Supplier Development Practices for Sustainability: A Multi‐Stakeholder Perspective

Supplier development for sustainability is a critical element of sustainable supply chain management and requires extensive multi‐stakeholder collaboration. This article establishes a conceptual four‐stage framework to analyse the collaborative mechanisms of supplier development practices, and presents an exploratory, qualitative analysis to identify the major contributors of sustainable supplier development practices, such as NGOs, industrial associations, consulting firms etc. Based on semi‐structured interviews about 63 organizations from different regions and industries, this article identifies three types of contributor: drivers, facilitators and inspectors. Instead of traditional stakeholder engagement processes, these contributors actively collaborate with buying firms and suppliers to design, implement and evaluate sustainable supplier development programs. The article then provides a matrix to describe the supply chain coverage and supplier performance of supplier development practices, given the absence or positive involvement of facilitators and inspectors. We conclude our study by suggesting future research directions as well as discussing managerial implications. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment     

β收敛、空间依赖与中国制造业发展

研究目标：探究欧盟否认中国市场经济地位,对中国、欧盟及世界经济的宏观、产业以及贸易的影响。研究方法：将“非市场经济地位”折算为“反倾销等值税”,利用全球贸易分析模型针对欧盟对中国征收的进口关税进行计算。研究发现：欧盟否认中国市场经济地位不会缓解欧盟就业压力,反而使欧盟出口在中国总进口占比下降001个百分点;同时,全世界资源配置效率下降,进一步导致全世界整体福利下降;虽然欧盟否认中国市场经济地位使中国对欧盟出口减少约506亿美元,但中国向世界其他地区的出口量均有所上升;而且有利于中国产业结构优化,对供给侧改革有一定的激励作用。研究创新：将“非市场经济地位”折算为“反倾销等值税”。研究价值：在研究非数值变量时（如市场经济地位）,可利用其直接影响的变量（反倾销）造成的直接经济损失,折算为适当的指标变量（等值关税）。中国对世界经济的贡献和影响巨大,市场经济地位不容否认。     

Global Versus Local Consumer Culture Positioning in a Transitional Market: Understanding the Influence of Consumer Nationalism

To shed cultural insights on the complex interplay between globalization and local ideologies, this study presents an online experiment that tested the comparative effects of global and local consumer culture positioning strategies in China. Reflecting the prevailing trend of nationalism around the globe, the study findings highlight the power of consumer nationalism on driving the effects of these culture-oriented positioning strategies. Furthermore, self-brand connection was found to be a critical mediator of the effects of consumer nationalism on brand evaluation. Based on the findings, this study provides strategic guidelines for both domestic and global brands to craft culturally relevant campaigns that capitalize on the growing trend of consumer nationalism in transitioning markets such as China.

Pareto-improving social optimal pricing schemes based on bottleneck permits for managing congestion at a merging section

Akamatsu, Sato, and Nguyen (2006 Akamatsu, T., Sato, S., &; Nguyen, X. L. (2006). Tradable time-of-day bottleneck permits for morning commuters (in Japanese). JSCE Journal of Infrastructure Planning 62(4), 605–620.[Crossref] , [Google Scholar]) proposed a first-best pricing scheme based on the concept of bottleneck permits. The scheme allows permit holders to pass a bottleneck at specified times and is shown to be able to minimize social cost. However, the scheme is not always Pareto-improving in that it may harm some drivers. The objective of this study is to design Pareto-improving pricing scheme with bottleneck permits for a V-shaped two-to-one merge bottleneck. First, the paper formulates the morning commute model in the network and describes the arrival time choice equilibrium in the network with merging bottleneck. Secondly, we show that the first-best pricing scheme with bottleneck permits for this V-shaped network does not always achieve a Pareto improvement, with the cost of one group of drivers is increased by the permit pricing, a phenomena akin to the bottleneck paradox of Arnott, de Palma, and Lindsey (1993 Arnott, R., de Palma, A., &; Lindsey, R. (1993). Properties of dynamic traffic equilibrium involving bottlenecks, including a paradox and metering. Transportation Science 27(2), 148–160.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]). We propose three implementations of bottleneck permits for Pareto-improving: (1) merging priority rule is included in the bottleneck permits scheme by creating different market for each origin; (2) the permit revenues are refunded as monetary compensation to drivers whose cost is increased; and (3) the permit revenues are used to expand bottleneck capacity. For each implementation, we derive their equilibrium solutions and demonstrate that the Pareto improvement is achieved and social cost is decreased by using the permit revenues for expanding the bottleneck capacity.     

