Transnational entrepreneurs: Characteristics, drivers, and success factors

Recent literature considers the significance and determinants of transnational entrepreneurship arising from the immigrant communities. However, empirical evidence remains fragmented, largely due to the contextual diversity of the phenomenon. Using data collected from the Chinese Canadian community, the current study examines the transnational entrepreneurs’ characteristics, drivers, and factors affecting their successes. The results portray a typical transnational entrepreneur as a 45-year-old or older man who is married with one child, has completed Master’s or higher education programmes, and does not have a full-time job. For these transnational entrepreneurs, seeking business opportunities is an important reason for their migration to Canada in the first place and, subsequently, business expansion by drawing resources from dual locations becomes the primary driver toward a transnational mode of economic adaptation. The findings highlight the importance of context-specific determinants of transnational entrepreneurship and provide important implications for practice and policy making.

Improving survey research using diagrams of data structure

Using diagrams of data structure, or conceptual models, is important in businesses. Survey research often has if-then data structure, but discussion of diagramming survey data structure is rare. This study uses the U.S. Fishing, Hunting and Wildlife-Associated Recreation (FHWAR) survey data and a Taiwan survey in the analysis of benefits of using data structure diagrams in survey research. Examples of data structure diagram use show how diagramming can support consistent and logical data collection, as well as improved data storage and analysis. Analysis also shows how storing if-then (conditional) data in entities/tables allows simple and intuitively meaningful unconditional variable names and can facilitate consideration of conditions that should/can affect analysis. A general conclusion is that the time has come for tourism and business survey researchers to benefit from using diagrams of data structure in planning data accumulation and to benefit from using modern systems in data collection, storage and analysis.

A model of junior high school students’ attitudes toward technology

The purposes of this study were to develop and verify a model that contributes to our understanding of the attitudes toward technology held by students in junior high school, as well as to explore relationships among the factors in this model. We distributed questionnaires to research participants selected on the basis of stratified random sampling. A total of 1,437 questionnaires were distributed, and 1,330 valid questionnaires were collected, reflecting a valid return rate of 92%. Structural equation modeling was used to construct and verify a model of student attitudes toward technology. The results of the study included (1) a complete model of student attitudes toward technology and (2) identification of the main factors influencing the pursuit of careers in technology, identification with technology, and experiences with technology-related curricula.     

生态工业园建设的产业政策支持

全球制造网络下中国先进轨道交通装备制造业发展战略

20世纪以来,全球化、信息化浪潮席卷世界,一种全新的制造组织方式———全球制造网络发展起来。全球制造网络的本质在于发达国家的国际旗舰企业利用在全球制造网络中的主导地位,抢滩海外市场,对发展中国家和地区的劳动力、资源等采取各种形式的"经济剥削"。本文从分析全球制造网络负面效应入手,探讨中国先进轨道交通装备制造业存在的问题,从技术、结构和市场战略3个方面提出适合中国国情的先进轨道交通装备制造业发展战略。     

政治资本、人力资本与行政垄断行业进入——基于中国私营企业调查的实证研究

现有关于市场转型的实证研究往往难以区分是再分配权力决定个体地位的获得,还是有更强能力的个体进入体制内并获得更高的地位。本文研究认为企业家的前再分配部门任职经历意味着企业创立时即拥有政治资本,而那些创业后获得政治安排的人则主要意味着其能力得到更多的认可。基于全国私营企业调查数据的实证研究显示,市场化并没有减弱政治资本的作用,同时还增加了人力资本带来的收益,但若人力资本和政治资本结合,这种收益将增加得更多,由此可能导致权贵资本的产生。
