PERSPECTIVE: An Analysis of 22 Years of Research in JPIM*

Numerous articles have been published in the Journal of Product Innovation Management (JPIM) since its inception in 1984, representing the most advanced studies dedicated to the management practice in all of the functions involved in the total process of product innovation. It is timely to draw a research profile by investigating the research patterns and development in JPIM to reflect the evolution of the field. First of all, the present study performed a text analysis of 544 research articles published from 1984 to 2005 and then developed a list of research streams. Next, each article was analyzed by coding the following information: the author's background (i.e., academic or professional), the author's country of affiliation, the research topic, the structure of theoretical framework (i.e., analog, composite, or propositional), the type of research design, the quantitative analytical technique, the types of industries, and the countries investigated in the empirical studies. The results indicated that JPIM had made substantial progress in two points. The first is the expanded collaborations of authors, which are not only within the national boundary but also across countries and continents. With such a divergence of research traditions and cultural perspectives, this cooperation offers the potential to enrich the stock of new product development and innovation management theories as well as methodologies more than single‐country arrangement. The second is a high degree of science in respect of methodology. Although JPIM has become a major journal for business research, three opportunities of knowledge advancement were suggested. The first is to reduce the domination of American and European publication and to promote article submission from developing countries. The second concerns the need of relatively broad theoretical schema and diversified research methods. The last opportunity lies in the encouragement of research on certain promising topics.

减员增效下岗分流--准煤公司总经理李东谈深化企业内部改革方略

编者按： 准煤项目的开发建设正好是在我国改革开放, 由计划经济向市场经济转变的历史时期进行的。变革时期政策的交织变化、多种因素的综合作用, 给准煤公司的设计、基建、体制、观念打上了深刻的烙印。它既有很多老煤炭企业所没有的优势, 诸如矿、路、电一体化先进的产业结构, 国外引进的现代化技术装备等, 亦有市场经济观念、效益观念淡薄落后的一面。朱镕基总理１９９３ 年视察准煤公司时一针见血指出： “你们是现代化的技术加人海战术, 若不把人减下来, 必然是投产就面临亏损”。现在这一问题已经以铁的事实摆在了准煤公司新的领导班子面前。就是说准煤公司在基建转入生产后, 如何在目前煤炭、电力市场都处于低谷时期, 在既激烈又无序的市场竞争中, 保证企业能够生存并能蓬勃发展？ 准煤公司的决策层痛定思痛, 开始了大刀阔斧的改革。

如何打造国际竞争力

中国企业如何打造国际竞争力?要素是多方面的。在这里,我们从三个主要方面来探讨。策略面企业竞争的策略必须简单、明确、可行,必须可行动,而且行动之后要有明显的效果。所以,策略绝对不是模仿,模仿就不是策略了。制定策略应注重以下几点;1、集中与选择。现在经济全球化,市场很大,大家都认为企业必须做多元化的经营才会发展。我认为多元化经营就是企业家与经营者最大的陷阱,因为你没有那么多本钱和精力。集中与选择是企业面临的重要问题。什么可以做到世界第一?什么应该放弃或者不该放弃?什么是可以选择作为可以接下去做并能在未来确保成功…

中国城镇化对经济增长的影响机理及其区域差异--基于省际面板数据的实证分析

选取2000～2012年中国31个省份的数据样本,构建城镇化及其与就业、收入差距、投资、贸易等因素的交互项共同影响经济增长的面板数据模型,据此实证分析了中国及各地区城镇化与经济增长的关系以及影响机理.结果表明,中国的城镇化水平与经济增长呈显著正相关关系,城镇化成为保持经济持续健康发展的强大引擎;从作用机理看,城镇化主要通过增加非农就业和外商直接投资促进了经济增长,而城乡居民收入差距的扩大和外贸依存度的提高则抑制了经济增长.城镇化水平对经济增长的影响程度呈现从东部到西部依次提高的梯度分布,东部地区的物质资本投资和人力资本投资对促进经济增长有正向作用,中西部及东北地区第二产业对经济增长的作用十分突出.

How to Increase the Odds for Successful Brand Extension

如何提高油田伴生气的计量准确度

天然气按照油气藏分类可分为：气田气、凝析气田气和油田伴生气。其中油田伴生气是指在油气藏中，烃类以液相和气相两相共存，在开采过程中伴随原油同时被采出的天然气。目前对油田伴生气的计量基本上都是采用标准孔板节流装置配用CWD-430双波纹管差压计来进行计量。如何准确对这种天然气流体进行计量，是目前油田天然气计量中面临的一大难题。着重阐述了提高油田伴生气的计量准确度的措施。     

关于推进纺织品消费的思考

进入21世纪后，中国纺织经济仍然面临着供大于求的问题。近期国家权威性统计报告指出，2001年第一季度我国纺织产品供大于求的矛盾依然突出，衣着消费品零售价格跌势不减。笔者在数十篇文章中，坚持认为我国处在社会主义初级阶段，纺织品生产的供大于求仅是一种结构性过剩的表现。本文在坚持这个观点的前提下，从推进纺织品消费入手研究，提出解决供大求的理性思路。
