花园坊的前世今生

二十一世纪,是节能环保的世纪!我国开始注重发展循环经济,建设资源节约、环境友好型社会.上海,作为我国重要的工业基地和最大的经济中心城市,能源紧缺已成为制约其经济社会发展的重要瓶颈.加强节能环保已成为上海全面贯彻落实科学发展观、率先转变经济增长方式、保持经济社会可持续发展、增强城市国际竞争力的重要举措,同时也是建设上海"四个中心"和现代化国际大都市的必然要求.     

物业管理与城市现代化

城市现代化是指在人类社会发展的历史过程中,以现代工业和科学技术进步作为先导,并把它广泛应用于城市建设和发展中,促进城市经济、社会、文化及生活方式等由传统社会向现代社会发展的历史转变过程.物业管理作为新兴的服务行业,产业性质决定了它与城市现代化进程存在必然的内在联系,在提高城市的服务功能和城市的现代化水平,促进城市经济发展现代化方面起着重要的作用.     

新时期的腐败问题透视

腐败既是一个社会现象和政治现象,也是一个法律现象和经济现象.新时期的腐败问题呈现出群体化、高官化、巨额化等特点.腐败问题的存在必然会带来经济损失、毒化社会政治心理、影响社会公平和效率等危害.尽管中国的清廉度处在不断的进步之中,但是与那些清廉国家相比,差距还相当大.党的性质和宗旨决定了决不允许腐败分子在党内有容身之地.     

两淮煤炭城市发展循环经济的实践模式探析

循环经济是一种新的倡导可持续发展的经济发展模式.两淮煤炭城市在长期的发展过程中,采用传统的"高度开采,高度浪费,低度利用"经济发展模式,制约着煤炭城市的可持续发展进程.改变经济增长方式,应从煤炭企业内部、企业之间及煤炭企业和社会之间的三种循环经济模式发展循环经济,就成为两淮煤炭城市探索新型工业化道路的必然选择.     

城市工业化进程中的生态环境影响研究——以地级市为例

城市是人类社会、经济、政治、科学文化发展到一定阶段的产物,是人类聚集的中心。本文论述了我国地级城市工业化发展过程中对城市生态环境所产生破坏的状况,分析了工业化对城市造成环境污染的原因,提出了工业发展与生态环境协调发展的基本策略:即将科学发展观理念贯穿于方针政策和行为的过程中,实现从传统工业化向新型工业化转型,发展循环经济,建设节约型社会;发展过程中要加强政策制度执行的刚性化,保证资金投入并加大治理力度,还要善于学习先进经验。坚持科学发展观,依靠高新科技发展循环经济,建设节约型社会,是和谐社会稳定健康发展的必经之路。     

发展循环经济,建设环境友好型城市——温州模式下的循环经济研究

循环经济作为一种兼顾经济效益与生态效益的经济发展模式,是缓解经济建设与生态环境保护矛盾、实现可持续发展的重要途径.温州作为市场经济的发祥地,已进入建设富裕小康社会、提前基本实现现代化的新阶段.但是,温州在大力发展经济的同时,也对城市的生态环境造成了严重的破坏.能源紧缺、可利用资源匮乏、城市污染严重、城市化水平滞后等问题,都将影响温州市今后经济和社会的可持续发展.因此,发展循环经济,构建环境友好型城市是温州市快速、稳定、健康发展的前提基础.本文对温州市的资源环境现状及温州模式下的经济发展背景进行了分析,提出大力发展循环经济的迫切性及相应的发展循环经济的思路,从而努力打造出经济效益和生态环境和谐发展的新温州模式.     

陈云关于资源环境问题的思想对我们建设两型社会的启示

陈云同志是我国社会主义经济建设的开创者和奠基人之一,他非常重视我国现代化建设进程中的环境资源问题,提出了不少重要的思想观点.这些观点启示我们:在资源节约型、环境友好型社会建设中应该加大宣传力度,倡导低碳生活方式;增加经费投入,大力发展循环经济;改变唯GDP做法,建立科学评价机制.

城市化进程及其环境影响

城市化（Urbanization)是一个社会经济发展的空间变化过程．其内涵极为丰富，既包括了产业结构的调整．人口向城市的聚集和城市在社会经济活动中的地位的提高．也包括了人的生活方式、价值观念向城市型的转变。随着人类社会的发展和经济技术的进步，城市化的进程在逐渐加快。当今城市发展实践已经证明城市化进程是一把“双刃剑”。     

发展循环经济立法中应注意的关键问题

循环经济是建设资源节约型、环境友好型社会和实现可持续发展的重要途径.循环经济模式要求遵循生态学规律,合理利用自然资源和环境容量,在物质不断循环利用的基础上发展经济,使经济系统和谐地纳入到自然生态系统的物质循环的过程中,实现经济活动的生态化.     

