The relative importance of journals used in operations management research A citation analysis

Journal rankings are important for a variety of reasons, most importantly as the basis of academic tenure and promotion decisions. A common approach in other fields is the citations methodology which is used in this study to determine the relative importance of various operations management (OM) journals. The citations analysis noted the frequency that all other journals are cited in Decision Sciences, Journal of Operations Management, and Management Science during the period 1992 to 1994. Rankings are provided based on total citations, citations per article, and citations per words published. The study shows that the journals with the most importance to OM research are Management Science, Decisions Sciences and Operations Research. Other journals important to OM research are the Harvard Business Review, Journal of Operations Management, and IIE Transactions.     

管理创新的"力场"分析

管理创新是在各种力的交互作用下产生的一种不规则性活动,只有当管理创新的动力大于阻力并取得支配地位时,管理创新行为才可能发生.管理创新的动力主要来源于需求拉力、竞争压力、利益内驱力、科技推力及政策激励力五个方面,而管理创新的阻力则主要来源于人的因素、组织的因素以及物质技术条件等.只有明确管理创新的"力场"构成,才能有目的地增强动力、克服阻力,实现增"正"减"负",从而推动管理创新活动的顺利进行.     

Camouflaged Indicators of Earnings Management†

Abstract

We argue that, in response to increased scrutiny and greater attention to accruals versus sales, firms become more likely to engage in accrual conversion (AC) cash management aimed at aligning cash and accruals with earnings and sales (e.g. by factoring of receivables). In doing so, they reduce the statistical power of standard indicators of accrual-based earnings management – in effect, camouflaging their earnings management activity. This proposition is of interest because many influential papers on earnings management have utilized accrual-based indicators to reach their conclusions. Our results indicate that firms indeed became more likely to engage in AC cash management after the passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), and that this tendency was particularly pronounced among firms with strong incentives (or enhanced ability) to perform and hide earnings management. In particular, our findings suggest that the post-SOX decrease in standard measurements of accrual-based earnings management, identified in prior research, is partially attributable to firms’ increased engagement in AC cash management activity.

论我国会计国际化的模式选择

随着经济全球化浪潮的掀起,作为商业语言的会计同样面临着国际化的抉择。本文针对目前我国会计国际化的不同观点,在对我国会计准则与国际财务报告准则之间差异进行比较、分析的基础上,以会计信息使用者及其需求为出发点,提出了我国会计国际化的模式选择。     

构建会计计量准则若干问题探讨

现行财务会计模式是以历史成本会计计量为特征的,会计计量问题没有引起会计理论界和会计准则制定机构的重视。我国新颁布的《企业会计准则》即将实施,虽然与国际惯例实现了趋同,但还存在缺陷。本文就制订我国会计计量准则提出建议。

对国有企业管理问题的深层思考

国有企业一直存在着对管理既重视又落后的矛盾现象。其主要原因就在于国有企业在管理思想、管理体制和管理模式等方面还存在着一系列问题。主要表现在思想上存在着将管理务虚化、庸俗化、条件化和理想化的误区；在管理体制上存在着经济组织行政化、管理制度不规范的现象；在管理模式上存在着靠感觉行事、靠经验管理的粗放型色彩。这些深层次的矛盾和问题，直接影响着国有企业的经济效益和市场竞争能力。
