组织模块化对研究型大学技术转移绩效的影响

技术转移是将社会科技资源转化为实体经济效益的重要途径。当前，我国研究型大学技术转移渠道不畅、技术转移绩效不高、大学科技成果成功产业化“最后一公里”问题凸显。基于现实需求和研究缺口，构建组织模块化对研究型大学技术转移绩效影响的理论模型。在此基础上，收集我国38所研究型大学样本数据，采用SPSS24.0和AMOS软件进行结构方程路径分析，论证和检验组织模块化对于研究型大学技术转移绩效的影响机制。结果表明：组织模块化对研究型大学技术转移绩效具有显著正向影响；技术创新能力在组织模块化与技术转移绩效之间起显著中介作用；知识共享的调节作用主要体现在组织模块化独立性、响应性与技术创新能力之间的关系上，其对组织模块分工性与技术创新能力关系的影响作用不显著。     

Reward meritocracy or nepotism: The case of independent financial advisors appointed by Chinese listed companies

As independent financial advisors, securities firms are the core intermediaries in major asset reorganization (MAR) of listed companies. Furthermore, they play the dual roles of transaction and authentication. Based on this institutional background, this paper studies how listed companies choose between industry experience (“meritocracy”) and relationships (“nepotism”). Using the MAR of A-share listed companies from 2008 to 2013 as the sample, this paper shows that higher transaction costs (i.e., greater demand for the transaction function of advisors) are related to the higher possibility of advisors with weaker relationships and more industry experience being hired. It also shows that higher suspicion of tunneling (i.e., greater demand for the signal of fairness associated with advisors’ authentication function) is related to the higher possibility of advisors with weaker relationships being hired, but it is not significantly related to whether advisors have more or less industry experience. This paper also shows that reputation has a certain governance effect on the negative consequences of relationship. For the most part, listed companies reward meritocracy but not nepotism when appointing independent financial advisors.     

The impact on stock prices of deferral and elimination of internal control audit requirement for small firms

This paper examines the cumulative market reaction to the events related to deferral of internal control audit requirement under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and its elimination under the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010 for nonaccelerated filers (small firms). We document that small firms experienced negative cumulative abnormal returns around these events; and the differences between the cumulative abnormal returns for small firms and the two control groups (accelerated and large accelerated filers) were negative and significant at the 1% level. These results support the notion that market participants value the reliability of financial information irrespective of the firm size. Within the small firms, we find no firm characteristic significantly explains the market reaction to the events considered. That is, all small firms lost market value in reaction to the events that delayed and eliminated their internal control audit requirement.     

Accounting as an engine for the re‐creation of strategy at a university

This paper examines the role of accounting in the strategy re‐creation of a university. Drawing on Donald MacKenzie's theoretical notion of performative engines, our field study of an Australian university reveals how accounting, through various calculative practices, fuelled change and steered people into strategic action, leading to the formation of a new strategic plan. We contribute to the existing accounting and higher education literature on university strategising by illustrating how accounting, when convincing and accepted by decision‐makers, can function as an engine for the transformation and financialisation of universities’ strategies.

Inequality and entrepreneurial thresholds

We explore the relationship between inequality and entrepreneurial activity. Drawing on cross-sectional data from a largescale survey of the economic conditions of individuals across India, we develop a number of dimensions of inequality to explore empirically how inequality interacts with entrepreneurship, operationalized as self-employment or as employing other people. We find compelling evidence that there are thresholds to becoming self-employed, and even more so to assembling the combinations of resources and personal attributes required to become an employer. Greater inequality leaves more people unable to make the transition to self-employment, leaving casual laboring as the occupation of necessity. At the same time, inequality increases the number of employers in a society, by concentrating resources - particularly land and finance - enough for significant numbers of people to be able to cross this higher threshold. Lastly, greater differentiation into social or religious groups curtails the ability to cross either entrepreneurial threshold, presumably by limiting the extent and benefits of social networks of value for entrepreneurship.     

Marketing perspectives on digital business models: A framework and overview of the special issue

Strong digital developments are changing markets, and firms may adopt a digital business model to deal with these developments. This special issue focuses on such digital business models. In this editorial, we discuss the relevance of digital business models, propose a conceptual framework, and discuss how digital business models affect firms, firm performance, and markets. We introduce the papers in this issue and show how they each fit within the conceptual framework. We discuss four important areas for future research.     

学术印记、网络惯例与大学衍生企业产业嵌入

在大学衍生企业创业实践中，与产业主体间缺乏合作默契已成为大学衍生企业向产业网络嵌入的重要阻滞因素。针对该问题，基于网络惯例新视角，从大学衍生企业学术创生背景带来的异质性入手，构建“学术印记—网络惯例—产业网络嵌入”作用模型，探索技术动荡性的调节效应。运用多元回归分析等方法，对379家大学衍生企业调研数据进行实证检验。结果表明，大学衍生企业学术印记对网络惯例建立具有积极促进作用。同时，在向产业嵌入过程中，网络惯例对产业网络嵌入两个维度的作用机制存在差异，与结构嵌入存在倒U型关系，但正向促进关系嵌入。技术动荡性在“学术印记—网络惯例—产业网络关系嵌入”关系中具有正向调节作用。     

知识活动视角下企业大学类型及其支撑能力体系

基于知识视角，任何组织开展的活动均可视为知识活动。企业大学所从事的知识活动不仅包括知识转移活动，还包括知识创造活动和应用孵化活动，不同企业大学开展的知识活动不同，对以上3类知识活动的主导程度也不同。借鉴扎根分析流程，通过多案例研究梳理企业大学的里程碑事件，对企业大学的知识活动类型进行理论提炼并总结相应能力支撑体系。结果发现：①企业大学模式类型并不绝对而是多元的，随着企业大学知识活动的不断丰富和延伸，逐渐演化为不同模式类型;②知识转移活动并非是企业大学唯一的知识活动路径，不宜忽视企业大学知识活动的全息性特征;③企业大学为了更好地履行职能，还应树立支撑能力组合观念，尤其应该按照企业大学知识活动特性和规律构建相应关键能力支撑体系。     

基于重大科技基础设施建设迈向一流大学的路径分析——复杂产品系统动态能力演化视角

科技强国和创新型国家建设越来越依赖于重大科技基础设施的支撑能力。当前我国高校承担重大科技基础设施任务大多处于在建阶段，符合高校特点的能力建设模式尚在探索中。通过对2007-2020年脉冲强磁场重大科技基础设施发展的纵向案例研究，建立复杂产品系统（CoPS）的动态能力演化分析框架，从技术能力和组织能力分析高校承担重大科技基础设施动态能力搜索—获取—转型的演化过程。研究发现，高校通过建立新型“举校”体制，发展自组织网络调动校内外组织和技术互补性资源，能够有效构建高校的复杂组织和技术能力，统筹提升科研成效、学生质量和教师质量，实现面向服务国家战略目标的转型，从而获得一流大学的持续竞争优势。
