Suffering China, Moving China

"Why are my eyes filled with tears? Because I love this land so much..." is from a poem written by Ai Qing, a famous poet in 1930s' China. Whenever I read the news about the May 12 earthquake, I can't help thinking of these words. From May 12 to now, three weeks have past, but the impact felt by China and her people is far greater than the time that has passed.     

When Facing Natural Disasters

China fast experienced a strong earthquake in 1976 in Tang Shan,Hebei Province.At the beginning of this year,severe snow storms struck more than half of China.What impact have these natural disasters left on China,especially the latest earthquake in Sichuan？ Let＇s do a comparison.     

Social Public Care Ahead

China faces toughest alter-quake reconstruction since 1976. in contrast with neighbouring Myanmar＇s lethargic and secretive handling of its cyclone ten days earlier. China responded to the earthquake rapidly and with uncharacteristic openness. Within hours Premier Wen Jiabao was on a plane, and appeared in almost all the strategic places in the earthquake-hit areas in the following days： President Hu Jintao was chairing an emergency meeting of Standing Committee and thousands of soldiers and police were being dispatched. China is moved and moves. For the most impressive time, we read the social care from all works of lives.

Moving and Touching on Ruin

Yes,the earthquake is a desperate disaster to China,but what we could see from this havoc is more than ruin itself.Every story under the name of love touched our hearts and souls.With their moving and touching voices hovering above the seismic zone,let＇s dry our tears and do our best to rebuild the land of abundance...

The potential competition in Moving China

In the past three decades, China＇s reform and opening-up brought great miracle to the world, and now China is facing new challenges such as the downturn of domestic and international economy of 2008. There are a lot of uncertainty factors existing in many industries such as the U.S subprime crises, the domestic stock market slump, the bubble of real estate, and the crisis of confidence for the enterprises production safety, and so on. We＇d better consider that after Olympic Games and the big turn of 2008, how China could keep its developing, how the enterprises especially the small and medium-sized ones could survive, what suggestions the economists shall propose to respond to the challenge.

Transaction Cost Analysis in Marketing: Looking Back, Moving Forward

Contributions to the theory and application of the Williamson's transaction cost framework by scholars in Marketing are reviewed. From its initial appearance in the late 1970s, the Williamsonian approach has moved from a theoretical curiosity to the workhorse model in one subfield of marketing; viz. channels. Possible reasons for this success are traced here. The consistent empirical support for the core model, its applicability to a broad range of managerially relevant problems, its successes in horse races against competing theories, and its co-existence with complementary theories are unpacked. The paper closes with speculation about future trends about transaction cost analysis in marketing.

Nearshoring,reshoring, and insourcing: Moving beyond the total cost of ownership conversation

As firms from across all manufacturing sectors are rethinking their outsourcing and offshoring strategies, there is the potential for a manufacturing renaissance in the U.S. The findings from this case study suggest that the current manufacturing relocation shift is not perceived by manufacturers as a long-term business strategy (as outsourcing has been). As such, the results suggest that manufacturing relocation decisions based exclusively on models such as total cost of ownership (TCO) will not deliver anticipated near-term costs savings. In addition to TCO, firms must have access to information concerning the complexity of the outsourced manufacturer’s manufacturing and supply chain processes in order to fully evaluate the ‘as-is’ outsourced function against ‘to-be’ manufacturing relocation opportunities.

Moving up or moving out? A unified theory of R&D, FDI, and trade

This paper introduces industrial heterogeneity in R&D productivity into the quality-ladder model of the North-South trade to study how firms' choices made between R&D and foreign direct investment (FDI) vary across industries, and how such choices consequently determine the evolution of comparative advantage and trade. It shows that trade reveals product-cycle dynamics in medium-tech industries but remains static in others. High-tech industries experience continued innovation in the North with no migration of product lines. Medium- and low-tech industries migrate South via FDI to exploit low production costs with the South then replacing the North as the dominant exporter. However, medium-tech industry production eventually shifts back to the North when superior products are marketed by Northern innovators, making the end of one complete product cycle and the start of the next. Because of marginal R&D productivity, the relocated low-tech industries are not presented with the option of moving up and thus stagnate.
