The Genesis of Relationships

SUMMARY

Productive relationships between a company and its customers are often the result of positive relationships between the company and its boundary spanning employees. The career entry transition marks the beginning of these interpersonal relationships, which have a significant impact on marketing performance. Using a sample of newly hired boundary spanning employees, we examine the influence of individual difference factors on boundary spanners' appraisals of the career entry transition. Significant relationships are found between boundary spanners' positive and negative appraisals of the transition and personal and non-organizational factors: perceived centrality of the work role, availability of resources (finances, social support, personal hope), and sense of coherence.

转型期政府在农村社会保障制度建设中的作用探讨

在社会主义本质这个层次，政府应坚持社会主义方向，实施有利于扩大就业的发展战略，积极为农民创造就业机会；调整财政支出结构，加大对农村和农业的支持；采取积极措施，缩小两极分化。以最终实现共同富裕；政府的经济职能、具体操作以及政府的局限性四方面分析了转型期政府在农村社会保障制度建设中：政府应该坚持社会主义方向；在政府的经济职能这个层次，政府应不同程度地介入不同的社会保障项目，以弥补市场失灵；从具体操作层次上，政府应承担起农村社会保障制度建设的主体作用；同时尽量避免政府失灵。     

小额贷款业务发展中的问题及转轨村镇银行的对策选择

小额贷款业务是对传统金融制度的一次创新，目前还存在着产品属性制约强、市场发展瓶颈大、贷款公司展基础薄、运行障碍多、帮扶效率低等诸多问题。我国目前试行小额贷款公司改制设立村镇银行的办法，需要借鉴小额贷款业务在国外发展的成功经验，结合我国农村金融发展实际，在小额贷款业务走向农村银行过程中采取放宽小额贷款公司股东数量限制、出台信贷业务准入规章制度以及尽快取消无抵押贷款的限制等对策措施，建立起合理、高效、服务农村经济发展的小额贷款制度。     

Towards an integrated framework for analysing sustainable innovation policy

An integrated framework for the analysis of sustainable innovation policy was developed, based on a combination of the transition management (TM) framework, the strategic niche management approach, and policy recommendations, resulting from technological innovation system (TIS) studies. In the framework, the multi-level view from TM has been integrated with the functions approach from the TIS literature. The integrated policy framework shows that specific policy goals and measures can be found at the specific points of intervention related to (the interfaces between) landscape, regime, TIS and niches. The integrated framework suggests that stimulation of a TIS only makes sense when this action is well aligned with landscape and regime developments. The framework should be used in empirical studies for further testing and refinement.     

Non‐linear geographics and the economics of transition and democratization1

The purpose of this study is to analyse the effects of geography on the transition process in authoritarian political regimes, and to investigate the nature of the links between political change, economic reforms and geographical location. A simple model of transition and democratization is presented wherein we show that the effectiveness of repression by the incumbent elite is a negative function of the distance to the ‘free world’. In consequence, geography has conflicting effects on shifts in political power. This article provides a rationale for the counterintuitive fact that the first authoritarian country to start a transition process towards democratization is not necessarily the one nearest to the free world.     

论产权制度变迁与基层民主的互动

随着我国产权制度变革,区域的经济与社会结构已悄然发生变迁.要保持区域制度变迁的"比较制度优势",就必须进一步推进地方政府体制变迁,满足区域民众日益增长的民主需求,建构基层民主秩序.基层民主的制度安排的价值并不在于选举制度本身,而是在于从根本上改变传统制度结构中"精英主导和民众缺位",逐步实现制度变迁过程中政治精英、经济精英、民众的和谐互动.     

哈尔滨市北郊菜地土壤重金属污染研究

以哈尔滨市北郊菜地土壤为研究对象,经过野外调查和室内分析对土壤的理化性质,重金属的含量及空间分异性以及土壤理化性质与土壤重金属之间的相关性进行研究;采用单因子和综合因子指数法对土壤中重金属的污染现状进行评价;结果表明,哈尔滨市北郊菜地土壤重金属污染的主要贡献因子是Cd;哈尔滨市北郊菜地土壤为轻污染;土壤对Cr,Cd和Ni的吸附容量取决于土壤颗粒的组成状况;Cu,Zn,Ni和Cr和土壤理化性质间存在相关性;重金属元素间存在相关性,说明它们的来源可能相同;造成这一结果的原因是受人类活动的影响。     

Innovation and diffusion of environmental technology: Industrial NOx abatement in Sweden under refunded emission payments

We study the actual process of technical change in the case of NOx abatement from large stationary sources that have been regulated by very forceful policies in Sweden. Considerable progress has been made in lowering aggregate emissions and this paper seeks to disaggregate average industry improvements to study how much of it is due to innovations by first movers, and how much is achieved by adoption and diffusion of technology. We find both factors very important. Innovation has been rapid: the best firms have cut emissions on the order of 70%. In spite of this, reductions have actually been even more rapid for the majority of firms so that the median firms have caught up with best practice. We analyze various characteristics of the technological change observed.     

黄石市基本农田水稻中重金属污染评价分析

对黄石市基本农田稻米中重金属含量进行了分析测定并进行相应的分析评价,以明确该地区稻米中的重金属污染情况。结果表明：基本农田稻米整体上已经受到了Pb污染,大冶市和阳新县的稻米均为重度Pb污染（污染指数分别为5.469和3.689）,未受到其他重金属污染（其他重金属的污染指数均小于1）;分析不同样点的污染情况,62%的样点为重污染水平,18%的样点为中污染水平,16%的样点为轻污染水平,其他为清洁水平;分析污染原因可能主要由废水浇灌以及大气重金属尘沉降等引起。
