Managing internationalization and innovation tradeoffs in entrepreneurial firms: Evidence from transition economies

For entrepreneurial firms (EFs), internationalization and innovation present two major avenues for growth. Prior research, based primarily on EFs from advanced economies, demonstrates mixed insights for the relationship between these strategies. A deeper understanding of the tradeoffs involved in the internationalization-innovation relationship may help better comprehend the issue. In this study, we draw on the organizational learning and capabilities-based literatures to examine the relationship in the context of EFs in transition economies (EFTEs). Our findings suggest that in EFTEs, internationalization is negatively associated with the likelihood of innovation. We also find that three knowledge-based capabilities of EFTEs (absorptive capacity, appropriation capability, and managerial capability) positively moderate the aforementioned negative relationship. We do not find any evidence of reverse causality (EFTE innovation impacting internationalization). Our research provides novel insights to the IE literature by shedding light on the internationalization–innovation tradeoffs that EFTEs experience.     

Planning consistency and implementation in urbanizing China: Comparing urban and land use plans in suburban Beijing

The evaluation of the extent to which urban and land use planning have achieved their objectives is crucial to better management of urban land development. China’s urban and land use plans have the common purpose of controlling urban sprawl. This research aimed at comparatively assessing the consistency and implementation of these plans, considering the Changping District in suburban Beijing as a case study. Three main findings were obtained: (1) each plan used different strategies to control new developments, and there were several quantitative and spatial conflicts between the two plans; (2) neither plan has been well implemented or effective in controlling urban sprawl, despite the slightly better performance of the land use plan; (3) core-periphery decreasing trends were revealed in land quota allocation and effectiveness of planning implementation. Remote regular towns received the least land resources from the top-down planning system but also developed fast, mainly through informal and illegal approaches. Further investigation into the double failure of China’s current spatial planning system in quantitative and spatial control over urban land development requires a deeper integration of various spatial management systems, a fundamental transformation of planning philosophy, and a higher respect for peripheral areas in urban-rural integration. The planning assessment approach and reform recommendations developed on the basis of the Chinese practice are probably referable for other developing countries facing similar processes of rapid urbanization and imperfect spatial management.     

城市创业环境指数研究——基于长江三角洲实证

创业环境评价是按照一定的评价标准对一定区域范围内的创业环境现状进行定性和定量调查分析,将创业环境用指数予以量化,其有利于各地区创业活动的比较,并对创业者创业地点的选择和对创业政策机制的改善产生一定的积极意义。通过提出城市创业环境指数的概念,并建立指数框架体系,运用一定的数学方法对长江三角洲部分城市的创业环境作出评价。

新产品开发的自主创新管理模式探讨

新产品开发的自主创新管理模式与企业自身条件、战略目标、资源禀赋等密不可分。将浙江省高新技术企业作为研究对象,运用因子分析得到影响企业新产品开发的三大影响因素,分别对应于3种自主创新管理模式：以战略平台为核心、以组织资本为核心、以技术能力为核心。以新产品开发为衡量标准,对这3种管理模式进行了实证分析,寻找最适合浙江省高新技术企业新产品开发的管理模式,为浙江省高新技术企业自主创新管理提供借鉴。     

Ownership,performance, and innovation in China's large- and medium-size industrial enterprise sector

China's 22,000 large- and medium-size enterprises (LMEs) stand at the pinnacle of Chinese industry. Although they account for less than a fraction of a percent of China's nearly 8 million industrial enterprises, they collectively account for one third of the nation's total industrial output. Using a panel of these enterprise data for 1994–1999, we find a rapidly diversifying ownership structure in which the role of the state is steadily retreating. At the same time, we find considerable variation in measures of performance across ownership types and see emerging within Chinese industry, evidence of high-intensity R&D performers that exhibit substantial innovation capabilities.     

网络位置、技术学习与集群企业创新绩效——基于对绍兴纺织产业集群的实证考察

我国土地出让金支出结构及其问题

分析了2008—2010年上海、深圳、杭州的市本级财政预算执行情况和国有土地出让金收支情况,对比了三市土地出让金支出结构。结果显示:我国土地出让金的年度总额增长迅猛,土地出让金支出结构存在较大的地区差异;土地出让金支出结构不明晰,安排缺乏合理性;土地出让金样本城市的支出结构分布比例与现行政策支出范围特别是重点支出要求存在较大差距。最后探讨了导致上述问题的原因。     

浙江省纺织产业集群的生命周期——基于TOPSIS评价方法

构建了集群变迁诱因及特征变化趋势的演化路径图,并利用TOPSIS评价方法分析了浙江纺织业中小企业集群的变迁诱因及其特征变化,发现浙江纺织业中小企业集群处于生命周期的成熟阶段。研究结果表明,为防止集群从成熟向衰退发展,必须采取中观政策干预,激发新的诱因和特征转变,从而改变集群发展轨迹。
