Unlocking the potential of advanced manufacturing technologies

This research examines whether investments in advanced manufacturing technologies (AMTs) such as flexible manufacturing systems (FMS), computer aided design (CAD), computer aided manufacturing (CAM), robotics, etc., are more likely to lead to improved performance if they are supported by improvements in the manufacturing infrastructure of the company. This question is evaluated using data gathered from 202 manufacturing plants chosen from industries generally considered to have relatively high investments in technology.Multiple item scales are developed and adapted from sources in the literature to measure investments in technology, infrastructure, and the performance of the plant. Evidence supporting the reliability and validity of these scales is provided. Hierarchical regression is used to analyze the relationship between technology, infrastructure, and performance. The results suggest that there is an important interaction between the adoption of advanced manufacturing technologies and investments in infrastructure. Firms that invest in both AMTs and infrastructure perform better than firms which only invest in one or the other. Separate analyses on sub-samples of firms with the highest and lowest investments in AMTs show that infrastructural investments have a stronger relationship with performance in the high investment group. Thus, the data indicate that infrastructural investments provide a key to unlocking the potential of advanced manufacturing technologies.

Understanding resource deployment efficiency for ESG and financial performance: A DEA approach

COVID-19 has stimulated additional research interest on economic sustainability and ESG in both academia and industry. This study adopts a DEA approach to examine the efficiency of achieving ESG targets and their relationships with financial performance. Using MSCI ESG data from 2015 to 2019 on 1108 Chinese firms, we examine the ESG proportional and pillar mix efficiencies. The dominant strategies for our sampled firms are to improve overall ESG performance by enhancing the E and S pillars through sacrificing G’s performance. The second result shows a positive relationship between proportional efficiency and financial performance while a mixed relationship between pillar mix efficiency and financial performance. However, for the technology sector, there exists some trade-offs between ESG performance and financial performance. Specifically, relative to non-technology firms, improving proportional and pillar mix efficiencies for technology firms could result in some sacrifice in stock valuation.     

地域商会有助于缓解企业融资约束吗?——来自A股民营上市企业的证据

破解民营企业的融资困境是事关新时代我国民营经济高质量发展的重要课题。本文以2008-2017年民营上市企业为研究样本,基于民营企业加入地域商会的研究视角,深入考察这一由政府部门核准成立的社会组织能否以及如何帮助企业缓解融资约束。结果发现,加入地域商会后,民营企业的融资约束程度得到了有效缓解。机制检验显示,地域商会有助于扩展会员企业融资所需的社会网络以及提高企业融资时的议价能力;从具体的融资渠道来看,地域商会的作用主要体现为帮助会员企业获得更多的信贷支持和商业信用。进一步地,对于市场议价能力较弱的小规模企业,面临经营困境的企业,以及所在地区的信用环境遭受冲击的企业,或位于市场化程度较低地区的企业而言,加入地域商会的积极影响更为明显。