基于零售商开通网络渠道的多渠道供应链定价策略

文针对拥有网络直销渠道的制造商,考虑零售商实体渠道促销努力水平及消费者的搭便车行为,在 Nash博弈和零售商主导的Stackelberg 博弈下,就零售商开通网络渠道的问题进行研究。通过理论和数值分析,得到以下结论：零售商渠道地位对其开通网络渠道影响不大;开通后,制造商利润减小,当实体渠道基本市场份额较小时,零售商利润增大;零售商应根据实体渠道基本市场份额大小来决定是否开通网络渠道。     

人- 组织匹配对创新行为的内在影响机制研究

员工是企业创新活动的主要实施者,其创新行为决定了创新的成败,但现有研究对员工创新行为的内在影响机制仍缺乏清晰刻画。本文基于社会认知理论,从心理因素的视角出发,探索人 - 组织匹配对创新行为的内在影响机制。通过收集数据,应用层次回归分析验证所提出的理论假设。结果表明,人-组织匹配不仅能对创新行为产生直接影响,还能够通过内部动机对创新行为产生间接影响。本文从理论上丰富了创新行为的相关研究,实践上为提升员工创新行为提出了对策建议。     

新型城镇化对产业升级的影响效应分析

我国新型城镇化已成为经济新常态下产业升级的新思路,新型城镇化进程产生的诸多绩效是产业升级的强大动力。本文系统阐述了新型城镇化影响产业升级的作用机理,并基于数据可得性以带状选取东中西部各3个省份,每个省选取3个中大型地级市2004~2015年的面板数据作为研究样本,将新型城镇化和产业升级之间关系图和格兰杰因果检验结合,从时间和空间角度分析新型城镇化对产业升级的影响。结论表明：在时间上,2005~2011年,两者有负相关关系,2011~2015年,两者有正相关关系;在空间上,东部新型城镇化对产业升级有正向影响,中西部前者对后者无正向影响。根据实证结果和新型城镇化对产业升级的影响在时间和空间上存在差异的原因进而提出相关对策建议。     

环境约束下中国工业企业创新效率评价及影响因素研究

本文应用SBM模型的改进DEA模型以及DEA-Tobit法对中国2006～2015年环境约束下工业企业技术创新效率及其影响因素进行实证分析,研究结果表明,非期望产出对企业效率评价结果有较大影响,北部沿海综合经济区的环境效率值最高;西北综合经济区、长江中游综合经济区、黄河中游综合经济区、东北综合经济区环境效率值相对较差。政府支持力度、企业规模与环境约束下的工业企业技术创新效率呈正相关关系,企业聚集度与其呈负相关关系,而企业技术水平与从业人员素质对其影响较小。     

以农产品外贸市场拓展促进农村一二三产业融合发展

我国农产品贸易额占外贸进出口总额的比率较低。2009年以来,农产品对外贸易存在持续逆差,制约农产品产加销服融合。低端出口结构制约农业产业链延伸,农产品加工业亟须引进国际标准和先进技术。我国应增加深加工农产品出口,拓展和充分利用绿箱政策空间,大力发展环境友好型的绿色农业。建议开拓"一带一路"沿线国家农产品出口市场和新兴经济体农产品贸易市场;建立一批农业主导的自由贸易区,大力发展线上线下相融合的境外电商,搭建农业生产经营者与境外客源直通平台;申请农产品绿色认证,建立农产品质量标准体系,推广普及农产品质量安全追溯体系,逐步放开农业出口贸易信用保险市场。
