Embrace•perform•model: Complexity theory,contrarian case analysis,and multiple realities

This essay describes tenets of complexity theory including the precept that within the same set of data X relates to Y positively, negatively, and not at all. A consequence to this first precept is that reporting how X relates positively to Y with and without additional terms in multiple regression models ignores important information available in a data set. Performing contrarian case analysis indicates that cases having low X with high Y and high X with low Y occur even when the relationship between X and Y is positive and the effect size of the relationship is large. Findings from contrarian case analysis support the necessity of modeling multiple realities using complex antecedent configurations. Complex antecedent configurations (i.e., 2 to 7 features per recipe) can show that high X is an indicator of high Y when high X combines with certain additional antecedent conditions (e.g., high A, high B, and low C)—and low X is an indicator of high Y as well when low X combines in other recipes (e.g., high A, low R, and high S), where A, B, C, R, and S are additional antecedent conditions. Thus, modeling multiple realities—configural analysis—is necessary, to learn the configurations of multiple indicators for high Y outcomes and the negation of high Y. For a number of X antecedent conditions, a high X may be necessary for high Y to occur but high X alone is almost never sufficient for a high Y outcome.     

不同地板结构对建筑物节能防水性能提升研究

以具体工程的地板结构为案例,对比架空地板、普通实木地板以及普通钢筋混凝土地板在施工过程中产生的环境效益,系统研究建筑物的节能防水性、尺寸匹配,进而评价不同地板结构对建筑物的节能防水性能的影响。结果表明: 普通实木地板以及普通钢筋混凝土地板夏季易吸湿膨胀,冬季易干缩,节能防水性能较差;架空地板节能防水性、尺寸匹配等性能均优于普通实木地板以及普通钢筋混凝土地板,具有施工方便、耐久性好、易维修等特点,具有广阔的应用前景。     

担保企业集团内部控制机制的案例研究

本文按应国瑞（Robert K. Yin）著作《案例研究：设计与方法》和艾森哈特（Eisenhardt,1989）提出的案例研究的规范程序,从组织管理和人的行为视角,对KZ担保集团及其下属7个子公司的两个层面的内部控制机制进行了嵌入式的单案例研究。通过案例分析验证或修正了本文所提出的理论框架,并对其给予了合理的解释。本文认为,KZ担保集团内部控制机制是对内部控制理论有益的拓展,既扬弃了现有企业内部控制和公司治理理论,也为担保企业集团内部控制的实践提供了启示。     

Market representations in industrial marketing: Could representations influence strategy?

A central question in industrial marketing is whether the form in which the market of a firm is represented influences the marketing strategy. This question has been studied generally through case study research, and quantitative evidence is limited. In response to this limitation, this paper reports on a quasi-experiment investigating whether market representations have a constructive aspect in business. Empirically, this study compares two types of market representations - ostensive and performative - in order to test for influence exacted in two well-established strategies in industrial marketing - service focus and product differentiation. Results indicate that service focus is selected when market representations rely on agency in firms (i.e., performative), and product strategies are selected when structures are emphasized (i.e., ostensive). This paper contributes to methodology development by expanding the link between a case study approach and quasi-experiments explaining how quasi-experiments can replicate findings in industrial marketing.     

实施低成本扩张战略的案例分析

低成本扩张战略是企业快速发展壮大的一种重要途径。近年来,随着国内经济的快速发展,能源和资源供求矛盾不断突出,各地政府承担的节能减排压力日益增加,迫切要求在保护环境的前提下,扩大能源和资源的供给量,缓解供需矛盾。通过运用五种力量模型、SWOT模型、现金流量分析等方法,对热锗联产和延迟焦化两个项目进行全方位分析和综合评估,可以看出,延迟焦化项目内外部环境比较有利于项目的实施,其优势明显大于劣势,机遇大于威胁,项目实施可行性较强。

村级公共产品一事一议财政奖补制度构建

农村村级公共产品供给中的一事一议制度在实践中面临着“事难议，议难决，决难行”的三难困境；产生这一困境的主要原因在于农民收入偏低、基层政府财政困难和制度本身的缺陷。破解一事一议推行困境需要建立和完善财政奖补制度，加大财政转移支付力度，培育多元投入主体，以改善村级公共产品供给状况。     

Application of early risk detection concepts and methods to environmental health. A German feasibility study

Early risk detection is essential for being able to address the most important environmental health risk‐topics in a persistent and prospective manner. In support of the action programme “Environment and Health” (APUG) of the German Federal Ministry of Health and Social Security (BMGS) and the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, and Nuclear Safety (BMU) which recommended that a detection and evaluation system for the timely recognition of emerging risk problems be developed, a qualitative feasibility study was commissioned. The results of this study are presented here and support the development of an early risk detection system based on the insights gained from the investigation of case studies and the differentiation and presentation of a risk typology, methods, tools, and suggested organizational processes.

The study has shown that early risk detection includes the identification, characterization, evaluation and dissemination of information on possible risks as well as the circumstances of appearance and distribution. The goal is the recognition of possible risks in order for risk management to be able to introduce swift and appropriate measures. Consequently, it can also serve as an instrument towards further development of a balanced and structured implementation of the precautionary principle in the environmental health policy.     

基于案例难度矩阵的物流管理课程案例教学方法研究

作为一种面向实际环境的教学方法,案例教学法能培养学生的分析能力、决策能力、表达能力、应用能力、社交能力,并能促进学生的创造性思维,培养学习兴趣,被广泛地应用于商科学生的教学实践中。目前,我国的案例教学存在优秀案例少、案例脱离实际等诸多问题。在案例教学过程中,教师们可以利用案例难度矩阵进行案例的组合、撰写,以达到案例教学的良好效果。最后,以物流管理课程为例,在课程的导入期,选择短小精悍的案例,介绍物流的基本理念;在大量知识点的章节,选择案例难度大的案例,通过让学生扮演物流管理人员的角色,激发学生参与教学的积极性;在基本内容传授之后,导入综合性案例,锻练学生全面、整体把握知识点的能力。对比发现,案例教学优于传统的灌输式教学模式,实现了教学目标,提高了教学质量。
