The future of the mobile phone business

One of the fastest growing technologies of our times is that of mobile phones. In this article we use the assumption that the diffusion of mobile technology, as measured by the number of active mobile accounts, follows the well known S-curve of natural growth in competition systems. The accuracy of the logistic fit is tested against actual data for the whole world, Europe, China and the GSM system. Using the produced models predictions concerning the future of mobile business are deliberated.According to these models active mobile accounts around the globe are expected to grow from 1.7 billion in 2004 to approximately 2 billion in 2008, reaching a peak penetration of 29.2%. Growth barriers, apart from the age of the potential user, are also low income and extreme poverty. Europe, early adopter of mobile technology and leader in active mobile accounts against all other regions in the world, has apparently reached a peak with almost every European, apart from the very young or very old, using a mobile phone. The mobile market in China is anticipated to exceed 500 million active accounts and may increase even further depending on the economic and social reform that is currently under way in that part of the world. GSM will most likely remain the leading mobile technology in the future as it is today.The growth process for the world, Europe, and the GSM system is almost completed and during this stage instabilities may occur before the potential emergence of a new wave of growth.

走进直销店——探访日本农产品流通新路

现在日本全国大约有1万家以上的农产品直销店,大多数都是在上世纪90年代泡沫经济破灭后开办的,属于农产品流通业态的新军。最近的统计显示,日本的农产品直销店的全年销售总额已超过6000亿日元,这相当于日本东北三县的农业生产总额。农产品直销店不仅使众多的农家获得了新生,更在一些地区带动了观光农业、食育事业、农家餐厅等城市和农村的交流项目,并引起了一股对传统菜肴和家乡菜再认识和评价的热潮。虽然中日两国的国情不同,但就中国国内的农产品流通的现状来看,笔者认为还是大有可借鉴之处的。从近年来困扰国内农产品流通的一大问题,即流通过程中的流通成本居高不下、流通环节仍然过多过杂的角度来看,农产品直销店的做法可以缓解这些相应的问题,而且文中已提到的其他相关作用也可以作为我们的积极参考。

Measuring inter-organizational trust—a critical review of the empirical research in 1990-2003

This study reviews empirical research on inter-organizational trust. Since the early 1990s, researchers on inter-organizational relationships have consistently argued that mutual trust is an essential factor of relationship quality and performance. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the advancements and setbacks in current empirical research in terms of measuring inter-organizational trust. This paper analyzes the theoretical approach, the conceptualization and operationalization, and the measurement issues covered in studies on inter-organizational trust conducted from 1990 to 2003. Although trust has emerged as an important factor in inter-organizational relationships, there are still major conceptual and methodological challenges to be met in studying this complex concept. The results show major inconsistencies in conceptualization, operationalization, and measurement of trust. The paper concludes with suggestions for further empirical research.     

The effect of social conflict on relationship loyalty in business markets

This study examines the impact of perceived social conflict on existing buyer-seller relationships.

Perceived importance of the relationship had no impact on conflict or relationship loyalty. Ramifications of these findings for selling, sales management, and sales training are discussed.
