Firm Patenting,Innovations, and Government Institutional Support as a Double‐Edged Sword

In 2012, China was ranked fourth in patent filing by region of origin. However, firm innovation quality is not comparable to such quantity. Evidence of this is that no Chinese organization was named as a Thomson Reuters 2011 or 2012 Top 100 Global Innovators. This paradox of firm patenting and innovations in China challenges the traditional understanding of the role of government in industrial innovation. This paper provides a theoretical lens through which to examine traditional protective and strategic patenting motives. Based on institutional theory and the ultimate goals of patenting motives, the paper posits that protective patenting motives are directly law‐based while strategic patenting motives are largely law‐derived. The paper also aims to empirically examine three questions: (1) What is the relative importance of various patenting motives to firm patenting behaviors? (2) What effects do patenting behaviors have on firm product and process innovations? (3) How, if at all, does governmental institutional support affect firm patenting and innovations? This paper uses dominant analysis, structural equation modeling, and regression analysis to analyze the survey data collected from a sample of 270 firms in China. The empirical results provide new evidence about firm patenting, innovations, and government institutional support. First, the order of relative importance of patenting motives to patenting behaviors was found to be (in the descending order of importance) reputation, exchange, blocking, and protection. Second, patenting behaviors were more relevant to product innovations than to process innovations. Third, more importantly, while government institutional support can enhance the effects of protective patenting motives on patenting behaviors, it can mitigate the effects of strategic patenting motives on patenting behaviors. Moreover, government institutional support reduces the positive effect of patenting behaviors on product innovations. These findings suggest that firm patenting and innovations are distinct activities, and that government institutional support acts as a double‐edged sword in firm patenting and innovations: On the one hand government institutional support—an extralegal formal institution—may work alongside the patent system—a law‐based formal institution—to advance science and technology, but on the other hand government institutional support may distract firms from commercializing patented knowledge into new products. This paper primarily contributes to institutional theory, new product development literature, and innovation management practice by revealing the dynamics between two different types of formal institutions—patent system and government institutional support—by establishing an institution‐based view of patenting motives, by empirically distinguishing firm patenting and innovations, and more interestingly by uncovering a double‐edged role of government institutional support in firm patenting and innovations.

国际热钱的特点及防范

近年来，在人民币升值预期和国内资本、房地产市场升温的双重因素驱动下，大量外资开始流入国内，其中相当大比重的为热钱。在我国对外来投机资本实施严格限制的情况下，热钱的流入采取了多样化、隐蔽的方式进行。本文从热钱的概念和特征、输入渠道以及对我国产生的影响等几方面进行分析，认为要从源头上防范热钱的进入，需要从调整人民币升值预期、完善国内经济体制政策和强化监管手段几个方面着手。

当前群体性事件的诱因透析及处置考量

群体性事件是社会变迁过程中多种因素综合作用的结果,是经济和社会变革进程中各种矛盾和问题的综合反映,是各种利益冲突的集中体现。当前群体性事件突发的诱因集中于经济利益失调、社会心态失衡、管理工作失责、处置方法失当等方面。因此,应以先进性明确执政理念、加强政府危机管理能力建设、构建社会稳定预警机制、果断稳妥的策略及方法等方面的处置路径,将群体性事件解决在萌芽状态、初动状态,把事件的危害性控制在最低限度。
