关于加工贸易的争议性观点

长期以来,我国加工贸易发展经历了一个曲折的过程。因为人们对加工贸易的认识由肯定到否定,到再次肯定,几经反复。由此造成的影响则表现为我国对加工贸易政策的几次大调整。例如调整出台的加工贸易企业设置保证金台帐制度和加工贸易区政策。而政策的摇摆对加工贸易影响极大。回顾一下当年的一些争论观点,根据国内外经贸形势的变化和今后发展大趋势,可能有益于我们把握好今后加工贸易的发展方向和适度规模。     

Teaching Business-Communication Ethics with Controversial Films

Two recent films by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, David Mamet, can provide opportunities for observing student reactions to ethically troublesome situations and for discussing business-communication ethics in the classroom. The key question addressed in this article is whether business-communication courses, for example, those in public relations, can encourage students to make the "metaphoric leap" and apply Mamet's messages to class readings and discussions on ethical problems or challenges. Through showing two films in their entirety and conducting focus groups among upper-level undergraduates, the authors find that there is instructional value in using Mamet's films to discuss ethics in business-related settings.

试析海峡两岸经贸新格局下的合作与争端问题

海峡两岸加入世贸组织后,经贸关系出现两种发展趋势:一种是双方接受世贸组织规则指导,经贸合作步伐加快;另一种是台湾当局假借所谓“贸易外交”扩展其政治空间,给海峡两岸经贸合作造成错综复杂的变因。海峡两岸贸易争端是一个中国内部的两个关税区之间的经贸问题,不可能利用世贸组织的平台来解决,必须从经贸发展的新格局中寻找解决问题的机制。本文认为,利用外部规模经济效应可以决定海峡两岸贸易分工的新格局,认真研究和正确处理影响新格局的异化性变因和一些潜在变因,在协调和咨商基础上建立海峡两岸的贸易争端解决机制,就可以变消极因素为积极因素,促进海峡两岸经贸合作健康地发展。     

A Proposed Response Model for Controversial Advertising

Abstract

A number of advertisers have used the strategy of controversial images (fear, sexual), or promoted their controversial product (alcohol, underwear), in a way to get the audiences' attention and a positive reaction. However, the use of controversial advertising can also potentially offend people and create a negative reaction. This article discusses controversial advertising and proposes a conceptual model of responses to controversial advertising.

Some basic US conditions for a law of the sea treaty

Already in 1972 legislation for the exploration and subsequent exploitation of the resources of the deep ocean bed was first introduced in the USA. However, action was postponed each year in order to give the UN Law of the Sea Conference an opportunity to come forth with an acceptable treaty draft. This attitude changed drastically since the Sixth Session of the Conference in 1977. Professor Feuerlein explains the present US position and its background.     

Consumer laundry practices and satisfaction: pre- and post-phosphate detergent ban

Laundry practices and satisfaction of consumers in soft and hard water areas were compared before and after the state of Virginia initiated a ban on the sale and use of phosphate-built laundry detergents. Respondents to mail questionnaires (184 before: 174 after) generally had high satisfaction with laundry results before and after the ban despite the fact that they did not always follow currently recommended laundry practices. Post-ban, few practices had changed, but more respondents in both water areas tended always or frequently to add extra detergent for heavily soiled items. Thus. during the first 2 or 3 months of the ban little effect on laundry practices and satisfaction was apparent. Education about recommended laundry practices appears beneficial because of the implications for family economic well-being.     

Addressing the Advertising of Controversial Products in China: An Empirical Approach

China is a country that has undertaken a great transformation since the late 1970’s, and among these changes, has seen a massive growth in the advertising industry with the influx of foreign advertisers, and the development of regional and global media, such as satellite television and the Internet. This has resulted in the Chinese people of all ages having a greater opportunity of exposure to different types of advertising, including the advertising of potentially controversial products, which could clash with traditional Chinese values. Using a stakeholder theory approach, this study analyzes the responses of 630 Chinese respondents to discover who is offended by controversial advertisements and determine ways potentially offensive advertising messages can be reduced, thereby assisting marketers in being more socially responsible in their advertising messages.

Introduction to the Special Thematic Symposium on the Ethics of Controversial Online Advertising

The field of marketing and consumer ethics has evolved considerably over the past 20 years, yet research on specific areas of advertising ethics remains limited. This limitation persists despite developments in digital technologies, and the impact they have had on advertising practice generally and online advertising more specifically. Online media are becoming increasingly populated by advertising content, as consumers continuously navigate ever-evolving mediascapes. Thus, there is a need to examine the ethical issues associated with the use of controversial advertising online, as well as consumers’ responses to such ads. This special thematic symposium addresses this literature gap, which is at the intersection of consumer ethics, e-marketing, and controversial advertising. The two papers in the special thematic symposium present new research in this area, along with some initial ethical implications as well as potential for future research.     

外商在华零售投资:新趋势及对若干争议的新解

2008年以来,外商在我国零售业的投资在规模和空间布局等方面呈现出新的特点和动向,引发了业界关于外资迅速扩张是否会造成零售业被外资控制、外资企业是否会抢占内资零售业优势资源等争议性话题,文章分别使用省际面板数据、地区面板数据、业态面板数据,实证分析了外资扩张对内资零售企业的影响。研究表明,整体而言,外商在我国零售业投资的加速扩张,并没有挤占内资零售企业的优势资源,外资零售企业市场份额的扩大并没有对内资零售企业构成明显的就业挤出效应。内资零售企业在面对外资零售企业迅速扩张以及由此带来的竞争压力时,应着力通过跨地区并购、跨行业并购、自愿连锁、内资并购外资等方式壮大自身规模,实现优势资源的重组,发挥规模效应,同时需要反思内资零售业目前联营模式过多、自营模式过少的弊端,通过提高自采比例、培育自有品牌等方式提升核心竞争力。
