Understanding how professional services are purchased is vital to the success of the firms that provide such services. Although recent research has provided some insights into how consumers purchase professional services, little is known about how organisations buy these services. Our study, using data collected from 253 Australian organisations, describes an important part of the organisational buying process, namely pre-purchase information search. More specifically, we examine the influence of a range of information sources on the choice of a management consultant in the following areas: strategic and economic planning; marketing; human resource management; information technology; production planning and logistics. The results show that information sources related to an organisation's internal network (ie, discussions inside the company, and past dealings with a consulting firm) were by far the most influential information sources in choosing a consultant. Further, the least influential sources were impersonal advertising (ie, advertising in the business press, corporate brochures and professional directories). Only minor differences in the influence of the information sources were found across the various types of consulting assignment.(The authors' names are in alphabetical order.) 相似文献

Business groups played an important role in the economic development of East Asian countries. Yet business groups in East
Asia face an uncertain future. Following the Asian Crisis, foreign creditors and investors have demanded that business groups
have more transparent operations and stronger corporate governance. At the same time, as governments in East Asia have loosened
trade barriers, business groups have become subject to intense competition in domestic markets. This paper argues that business
groups can survive or even prosper by taking initiatives in corporate restructuring. This paper also highlights some areas
for further research on business groups in this region.

The influence of firm,industry and network on the corporate social performance of Japanese firms 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
K. C. O’Shaughnessy Eric Gedajlovic Patrick Reinmoeller 《Asia Pacific Journal of Management》2007,24(3):283-303
We develop and test the thesis that corporate social performance (CSP) constitutes a socially constructed and shared strategic asset, which is not only influenced by factors specific to a firm, but also by the social performance of firms
in its industry and inter-corporate network. Using variance decomposition, we analyze data from 130 large Japanese firms and
find that both firm-specific and industry-level factors account for significant variance in CSP, but network-level factors
do not.

Computing and computers are introduced in school as important examples of technology, sometimes as a subject matter of their own, and sometimes they are used as tools for other subjects. All in all, one might even say that learning about computing and computers is part of learning about technology. Lately, many countries have implemented programming in their curricula as a means to address society’s dependence on, and need for programming knowledge and code. Programming is a fairly new school subject without educational traditions and, due to the rapid technological development, in constant change. This means that most programming teachers must decide for themselves what and how to teach. In this study, programming teachers’ teaching is studied. With the aim of exploring the connection/possible gap between teacher’s intentions and the teacher’s instructional practice, an expansion of the conceptual apparatus of phenomenography and variation theory is tested. In the article, phenomenography and variation theory and the suggested supplementary theoretical tool (Georg Henrik von Wright’s model of logic of events) are briefly presented and then deployed upon one selected case. Findings reveal that teachers’ intentions (reflected in their actions) include an emphasis (of teachers’ side) on the importance of balancing theory and practice, using different learning strategies, encouraging learning by trial-and-error and fostering collaboration between students for a deeper understanding of concepts. In conclusion, logic of events interpretations proves to be useful as a complementary tool to the conceptual apparatus of phenomenography. 相似文献

National and corporate culture differences in international strategic alliances: Perceptions of Chinese partners 总被引:3,自引:3,他引:0
We consider the effect of national culture and corporate culture differences on the management of international strategic
alliances (ISAs). Findings are based on the perceptions of a relatively large sample of Chinese partner firms in ISAs with
foreign partners. We find that differences in national culture and corporate culture have contributed to a similar extent
to differing views on ISA management. However, findings indicate that differences in national culture and corporate culture
have a differential impact on aspects of ISA management. Perception of national culture and corporate culture differences
and the contribution of those differences to differing views on the management of ISAs are greater in relatively younger ISAs
compared with older ISAs. Managers in equity-based ISAs report fewer problems with culture related impediments to managing
ISAs than managers in non-equity-based ISAs.

Employee stock ownership and corporate R&D expenditures: evidence from Taiwan's information-technology industry 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This study investigates how employee stock ownership affects corporate R&D expenditures for information-technology firms listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange during 1996–2001. The empirical results indicate a positive association between implementing employee stock ownership and R&D expenditures. The evidence thus supports the argument that employee stock ownership could help alleviate agency conflicts between employees and shareholders, and reduce agency costs, in turn enabling firms to make sizable R&D expenditures.

Change and continuity in Japanese corporate governance 总被引:7,自引:5,他引:2
Previous studies on Japanese corporate governance were largely based on the agency theory framework, and can be seen as attempts
to understand the unique monitoring mechanisms in the Japanese context. This paper briefly reviews prior research and then
discusses the recent changes in the environment that have been affecting Japanese corporate governance. Our central argument
is that there is both change and continuity in Japanese Corporate Governance. We also present emerging research from an institutional
theory perspective. In this line of research, corporate governance is treated as part of a nation’s institutional framework
and hence, researchers need to understand unique institutional arrangements that affect corporate governance practices and
their change or continuity.

