浅谈领导与秘书的相互影响

现代社会中,领导与秘书之间最容易产生行为、观念上的相互影响。领导对秘书的影响主要体现在权力性影响、非权力性影响这两方面。秘书的学识修养、人格魅力从出谋划策或撰写文稿中表达,潜移默化地向领导渗透从而影响领导。领导和秘书职业身份和工作地位不同,但又相互关联。两者在行为、观念上相互影响,相互制约,形成对立统一关系中相互依存的一对关系。

领导魅力：企业领导者一门必修课

领导工作是一门独特的领导艺术。支撑一位领导成功的要素,除了权力之外,还有重要的非权力要素——领导魅力。因此,在现代企业中,一个企业经营者要成为真正意义上的企业领导,必须在运用职位权力的同时,充分重视领导魅力的塑造和培养。一领导魅力主要表现为:自信,有远见,清楚表达目标的能力,对目标的坚定信念,不循规蹈矩的行为,环境敏感性,作为变革的代言人出现。由于有以上特性的存在,领导者更容易得到下属的敬仰和拥戴,从而对组     

我国政府行政成本控制对策探析

针对我国政府行政成本居高不下的原因,本文提出了相应的对策:树立效益观念、强化成本意识,科学界定职能、控制政府规模,建立科学决策机制、提高领导决策水平,完善监督制约机制,落实内外部监督权力等。     

领导者的非权力性影响力

美国管理学家亨利·艾伯斯说:"领导没有影响力,一个组织不论是学校、企业、军队、还是国家就不能生存。"而构成领导者权威的诸因素中,非权力性影响力越来越成为主要的因素。非权力性影响力来自于领导者的自身因素,具有内在的号召力,与权力无关。其产生的基础要比强制性影响力广泛得多。它表面上虽无合法权力那种明显的约束力,但实际上,它不仅确实具有权力的性质,而且常常能发挥权力影响力所不能发挥的约束作用。     

我国高校财务管理体制的现状及完善对策

目前,从整体上来看,我国高校财务管理体制分为"统一领导、集中管理"和"统一领导、分级管理"两种类型。而高校设置总会计师这一专业岗位也已成为我国高校财务管理体制改革的重要工作。然而,不完善的领导体制、不科学的运行机制以及不重视财务人员队伍建设,是我国高校财务管理体制的主要弊端,因此完善我国高校财务管理体制刻不容缓。

浅论校务公开与学校政治文明建设

本文从政治文明的角度,说明校务公开不仅是学校领导自觉接受群众监督的形式,还是人民群众的政治权利.而要使职工行使政治权力,真正实现人民当家作主和依法治校,达到物质文明、政治文明和精神文明的协调发展,必须加强党的领导,认真实践"三个代表","立党为公、执政为民".     

Reconfiguration of the conceptual landscape: a tribute to the service logic of Richard Normann

This article is a tribute to the late Richard Normann, whose call for a “service logic” (Normann, Reframing Business: When the Map Changes the Landscape, Wiley, Chichester, p. 99, 2001) both parallels and enriches service-dominant (S-D) logic (Vargo and Lusch, J. Mark, 68:1–17, 2004a). Like Vargo and Lusch, Normann shifted the focus of the offering from an output to a process of value creation and perceived the firm as an organizer of this process, with the customer as a co-producer, rather than a receiver of value. He also argued that offerings are “frozen knowledge,” similar to Vargo and Lusch’s contention that the basis of exchange is applied operant resources (service) and suggested that the ‘dematerialization’ of resources increases their ‘liquidity’, which allows increased “density” for value creation. Thus, he suggested that firms need to “reframe business”—rethink the logic of value creation—to reveal opportunities in reconfiguring the value constellations of which they are part. This tribute explores these and other similarities and differences between Normann’s work and the evolving S-D logic.     

Technology use on the front line: how information technology enhances individual performance

This study explores and tests a new model that links different types of technology usage to individual-level outcomes. The primary objective of this study is to examine the effects of efficient use (routinization) and effective use (infusion) along with the traditional measure of usage—namely, frequency of use—on two dimensions of individual-level outcomes: information technology-enabled administrative performance and information technology-enabled salesperson performance. To maintain consistency with the existing literature, the authors examine the effects of predeployment attitude toward or acceptance of technology and pre-deployment intended use of technology. The authors discuss managerial implications and provide directions for future research.

The effects of perceived scarcity on consumers’ processing of price information

This research examines how perceived scarcity influences consumers’ processing of price information. To explain the effects of scarcity, a conceptual framework which incorporates both the motivational and the interference effects of scarcity on information processing is developed. The results from two studies show that under scarcity, consumers’ perceptions of quality and monetary sacrifice exhibit different response patterns, depending on the relative price level and consumers’ motivation to process information. We provide insights into how these perceptions of quality and sacrifice are integrated to form perceptions of value. Additional analyses of thought measures provided further understanding of the underlying processes that influenced the evaluation of price information under scarcity.

