Value Chain Connectivity in Indonesia: The Evolution of Unbundlings

This paper applies the conceptual framework of ‘unbundling’, proposed by Baldwin (2016), to assess the value chain connectivity in Indonesia. Indonesia is a geographically large country, and three different levels of unbundling co-exist. The first unbundling aligns with the industry-wise international division of labour in plantation agriculture, mining, and labour-intensive industries; the second aligns with where the task-wise international division of labour dominates mainly in machinery industries; and the third aligns with where face-to-face costs are reduced by the digital economy. We argue that the further upgrading of unbundling and the more effective use of advanced piecemeal technologies among different levels of unbundling will enable Indonesia to achieve rapid and equitable economic development. Overcoming distance is key for effectively using the mechanics of unbundling. We propose that three key elements are be promoted: enhancement of connectivity, development of the service sector, and improvement of the policy environment.     

家族企业究竟是促进创新还是阻碍创新?——争论与整合

在学术界一直存在一个争论:家族涉入是促进了企业创新还是阻碍了企业创新?厘清上述争论的产生原因和影响因素,有助于解释家族企业创新研究的争论和拓展家族企业创新研究的视野。本文对近年来相关文献进行了系统地梳理,归纳出家族企业创新三个领域的研究成果:家族企业创新投入、家族企业创新产出、家族企业创新的影响因素(内部家族因素和外部环境因素),分析家族企业创新争论产生的原因,并针对现有研究存在的不足,对未来的研究提出展望。本文提出通过构建权变理论整合家族企业创新争论的研究方向,有助于丰富家族企业创新的理论研究。     

基于AHP方法旅游地生态安全评价——以丘北普者黑景区为例

旅游地生态安全是承载旅游区可持续健康发展的关键,在对某个景区规划开发过程中就应该考虑到景区的合理承载力,避免过度开发,导致生态安全破坏.滇东南喀斯特地貌广布,形成了独特的喀斯特风景,普者黑景区就是典型的代表;但是又由于喀斯特地区生态十分脆弱,极易遭到破坏,因此在对普者黑景区开发之前就对它的生态安全状况进行分析,才能在日后开发过程中收获环境与经济双效益.

Role of tourism in connecting Taiwan and China: Assessing tourists' perceptions of the Kinmen–Xiamen links

For a broad understanding of tourism across the Taiwan Strait, this paper previously draws on an overview of tourism and the evolutionary process of “Mini Three Links” policy between Kinmen (of Taiwan) and Xiamen (of China). Further, using empirical testing, the paper assesses the perceptions of Kinmen tourists towards China. The results reveal the fact that low-politics activity or people-to-people contacts can be an effective force to reduce tension. The finding of the paper also indicates that as long as tourism across the Taiwan Strait continues to grow, the relationship between Kinmen and Xiamen can therefore be normalized and promoted.     

Fashionability vis-à-vis rationality: investigating factors driving users’ e-tourism website stickiness

Understanding what drive users’ website stickiness is of strategic importance for e-tourism managers. This study examines the role of a neglected construct ‘perceived fashionability’ in forming users’ e-tourism website stickiness in comparison with four commonly studied rational factors: system quality, information quality, security and e-shopping value. Drawing upon dual-system theories and social influence theories, a conceptual model with hypotheses was developed and tested. A sample of 376 e-tourism website users in China participated in this study. The results indicate that perceived fashionability has a positive impact on user's stickiness to the website, and perceived fashionability also performs a mediating role between website security and stickiness. This study contributes to theory by explaining that website stickiness is not entirely driven by rationality but also perceived fashionability. Managerial implications for e-tourism strategies are provided.     

Britsch Guyana in 1878

Enkele dngen vóór het verschijnen dezer Aflevering gewordt ons nevensgaand artikel van den Hr. J. A. T. Cohen Stuart, die reeds vroeger zijne inzigten omtrent de immigratie-kwestie in dit Tijdschrift mededeelde, en wiens jarenlange ambtenaars-loopbaan als administrateur der financien in Suriname hem voorzeker allezins aanspraak geeft, mede gehoord te worden. Ofschoon zijne inzigten geheel van die van mr. S. van Praag verschillen, hebben wij, bij de welligt kort op handen zijnde afdoening van het Immigratieontwerp, om de zoo even gemelde reden gemcend aan het verlangen van den geachten inzender te kunnen toegeven, om ook zijne beschouwingen nog met dit No voor het publiek le brengen,-alzoo het audi et alteram partemgaarne, zooveel doenlijk, ook hier toepassende.
