HAZARDS IN IMPLEMENTING A MONETARY CONDITIONS INDEX

Some recent studies have suggested constructing a Monetary Conditions Index (or MCI) to serve as an indicator of monetary policy stance. The central banks of Canada, Sweden and Norway all construct an MCI and (to varying degrees) use it in conducting monetary policy. Empirically, an MCI is calculated as the weighted sum of changes in a short-term interest rate and the exchange rate relative to values in a baseline year. The weights aim to reflect these variables’ effects on longer-term focuses of policy — economic activity and inflation. This paper derives analytical and empirical properties of MCIs in an attempt to ascertain their usefulness in monetary policy. An MCI assumes an underlying model relating economic activity and inflation to the variables in the MCI. Several issues arise for that model, including its empirical constancy, cointegration, exogeneity, dynamics and potential omitted variables. Because of its structure, the model is unlikely to be constant or to have strongly exogenous variables, yet constancy and exogeneity are critical for the usefulness of an MCI. Empirical analyses of Canadian, Swedish and Norwegian MCIs confirm such difficulties. Thus, the value of an MCI for conduct of economic policy is in doubt.

让供应链管理摆脱“长鞭效应”

20世纪80年代以前,企业的竞争优势在于大规模生产以减少成本,管理的重点在于集权和控制;到了80 年代,整个企业转变为“消费者导向”,提供多样化的产品供顾客选择,管理方式渐趋分散;90 年代以来,在科技不断创新、竞争压力与日俱增的推波助澜之下,企业优势在于“弹性”、“快速回应”和“整体资源的有效利用”,而高度竞争,更使得外部环境不确定性增强,企业必须面对与以往不同的挑战。在目前这样一个高速运转“客户至上”理念的时代里,企业不只强调产能、成本及品质,同时也要考虑到时间及服务,企业领导人均需考虑如何在竞争日益激烈同时,科技进…     

THE BUS INDUSTRY IN DANGER

After seeking to placate the local government lobby while retaining the benefits of private enterprise, the Labour government's policy for bus services is slipping into a dangerous compromise which will neglect the market while seizing assets from commercial operators. Behind this lies a policy leading to the return of bus services to public ownership.     

进入黄金时代的忧患：中国管理咨询业述评

中国的管理咨询到了什么阶段 ——无序与规范不管外界是怎么看的,伴随着中国企业的成长,中国的管理咨询业正在迅速地走向它的黄金时代,任何一个打算从事这个行业以及打算在这个行业长期做下去的职业人士都应该对此深信不疑。这倒不是什么白日梦式的自我陶醉,而是下列几个趋势让我们很轻松地得出这个结论:一是民营企业数量增加导致咨询业市场规模的不断扩大。企业的数量和质量是管理咨询业的基础,中国民营企业的数量以每年25%的速度增加,从而使得咨询业的市场基础自然地得到扩充。据估计,2003年全国的管理咨询业市场规模大…     

“问题富豪”如何凸现中国银行业信贷管理缺陷？

IN SEARCH OF EXCELLENT MANAGEMENT

Despite important advances in recent years, no agreement exists concerning what constitutes management excellence. Specific knowledge of how managerial behaviour is perceived and evaluated by others will help to resolve unsettled questions about what is meant by management excellence and improve the actual decisions of managers. This article examines the determinants of managerial excellence as perceived by corporate CEOs, directors, and financial analysts in Fortune magazine's annual survey of the best-managed American firms in 33 industries. While the firms perceived to be best managed are more profitable and less risky, and grow faster and reward their stockholders more than less well-managed firms, these variables explain only about 30 per cent of the variance in management ratings. the firms perceived to be best managed have more involvement in international markets and research and development, while large firm size and firm diversification reflect negatively upon perceived managerial quality. the relative inability of conventional financial measures of firm performance to explain perceptions of managerial excellence underlines the complex nature both of these perceptions and strategic behaviour. the results support Varadarajan and Ramanujam's conclusion that excellent management depends upon a diverse set of competencies and values, as well as Chakravarthy's contention that the most important characteristic of firm performance is management's ability to transform the firm and adapt to a rapidly changing environment. By contrast, little support is found for the maximization of stockholder wealth criterion of Rappaport.
