An Integrative Framework for Measuring the Extent to which Organizational Variables Influence the Success of Process Improvement Programmes

abstract    Studies on the three types of process improvement programmes (Continuous Improvement, Reengineering and Benchmarking) have appeared many times in the literature. These studies suggest that certain organizational variables act as enablers and their presence or absence can significantly influence success rates. Such studies have tended to examine companies where a single programme has been implemented. In contrast, this paper examines a sample of companies who have experienced all three programmes. Our aim is to compare and contrast each programme's impact on firm performance and identify which organizational variables are common and which are programme-specific enablers of success. We build and test an integrative framework to support our analysis. Our study found that: (1) Reengineering delivered the greatest impact on performance; (2) executive commitment was needed to make this happen; (3) strategic alignment was the major influence on the success rate of Reengineering and Continuous Improvement programmes; and (4) employee empowerment was necessary for each programme to work effectively.     

企业文化对员工心理契约的影响机制研究——以某高科技上市公司为例

本文的基本观点是,企业文化是通过影响员工心理契约的形成而发挥作用的。本研究发现,企业文化是员工心理契约形成的更一般性的基础,企业文化的特征将决定员工心理契约的性质。我们认为,员工心理契约是一个平衡结构,员工责任和组织责任在内容和强度上都需要平衡。     

信息系统审计在电子政务中的应用

电子政务是政府管理方式的革命,加快电子政务建设是深化行政管理体制改革的重要内容,也是实现政府管理现代化的必由之路。当前,我国电子政务建设尚处在起步阶段,还存在一些问题。通过对我国电子政务现状的分析和对信息系统审计介绍,进一步论述了信息系统审计在电子政务中应用的必要性和紧迫性,提出了一种电子政务中信息系统审计框架,以控制电子政务信息系统建设和改造项目的建设风险,并为改善和健全电子政务的控制提出详细建议。     

LOGIT模型在小额农贷信用风险识别中的应用

小额农贷对满足农民生产、生活中的小额资金需求有重要作用。小额农贷有效实施的关键是信用风险的控制。本文根据小额农贷的特点构造一个LOGIT识别模型，并利用苏北某信用联社贷款数据对模型进行实证检验。LOGIT识别模型结果稳定、可靠，是较理想的农户信用风险识别模型。

Social Welfare and Income Inequality in a System of Cities

This paper develops a general-equilibrium model of a system of core-periphery cities to examine the main determinants of intra- and inter-regional income disparities. The economy is populated by a continuum of (homogeneous) unskilled and (heterogeneous) skilled workers. Unskilled workers, whose wages are determined competitively, specialize in food production in local cities; skilled workers, whose wages are determined according to a Nash bargain, manufacture a high-tech commodity in the metropolis. We establish conditions under which this core-periphery equilibrium spatial configuration emerges. We show that both intra- and inter-regional income disparities are present; the determinants of each type of disparity and the social-welfare implications are fully investigated. Our results suggest that public policy programs that improve income equality may not be necessarily welfare enhancing.     

具有网络效应的产品的价格竞争分析

具有网络效应的产品是指消费者在消费这种产品时所获得的效用会随着购买这种产品的其他消费者数量的增加而不断增加的产品。本文通过建立一个有两个厂商的离散动态决策模型，研究在分散决策的市场经济中生产具有网络效应的产品的厂商的价格决策对产品市场占有率的影响，价格决策影响产品市场占有率的动态演化的过程，以及市场均衡的务件和特征，包括产品不占有市场、占有部分市场以及上有今都市场的价格条件。
