工作分享对促进工作—生活平衡的作用研究

本文在分析工作分享理论和实践的基础上,剖析了我国实施工作分享的现实需求,提出了中国实施工作分享对促进企业员工工作—生活平衡的理论设想,并进行了实证研究,验证了实施工作分享可以缓解工作—家庭冲突、促进工作—生活平衡,一定程度上降低工作压力。工作分享理论是“以人为本”的管理理论,有利于员工全面发展,实现员工从“经济人”向“社会人”,再向“自我实现人”的发展,有利于建设积极的员工与企业的协调关系。     

Intended and unintended termination of international joint ventures

This study proposes that international joint ventures (IJVs) are terminated either when the initial purposes of the formation of the IJV have been achieved (intended termination), or when unanticipated contingencies that emerge in the external, internal, or inter‐partner conditions after the establishment of the IJV impede the continuation of its operation (unintended termination). Our study examines the factors that affect intended and unintended termination and the longevity of IJVs. The findings show that approximately 90 percent of all IJV terminations are unintended and 10 percent intended, and that the frequency of intended termination and unintended termination varies noticeably depending on the initial purposes of formation. This suggests that the termination of IJVs is significantly contingent on their formation. The findings also show that the longevity of IJVs varies according to the initial purposes of formation, the initial conditions under which the IJV is formed, and the types of unanticipated contingencies that it encounters. The key theoretical issues and practical implications of the distinction between the intended and unintended termination of IJVs are also discussed. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Managing International Distribution Channel Partners: A Cross-Cultural Approach

Although the topic of conflict has been extensively studied in the distribution channels literature from a domestic perspective, there is relatively little published research examining the construct within the international distribution channels context. This is of particular concern because cross-national channel partnerships are on the rise, and divergent cultures may engender heightened conflict, which has a deleterious effect on channel performance. This article explores the extent to which different channel leadership styles, predicated on Hofstede's dimensions of national culture, can be effective strategies to manage conflict in international distribution channels. Specifically, the article examines whether the relationship between leadership style and conflict in international distribution channels is moderated by national culture. Additionally, the impact of manifest conflict on international channel partner performance is investigated. A conceptual model and research propositions are developed. The use of leadership styles to manage disagreements among international channel partners is argued to be culturally specific. International channel management implications and directions for future research are suggested.     

公众预期、通胀成因与经济波动牵扯

针对金融危机冲击下各国宏观经济政策所导致的新的世界经济波动,结合中国当前通货膨胀两难局面,运用古典模型中的二分法解构中国通货膨胀,得出名义变量引致了通胀的结论,并将古典增长模型与利率平滑规则有机结合,推断出现阶段通胀背景下仍应坚持适度从紧的货币政策规则,引导公众心理形成稳定的期望收入预期,才能真正意义上在稳定通胀的同时,形成社会理性消费预期,从而使扩大内需成为可能,这才是解决现阶段增长困境所在。     

社会冲突事件中的群体心理分析

社会群体心理与社会冲突的规模、烈度及其演变等存在着紧密的关联性。实证调研显示,社会冲突中存在着盲目从众心理、包容理解心理、借机宣泄心理、造势心理、认同心理等,同时社会冲突中群体心理存在着复杂性、矛盾性、非理性和传染性等特征。社会冲突的群体心理虽然矛盾而非理性,但其发生也有一定的规律可循。群体心理经由暗示、感染与模仿三个连续性环节固有的一般机理、公权正义的认同现状与群体心理的关联互动、社会舆论与群体心理的交相辉映等都反映出社会冲突群体心理发生、演变的一般规律。     

欧盟在巴以和平进程中的作用分析

欧盟积极参与巴以谈判和巴以冲突危机处理，以经济和财政支持为主要手段、构建区域合作机制，为缓和巴以关系创造条件，提供多层次平台，积极帮助解决巴以冲突问题。然而，由于巴以矛盾的复杂性、欧盟成员国缺乏采取共同行动的政治意愿、加之美国对巴以和平进程的掌控，欧盟的影响力受到限制。在中东变局下，欧盟有必要联合中国和俄罗斯组成平衡美以关系的国际力量，提出新的巴以和平计划，为推动巴以和平进程发挥独特作用。     

Regime-switching and interest rates in the European monetary system

This paper examines the impact that a currency target zone has on short-term interest rates. For a number of countries in the European Monetary System, we characterize the short rate using a regime-switching model that allows for a differently parameterized mean-reverting square-root process in each regime. We find that the volatility, the level, and the speed-of-adjustment are all higher in the regime that is operative during speculative attacks and currency crises. Moreover, we allow the conditional probability of being in each regime to be state-dependent so the model can be used to examine questions relating to the likelihood of realignments and the stability of the target zone system.     

司法是解决社会冲突的终极途径

社会冲突分为实体性冲突和程序性冲突两种。解决社会冲突的途径有当事人之间的和解、第三者的调解、当事人的申诉,仲裁机构的仲裁及法院的诉讼等。在这诸多的途径中,司法诉讼是终级途径。司法改革应扫除一切阻碍司法解决争端的障碍,将司法至上真正化为立法和司法的语言。
