Relinking Cross‐functional Collaboration,Knowledge Integration Mechanisms,and Product Innovation Performance: a Moderated Mediation Model

Previous research shows that knowledge integration mechanisms (KIMs) mediate the cross‐functional collaboration‐product innovation performance relationship; however, this mediating effect seems to be rather weak. This study, in contrast, develops a moderated mediation (MOME) model to argue that such a mediating effect is moderated by product innovativeness. A sample comprised of 106 manufacturing firms is utilized in the analyses. A moderated‐mediation approach shows that the mediating effect of KIMs in the linkage between cross‐functional collaboration and product innovation performance varies by different perspectives of product innovativeness. From an industry (macro‐level) perspective, product innovativeness positively moderates the mediating effect of KIMs on product innovation performance; in contrast, such a moderating effect is not significant under a firm (micro‐level) perspective.

An overview of Internet-based surveys in hospitality and tourism journals

Survey research has reached an era when the Internet is commonly used as a research tool in different fields of study. Yet, the use of this method in tourism and hospitality research has not been fully explored. This study provides a state-of-the-art assessment of journal publications in the past ten years to reveal how the Internet has been incorporated into tourism and hospitality research. Various aspects of online research in tourism and hospitality are identified via reviewing relevant articles retrieved from the EBSCOhost.

说话状态在歌唱训练中的应用

说话的声音和歌唱的声音都是由同一个结构、同样的发声器官产生的。呼吸器官、喉头、声带、共鸣器官以及咬字吐字器官是说话与歌唱发声所必须的物质基础与条件，只是两者对这些器官的运用程度不一样。说话发音是歌唱的基础，歌唱发音是说话的技术系统化和艺术化。歌唱发音与说话发音有着不可分割的联系，将说话发音的自然、放松，以及语言表述感迁移到歌唱训练中，用怎样“说”来启发怎样“唱”，对声乐学习有重要意义。

Policies for agricultural development in Peninsular Malaysia

This paper highlights land use changes in the agricultural sector of Peninsular Malaysia. Since rational land use necessitates consideration of alternatives in relation to the natural potential of the land, the author examines the land resource inventory based on soil suitability and land utilization. This is followed by a discussion of land use changes brought about by public sector land development agencies and the private sector. The author gives a review of current land use policies and concludes with possible alternatives for the future.     

IMPACT OF DIVIDEND‐PROTECTED EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS ON PAYOUT POLICIES: EVIDENCE FROM TAIWAN

Abstract. This study used a sample of 1035 Taiwanese firms to examine the impact of dividend protected employee stock options on stock repurchase and cash dividend policies from 2000 to 2005. This study finds a positive relationship between cash dividends and executive options, implying that executives holding stock options might prefer to distribute cash dividends to boost the stock price. This result, unlike in earlier studies, arises from the dividend protected characteristic of Taiwanese employee stock options. Finally, free cash flow, firm profitability, level of debt, investment opportunities and firm size are found to considerably influence payout decisions.     

On the faustmann solution to the forest management problem

This paper is concerned with optimal solutions to the forest management problem when future utilities are undiscounted. By examining asymptotic properties of such solutions, we find that (i) if the utility function is linear, then the Faustmann periodic solution is optimal; (ii) if the utility function is increasing and strictly concave, an optimal solution converges to the maximum sustained yield solution, which we characterize as a golden rule. These results may be viewed as a possible resolution to the debate in forestry economics about what constitutes an optimal policy in forest management.     

供应链资本对供应商响应影响的实证研究

供应链资本可划分为关系资本和结构资本。其中,供应链结构资本对供应商的影响是通过管理交流和技术交流两个维度体现的。研究显示,技术交流对供应商响应的影响效果最大,技术交流可直接影响供应商响应,也可以通过提高关系资本对供应商响应带来间接影响。而管理交流则需要通过提高技术交流才能提高供应商响应。以信任和互惠为核心的关系资本对供应商响应亦有显著影响。因此,采购企业提高供应商响应的有效方法包括提高双方的技术交流,促进双方高层及管理人员的管理交流,增进双方信任并在合作中有效实施合理的利益分配。