The ability of a project's internal rate of return (IRR) to quantify its economic return has been questioned by many scholars over the past 60 years, most recently by Magni (2010, 2013). Although IRR is a plausible—albeit imperfect—measure of a project's economic return when the cash flow stream is conventional, IRR can be an untenable measure of an unconventional project's economic return. The goal of this article is to identify a simple, intuitive explanation of IRR, one that can be applied to any cash flow pattern. To do this, the article shows how a project's IRR systematically changes when it first crosses from the conventional into the unconventional realm (i.e., a small cash outflow is appended to a conventional cash flow stream) and then as it becomes progressively more unconventional. This process reveals that the most robust economic interpretation of IRR—for both conventional and unconventional projects—is that a project's IRRs are external benchmarks that divide the set of all plausible discount rates into positive and negative net present value (NPV) ranges, rather than internally generated returns. Because it can be difficult to estimate a project's cost of capital with precision, this information can help guide the sensitivity analysis of a project. 相似文献

Familial capitalism in global institutional contexts: Implications for corporate governance and entrepreneurship in East Asia 总被引:5,自引:3,他引:2
Lloyd P. Steier 《Asia Pacific Journal of Management》2009,26(3):513-535
Many of the world’s firms have a familial dimension; including some of the most dynamic and emerging markets of East Asia.
However, this important aspect of organizing economic activity remains understudied and misunderstood. A central theme of
this article is that while families matter in economic activity throughout the world, they matter in different ways depending
on the institutional context. To illustrate this theme a varieties of capitalism perspective is used to develop a rudimentary
global comparative framework. Institutional context is portrayed as a key determinant of the degree and type of family governance
that typify national economies. Implications for corporate governance and entrepreneurship in East Asia are discussed.

Commodity price simulation is useful in many engineering economics applications, yet discrete approximations of the continuous stochastic processes used in modeling commodity prices are not always straightforward. This article describes the exact solution for discretely simulating the Schwartz and Smith (2000) two-factor model of commodity prices. 相似文献

Impact of state ownership and control mechanisms on the performance of group affiliated companies in China 总被引:10,自引:8,他引:2
This paper examines the moderating impact of state ownership and group control mechanisms on the relationship between diversification
and performance of companies affiliated with large business groups in China. We find that the state ownership has enhanced
the performance of group affiliated companies when they adopted higher degrees of diversification. We also find that cash
flow rights have a positive impact on the performance of companies with lower degrees of diversification while in general
group control rights have a negative impact on the performance. These results suggest that a group’s control mechanisms, derived
from pyramid ownership structures, enable the dominant owners to expropriate the value from minority shareholders or tunnel
corporate resources for their own interest.

Managerial ties, control and deregulation: An investigation of business groups entering the deregulated banking industry in Taiwan 总被引:9,自引:7,他引:2
Hsi-Mei Chung 《Asia Pacific Journal of Management》2006,23(4):505-520
This study investigates the determinants of business groups’ entry to the deregulated banking industry in Taiwan, from the
perspectives of social capital and agency theory. The principal objective of deregulation is to increase the efficiency of
resource utilization by introducing competition. However, the opportunities inherent in deregulation may induce a battle of
strengths among interested business groups. Based on secondary data analysis, this study reveals that the managerial ties
possessed by key individuals in a business group, and the degree of overlapping investment between the owner-managers, influences
the likelihood of whether or not a business group will decide to enter the deregulated banking industry. The results of this
study provide a valuable starting point from which to discuss the influence of internal and external personal networks on
business strategy during a time of deregulation.

This paper integrates institution-, industry-, and resource-based views of internationalization and demonstrates that industrial
characteristics, firm resources, and institutional factors can significantly explain the differences and similarities of international
expansion of Chinese and Japanese multinational enterprises (MNEs). In particular, this paper maps the growth of Chinese MNEs
since economic reforms in 1978 and that of Japanese MNEs after World War II. We illustrate the similarities and differences
between Chinese and Japanese MNEs with two case studies: foreign direct investment (FDI) of Haier and Matsushita. We suggest
that how firms internationalize, in addition to being influenced by industry- and resource-based considerations, is inherently
shaped by the domestic and international institutional frameworks governing these endeavors.

The impact of state shares on corporate innovation strategy and performance in China 总被引:4,自引:2,他引:2
This paper examines the impact of state shares on corporate innovation strategy and performance in the People’s Republic of
China (PRC). Through an investigation of 541 publicly traded companies in five high-tech industries during the period between
2000 and 2005, we find that the presence of state shares have a positive effect on the corporate choice of a process innovation
strategy over a product innovation one. However, this relationship is moderated by the overall ownership concentration ratio.
Moreover, our findings suggest that companies with large state shares prefer to conduct innovations independently rather than
collaboratively with others, and they usually achieve better innovation performance. These findings indicate that the government
play a role as both an investor and a resource allocation coordinator and therefore complicate the relationship between ownership
structure and corporate innovation activities.

Meta-analyzing ownership concentration and firm performance in Asia: Towards a more fine-grained understanding 总被引:11,自引:11,他引:0
Pursey?P.?M.?A.?R.?Heugens Marc?van?Essen J.? van?Oosterhout 《Asia Pacific Journal of Management》2009,26(3):481-512
We present a meta-analysis of the relationship between concentrated ownership and firm financial performance in Asia. At the
cross-national level of analysis, we find a small but significant positive association between both variables. This finding
suggests that in regions with less than perfect legal protection of minority shareholders, ownership concentration is an efficient
corporate governance strategy. Yet, a focus on this aggregate effect alone conceals the existence of true heterogeneity in
the effect size distribution. We purposefully model this heterogeneity by exploring moderating effects at the levels of owner
identity and national institutions. Regarding owner identity, we find that our focal relationship is stronger for foreign
than for domestic owners, and that pure “market” investors outperform “stable” or “inside” owners whom are multiply tied to
the firm. Regarding institutions, we find that a certain threshold level of institutional development is necessary to make
concentrated ownership an effective corporate governance strategy. Yet we also find that strong legal protection of shareholders
makes ownership concentration inconsequential and therefore redundant. Finally, in jurisdictions where owners can easily extract
private benefits from the corporations they control, the focal relationship becomes weaker, presumably due to minority shareholder
expropriation.