Options as a Marketing Tool: Pricing a Promotional Scheme for a Product with a Secondary Market

Adding options to durable products allows new opportunities for manufacturers and retailers in markets with a secondary market to create better segmentation schemes, provide creative means to differentiate their products and services, and increase the value they offer consumers. This raises the need for sellers to properly price such options. This work presents a few examples of incentive programs for the car industry, develops models and calculates their cost to the seller, demonstrating the applicability of the proposed methodology. Our numerical results indicate that such options are surprisingly inexpensive for car manufacturers and dealers. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

营销团队建设“三步曲”

“铁打的保险公司，流水的保险代理人”，保险公司各级主管在这边马不停蹄不遗余力地增员，报纸、网站上的代理人招聘广告铺天盖地满天飞扬，不停地面试，然后不停地办理入职手续。业务员却在那边不间断地流失和“阵亡”，好不容易搭建起来的营销团队，一不留神就没有了，主管们又重新变成“光杆司令”了，只好孤军奋战，还有那些“没走”的，也就是处于名存实亡状态的“睡眠代理人”。新面孔不断出现，“不老的面孔”不断地消失，人员的频繁进出构成保险公司营销部门一道独特的行业风景线。请看——[编者按]     

Congestion in a city with a central bottleneck

We consider dynamic congestion in an urban setting where trip origins are spatially distributed. All travelers must pass through a downtown bottleneck in order to reach their destination in the CBD. Each traveler chooses departure time to maximize general concave scheduling utility. We find that, at equilibrium, travelers sort according to their distance to the destination; the queue is always unimodal regardless of the spatial distribution of trip origins. We construct a welfare maximizing tolling regime, which eliminates congestion. All travelers located beyond a critical distance from the CBD gain from tolling, even when toll revenues are not redistributed, while nearby travelers lose. We discuss our results in the context of acceptability of tolling policies.     

Reevaluating waste as a resource under a circular economy approach from a system perspective: Findings from a case study

The circular economy (CE), definable as a system focused on the reorganization of material, information, and energy flows to achieve greater resource efficiency through the reuse, remanufacturing, and recycling of materials, is a concept widely discussed by practitioners and scientists of many disciplines. Waste recycling is integral to the CE, but there are still few articles focused on waste, and only few studies shed light on CE implementation at the company level. This paper focuses on a particular type of waste, that is, absorbent hygiene products (AHPs), which represents a nonnegligible fraction of municipal solid waste, considered an increasingly serious global challenge. We conducted our analysis on FaterSMART, an Italian firm that developed a unique worldwide technology able to totally convert AHP raw material wastes into recyclable materials, under a CE approach. The case study findings are based upon semi-structured interviews, direct observations, and analysis of FaterSMART's archival documents and are analyzed according to a framework developed for the research and focused on the place of waste from a linear economy, in which waste is considered a burden to CE, in which waste is considered a resource. The latter case is what we found that happens at FaterSMART. FaterSMART's findings could contribute to open up new management scenarios and stimulate further research into how this and similar types of technology will help societies to change from the “use-it-once-and-throw-it away” mentality of linear business models to the sustainable CE model that fully conceptualize waste as a resource for the system.     

Advertising a product to face a competitor entry: a differential game approach

We analyze a market in which advertising is the dominant marketing tool to create market share. We assume that an incumbent firm dominates the market during an initial stage, and that a new competitor is going to enter the market. In particular, we analyze the different advertising policies that the incumbent firm can adopt, before and after the entry of the rival. We explore three possible behaviours. In the first scenario the firm knows that the competitor will arrive at a given instant. In the second one we assume the original firm to be surprised, in the sense that it does not anticipate the entry of the opponent either because it does not expect the competitor to arrive, or it is not prepared to react before the entry takes place. Finally, in the third scenario, the original firm knows that the competitor will enter at a constant rate. We characterize a differential game model and compare the firms’ behaviours in a strategic perspective.     

Between a rock and a hard place: managing diversity in a shareholder society

This study examines whether the appointment of racial/ethnic minorities into top management positions has a different impact on share price than the appointment of Caucasians into equivalent positions. Our dependent variable is the degree of change in share price following the announcement of racial/ethnic minority and Caucasian men into senior management positions. Market reaction to the naming of racial/ethnic minorities into corporate leadership positions is significant and negative, while the market's reaction to the naming of Caucasians is significant and positive. However, the negative market reaction to the appointment of racial/ethnic minorities into top management positions is mitigated in those firms that have explicitly incorporated diversity into their strategic growth plan. Our findings suggest that to successfully introduce diversity into upper management, firm decision makers must first signal the importance of diversity to market actors.     

Simulation of a blood-inventory-bank system in a hospital

A blood-bank inventory system has been analysed viewing it as an inventory-hank system where the demand forecasting forms a part of the inventory model. A simulation model incorporating the “desired-beginning-inventory-level” policy has been used for the analysis of system-performance. Optimal inventory policy-guidelines have been suggested for a hospital blood-bank using blood shortage and blood out-dating as the two important components of the measure of effectiveness. Numerical results have been given.
