Spirituality and corporate social responsibility: an empirical narrative from the Balinese tourism industry

The emerging body of knowledge has indicated the positive relationship between spirituality and corporate social responsibility (CSR), yet our understanding of how spirituality can play a role in CSR in general, and in tourism in particular, remains limited. This research takes a qualitative case study approach to the role of spirituality-inspired CSR by providing an empirical investigation of tourism businesses in Bali, Indonesia, where the Hindu based Tri Hita Karana philosophy drives its cultural identity. A total of 20 qualitative interviews and two focus groups were conducted with Bali tourism stakeholders including businesses, government, community and NGOs. The findings show that spirituality plays an important role in CSR in Balinese tourism in three dimensions, namely (1) as a key element of the broader social and cultural context to create a conducive external environment for CSR; (2) as a CSR driver to inspire business leaders; and (3) as a complement to CSR governance, though with limitations. This research contributes to the literature by providing an empirical narrative that demonstrates strong multi-layered links between spirituality and CSR and the implications for tourism destinations in spirituality-oriented cultures.

Do socially responsible activities help hotels and casinos achieve their financial goals?

While the concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) has gained much attention and is currently practiced by many companies, it has yet to be empirically examined in the context of hotels and casinos, especially in regard to the potential effects of CSR on firm value and performance. As the findings on the relationship between CSR and financial performance have been inconclusive and this relationship has been found to differ among industries, this study examines the relationship between CSR and firm value and profitability for hotels and casinos. Results of the Durbin–Wu–Hausman (DWH) test and a subsequent two-stage least square (2SLS) method show that hotel companies’ CSR has a simultaneous and positive relationship with financial performance. For casino companies, however, results show that CSR has no simultaneous or particular effect on financial performance. Findings suggest that hotel companies can confidently and strategically increase CSR investment to enhance both short-term (profitability) and long-term performance (firm value). Casino companies need to carefully examine the effects of CSR on financial performance, when making CSR-related decisions.     

珠三角工业设计与工业互动比较研究：双重需求拉动与设计驱动增长的区域验证

动态比较珠三角工业发展阶段和设计水平不同的典型区域内,工业用户和最终消费者用户双重需求拉动设计创新以及设计驱动工业增长作用机制的异同,提出克服互动系统短板并因地制宜实施设计驱动转型升级的对策建议。基于SVAR建模的脉冲响应和方差分解分析发现：珠三角工业确实可以通过工业设计创新驱动实现内生性可持续增长,而设计水平的地区差异对设计驱动绩效有调节作用;工业发展质量和结构欠佳,无法有效拉动区域工业设计创新,是珠三角多数地区工业设计有效需求不足的根本原因。区域工业设计与工业互动系统的短板是缺乏内行和挑剔的最终消费者有效需求。最后基于模型稳健性检验,提出因地制宜科学实施设计驱动发展战略的对策建议。     

考虑环境因素的区域创新效率研究——基于三阶段DEA方法

以往研究在测算区域创新的效率时并未考虑环境因素的影响。本文以中国省级数据为基础,应用三阶段DEA方法,在控制环境因素的基础上考察了我国区域创新的效率问题。研究表明,我国区域创新的效率较低,且其原因主要是由于规模效率不高所致;与经典DEA方法相比,三阶段DEA方法的测算结果更符合经济现实,更能客观地反映各地区的创新效率水平。本文结论为我国创新型国家建设的效率改进提供了启示。     

循环经济的技术经济范式与政策研究

本文对循环经济技术经济范式的概念进行了定义，对其经济学特征进行了分析，并在此基础上指出，发展循环经济必须进行技术经济范式创新。通过对循环经济内涵的分析，提出了循环经济技术体系是传统技术范式的纵向延伸和横向拓展的观点，据此探讨了循环经济技术创新的内容。在对循环经济技术体系研究的基础上，提出了把循环经济技术开发与高技术研究开发一样纳入国家科技发展战略的观点，探讨了促进循环经济技术创新政策体系。     

上市公司股利政策实证研究

笔者认为,影响股利政策的因素有法律方面的,也有公司自身方面的,其中公司自身的资本结构是最主要也是最关键的因素。资产负债率、资产的流动性、负债的内部结构以及公司规模、股权集中度会直接影响到股利分配。本文对此进行了研究与探索。     

海外商会组织与企业公共关系外交

伴随着全球经济一体化进程,各主要国家的商会力量与企业发展紧密结合,成为国际关系、区域与国别研究、跨文化管理活动中的一种组织形态.新世纪以来,在中国企业走出去成为常态的情况下,中国原生的以地缘关系、亲缘关系为特色和纽带的商业文化也随之展现在世界面前.在广泛意义上的企业公共外交中,商会的作用是不能忽视的环节.大中华区德国工商大会(AHK Greater China)是德国工商大会全球系统的组成部分,是大中华区所有德国企业的商会组织,甚至在以DIHK法为主的德国法律框架下,兼有对大中华区德企的部分行政管理职能.本文以大中华区德国工商大会为案例,探讨和比较德式“商会文化”与中式“商帮文化”的异同,在此基础上,对公共外交与商会文化的关系提出三个假设.
