Which factors hinder the adoption of open innovation in SMEs?

The literature on open innovation (OI) is characterised by studies based both on large companies and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Among all, one of the less explored issues in SMEs is what impedes them to adopt OI. Thus, this paper has the threefold objective to identify which factors hinder the adoption of OI in SMEs, to investigate if different behaviours exist among SMEs in relation to these factors, and to understand if the same factors effectively influence the level of adoption of OI. Based on a survey on 157 Italian SMEs, we identified four main barriers (namely, ‘knowledge’, ‘collaboration’, ‘organisational’, and ‘financial and strategic’) and three profiles of firms, different in terms of innovativeness of the industries they belong to (knowledge intensive, medium-innovative, and less innovative) and hampering factors perceived (‘knowledge’, ‘financial and strategic’, and ‘collaboration’ and ‘organisational’ barriers). Moreover, we found that some of these factors effectively impede the adoption of the paradigm.

处于后配额时代的中国纺织业

纺织品配额的取消对中国纺织业的发展既是机遇又是挑战,配额取消后,阻碍贸易的因素仍然存在,如美、欧盟的设限及反倾销。此外我国纺织企业本身存在很多不足,如出口现状仍是靠数量和低价取胜,品牌不具国际性等。我国纺织业若能借此良机,改变经营方式,提高品质,最终实现由中国制造向中国品牌的转变,才能自如参与“后配额时代”的全球竞争。     

双元压力对员工情绪劳动的影响

以资源保存理论为基础,探讨双元压力对员工情绪劳动影响的过程机制。采用问卷调查法,对435名企业基层工作人员的双元压力及对情绪的影响进行研究。研究结果显示：挑战性压力对表层行为产生抑制作用,对深层行为产生促进作用;阻碍性压力对表层行为产生促进作用,对深层行为产生抑制作用;情绪倦怠起到显著的中介效应。基于研究结论,提出管理启示和未来展望。     

中小企业慈善责任研究

企业的慈善责任是企业社会责任最高层次的表现形式,企业履行慈善责任的收益大于成本。但是包括企业慈善理念的缺失、企业的经营状况、企业形象、政府行为、企业的生命周期在内的许多因素却制约了企业慈善责任的履行,为此需要在理念、机制和法律制度等方面加强创新与改进。
