Innovation as a determinant of suppliers’ roles and performances: an empirical study in the food machinery industry

The basic premise of this study is that suppliers, in order to compete successfully in the marketplace, have to develop certain innovative capabilities that, in turn, depend on the type of relationship that is established with customers (in other words, the strategic role assumed by the supplier in the supply chain). Based on a study of 198 suppliers operating in the food packaging machinery industry, structural equation modelling has revealed that customers actually assign suppliers different roles and give them varying levels of responsibility in the product development and manufacturing stages. These roles are correlated to the supplier's distinctive innovation capabilities. Clustering analysis is used to divide the suppliers into homogeneous groups. Innovative capabilities are not only associated with traditional competencies in R&D and product/process innovation but also in supportive capabilities in the form of absorptive capacity, technological scanning, innovation-oriented culture, skills and know-how of individuals and managerial practices. The impact of different innovative capabilities (both technological and managerial) on critical performance factors such as price, quality, time and flexibility is measured for each type of supplier in turn. The research findings lend support to the hypothesis that the level of investment in technology and the acquisition of specific managerial capabilities are, to a large extent, a determinant of supplier–customer interdependence.     

Managing Creative People: Strategies and Tactics for Innovation

With rapid changes in technology, and global competition, the success of many organizations has become progressively more dependent on their ability to bring innovative products to market. Ultimately, however, innovation depends on the generation of creative, new ideas. Accordingly, the literature bearing on the nature of creativity is reviewed to identify the conditions that influence innovation. Observations about the nature of creativity are used to draw conclusions about the kind of human resource management strategies that might enhance creativity. It is argued that organizations should consider multiple interventions that take into account the individual, the group, the organization, and the strategic environment when selecting interventions intended to enhance creativity.     

中国社会养老体系建设的研究新思路

家庭养老作为一种制度体系,有其深刻的意识形态传统并植根于中国特定的生产组织模式。基于东西方社会生产方式演变过程中生产组织关系的对比视角,在养老体系建设的框架中,抓住中国绵延千载的家庭养老模式的特点,对中国社会养老模式应具备的特点进行了探索。在我国发达城市逐渐兴起的义工养老模式是具备稳定潜质和长久不衰潜质的社会养老模式。据此设想中国社会养老体系建设过程中的挑战与对策。     

Measuring hotel performance: Using a balanced scorecard perspectives’ approach

This paper provides an examination of hotel performance research published in the seven leading hospitality and tourism journals from 1992 to 2011, through the lens of the balanced scorecard (BSC). The review seeks to answer three questions. What BSC perspectives are included in hotel performance research published in major hospitality and tourism journals? What are the trends and implications for future hotel performance research? What are the main geographical areas of publication outputs?Eleven hypotheses were tested using a database of 138 articles that fully met the key word selection criteria of hotel, BSC and performance. The results suggest hotel performance attracts widespread attention from hospitality scholars, but significant gaps remain. Researchers have recognised the benefits of including financial and non-financial indicators. Yet, more research is required in this area to offer hotel organisations better approaches to the management of their performance. We conclude by identifying three research gaps.     

Option pricing with Weyl–Titchmarsh theory

In the Black–Merton–Scholes framework, the price of an underlying asset is assumed to follow a pure diffusion process. No-arbitrage theory shows that the price of an option contract written on the asset can be determined by solving a linear diffusion equation with variable coefficients. Applying the separating variable method, the problem of option pricing under state-dependent deterministic volatility can be transformed into a Schrödinger spectral problem, which has been well studied in quantum mechanics. With Weyl–Titchmarsh theory, we are able to determine the boundary condition and the nature of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions. The solution can be written analytically in a Stieltjes integral. A few case studies demonstrate that a new analytical option pricing formula can be produced with our method.     

强干扰下跳频信号的提取

It is hard to extract frequency hopping(FH) signal under strong interf erence. An extraction method of FH signal is proposed based on image processing technology and noise peak finding. Based on Short Time Fourier Transform(STFT) time frequency spe ctrum, a noise floor estimation method based on morphological image processing is modi fied. After noise removing, the number of signals and corresponding frequencies on each time instant are estimated. Finally, characteristics of FH signal are picked up to eliminate the strong interference according to its duration. Simu lat ions show that this method can preferably pick up characteristics of FH signal w ith strong interferences existing.     

On the industry experience premium and labor mobility

There is evidence that experience premium differs across industries. We propose a theoretical model for explaining these differences. We assume that labor mobility brings external knowledge to the firm, which increases its productivity. We find that industry experience premium is decreasing in inter-firm mobility costs, while increasing in the learning-by-doing and the technological level of the industry. Moreover, it has a U-shape relationship with the level of learning-by-hiring, the substitutability between different types of experienced workers and the variety of knowledge in the industry. Results are consistent with the empirical findings that R&D-intensive industries have steeper wage profiles.     

传统社会主义道路的传延与变革

党的第一代领导集体开辟了社会主义道路,对中国社会主义现代化建设做出了重大贡献。在改革开放的新时期,我们党又开辟了中国特色社会主义道路;由于它对党的第一代领导集体开辟的社会主义道路的继承和发展,产生出了传统社会主义道路。传统社会主义道路的创造,表明了党的各代领导集体是社会主义传统的继承者和维护者,显示了中国社会主义理论和实践的历史连续性。     

Evaluating corporate social responsibility of airlines using entropy weight and grey relation analysis

This paper applies entropy weight and grey relation analysis to evaluate corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance of eight Chinese major airlines. This paper intends to achieve two main aims. First, this study uses entropy to find the relative weights of performance measures of CSR. In so doing, we find that on-time performance, accident rate, flight frequency, growth of employees revenue, and employees revenue are relatively most important measures. Second, based on the results of entropy analysis, this study ranks the airlines in terms of CSR performance by grey relation analysis. This result shows that most of the larger state-controlled airlines perform better in performance of CSR. Furthermore, the private airline has made relatively large improvement in its CSR performance. In addition, the listed airlines are better than non-listed airlines in CSR performance.
