员工参与对于预算管理绩效影响的路径分析

本文以路径分析方法为基础,对我国上市公司内员工参与和管理绩效之间的关系进行了实证研究。研究结果发现,员工对于预算目标的接受度会对员工参与和管理绩效之间的关系产生影响,其影响程度会受到预算目标困难度的调节,预算目标困难度高时,员工参与可经由强化预算目标接受而间接提升预算管理绩效;困难度低时,则无此效果。

Effects of the matching fund program on IPO and bankruptcy of SMEs in Korea

Most small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Korea struggle in financing R&D. Thus, the Korea Core Industrial Technology Investment Association (KITIA) was established to implement a matching fund program (MFP) to help SMEs with this undertaking. Applicant firms to the MFP are reviewed first based on their technology levels and are required to attract financing from venture capitalists (VCs), before receiving funds from the MFP. This paper, based on KITIAs MFP applicant data from 2001 to 2004, evaluates the performance of the MFP in terms of the success rate of funded SMEs’ initial public offerings (IPOs) and bankruptcy rates in relation to those SMEs that could not attract matching funds. Propensity score matching was used to eliminate selection bias from the data in order to assess the actual treatment effect of the MFP. According to the result of logistic regression applied to the matched data, MFP apparently did not have significant effects on IPO success and bankruptcy. This implies that MFP needs to allow VCs more time to evaluate SMEs covering qualitative aspects as well. It is expected that this change of structure can provide better performance of MFP in terms of IPO success and bankruptcy of matched SMEs.     

Electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) generation in new media platforms: The role of regulatory focus and collective dissonance

In this research, we examine the role of two motivational forces associated with creation of electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM): regulatory focus and collective dissonance. Our studies show that generation of eWOM is enhanced by regulatory fit, while traditional WOM is dominated by the negativity effect. In study 1A, we show that prevention-focused consumers produce stronger intentions to post eWOM when they undergo a negative compared to a positive service experience. In study 1B, we find that promotion-focused consumers are more likely to post eWOM in reaction to a positive service experience when one's self-construal is independent. The final study shows that due to collective dissonance, consumers have greater intentions to create eWOM when their experiences are inconsistent with others' postings. We discuss the implications of these results for the development and management of eWOM communication in virtual communities.     

中国寿险公司多元化经营的风险分析

选取新华、国寿、太平、泰康、平安等五家寿险集团公司从2001~2011年每年绩效指标中总资产收益率和净资产收益率的标准差作为度量公司风险的指标,将五家公司的业务线熵指数的均值作为多元化经营的指标进行实证分析。结果表明:多元化经营与寿险公司总资产收益率、净资产收益率的标准差之间存在一定的非线性关系,即多元化经营在一定范围内可以降低ROA和ROE的波动性,但在一定范围内又可能会增大这种波动性。

不锈钢复合管缺陷概率的事故树分析

运用事故树分析研究不锈钢复合管的缺陷概率重要度和危险重要度。结果表明焊缝裂纹不但发生概率比较大,而且影响比较严重,因此降低复合管缺陷发生概率应优先考虑降低焊缝裂纹的产生。提出了影响质量的主要因素及改善质量的优先顺序,也为其他结构的机电产品提供了风险分析的途径。     

When bad news is sugarcoated: Information distortion,organizational search and the behavioral theory of the firm

Most work in strategy and organization theory assumes that performance feedback is straightforward to interpret and truthfully reported. We raise the following question: How might the systematic distortion of negative performance information affect organizational learning and future performance? We formulate a model where (1) members do not always report the truth about what they know about their performance level, especially when performance is below aspiration and (2) their propensity to distort information is subject to social influence. We find that organizations that are characterized by a high level of information distortion tend to perform more poorly but that the effect of a low rate of sugarcoating may, in some conditions, be more benign than the literatures seem to suggest.
