The new leader's guide to diagnosing the business

Incoming CEOs and general managers don't have much time to show what they can do to improve a business's performance. (In 2006, for instance, about 40% of CEOs who left their jobs had lasted an average of just 1.8 years--and many of them were ushered out the door.) Within a few years at most, leaders must find ways to boost profitability, increase market share, overtake a competitor--whatever the key tasks may be. But they can't map out specific objectives and initiatives until they have accurately assessed their companies' distinctive strengths and weaknesses and the particular threats and opportunities they face. In this article, Bain consultants Gottfredson, Schaubert, and Saenz provide a diagnostic template to help organizations figure all that out so they can decide which goals are reasonable and where to focus performance-improvement efforts. The template is built on four widely accepted principles. First, costs and prices almost always decline; second, your competitive position determines your options; third, customers and profit pools don't stand still; and fourth, simplicity gets results. Along with each principle, the authors offer diagnostic questions and analytic tools. Of course, each manager will emphasize certain elements of the template and de-emphasize others, based on his or her business situation. This process will show incoming CEOs and general managers where they are starting from (their point of departure) and help them establish their performance objectives (their point of arrival) as well as the change initiatives that will take them where they want to go.     

国库新业务的有效监管

财政国库管理制度、非税收入征缴及政府收支分类改革的逐步深入为国库会计管理和核算内容赋予了新的内涵。国库新业务的发展,加大了防范国库会计业务风险和国库资金风险的难度。加强国库监管是有效防范和化解国库资金风险的主要手段之一,因此国库监管的有效性显得甚为重要。本文结合国库新业务实际,就如何进行有效监管进行了较为深入的探讨,并提出了相关建议。

Venture capital and new business creation

Using a comprehensive database of firms from 21 European countries over the period 1998–2008, we find that venture capital investment has a positive effect on the rate of new business creation. This is especially true in countries with higher entry costs, higher protection of intellectual property rights, and lower taxes on capital gains. Our results suggest that, controlling for country and industry characteristics, venture capital is beneficial to bringing new ideas to the marketplace in the shape of new companies.     

Bank consolidation and new business formation

As the trend of bank consolidation activities continues to grow in the US and globally, the debate on the impact of such consolidation on small business credits and activities are still inconclusive. Building on the existing research [Berger, A.N., Saunders, A., Scalise, J.M., Udell, G.F., 1998. The effects of bank mergers and acquisitions on small business lending. Journal of Financial Economics 50, 187–229]; [Black, S.E., Strahan, P.E., 2002. Entrepreneurship and bank credit availability. Journal of Finance LVII (6), 2807–2833], this paper investigates the effects of the actual intensity of bank consolidation on the formation of new businesses in the US local markets. Evidence portrays that in the short-run, the overall intensity of bank consolidation is negatively related to the rate of new business formation, and this negative relationship is primarily driven by consolidations initiated by large acquirers. On the contrary, consolidations between small-to-medium sized banks show a positive impact on new business development and these results are consistent even when the M&As are distinguished with respect to in-market or out-of-market acquirers initiating the deals. However, two years after the consolidations, the evidence reveals a positive and significant impact on the rate of new business formation in the local markets for consolidations initiated by large in-market acquirers.     

技术和业务整合的新高度

新型商业银行业务处理系统

随着我国经济的飞速发展和世界经济的相互融合,企业及个人间的资金往来需要一个安全高效的资金划拨、支付结算手段及环境,银行也需要一个完善的信息管理系统。限于当时的计算机技术和网络应用水平,国内银行在20世纪90年代初期建立的银行业务处理系统,大多采用业务独立、分布处理的应用模式。虽然这种系统解决了手工操作和处理效率的问题,但各系统之间很难实现信息的共享,并且计算机系统只是简单的模拟手工劳动,没有充分利用计算机自身的特点和先进的功能发挥其应有的潜能。银行主要业务一般可以分为对公和对私两大部分,前者的服务对象是面向…     

