独立学院数码钢琴集体课的教学与教育初探

数码钢琴集体课是传统钢琴教学与现代高新科技（计算机技术、光电技术、数字处理技术、音频采样技术）相结合而发展起来的一门新型教学方式,以学习钢琴弹奏为基本目的,采用＂一对多＂集体课的授课方式,以渗透乐理、视唱练耳、和声编配、简易作曲、即兴伴奏等为教学内容的全新学习途径。它的产生丰富了钢琴教学手段、改革了授课形式、完善了教学内容,不仅是对传统＂一对一＂教学的补充,更是钢琴教育在方法和思想上的一个突破。     

Ethical Issues in Australian Marketing Research Services

Abstract

The study focuses on Australian marketing research professionals' perceptions toward ethics in the marketing research profession and research services. These perceptions are specifically related to the ethical environment, ethical guidance, and leadership responsibility, factors leading to unethical marketing research practices and ethical climate characteristics. Overall findings underscore the importance of the role of management in setting the ethical tone and developing an appropriate frame of reference for ethical conduct and guidance in Australian marketing research.     

Internationalization of multi-source feedback systems: a six-country exploratory analysis of 360-degree feedback

In the past few years, few human resource practices have received as much attention as multi-source feedback systems (MSFSs). In the US and Canada, it is estimated that over one-third of organizations are using some form of MSFS and recent surveys show that this practice is still gaining popularity. Concurrently, a substantial amount of literature has focused on the effectiveness of this performance management practice. However, while few would dispute the popularity of MSFS, relatively little has been published on the use of these systems outside North America and thus little is known about their form and effectiveness in international contexts. This paper outlines the results of an international survey of MSFS. Interview data from HR managers and consultants from Argentina, Australia, China, Slovakia, Spain and the UK demonstrate that MSFS are being implemented, in slightly different ways, in each of these six countries. The main challenges in the application of MSFS in these various countries are the communication efforts necessary before and after implementation, and the inherent difficulty in giving and receiving feedback. The results of this study also provide data as to the perceived future of MSFS in each of the countries surveyed.     

APPLYING A GENETIC ALGORITHM TO INTERNATIONAL DIVERSIFICATION OF EQUITY PORTFOLIOS: A SOUTH AFRICAN INVESTOR PERSPECTIVE

This paper uses the genetic algorithm (GA) approach to generate a portfolio optimisation scenario of a South African investor who seeks to maximise return from investing in S&P500, FTSE100, NASDAQ, DOWJONES, CAC40 and the DAX from January 1, 2005, to January 31, 2008, but facing exchange rate risk. The GA searches for the optimal solution in the entire set of financial constraints without looking for partial derivatives of the utility function. Whereas most financial problems require a non‐linear and time‐varying model, the GA, with its survival principle of offspring chromosomes, is better suited to this type of problem than local optimisation methods. The performance of the GA is compared with two non‐linear models, namely the quadratic mean‐variance (QMV), which maximises the portfolio mean‐variance, and the quadratic variance minimisation (QVM), which minimises the portfolio variance. The results show that neither the QMV nor the QVM takes into account the domestic investors' risk attitude towards investing in foreign equities and therefore does not provide any international diversification benefits. In addition, the bootstrapping scenario of 10,000 simulations reveals that neither the QMV nor the QVM outperforms the GA in terms of Sharpe ratio and flexibility in dealing with investors' risk attitude towards investing in foreign equities denominated in foreign currencies.

International recruitment and selection practices of South Korean multinationals in China

South Korean multinational enterprises (MNEs) have developed rapidly since the late 1950s. However, there is little research on, and hence little is known about, how South Korean MNEs manage human resources in overseas operations. To fill this gap, in the literature the current study investigates South Korean MNEs' international recruitment and selection policies and practices in their Chinese operations. It reveals that South Korean MNEs tend to adopt the polycentric approach or a mixed approach of being polycentric and ethnocentric to international staffing, with the number of expatriates dropping gradually over time. South Korean MNEs adopt ‘one-way selection’ in recruiting and selecting expatriates, and localise recruitment procedures and selection criteria for host-country nationals. South Korean MNEs have paid inadequate attention to: first, expatriates' career development; and second, personal and family issues emerging from expatriation and repatriation.     

农产品国际贸易中私营标准及其影响研究

私营商业标准对发展中国家的影响是国际贸易领域的新争论点之一。对于我国茶叶、蜂产品部分企业的调查发现,私营标准的实施的确提高了生产供应企业的市场竞争力,但其表面的自愿性与实际的强制性使生产供应企业不得不为满足相应的要求而增加投入,这对生产供应企业特别是中小生产企业构成重大挑战。同时,实施私营标准对于提高企业效率、增加利润以及改善社会和环境表现等效果尚不明确,不同产品之间差异较大。     

国际间政府采购技术规范体系框架的构建

《政府采购协议》（Government ProcurementAgreement，GPA）是WTO管辖的单项贸易协议，是各缔约方对外开放政府采购市场，以实现政府采购国际化和自由化的法律文件。我国于2007年12月正式启动了加入GPA谈判。文章深入分析了WTO《政府采购协议》（GPA）有关技术规格的规定及GPA成员国技术规范体系，通过剖析国际间政府采购关键技术节点，以功能和性质为依据构建了我国国际间政府采购技术规范体系框架。
