集聚效应对中国城市服务业发展差异影响的实证研究

本文从外部经济、知识溢出和社会资本等角度分析了企业集聚、经济集聚状况、城市地理位置与城市服务业发展的关系,并利用分层线性模型(HML)检验了集聚效应对服务业差异的影响。研究结果表明:经济集聚程度对服务业生产效率有显著的正向促进作用,城市区位也对服务业生产效率产生显著影响。东部地区城市比中部或西部地区城市的服务业生产效率高,对服务业发展水平的推动力强;中部和西部具有同质性,二者对服务业效率的影响没有显著差别。

Piracy in China

In a global marketplace, doing business in China is inevitable. Companies that conduct business in China, especially manufacturing and distribution, are particularly sensitive to piracy. It is common knowledge that piracy can be found everywhere in China, and in virtually every industry. This article analyzes Intellectual Property Rights and the business structure in China. Herein, the legal system is evaluated and common problems facing companies operating in China are discussed. We conclude with suggestions for companies currently operating in China, as well as those which plan to enter China in the near future.

Foreign Direct Investment in China

Summary

China has attracted the second largest amount of foreign direct investment in the world each year since 1993. Hundreds of thousands of foreign-invested enterprises are in operation in China. However, what drive the success or cause the failure of foreign investments is still not well understood. This paper critically examines one success factor, i.e., the importance of timing of marketing entry into China. It begins with a brief review of the literature on first-mover advantages and the recent empirical research. It then attempts to theorize on why timing of market entry matters in the context of foreign direct investment. Apart from drawing upon the four recent studies in this area, this paper focuses on the auto industry in China and the case of Volkswagen to illustrate the importance of early entry into an overseas market. It calls for foreign investors to seize the first-wave opportunities when the door is opened a certain sector. It pays in the long run both in terms of the market share position and profitability.

关于中国渐进式改革的总结和反思

中国经济改革是解决传统体制下国有产权安排的高成本问题的必然要求。渐进式改革是学界关于中国改革特性达成的一个共识,而采取此种改革模式却是取决于以下原因：过宽的“制度鸿沟”、高度专用性的“人力资产”以及“制度记忆”的“缺失”。由于“渐进式改革”采取由易到难的改革顺序,以至很多艰难和结构性的问题没有得到解决并遗留下来。在渐进式改革逻辑下,单纯依靠市场自发力量的推动是缺乏效率的。由于政府具有合法强制力．当自发的市场力量导致利益目标分散时,政府能有效地聚合各种价值取向,平衡利益冲突,减少改革成本,使市场化进程顺利推进。中国的渐进式改革路径需要政府主导型制度变迁的模式,但在理论和实践中这种模式也面临着巨大的困境和障碍。     

中国邮政直邮商函媒介发展战略研究

邮政直邮商函业务的经营和发展,需要借鉴传媒业的运作模式和发展理念。本文运用相关传播概念和理论,从媒介经营的角度,重新解读邮政直邮信函的属性,分析了信函传媒独特的广告媒介价值。并且认为：目前,中国邮政直邮传媒还处于粗放式、零散式、区域条块式经营状态,媒介规模优势远未能充分发挥;邮政系统应锐意进取与改革,采取有力的直邮媒介发展战略举措;当前核心工作,应围绕打造“目标明确地接近收件人”这个媒介核心竞争力而开展。     

中国城市化现状与城市可持续发展

Regional differences in consumer preference structures within China

This study examines whether a single marketing strategy is sufficient to cover the Chinese market. Using data from four regions and nine industries, it finds that major regional differences in consumer preferences make regional market segmentation an attractive option. In more developed regions, consumers rely more on perceived quality and public brand image but less on quality expectations. Uyghurs care more about perceived quality and personal recognition but less about quality expectations than Han Chinese. Personal recognition is more important to southern than northern Chinese. Overall, consumer preference structures are influenced more strongly by differences in economic development than subculture.
