Extending the “P” perspective: An institutional account of management research in Australia

In commenting Meyer’s article “Asian management research needs more self-confidence” in APJM (2006), Yang and Terjesen (Asia Pacific Journal of Management, 24(4):497–507, 2007) described ground realities in Australia that may have inhibited the development of a robust management research community. As an Australia-trained and Australia-based Asian management scholar, I extend the “P” perspective by exploring how the formal and informal institutions interact in shaping Australia-based scholars’ publication strategies and research performance. Reflecting on my experience in Australia, I argue that like in any other businesses, institutions matter in our business of research and publication. They matter because they can shape the local “rule of the game” within which a country’s or a region’s scholars conduct and publish their research. A full institutional account of the current state of management research in the Asia Pacific region requires a deeper understanding of both formal and informal local institutions. From such an institutional perspective, this commentary concentrates on why Australian management research lags behind that in the US and Europe and yet leads the Asia Pacific region.

水环境质量变权评价、识别模型

水质质量受多种指标影响,不同指标的影响程度不同。令w_j表示第j种指标I_j的影响程度,0≤w_j≤1,w_1 w_2 … w_j=1,称w_j为I_j的权重。但是,I_j对相关水域中不同区段上的水样x_i(i=1,2,…,n)的影响程度是不同的。虽然水域是连通的,但不是封闭的,由于污染口的存在,水域不同区段上的污染物含量不同。在同一评价标准下,同一污染物的含量不同,意味着不同的影响程度。因此,I_j的权重w_j与水样x_i有关,应改为     

同杆弱馈线路对差动保护的影响分析

同杆并架带弱馈线路逐步在电力系统中出现,这种系统中故障特征较之常规系统有所区别。文章提出新的跨线故障模型,采用六序分量法分析同杆并架带弱馈线路在发生跨线故障时过渡电阻对差动保护的影响,得出:在靠近弱馈侧发生跨线故障,跨线相之间的过渡电阻会影响差动保护的动作行为,甚至有可能导致差动保护拒动,从而使得该线失去速动保护。综合双回线考虑,继电保护可实现纵续动作。文章并建立了RTDS试验模型,仿真结果与理论一致。

An investigation of ingratiation as a career management strategy: evidence from Singapore

In spite of the recognition that career politics, and therefore ingratiation, is widely used to manage careers, there is a dearth of empirical studies on ingratiation as a career management strategy. Consistent with Ferris and Kacmar's (1988) suggestion, the study reported here investigated the conditions (defined by situational variables, career concerns and personality variables) under which ingratiation is used as a career management strategy. Data were obtained through a structured questionnaire from professional employees (N = 214) in public and private sector organizations in Singapore.

Factor analysis of the 21-item career concerns scale revealed four solutions representing internal and external career concerns. The results of the hierarchical regression revealed that situational variables explained most of the variance in ingratiation, followed by career concerns and personality variables. Among the individual variables, task ambiguity, supervisor reward power, managerial responsibility and need for achievement were significant while personal success approached significance. Internal career concern of autonomy development was unrelated to ingratiation. Of the interaction terms, only supervisor reward power and Machiavellianism approached significance. Directions for future studies are suggested.

R-optimal designs for multi-factor models with heteroscedastic errors

In this paper, we consider the R-optimal design problem for multi-factor regression models with heteroscedastic errors. It is shown that a R-optimal design for the heteroscedastic Kronecker product model is given by the product of the R-optimal designs for the marginal one-factor models. However, R-optimal designs for the additive models can be constructed from R-optimal designs for the one-factor models only if sufficient conditions are satisfied. Several examples are presented to illustrate and check optimal designs based on R-optimality criterion.     

节能减排政策传导机制及效果研究——以重庆市节能减排政策体系为例

"十二五"期间,节能减排作为调结构、扩内需的重要方式以及可持续发展的重要举措,被提上了议事日程。作为老工业基地之一的重庆市,资源消耗量与废物排放量持续增加,形势不容乐观。拟对重庆市现行节能减排政策传导机制及效果进行深入研究,以期推动重庆市经济的可持续发展。研究发现,重庆市促进节能减排以实施命令控制型政策和排污收费政策为主,市场化手段仍不成熟,如排污权交易活跃度低、相关税收政策缺失等。基于这些问题,结合西方国家经验与重庆市资源环境市场特点,提出构建绿色税收体系,加快排污权交易市场建设,完善市场机制等建议。
