Value creation through stakeholder synergy

Our “stakeholder synergy” perspective identifies new value creation opportunities that are especially effective strategically because a single strategic action (1) increases different types of value for two or more essential stakeholder groups simultaneously, and (2) does not reduce the value already received by any other essential stakeholder group. This result is obtainable because multiple potential sources of value creation exist for each essential stakeholder group. Actions that meet these criteria increase the size of the value “pie” available for essential stakeholder groups, and thereby serve to attract exceptional stakeholders and obtain their increasing effort and commitment. The stakeholder synergy perspective extends stakeholder theory further into the strategy realm, and offers insights for realizing broader value creation that is more likely to produce sustainable competitive advantage.

能源与产业结构调整下我国工业碳排放峰值调节机制研究

随着工业化和城市化进程的加快,我国碳减排压力与日俱增。当前我国碳排放主要呈现以工业碳排放为主、西部地区工业碳排放增长速度最快、第三产业的碳减排效果优于第二产业的特点。文章通过构建工业碳排放峰值LEAP模型,设置基准情形（BAU）和结构调整情景（SA）,并将产业和能源结构设置为高、低模式两种情景,分析我国工业排放峰值调节机制。研究结论为：（1）我国工业碳排放量在2035年达到峰值,未来工业碳排放量呈现倒U型变化趋势。（2）产业结构调整能够有效降低我国的工业碳排放峰值,但对峰值出现的时间不影响。（3）能源结构调整对降低工业碳排放量具有显著效果且对第二产业影响效果最为显著;能源结构调整对工业碳排放量峰值时间也没有影响。     

企业推广排污权交易的可行性研究

排污权交易(Ernission trading)是一种基于市场(Market-based)的环境政策。本文坚持以科学的发展观，来研究经济发展与环境保护的协调关系，目的是实现环境资源和环境容量的可持续利用。本文分析了企业的排污行为决策，并将环境资源和环境容量的稀缺性纳入排污权交易价格之中。通过价格这个经济杠杆去调节人们对环境资源和环境容量的利用，反映于企业为其排污行为所作的选择，进而论述企业推进排污权交易的可行性。     

基于作业成本法和经济增加值的产品成本

作业成本法相对于传统成本法具有不可比拟的优越性。但是作业成本法所核算的也是一种不完全成本,并没有包括资本成本。本文将尝试借助作业成本法的思路将相关的资本成本追溯到产品成本中去,借此正确评估产品为企业创造的价值,并进而为定价、内部管理等决策提供更为精确的信息。     

公允价值会计处理研究——债务重组问题

财政部的1998年、2001年、2006年的企业会计准则对债务重组计量的规定由公允价值到账面价值再回归公允价值。文中集中介绍并对比这三代准则对债务重组的会计处理的规定,重点从公允价值的计量特点入手逐一论证分析其应用于债务重组的合理性,并从实际计量和财务报告方面提出了个人的几点建议。     

Information systems and technology sourcing strategies of e-Retailers for value chain enablement

In the e-Retail industry, a well-designed IT infrastructure is essential in creating a tightly integrated value chain and delivering high quality service. With intense competition for market share and profits, information systems and technology (IST) sourcing decisions are becoming increasingly important to e-Retail firms to support continued growth and market responsiveness. Drawing on the contingency theory, we examine organizational and environmental factors that influence an e-Retailer's IST sourcing strategy of make versus buy in enabling its value chain activities, and we also look at firm-level performance impacts of IST sourcing decisions that involve bundling across value chain activities. We test the proposed model and hypotheses using a panel data set of 307 firms over the period of 2006–2010. The results show that firms that make transformative IT investments tend to source a smaller portion of IST for their e-Retail value chain activities than firms that pursue automate or informate as their strategic role for IT investment. Capabilities are positively associated with IST sourcing. Firms experienced in e-Retail are more likely to build rather than buy their IST. In addition, we find mimicking behavior for IST sourcing among firms in the same merchandizer category. We find that IT strategic role is strongly associated with growth metric, whereas sourcing decisions predominantly impact operational performance measures. There is partial evidence that alignment between IT strategic role and IST sourcing decisions results in better performance effects. Moreover, complementary IST sourcing of synergistic marketing and sales activities positively impacts Web sales and conversion rate, but the sourcing combination of logistics, operations, and sales activities is associated with lower Web sales and conversion rate.

Safer Guildford

There has been an increasing trend in recent years for public agencies to work in partnership with each other and with commercial organizations, which has presented special managerial issues and problems. The Crime and Disorder Act 1998 gave the police and local authorities a statutory duty to work in partnership in order to promote and improve community safety. One such partnership is Safer Guildford, which was formed before the legislation came into force and which consequently already had a range of community safety initiatives in place. However, the partnership still had to comply with the new legislation and had to conduct an audit of crime and disorder in its area and publish a strategy for dealing with it. By examining the progress of Safer Guildford using a management perspective, a number of lessons can be drawn that will inform the future management of community safety partnerships.     

Social Return on Investment (SROI) and Performance Measurement

Abstract

Social enterprises are being promoted as responsive and innovative way to deliver public services. As part of this promotion, these organizations are being required to demonstrate the social and economic value they generate. Social return on investment (SROI) is a performance measurement tool currently being encouraged to capture this impact. This paper draws on survey and interview data to analyse how SROI is used and understood in health and social care settings. It indicates that despite being accepted as an internationally recognized measurement tool for social enterprise, SROI is underused and undervalued due to practical and ideological barriers.
