Cross‐Functional Integration: Concept Clarification and Scale Development

The centrality of cross‐functional integration (CFI) to supply chain theory and practice has long been recognized. Yet researchers continue to struggle with consistently defining or measuring the CFI construct, thus limiting the utility of CFI research. This research develops (1) a comprehensive definition of CFI that synthesizes previous supply chain research and (2) a valid set of scale items that measure the conceptual domain outlined by this definition. The goal is to build a common foundation for extending knowledge on CFI's antecedents and consequences, and ultimately to improve scholars’ ability to guide a broader practitioner community still struggling to achieve integration in their organizations.     

The approximation capabilities of the minflex-Laurents,translog, and generalized Leontief forms

This paper compares the approximation capabilities of the minflex-Laurents translog and minflex generalized Leontief cost functions with their translog and generalized Leontief counterparts in Monte Carlo experiments. The minflex Laurent specifications generally provided closer approximations to underlying technical and economic parameters. Imposition of nonlinear restrictions on some of the parameters of the minflex Laurent models yielded measurable improvement in estimated elasticities of substitutions, returns to scale, and rates of technical change.The refereeing process of this paper was handled through E. Appelbaum.     

Does price reflect emotional,structural or performance quality?

Three denim jeans products from the same manufacturer with differentiated pricing and labels (antiqued, sandblasted, and stonewashed) were used to determine the relationship between price and quality. Both qualitative and quantitative procedures were used to analyse the garments. All three jeans were made of twill weave with 3 × 1 repeat. Both structural and performance characteristics were compared using standardized tests. Analysis of variance was used to compare the selected structural and performance characteristics among the three jeans products. Tukey’s HSD tests were used for post hoc multiple comparisons for three jeans. The findings revealed that despite the fact that all three jeans products were from the same store, and that the fabrics used the same weave, degree and direction of twist, the jeans differed significantly for several structural and performance characteristics. Several possibilities for future research were explored.     

基于金融功能范式的社会主义新农村金融体系建构研究

农村金融体系建构和改革是社会主义新农村建设的重要内容和重要保障。实践证明,以往以机构范式为指导的农村金融改革忽略了对农村金融体系功能的关注,往往是以牺牲效率或违背市场发展方向为代价的。与社会主义新农村建设相适应的农村金融体系建构和改革,以社会主义新农村的需求为依据,明确了农村金融体系的功能定位,并在此基础上确定了农村金融体系的机构构成和各自的职能分工,以期为我国深化农村金融改革提供新的思路和有效的路径。     

金融发展理论中“金融发展”涵义的演进

戈德史密斯（1969）和爱德华·肖（1973）分别对发达国家和落后国家的金融发展状况进行了实证研究，得出了落后国家经济之所以落后，主要是因为其金融发展与发达国家之间存在着明显的差异的结论，由此提出了金融深化的观点，标志着金融发展理论的形成。在金融发展理论的指导下，许多落后国家纷纷改革其金融体制，推行金融自由化，以促进其金融发展。然而20世纪90年代以后，全球金融危机的频繁爆发，引起了人们对金融发展理论的反思。金融发展理论的再度兴起，使金融发展的涵义不断得到丰富与发展，金融发展涵义从结构观、制度观向功能观和环境观逐步演进。     

功能性监管:我国金融监管模式的最佳选择

在全球金融业混业经营的共同趋势下,我国现行的机构性监管模式面临巨大的挑战。功能性金融监管是基于金融体系基本功能而设计的更具连续性和一致性,并能实施跨产品、跨机构、跨市场协调的监管,因而是金融业混业经营下金融监管模式的最优选择。本文在借鉴国外功能性监管框架基础上,对构建我国功能性金融监管模式进行了探讨。     

生态园林城市规划理论研究

北京市各区县劳动力产业分布比较优势统计分析

北京市各区县劳动力总量分布的产业差别是明显的,其分布是有规律可循的.因此,对于北京市各区县功能区的划分可以站在劳动力产业分布比较优势的角度,采用统计分析的方法,深入分析北京市已经形成的劳动力产业分布规律,从而为城市功能区的划分提供劳动力布局的依据.     

经营城市:功能导向与制度创新

在我国市场化改革日益深入的条件下 ,在全球化浪潮中 ,面对城市化快速发展 ,地区竞争日益激烈的挑战 ,经营城市必须由资金导向转向功能导向 ,以实现城市资源资本在容量、结构、秩序和功能上的最大化与最优化 ,城市建设投入和产出的良性循环以及城市的可持续发展。在此过程中 ,政府必须在经营城市中发挥积极的作用 ,促成市场行为和政府行为的有机结合 ,并积极推进功能导向的城市经营制度创新 ,从而实现城市经营模式的战略转变。