Future space. A new blueprint for business architecture

Although the Internet is an essential conduit for many business activities, it isn't rendering the physical world any less important, as the failures of many Web merchants demonstrate. People need social and sensual contact. The companies that succeed will be those best able to integrate the physical and the virtual. But that requires a new kind of business architecture--a new approach to designing stores, offices, factories, and other spaces where business is conducted. The author, a faculty member at Harvard Graduate School of Design, provides practical guidelines to help managers and entrepreneurs think creatively about the structures in which their businesses operate. He outlines four challenges facing designers of such "convergent" structures, so-called because they function in both physical and virtual space: matching form to function, allowing visitors to visualize the presence of others, personalizing spaces, and choreographing connectivity. Using numerous examples, from a fashion retailer that wants to sell in stores as well as through a Web site to a radically new kind of consulate, the author shows how businesses can meet each challenge. For instance, allowing customers to visualize the presence of others means that visitors to a Web site should be given a sense of other site visitors. Personalizing physical and virtual spaces involves using databases to enable those spaces to adapt quickly to user preferences. The success of companies attempting to merge on-line and traditional operations will depend on many factors. But without a well-designed convergent architecture, no company will fully reap the synergies of physical space and Internet technology.

Comparing New Keynesian models of the business cycle: A Bayesian approach

The baseline New Keynesian model cannot replicate the observed persistence in inflation, output, and real wages for sensible parameter values. As a result, several extensions have been suggested to improve its fit to the data. We use a Bayesian approach to estimate and compare the baseline sticky price model of Calvo's [1983. Staggered prices in a utility maximizing framework. Journal of Monetary Economics 12, 383-398.] and three extensions. Our empirical results are as follows. First, we find that adding price indexation improves the fit of Calvo's [1983. Staggered prices in a utility maximizing framework. Journal of Monetary Economics 12, 383-398.] model. Second, models with both staggered price and wage setting dominate models with only price rigidities. Third, introducing wage indexation does not significantly improve the fit. Fourth, all model estimates suggest a high degree of price stickiness. Fifth, the estimates of labor supply elasticity are higher in models with both staggered price and wage contracts. Finally, the estimated inflation parameters of the Taylor rule are stable across models.     

商业银行新型业务发展的特点与前景

现代信息技术在银行业务中有着十分广泛的应用范围。借助信息技术，银行除了可为社会提供传统的存、贷、汇等柜台服务之外，还可提供其他一些形式的金融服务。信息技术的发展促进了经营模式和服务模式的转型，有利于提升银行核心竞争力和服务优质客户，还可节约成本和增加效益。事实上，我国商业银行在基本实现存、贷、汇等传统业务的信息化后，已不再满足于为社会提供传统服务。

会计师事务所业务拓展的现状与对策研究

考察中国注册会计师发展历程,我们发现目前注册会计师正处于大发展时期,但审计市场尚存在压价竞争、业务回扣等过度竞争现象,似乎暗示着中国注册会计师太多了.我们从会计师事务所现有业务发展的特征、业务拓展中遇到的障碍和如何拓展业务三个方面进行问卷调查,问卷调查研究结果表明,审计市场的过度竞争是结构问题和市场无序竞争所导致的,拟解决这个问题,我们倡导会计师事务实施业务差异化发展战略,以业务差异化凝聚事务所的核心竞争力,以核心竞争力为会计师事务所提供竞争优势,做精做强、做大做强,甚至走向国际化,进而为会计师事务所拓展更广阔的发展空间,提供更加多样化的业务机会.

Mixing family with business: A study of Thai business groups and the families behind them

How does the structure of the families behind business groups affect the group's organization, governance, and performance? We construct a unique dataset of family trees and business groups for 93 of the largest business families in Thailand. We find a strong positive association between family size and family involvement in the ownership and control of the family businesses. The founders’ sons play a central role in both ownership and board membership, especially when the founder of the group is dead. Greater involvement by sons is also associated with lower firm-level performance, especially when the founder is dead. One hypothesis that emerges from our analysis is that part of the decay of family-run groups over time is due to the dilution of ownership and control across a set of equally powerful descendants of the founder, which creates a “race to the bottom” in tunneling resources out of the group firms.
