省际空间溢出效应及区域差异对比

通过构建嵌入政府质量和科技创新因素的经济增长模型，利用中国30个省份2004~2017年的平衡面板数据，实证检验政府质量、科技创新对绿色GDP发展的影响。研究发现：中国绿色GDP存在显著的空间集聚性及明显的区域差异性。在经济权重矩阵影响下，不同地区的政府效率、市场化程度、公平程度和腐败程度对绿色GDP的影响不同，其中政府效率、公平程度能有效促进经济发展较好地区的绿色GDP增长，却会抑制比较落后地区绿色GDP的增长；市场化程度对大部分地区绿色GDP呈现促进作用；腐败程度对地区绿色GDP增长呈阻碍作用。科技创新对各地区绿色GDP均起到积极的促进作用。因此，提升绿色GDP发展水平不仅需要提高地方政府质量，为绿色GDP发展提供符合实际的政策指导意见，还需激活企业科技创新能力，为绿色GDP发展提供有力科技保障。     

黄浦江两岸地区公共空间可达性研究 ——基于社会网络分析的公共交通评价与 优化策略

黄浦江两岸地区正在打造世界级的滨江公共空间， 如何便捷、多样地抵达滨江公共空间是其规划设计和建设实施 的重要评价指标。将该评价指标定义为滨江公共空间可达性， 指居民利用滨江公共交通系统(常规公交)抵达滨江公共空间的 便捷性和多样性程度。利用社会网络分析方法，以虹口区和徐 汇区的滨江公共空间为例，构建了滨江公共空间可达性模型， 借助地理信息系统(ArcGIS)与计算机编程语言(Python)对现 状可达性进行量化分析评价，并提出优化滨江公共空间可达性 的算法和策略，以期更好地提升滨江公共空间可达性。     

基于多源数据的国土空间高质量利用评价思路

研究目的：新时代国土空间规划背景下，提出利用多源数据评价国土空间高质量利用的思路，为辅助编制高质量的国土空间规划提供支撑。研究方法：文献分析法、归纳演绎法。研究结果：在国土空间规划新趋势下，以国土空间高质量利用内涵为引导，提出生态空间、农业空间和城镇空间的高质量利用目标与评价维度，并构建了基于多源数据的国土空间高质量利用的评价方法框架。研究结论：国土空间高质量利用评价应在统筹各类空间不同目标间关系的基础上，结合研究和实践需要，因地制宜进行评价，进而形成各空间的发展合力，推进国土空间的高质量利用。     

建成环境如何影响老年人绿地使用频率 ——基于可达性和吸引力双重视角

老年人绿地使用频率与其体力活动水平和健康生活质量密切相关，且严重依赖绿地自身及周边建成环境。针对既有研究多集中于可达性分析的局限性，从可达性和吸引力双重视角出发，结合大连市老年人绿地活动调查数据，深入探究建成环境与老年人绿地使用频率的统计学关联性。研究发现：与空间临近性相比，绿地实际可达性对老年人活动的影响更为显著；不同绿地类型影响老年人的使用频率，社区公园和游园是高频体力活动的重要场所；此外，高品质的绿地环境、与居住用地相混合、临近生活性街道，以及周边多样化网点布局，均可正向调节老年人绿地使用频率。为营造老年友好型绿地，从空间配置、场所塑造、路径可达和功能诱发4个方面，提出结构化的建成环境优化策略。     

The impact of technical consultants on the quality of their clients' products: Evidence from the Bordeaux wine industry

Research summary : Recent research rooted in the resource‐based view of the firm suggests that resources are more likely to create value if they are effectively managed. An underlying assumption of the literature is that firms manage their resources on their own. However, many firms hire consultants to help them do so. In this study, I develop and test hypotheses regarding the impact of technical consultants on the quality of their clients' products. Using data from the Bordeaux wine industry, I find evidence that the use of technical consultants has a positive impact on relative product quality and a negative impact on the extremeness of relative product quality. Moreover, the positive impact of technical consultants on relative product quality is stronger at lower levels of relative resource quality. Managerial summary : Findings from a study in the Bordeaux wine industry indicate that the decision to hire consultants should depend on a firm's strategy. If a firm wants to improve its performance, it should hire consultants. Indeed, the “best practices” of technical consultants are generally more valuable than internally generated knowledge. If a firm wants to achieve outstanding performance, hiring consultants may not be the right decision. Because the “best practices” of technical consultants have more certain performance implications than internally generated knowledge, they decrease the likelihood of extremely low performance. However, their lack of uniqueness also decreases the likelihood of extremely high performance. Finally, the decision to hire consultants should depend on the quality of a firm's resources. Firms with low‐quality resources tend to benefit more from the “best practices” of technical consultants. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

When new product development fails in China: mediating effects of voice behaviour and learning from failure

This paper investigates conflicts following a new product development (NPD) failure. Conducted in a Chinese business setting, the study examines whether voice behaviour and learning from failure mediate the relationship between task- and emotional conflict emerging from NPD failure. Our findings indicate that voice behaviour and learning from failure are necessary to effectively reduce task and emotional conflict and thus to enhance future NPD. Specifically, it is revealed that emotional conflict leads to a reduced level; and that voice behaviour and learning from failure are significant mediators that influences the relationships between emotional and task conflicts with it.     

Assessing Value Co-Creation and New Product Success from Cultural Orientations and Relationship Marketing Perspectives

This study's main objective was to assess value co-creation and new product success among small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Indonesia by incorporating cultural orientations and relationship marketing perspectives. The samples were purposely selected in two sectors: handcraft and food and drink. They were approached through a door-to-door distribution of the questionnaires. The findings indicated that relationship quality can enhance value co-creation and new product success when SMEs have a favorable combination of learning, market, and entrepreneurial orientations. However, this study suggests that SMEs do not utilize their relationships as arenas for learning and learning orientation can affect relationship quality only when it is supported by the other orientations.     

The first space hotel employees: Human resources challenges in a post-terrestrial paradigm

ABSTRACT

This article discusses some of the issues regarding the first employees to work in a space hotel. As space hotels initially will be vastly different to existing hotels on Earth, it is important to question what human resource challenges this will raise for hospitality workers and providers. To assist reflection on this issue, the notions of space tourism and space tourist are explored, and a definition of a space hotel is included to create product and service boundaries. Plausible futures methodology is used to create five main human resource considerations and concludes by suggesting this sector is largely unexplored.
