民族地区旅游开发的居民满意度测评——以官鹅沟国家森林公园为例

当地居民是旅游活动的重要参与者,民族地区其地理位置特殊,旅游环境系统相对脆弱,且多处于连片特困地区,因此,对民族地区旅游开发的居民满意度进行测评就更具代表性。本文在对国内外相关文献进行总结的基础上,运用结构方程模型,构建了民族地区旅游开发的居民满意度模型,对居民满意度的形成机理和行为结果进行探讨。并且,以官鹅沟国家森林公园为例进行实证研究,提出提升民族地区旅游开发居民满意度的主要举措:民族地方政府的积极引导、提升旅游者的环保素质、深化旅游开发者与经营者的可持续经营理念与培养当地居民的责任心和自豪感。该实例是民族地区旅游开发的居民满意度的一个缩影,对其他民族地区居民满意度的研究具有一定的借鉴意义。     

经济高速发展下中国页岩气发展之路研究

能源是当今世界经济发展、社会和谐所依赖的重要因素之一，作为处在经济高速发展进程中的中国，能源问题更是关乎国计民生的重大问题。我国的能源因其特殊性，有着“富煤、贫油、少气”的结构性矛盾和“国内生产不足、对外依赖程度强”的供需矛盾，给我国经济可持续发展和能源安全带来严重阻碍。本文立足于国外取得页岩气勘探开发巨大成功的事实，结合我国国情，对我国页岩气发展进行了深入研究，提出了促进我国页岩气勘探开发事业发展的八点建议，对实现中国式“页岩气革命”具有积极的参考价值和借鉴意义。     

开发中国页岩气

美国基本实现能源独立的利器——页岩气，有望在西太平洋的中国掀起一场“能源革命”。由于页岩气的商业性开发，美国能源对外依存度已降至20世纪80年代以来最低水平，并于2011年首次超越俄罗斯，成为世界最大的天然气生产国。页岩气革命推动了美国化学工业的高速发展，创造了170万个就业机会。     

美国页岩气的社会责任

美国政府对页岩气的期望颇高,希望其成为美国的未来能源。根据普华永道2011年年末的一份报告,截至2025年,页岩气开发将带来100万个工作岗位。页岩气产业的发展不仅能稳定和降低石油天然气价格,还能带动大量投资,这是美国走出经济困境的一招妙棋。     

页岩气开发项目HSE管理体系的构建

我国是个"富煤、少油、短气"的国家,这就导致长期以来我国能源消费主要以煤炭为主,污染严重。因此,大力发展在化石能源中更为低碳的页岩气,对于中国能源发展战略来说,无疑是一个正确的选择。HSE管理体系作为一种先进的系统化、规范化、程序化的科学管理手段,能促进页岩气的健全发展,并使之成为中国新的稳定能源供给源。本文从戴明的PDCA循环模式的计划、执行、检查和处理四个阶段着手为我国页岩气开发企业的HSE体系建设和运行提供参考。     

熵权-TOPSIS法在海外页岩气资源选区中的应用

页岩气作为一种非常规油气资源未来开发潜力巨大,在加快我国页岩气资源开发的同时应积极进入国际市场,配合国家能源“走出去”战略。本文针对海外页岩气资源区风险评估方法进行研究,首先将海外页岩气资源开发过程中常见的风险划分为五大类,对五大类风险指标采用熵权法计算客观权重,得到客观权重后结合层次分析法对其进行修正,进而得出各指标的综合权重;其次引入基于接近度大小的理想点法（TOPSIS）对海外页岩气资源区进行风险评估;最后选取10个页岩气资源区进行了实证分析。分析结果表明本文所述方法对于页岩气资源选区有良好的应用效果。实际工作中进行风险评估时,石油公司可以在此模型的基础上,根据各自的发展规划进行针对性的分析,适当调整评价指标及取值,结合本文量化分析结果,从而更好的指导风险决策。

Development in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Statistics at the Australian Bureau of Statistics

This paper outlines the ICT statistical developments that the ABS has undertaken over recent years. These developments have been on both the supply side (ICT industry) and the demand side (use of IT by sector). The content of ABS ICT surveys has changed significantly over the last few years and are expected to develop further in line with industry changes and emerging policy needs.
Recent developments in household collections have been the inclusion of IT use questions in the 2001 Census of Population and Housing and in various ABS social surveys such as Children's Participation in Culture and Leisure Activities. Annual business IT use surveys are now conducted and include topics such as Internet commerce and IT security. Biennial ICT industry surveys are conducted to provide data on ICT production, imports and exports, ICT industry employment, performance and structure information. An Internet activity survey is run every six months and provides regional Internet access details and infrastructure details on Internet service providers.
A major development for 2002–03 will be the compilation of an ICT satellite account. ABS intends to produce an ICT Information Development Plan to guide its future statistical development work in the ICT field.     

