Transforming under deep uncertainty: A strategic perspective on risk management

Companies increasingly face the need for transformation in today’s rapidly changing business environment, characterized by major shifts in technology, regulation, and customer behavior. A lack of strategic risk insight and foresight leaves many incumbents insufficiently prepared in the face of such deep uncertainty. We argue that traditional risk management falls short because it predominantly focuses on strategy execution while leaving strategy formulation largely untouched. Moreover, an administrative-heavy risk management process can create strategic inertia and a misleading sense of control. In today’s dynamic business context, companies must not only increase the speed and impact of their strategy execution but also continuously explore the development of new strategies in response to disruptive events or emerging opportunities. Our research shows how leading companies develop a strategic risk management (SRM) capability to increase their resilience and agility in response to deep uncertainty. SRM takes a strategic, forward-looking perspective and focuses on strengthening processes, people, and practices for purposefully integrating risk into the strategy formulation process. This article offers a framework with three proven configurations of content and timing integration, risk management roles, and leading practices that enable effective SRM.     

创业型企业话语框架策略与合法性构建:基于成长阶段的纵向案例分析

网络信息时代的组织话语能够以较低的成本迅速传播，是创业型企业在资源局限、时间紧迫情况下实现合法化的重要工具。本研究以创业期的淘宝网（2003-2014年）为研究对象，基于其代表性广告话语，尝试刻画、剖析组织合法性的话语构建过程。基于系统功能语法与系统图像语法的多模态话语分析显示，创业型企业在初创期主要运用发挥话语框架策略构建基本的实用合法性与道德合法性，在快速扩张阶段同时运用发挥与延伸策略进一步维护、增强这两种合法性，在稳定成长期则综合运用延伸、桥接与转变策略重点构建道德合法性与认知合法性。从企业成长阶段来看，话语框架策略与组织合法性之间呈现出协同演进关系。本研究通过跨学科理论与方法丰富了关于话语与组织合法性动态关系的研究，同时为创业型企业的合法性构建带来实践启示。     

香港公屋制度对深圳的启示

解决城市中低收入居民的住房问题是建设和谐社会的重要组成部分,香港政府通过其公共房屋制度,有效地解决了居民的住房问题。但我国内地的住房保障制度建设才刚刚起步,亟待完善。深圳作为中国经济较发达的城市之一,人均收入较高,政府运作高效,与香港有着相似的地理环境,比内地其他城市更适于借鉴香港经验。深圳可以在现有的经济适用房与廉租屋制度框架下,借鉴香港经验,建立有深圳特色的住房保障体系。

城镇家庭消费金融效应的地区差异研究

本文使用各省市自治区城镇家庭借贷支出的分类面板数据,结合我国经济发展处于转轨期的特性,考察消费升级、社会保障不完善及地区发展不平衡等因素对消费的影响。研究发现各变量在对消费的影响性质和程度上均存在地区差异,社会保障、消费升级和储蓄在全国范围内均显著正相关,房贷支出和教育在中西部地区的促进作用显著,而保险在东部地区作用突出,家庭投资则均不显著。政府要扩大消费内需并改变消费金融发展的不平衡,就应把握消费升级和社会保障制度的推进时机和力度,增加中西部地区社会保障投入和教育投入,持续提高居民收入,适度放宽中西部地区的家庭房贷限制。

Marketing strategy and the efficacy of procedural justice: The mid-level marketing manager in industrial service firms

A principal challenge confronting the senior marketing team in B2B firms is how to ensure that the marketing strategies they develop are implemented effectively. The literature indicates that mid-level marketing managers' perceptions of the procedural justice within the firm may be critical in this respect. However, there has been little empirical research on this issue. The authors develop and test a conceptual model of the key drivers and consequences of marketing managers' procedural justice perceptions. The findings show that if mid-level marketing managers trust their senior marketing colleagues and simultaneously operate within moderately organic structures, then procedural justice will thrive. A consequence of this is more effective implementation of marketing strategy which, in turn, leads to increased market performance.     

What happened with the grandiose plans? Strategic plans and network realities in B2B interaction

Research concerned with business relationships and organizational levels, respectively, has addressed companies' difficulties in realizing their strategies. Studies of business relationships explain this through actions and reactions among business partners. Organizational studies note gaps between strategic and operational organizational levels in perceptions and goals. This paper combines these perspectives to obtain new insights into why company strategies may not materialize. The purpose of this paper is to describe and discuss how actor bonds on various organizational levels in business relationships affect strategy realization. The paper shows that actors on similar organizational levels representing different companies may actually share more understandings and activities than actors within the same company. The paper contributes to research on dyadic business relationships by highlighting differences in perspectives on various organizational levels, adds insights into research studying organizations by including a business-relationship aspect, and increases understanding of why strategic plans sometimes fail to succeed.
