Gay tourism in a sun and beach destination

Gay tourism is seen as an attractive business opportunity for many destinations. However, there is a lack of research at identifying the resources necessary for success in this type of tourism. This work is aimed at filling this gap by using the premises of the resource based view and transfers them to the analysis of territories to identify the valuable resources that are required for a sun and beach destination to attract gay tourists. To this end, this study has focused on a gay tourism sub niche, tourists lodged in gay-exclusive resorts in Gran Canaria. In order to confirm the validity of this approach, the relationship between the satisfaction of gay tourists and the condition of the valuable resources was studied by means of a robust statistical new method, namely Bayesian model averaging. That method permits the inclusion of uncertainty in the theoretical models that determine destination competitiveness, thus reducing many of the problems that arise in the application of the more conventional statistical methods in this type of analysis.     

Knowledge Synthesis and Innovative Logistics Processes: Enhancing Operational Flexibility and Performance

Research results are presented providing an empirical examination of the impact of knowledge synthesis and innovative logistics processes on operational flexibility. The research is theoretically grounded in the resource‐based view of the firm, augmented with the knowledge‐based view. Knowledge synthesis and innovative logistics processes are proposed as key resources in the development of an important logistics capability: operational flexibility. A structural model analysis of survey data collected from logistics executives supports the proposed relationships and indicates that innovative logistics processes can lead to greater operational flexibility. Operational flexibility is also shown to lead to higher levels of logistics performance.     

儒家义利观与马克思主义义利观之比较

儒家义利观与马克思主义义利观形成、发展的条件迥然不同,它们有明显的分歧和冲突。但同时它们都是人类智慧的结晶,因而又有共通之处。本文试图对儒家义利观与马克思主义义利观进行分析、比较,批判地继承儒家义利观的精华,为建立既具有民族特色,又符合时代精神的科学义利观服务。     

论新时期中国社会资本的流失与重构

社会资本是市场经济良性发展的必要因素,可以有效避免市场经济活动中的零和博弈现象,降低管理成本。目前中国的社会资本衰落,源于两个方面的因素：共同价值观的多元化和社会中信任的减少。重构社会资本,有赖于传统文化的复兴、执政党的示例作用和法制的加强。     

企业目标管理的基本问题研究

目标管理是现代企业管理的一种创新。文中通过梳理、评析目标管理思想的内涵和四种常见观点,进而提出了第五种能全面涵盖前四种的综合观点——系统观,并对系统观中的关键要素进行论述。目标管理思想的三个关键维度反映出其创新性和科学性,但由于目标管理存在对象选择性,其成效大小依赖于企业内部的资源要素,因此在实施前应做好评估和管理创新工作。在企业目标管理中,目标设置、目标的实施与控制、目标考核、利益机制构建、反馈等是其主要环节,应特别加以重视。     

论1930年前后自由主义知识分子的国家观——以“人权派”为中心的研究

1930年前后,曾经留学欧美的罗隆基、胡适等自由主义知识分子以《新月》月刊为阵地,以＂人权＂为旗号,发表了一系列文章批评国民党压迫人权的行径。他们以争＂人权＂为口号,对中国革命道路及建国等问题发表了自己的政治主张。然而,由于他们对当时中国国情认识不清,因此其国家观不可避免具有极大的局限性。     

Managing knowledge in foreign entry strategies: a resource‐based analysis

International strategies vary in their potential to exploit and augment a firm's resources, especially its knowledge base. Resource‐based analysis suggests clustering the diverse entry modes in terms of their exploitation and augmentation characteristics. We thus introduce a new categorization of entry modes based on their potential to augment the resources of an entrant. We then explore the antecedents of these modes, and advance testable propositions delimiting for which firms and in which circumstances each mode maximizes long‐term value creation. Finally, we outline how our resource‐based framework complements transaction‐cost‐based frameworks. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Bigger and safer: the diffusion of competitive advantage

Research on the diffusion of technologies that give competitive advantage is needed to understand the role of technology in competition. Predictions on which firms first obtain useful technologies are made by cluster theory, which holds that the diffusion is geographically bounded, and network theory, which holds that adoption is more rapid in central network positions. These predictions can be evaluated using data on the diffusion of supplier innovations that give competitive advantage to firms in the buyer industry. Here, the diffusion of new ship types is studied using the heterogeneous diffusion model and data on shipping firm‐shipbuilder networks, showing that valuable innovations remain rare because they are not adopted by distant firms in geographical and network space. The strong influence of geographically dispersed interfirm networks on technology diffusion justifies a greater role of interorganizational networks in the theory of competitive advantage.

中国钢铁产业竞争力研究——基于策略能力观的视角

本文基于策略能力观的视角,建立了中国钢铁产业竞争力的三双模型分析体系。重点从国民福利与产业利润、前向竞争力与后向竞争力、比较势力与比较效率三个方面分析了中国钢铁产业竞争力的现状。研究表明,从中国钢铁产业的前向竞争力来看,与发达国家钢铁产业及前向产业相比,虽然在产业规模上具有一定优势,但在整体势力与效率方面都居于劣势,最主要的是比较效率偏低;从中国钢铁产业的后向竞争力来看,竞争力不足既有比较势力偏弱的原因也有比较效率偏低的原因,并以比较势力偏弱为主。本文最后提出了一些对提高中国钢铁产业竞争力具有现实意义的政策取向。