Value at Risk in the Suburbs: Eminent Domain and the Geographical Politics of the US Foreclosure Crisis

Several US counties and local governments have recently considered a novel solution to the foreclosure crisis. They plan to use eminent domain to compel the owners of mortgage debt—and specifically of private‐label mortgage‐backed securities—to sell the debt to the government at a price reflecting the loan's market value. The government would then restructure the debt and resell it to new investors. The plans are striking because—in contrast to both development‐driven eminent domain and the federal subprime bank bailout—they would force investors to assume asset devaluation and increased long‐term risk. Notably, the plans have emerged as an instance of financialization‐focused politics in suburbs and suburban cities of color, specifically majority‐black and ‐Latino/a suburbs. Local support for the plans, we argue, is rooted in the long‐term disinvestment of these ‘suburbs of exception', which became targets of subprime lending and eventually sites where the ‘financial exception' has been localized. But these demographic shifts, fragmentation and fiscal pressures have at the same time created a suburban political terrain in which the plans have gained their strongest political support.     

Towards a Theory of Serendipity: A Systematic Review and Conceptualization

Serendipity – the notion of making surprising and valuable discoveries – plays a major role in the success of individuals and organizations alike. Previous research has established the importance of serendipity and identified important individual- and organizational-level antecedents. However, the literature has been dispersed and the boundaries of the concept have been blurry, leading to a lack of conceptual clarity and structure, and thus limiting validity and managerial actionability. Based on a systematic literature review, I synthesize existing management-related research on serendipity and explicate the emergence and composition of serendipity in the organizational context. I first identify three necessary conditions that differentiate serendipity from related concepts such as luck or targeted innovation: agency, surprise, and value. Then, I draw from the literature on sensemaking, event-based theorizing, and quantum-based approaches to management to conceptualize the process of cultivating serendipity in the organizational context as a process of enabling potentiality and materialization, and develop a multi-level theory of (cultivating) serendipity. This conceptualization contributes to our collective understanding of how, why, and when (i.e., under what conditions) organizations can leverage the value in the unexpected, which opens up fruitful avenues for further research.     

Accountability of NGOs in Bangladesh A critical overview

NGOs in Bangladesh have been recognized as effective change agents in the socio-economic arena throughout the world. Their contributions in micro credit, non-formal education and primary health care are widely known. NGOs play a significant role in society. NGO accountability, as a result, has become a critical issue. NGO accountability in Bangladesh has been examined here in relation to patrons, clients and themselves. Of the three relationships only accountability to patrons is in a near satisfactory state. Accountability to clients is handicapped by lack of opportunities of beneficiaries to participate meaningfully in NGO policy making. Accountability to themselves is adversely affected due to the adherence to a strictly hierarchical system and the influence of founding and charismatic NGO leaders.     

Towards an Asian model of human resource management? A comparative analysis of China,Japan and South Korea

There has been much discussion regarding the possible decline and weakening of national systems of human resource management (HRM). Yet, culture and institutions are often cited as the major stumbling blocks to this outcome. Such constraints may dissipate in the analysis, particularly if ‘regional clusters’ are considered where geographic and cultural closeness and ‘openness’ to similar economic pressures exist. In such cases, it might be postulated that convergence in HRM will occur. We argue that China, Japan and South Korea represent such a cluster. This article examines these countries, to see if a degree of convergence is taking place and if it is towards an identifiable ‘Asian’ model of HRM. A model of change is presented that distinguishes between levels of occurrence and acceptance. Details of the development and practice of HRM in each country are then set out. The article ends with a discussion and implications section and a brief conclusion.     

Ansätze und Ergebnisse anglo-amerikanischer M&A-Forschung

Based on a review of established U.S. management journals (1995–2003), six schools of thought are identified within the Anglo-American M&;A research: “Capital Market”, “Principal/Agent”, “Industrial Organization”, “Organizational Behavior”, “Human Resources” and “Strategic Management”. The literature review shows that the definition of M&;A success, the methods applied, and insights from empirical research differ according to the respective school of thought. Empirical studies focus on the resource combinations of merger partners, the specific circumstances of merger negotiations, and on integration management as antecedents of merger performance. Unfortunately, empirical findings have not yet provided reliable explanations for M&;A success. Based on the current state of Anglo-American M&;A research, the authors discuss implications for business practice, identify research gaps, and propose areas for future research.     

Introduction of New Technology with a Sound Transition of the Input-Output Structure

We examine the general equilibrium repercussions associated with the introduction of new technologies, using the generalized Leontief system that allows technological substitutions. We show that an untested introduction of cost-increasing technologies in any industry may result in creating a non-productive technological structure that does not satisfy the Hawkins-Simon condition, following the autonomous dynamic adjustment process with structural transitions in the economic system. Therefore, we propose a practicable control scheme of introducing cost-increasing technologies that strictly avoids the creation of non-productive structures in all periods of structural transition, using the available information on the ex ante technological structure.     

The Creation of the Office for National Statistics

A new Office for National Statistics was created in the United Kingdom in 1996 following a series of developments designed to strengthen the relevance and integrity of statistics. This paper describes these fundamental changes and sets out a blueprint for future progress. It also sets current developments in the United Kingdom in an historical and international context.     

What helps? Women engineers' accounts of staying on

We have considerable understanding of the obstacles that women engineers encounter and the reasons that they leave the field, but we know less about what enables them to remain. Adopting an interpretivist approach, this article examines how a group of British women engineers in two FTSE 100 companies account for “staying on” in their male‐dominated work settings. We delineate four specific forms of help that facilitate women's retention in the field. We argue that exposure to help leads to women developing a habitus that enables them to continue working in engineering. To conclude, we draw on our findings to outline HR practices that will facilitate supportive relationships in the workplace and pave the way towards developing more positive organisational climates.
