Adoption of professional management in Chinese family business: A multilevel analysis of impetuses and impediments

Building upon the market, institutional, and cultural perspectives, this paper identifies the major impetuses and impediments that affect the professionalization of Chinese family business at the environment, firm, and owner levels. Our integrative framework projects that whether a family business owner will adopt professional managers is largely determined by the relative strength of impetus factors and impediment factors. We then discuss the possible governance choices under different configuration of impetuses and impediments. This theoretical framework is expected to help set the momentum for further conceptual exploration and empirical study in this area.

Learning design and technology through social networks for high school students in China

The subject of design and technology was introduced to the curriculum for high schools in China 10 years ago. However, the teaching and learning of this subject have become difficult for both teachers and students because there is a lack of qualified teachers with design background to deliver this subject in a way to stimulate the learning interests of the students. This paper presents a research that is aimed at improving this situation by integrating the teaching and learning of design and technology within a computational environment as part of social networks sites. The purpose is to enable the collaboration among the students and interaction between teachers and students. In this research, a series of investigations were conducted, by following through several taught subjects in design and technology in prominent high schools in China. Based on these investigations, a theoretical framework for web-based design learning and teaching system in the style of social networking is developed, implemented and tested, emphasizing three features of design: innovation, collaboration, and interaction. This framework has been tested among high school students and teachers in a high school in Nanjing. It identified and validated necessary techniques and design features required to make an education-related social networking site effective and affective for the students and teachers. The results of this research indicated that social networking sites have significantly positive values in design education, especially for the collaboration and interaction on the subject of design and technology.

Distribution contracts to support optimal inventory holdings under demand uncertainty

When suppliers produce products for which demand is uncertain, they face a problem of inducing downstream distributors to stock inventory levels that the suppliers prefer. This paper considers a wide array of alternative supply contracts, each of which consists of a mixture of constant per-unit wholesale prices, buy-back arrangements, and post sale payments contingent on sales made, such as revenue sharing or buybacks. We show that linear supply contracts specifying any combination of two of these three instruments can implement the vertical integrated outcome for a monopoly, thereby generating the supplier's preferred inventory configuration and price distribution. We extend our results to differentiated product oligopoly, demonstrating that each supplier obtains its preferred inventory configuration and price distribution, given the choices of its rival. Distributors choose optimal inventories from the suppliers' standpoint, even if suppliers do not know the distribution of demand uncertainty, and, given the perfect competition among distributors, all profits in the supply chain are captured by suppliers. Thus, suppliers are able to deal with demand uncertainty with remarkably little information about demand, and without the need to control dealer actions in detail. In particular, suppliers need not specify either dealer inventories or resale prices, but instead encourage distributors to order based on information in their possession and to set prices that generate desirable resale price dispersion.     

央行窗口指导效应评估分析——基于《中国货币政策执行报告》的经验研究

《中国货币政策执行报告》作为人民银行的政策沟通渠道之一,按季定期公布,且报告结构体例大体一致。由于央行和公众之间存在信息不对称,因此通过该报告可以构建与公众之间的桥梁,有助于公众理解央行的意图,人民银行可以更好地实现其政策效果。本文通过解构报告,提取人民银行发布的报告中对基本面及信贷、社融、流动性描述的关键语句,对其量化赋予分值,构建评分模型,梳理报告中话语体系的变化脉络,判断货币政策的松紧程度,推测人民银行通过书面文件所要传达的政策信号,方便公众理解政策。     

一种改进的松弛迭代图像配准算法

本文展示了一种改进的松弛迭代图像配准算法,此算法首先使用归一化自相关运算求得图像的粗匹配对,接着使用改进的松弛迭代匹配算法进行精匹配。本文通过优化筛选第一轮迭代结果,使得后续迭代时间明显减少。实验证明此算法效率比原始算法有了很大的提高。     

“双因素”理论在现代企业人力资源管理中的运用

"双因素"理论在人力资源管理领域具有广阔的使用空间,能有效的激励员工,提高企业的管理效率;利用保健因素如公正公平的工资和津贴,改善工作环境,营造平等和谐的人际关系等将有利于激发员工的工作积极性,但其激励作用是有限的,更重要的是强化员工内在激励,即工作丰富化,给与员工成长机会,组织内部竞争环境等,为员工发展提供良好的平台以及发展空间;运用"双因素"理论时,应该充分了解员工的心理需求,并采用多样化的激励方式,正确区分保健因素和激励因素,防止激励因素转化成保健因素,建立保健和激励因素并重的人员激励制度。
