Business Process Re-engineering in the Public Sector: a Case Study of the Contributions Agency

There has been a growing literature which, from a social science perspective, seeks to critically assess the use of business process re-engineering (BPR) in effecting radical organisational change. Using a case study of the Contributions Agency, this article reports on the problems of using BPR in a public sector organisation, and discusses the findings in relation to the current critique of BPR.

Managing Knowledge for Innovation: The Case of Business‐to‐Business Services*

The present study builds a typology of organizational knowledge in business services and empirically examines the effects of knowledge on innovation performance. It is suggested that firms differ with respect to their knowledge creation approaches and that these approaches have implications for firms' innovation activities. A conceptual framework of knowledge assets with degrees of tacitness and collectiveness as the principal axes is used to ground the empirical analysis. The organizational knowledge framework is empirically operationalized using survey data from 167 business service firms and supplementary case study evidence from 16 other firms. It is found that business service improvements and new service introductions are significantly associated with collectively held knowledge, such as codified service solutions or team‐based competences and procedures. In contrast, relying solely on tacit knowledge held by individuals may hamper innovation. The results also suggest that tacit collective knowledge is more closely associated with new service introductions, whereas explicit collective knowledge is associated with service improvements. Tacit collective knowledge is thus conducive. A managerial implication is that new service introductions necessitate team competences and routines, whereas incremental service improvements are more likely if procedures are in place to codify services into explicit solutions or technologies. Thus, the knowledge management approach should depend on the strategic orientation of the service firm toward continuous improvement of existing services or development of completely new services.

Business as a Pivotal Actor in the Politics of Training Reform: Insights from the Case of Germany

Often admired by international observers, the German dual training system has come under pressure in recent years because of a persistent lack in training slots for young people. The article addresses the question of how policy makers have reacted to the problems in the training market. Particular attention is paid to the formation of politico‐economic coalitions between state actors, business representatives and unions. On the basis of three case studies of recent reforms (or reform attempts), we identify two types of cross‐class coalitions: a conservative coalition that aims at maintaining the status quo of the firm‐based training regime and a segmentalist coalition promoting the gradual transformation of the system towards a less collective and more firm‐centred variety. In both kinds of politico‐economic coalitions, business actors play a pivotal role. The reason for the privileged position of business in the politics of training reform is, I argue, a politically constructed dependency of the state and unions on the continued co‐operation of business in the provision of training slots. In the conclusion, I discuss the implications of my findings for the debate on the dualization of co‐ordinated market economies.     

Quantitative Methods for Evaluating the Unilateral Effects of Mergers

We describe the quantitative modeling techniques that are used in horizontal merger review for the evaluation of unilateral effects, and discuss how the 2010 Horizontal Merger Guidelines helped legitimize these methods and motivate scholarly research. We cover markets that feature differentiated products pricing, auctions and negotiations, and homogeneous products, in turn. We also develop connections between quantitative modeling and market concentration screens that are based on the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI).

     

油井措施经济效益计算方法研究

针对老油田增产措施投入力度逐年增大，而增产效果变差的矛盾，从措施的投入产出分析入手，对油井措施经济效益计算方法进行研究，提出了单井次措施投入、措施增油量和增液量及增量操作成本、措施效益等的计算方法，进而研究提出了油井措施效益指标体系和效益判别方法，初步建立了一套措施作业费用计算方法。这些方法即涉及了油田的地质开发参数，又考虑了目前的经济技术参数。通过辽河油田的实际资料，进一步证实了这种方法的实用性。

Workplace Characteristics and Working Class Vote for the Old and New Right

This article focuses on the role of plant size for working class vote. We argue that workplace size does matter for political behaviour. Workers in smaller plants are less unionized and therefore base their voting decisions more strongly on their cultural attitudes, which undermine the support for social democratic parties. Using data from the European Social Survey (2002–2010), we find that workers in small plants have more right‐wing attitudes and, consequently, vote for new and old right parties, contrarily to workers in larger plants. Our research points towards important structural explanations of working class support for the right and its cross‐national differences.

IC卡管理信息系统在油品零售中的作用

中国石油黑龙江鸡西销售公司IC卡成品油管理信息系统经过一年的运行，取得了明显成效：使销售公司告别了运行几十年的传统管理模式，进入了数据共享的信息网络时代；减少了油价波动给企业带来的损失；油品调拨做到了合理、科学、集中，降低了费用；强化了财务、业务、储运计量三者相互制约的机制；建立油库损耗管理体系，实现了定时盘点；提高了工作效率，促进了对员工的业绩考核和员工素质的提高；极大地方便了用户；可对加油站的经济活动情况随时进行分析。但该项目也存在一些不足有待改进，例如与“中油财务管理信息系统”、“增值税征收系统”、“中油购销存管理信息系统”的接口不合，应增加报表生成器并统一操作键盘格式等。从总体上看，这一项目的成功的石油销售系统的信息化建设积累了宝贵经验。

我国经济周期阶段性划分与经济增长走势分析

本文基于门限自回归模型方法对我国1990年1季度至2007年3季度经济增长率进行研究．识别和检验我国经济周期呈现的基本特征,并对我国经济增长走势进行分析．研究发现：三区制门限自回归模型适合于描述我国经济周期波动,进而刻画了我国经济增长呈现出的低速增长-适速增长-高速增长-适速增长-低速增长周期规律;经济周期三阶段性可由拐点8．2和9．71进行划分;通过非线性预测,点预测结果表明经济增长率将在未来两年内可能出现持续下降态势,但仍会高于10％的高位上运行,而区间预测结果则显示未来12个季度内我国经济增长率将主要在7％-13％的区间运行。
