组织信息化环境下知识流动对组织创造力的影响

通过解析知识流动和组织信息化环境的内部构成，探究知识溢出/知识扩散、高管支持/ICT应用对组织创造力的差异性影响，以及不同组织信息化环境对知识流动与组织创造力关系的调节作用。利用信息化程度较高的企业数据，使用层级回归分析进行实证检验。结果表明：组织创造力受知识流动的正向影响，知识扩散对其的正向影响更强；组织信息化正向影响组织创造力，相比ICT应用，高管支持对组织创造力的正向影响更强；高管支持在知识溢出/知识扩散与组织创造力之间的正向调节作用显著；ICT应用对知识扩散与组织创造力的强化作用显著强于对知识溢出与组织创造力之间的调节作用。     

Do goodwill impairments affect audit opinions? Evidence from China

There has been a steady growth of goodwill impairments in the Chinese stock market since the adoption of the impairment approach in accounting. The influence of goodwill impairments on a firm’s financial position and profitability give reason to doubt its current and future performance. We examine whether auditors, as a crucial external monitor, identify the information risks of goodwill impairments and express their concerns about financial reporting quality in their audit opinions. Using a sample of firms listed on China’s A-share market from 2007 to 2017, we test the association between goodwill impairments and the type of audit opinion received in the same financial period. Our findings are as follows. First, the probability of receiving a modified opinion increases with the amount of goodwill impairments. Second, the positive association between goodwill impairments and modified audit opinions is driven primarily by earnings management risks. Third, this positive association is more salient when auditors are industry experts and there is no auditor–client mismatch. Fourth, auditors are more sensitive to the amount of goodwill impairments than to their mere existence. Overall, we document that auditors perceive goodwill impairments as a signal of information risks and communicate their concerns to investors to avoid litigation.     

成长冲动与风险对冲:经济政策不确定性如何影响企业海外并购

本文扎根于中国转型经济背景,提出了在经济政策不确定性影响下企业海外并购的两大动因,即成长冲动和风险对冲.同时认为:经济政策不确定性使得企业内生有机成长方式、外在本土并购扩张方式受到了阻碍;企业面临着因融资成本、非经营性成本增加带来的风险;此时,海外并购便成为企业的最佳策略.本文以2008-2018年中国沪深两市A股上市公司为样本,实证检验了上述影响机制.研究结果显示:经济政策不确定性较高时,在成长冲动和风险对冲的驱动下,企业倾向于使用海外并购来替代本土并购,且这种替代作用在非国有企业中更为明显.机制检验表明:成长冲动强烈、融资成本和非经营性成本较高、风险承担能力弱的企业更倾向于采取海外并购策略,以规避经济政策不确定性的影响.     

失败学习对企业绩效的影响机制研究

已有文献认为失败学习对企业绩效具有重要作用，但失败学习通过何种途径促进企业绩效提升的研究并不完善。基于失败学习理论，引入资源拼凑和机会识别作为中介变量，构建失败学习影响企业绩效的多路径模型，探索失败学习对企业绩效的驱动路径及内在机理。实证结果表明：失败学习对企业绩效具有显著积极作用，资源拼凑和机会识别分别在失败学习与企业绩效之间起中介作用，资源拼凑和机会识别在失败学习对企业绩效驱动过程中存在链式中介作用，战略柔性能够强化资源拼凑与企业绩效之间的关系，并正向调节资源拼凑的中介作用。研究结论拓展了失败学习对企业绩效的影响路径，对企业复苏和成长具有重要启示。     

Noise traders,firm-specific uncertainty and technical trading effectiveness

This is the first study to document evidence of technical trading effectiveness at firm level in the Chinese A-share market by investigating the relationship between excess profits of technical trading rules and firm-specific characteristics. Our results reveal that firms with higher excess profits from technical trading have more noise traders and higher institutional ownership and that those firms tend to be growth firms with lower liquidity and higher firm-specific uncertainty. Further analysis shows that the profitability of technical trading rules is unsustainable and the excess profits of the highest technical trading profit quintile portfolio disappear in the following year.     

The major determinants of logistic performance in a global perspective: evidence from panel data analysis

The global logistics industry has grown significantly and logistics has become an important sector of the business economic system and a major global economic activity in recent years. Logistics activities accelerate economic and productivity growth. Efficient logistics is also important to a country’s competitiveness and source of employment. The purpose of this paper is to uncover and understand the major determinants of logistics performance (LP) to further lift the LP of countries. Using unbalanced panel data of 93 selected countries from 2007 to 2014, the present research attempts to critically investigate the major determinants of LP. In estimating the model, this study prefers to use static panel data approach owing to limited data. The findings of the present study reveal that (a) countries with low level of corruption and stable political environment are likely to yield a high level of LP; (b) improvement in resources supply such as infrastructure, technology, labour, and education also have a significant positive effect on LP. Therefore, institutional reforms and upgrading resources will effectively accelerate LP.     

The impacts of governance and institutions on inbound tourism demand: evidence from a dynamic panel data study

This study explores the impact of governance and institutions on inbound tourism demand in Malaysia using a dynamic panel data approach for 45 tourism source countries over the period 2005–2015. The results show that institutions play a very important role in explaining the behaviour of inbound tourism demand. To obtain a better picture, we investigate the response of international tourists to disaggregated institutional quality. We find that international tourists are more concerned about political stability, governmental effectiveness, regulations, laws, and corruption than voice and accountability. Therefore, policymakers should focus on ways to improve institutional quality to significantly increase international tourist arrivals.     

Complex Network of Aviation E-Services in the Belt and Road Initiative: A Heuristic Study of Small Data based on Block Modeling

ABSTRACT

The aviation e-service system is an important part of support for business communication in regions covered by Belt and Road initiative. In exploring the role of airline companies in this system, we examine the structure of the network, which consists of airlines interconnections based on small data of individual attributes of aviation companies in aviation e-services, and study these interconnections across different groups using block modeling. The heuristic solution of airline companies in development of international communication and cooperation is further discussed. Among our policy implications for global managers, we suggest the enhancement of cross-regional cooperation among airlines.     

乡村旅游核心利益相关者协调发展评价研究——以青海省海东市互助土族自治县小庄村为例

文章基于利益相关者理论的视角，选取青海省海东市互助县小庄村为案例地，通过田野调查和文献梳理分析出核心利益相关者的利益诉求和矛盾冲突，并构建乡村旅游核心利益相关者协调发展评价体系，采用EWM-Fuzzy综合评价模型和灰色关联模型对地方政府、旅游企业、社区居民及外来游客四类核心利益相关者利益诉求的紧急程度、利益关系协调发展状态及整体协调发展关系进行测评分析。研究表明，小庄村四类核心利益相关者对不同利益诉求的整体感知较好，不同利益诉求的紧急程度和协调发展状态均存在如下较大差异:四类核心利益相关者的利益诉求主要处于中度协调和轻度协调两种发展状态，优质协调发展状态的利益诉求表现相对较少，且存在濒临失调发展状态的利益诉求表现；小庄村旅游核心利益相关者相互间的协调发展关系呈现出多元化的发展状态，地方政府、旅游企业同其他利益相关者的利益关系协调发展的影响大小顺序完全一致，地方政府、社区居民同其他利益相关者的利益关系协调发展的影响大小顺序相对应，而外来游客、社区居民同其他利益相关者的利益关系协调发展的影响大小顺序基本相反；小庄村旅游核心利益相关者协调发展路径组合未达到纳什均衡状态，其协调发展模式为非对称互惠协调发展模式。上述验证结果与小庄村旅游发展的实际情况基本吻合，证明了评价体系的科学性。