Market-based capabilities and financial performance of firms: insights into marketing’s contribution to firm value

While there is recognition that market-based capabilities contribute to a firm’s financial performance, the exposition is largely conceptual (Srivastava et al. Journal of Marketing 62:2–18, 1998; Journal of Marketing 63:168–179, 1999). Using a resource based view of the firm, the present study proposes that (1) market-based assets and capabilities of a firm impacts (2) performance in three market-facing business processes (new product development, supply-chain and customer management), which in turn, influence (3) the firm’s financial performance. It develops related hypotheses and tests the framework empirically. The study also examines for the first time the interrelationship among the three business processes and their impact on the market value of firms. Further, the study examines the moderating influence of two organizational variables—size and age of the firm. Overall, the major contribution of the study is that it offers a process linkage between capabilities, process performance and financial performance. The results of this research will provide strategic insights to managers on optimal customer management, product development and supply chain strategies.

Capabilities and financial performance: the moderating effect of strategic type

The Miles–Snow (M–S) strategic typology has continued to receive attention in the academic business press, even though it has been criticized for not making explicit the relationships between strategic type and ultimate profit performance. Using the market orientation and Resource-Based View literature, we develop hypotheses regarding relationships between M–S strategic type and four firm capabilities (technology, information technology, market-linking, and marketing capabilities), relationship between the four capabilities and performance, and the moderating role of M–S strategic type. An empirical test involves multiple data collections from 216 firms. The study results suggest that there are significant relationships between capabilities and performance if one does not account for the moderating role of strategic type. When strategic type is used as a moderating variable, we find that only certain capabilities had significant effects on profitability. For example, technology and information technology capabilities increase financial performance for prospector organizations, while a different set of capabilities (market-linking and marketing) are positively related to financial performance for defender organizations. We discuss how our findings are consistent with the expectations of the Resource-Based View of the firm. We conclude with a discussion of theoretical and managerial implications.

Gadget lovers

Marketers in firms that routinely produce high-tech innovations want rapid adoption of their products. Many believe the consumer segment that is targeted initially should consist of people who adopt innovative technology relatively early and are influential sources of information that others use as references for their own behavior. A set of adopters who might meet these requirements, but have not been the focus of prior scholarly research, are gadget lovers. This article provides insights into this segment, proposes a scale to measure its key characteristics, and reports the results of a group interview and four additional studies that support the validity of the scale (n ₁ = 1,655, n ₂ = 789, n ₃ = 1,366, and n ₄ = 188). The gadget lover scale explains adoption-related behaviors beyond the variance accounted for by technological innovativeness and key demographic variables.

Toward a theory of repeat purchase drivers for consumer services

The marketing discipline’s knowledge about the drivers of service customers’ repeat purchase behavior is highly fragmented. This research attempts to overcome that fragmented state of knowledge by making major advances toward a theory of repeat purchase drivers for consumer services. Drawing on means–end theory, the authors develop a hierarchical classification scheme that organizes repeat purchase drivers into an integrative and comprehensive framework. They then identify drivers on the basis of 188 face-to-face laddering interviews in two countries (USA and Germany) and assess the drivers’ importance and interrelations through a national probability sample survey of 618 service customers. In addition to presenting an exhaustive and coherent set of hierarchical repeat-purchase drivers, the authors provide theoretical explanations for how and why drivers relate to one another and to repeat purchase behavior. This research also tests the boundary conditions of the proposed framework by accounting for different service types. In addition to its theoretical contribution, the framework provides companies with specific information about how to manage long-term customer relationships successfully.

Organizational antecedents to and consequences of service business orientations in manufacturing companies

Although various manufacturing companies have developed into total solution providers, no research addresses their service orientations. Building on the literature on organizational service climate, this study explores the organizational parameters and service business orientations that explain relative product sales and service volume of manufacturing companies. Following an exploratory study involving in-depth interviews, the authors conducted an empirical survey of 137 companies in The Netherlands, Belgium, and Denmark. The study assesses the effects of organizational parameters on the implementation of service business orientations and validates the important distinction between services in support of the client’s actions (SSC) and services in the support of the product (SSP). The findings demonstrate that services in support of the client’s action leverage relative product sales, while services in support of the product generate service volume. In addition to the main effects, the moderating effects of the organizational parameters are discussed.

Financial market reactions to the overthrow and annexation of the Hawaiian Kingdom: evidence from London, Honolulu and New York

This paper investigates how financial market participants reacted to the US annexation of Hawaii in 1898 as well as prior events like the overthrow of the monarchy in 1893 and US tariff moves affecting Hawaii's sugar industry. The empirical work covers the trading of the Kingdom of Hawaii's major 1886 loan in both London and Honolulu as well as sugar company stock price reactions to annexation. The economic implications of US tariff policy moves, and the unfettered US market access promised by annexation, may well explain the continued uptrend in debt prices after the overthrow.
