重庆魅力

<正>即使在来到重庆前做了一番功课,在维基百科上和台湾的旅游指南寂寞星球搜索、了解了一下这个城市,来到这里以后仍然还是感受到了视觉,听觉,感觉上的超负荷。老实说,来重庆的前几周我都是处在迷     

The problems of the southward enlargement of the EC

The process of southward enlargement of the European Community is now well under way; Greece has been a full member since 1st January 1981 and intensive negotiations with Spain and Portugal are proceeding, although a successful conclusion is not yet in sight. Our article discusses the political and economic implications of enlargement for both the acceding countries and the existing community, concluding with a number of proposals regarding the course to be followed in future.     

泛珠三角地区制造业梯度转移实证分析

—个区域的竞争方主要表现在其产业竞争力方面，产业合作是泛珠三角地区经济合作的一个重要方面。泛珠三角地区涵盖了东、中、西部，各地区之间存在着明显的经济发展梯度。根据范海英（2003）的研究，广东省2002年的产业结构高于泛珠三角地区其他省份，同时结合泛珠三角地区各省GDP的总量来看，广东省尤其是工业化程度和城市化程度最高的“珠三角”在“泛珠三角经济圈”中居于中心地位，而广东省在发展第二、三产业方面具有比较优势，其他省份则相对处于劣势，这为广东的产业转移提供了难得的机遇。     

由贸易大国到贸易强国的转换路径与对策

本文在定义贸易强国的基础之上通过贸易利益曲线和贸易方格对贸易强国进行了描述,并进而从贸易特征、外贸基本面和外贸对经济的作用三个层面对贸易强国进行了剖析,提出了一套指标体系。分析表明,我国在贸易结构、贸易条件、贸易竞争力以及外贸贡献度和贸易利益分配地位等方面与贸易强国标准存在一定的差距。我国从贸易大国到贸易强国的转换过程是贸易模式演进路径的一个阶段,而要成功实现这一转变,必须做好高级生产要素的积累等关键性工作。     

STRATEGIC LOBBYING BY POTENTIAL INDUSTRY ENTRANTS*

A firm which lobbies government for a change in policy, say an import tariff, can increase its profits in two ways. First, the policy can increase the profits of all firms in the industry. This effect therefore involves a free-rider problem. Second, a firm's lobbying expenditures may signal other firms about its costs and interests. For example, a firm with low marginal costs may profit much from an import ban. Other firms which see that this firm expects to profit much from the ban may decide not to enter the industry. This may further increase the low-cost firm's profits.     

企业经营管理沙盘模拟实验教学探讨

我们对管理理论的理解和管理理念的融会贯通都需要与实践相结合,但出于商业机密或其他原因,多数企业不愿意提供场所供高校学生进行管理实践,高校管理专业教学面临与实际脱节的困境.如何让学生在不离开校园的情况下,就能够学习掌握企业经营管理的知识和技能,这无疑是高校教育迫切需要解决的课题,在这样一种教育背景下,企业经营管理沙盘模拟实验课程应运面生.     

Modeling the effect of self-efficacy on game usage and purchase behavior

This research models the relationship between self-efficacy, game purchase and usage. Four-hundred and ninety three consumers responded to a questionnaire. We deployed confirmatory factors analysis (CFA) and structural equation modeling (SEM) across 4 game types; original model (all games) and alternative models, Sports/Simulation/Driving, Role Playing Game/Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game/Strategy and Action/Adventure/Fighting. The impact of self-efficacy on usage and purchase was modeled both individually and simultaneously. For individual effects; models had adequate fit with Sports/Simulation/Driving showing an impact between self-efficacy on game usage and purchase. Our results showed no simultaneous relationship. We conclude that self-efficacy does impact usage or purchase but game type affects this relationship. Research implications are discussed.     

Mergers Among German Cooperative Banks: A Panel-based Stochastic Frontier Analysis

Based on an unbalanced panel of all Bavarian cooperative banks for the years of 1989--97, which includes information on 283 mergers, we analyze motives and cost effects of small-scale mergers in German banking. Estimating a frontier cost function with a time-variable stochastic efficiency term, we show that positive scale and scope effects from a merger arise only if the merged unit closes part of the former branch network. When we compare actual mergers to a simulation of hypothetical mergers, size effects of observed mergers turn out to be slightly more favorable than for all possible mergers. Banks taken over by others are less efficient than the average bank in the same size class, but exhibit, on average, the same efficiency as the acquiring firms. For the post-merger phase, our empirical results provide no evidence for efficiency gains from merging, but point instead to a leveling off of differences among the merging units.     

团队内冲突对团队决策质量和满意度影响的实证研究

Conflict is a pivotal variable influencing team decision performance. This article reviewed literature on intragroup conflict and studied how different types of conflicts affect perceived team decision quality and satisfaction. We conducted a survey on 156 managers and found that the task-relationship conflict dimensions are also valid in the Chinese context. We also found that both task conflict and relationship conflict are negatively related to team members’ decision satisfaction. Relationship conflict acts as a mediator between task conflict and decision satisfaction. __________ Translated from Guanli pinglun 管理评论 (Management Review), 2007, 19(7): 10–15
