An Integrative Model of Alumni Loyalty—an Empirical Validation Among Graduates From German and Russian Universities

Alumni could be considered a large source of support for their alma maters in such areas as lobbying, volunteering (e.g. mentoring), information, donations, investment, and networking. However, in order to increase alumni contribution, it is necessary to identify key factors that influence alumni loyalty. In this article, the authors develop an integrative model of intention to alumni loyalty (IAL model), which proposes that alumni loyalty is determined by the main model dimensions of relationship quality, philanthropic effect, and discretionary collaborative and student dropout behavior. In order to validate the proposed model structure, the authors test the IAL model using the structural equation modeling approach and empirical data from a survey of leading German and Russian universities. The results indicate that a predisposition to charity, benefits from alumni association, and quality of teaching are crucial for intention to alumni loyalty for both Russian and German universities. Suggestions for the work of alumni associations are derived from the findings.

论价值链管理与会计信息化的联结性

本文认为,没有信息技术的运用,没有企业信息化及会计信息化的推广实施,价值链管理就失去了技术支撑,没有价值链管理理论的创新,会计信息化的发展就没有了动力.文章提出,价值链管理对会计信息化具有促进性、依存性和联结的经济性.促进性主要表现为促进会计管理理论创新、会计信息系统优化和以价值增值为核心的业务流程变革;依存性主要表现为实现价值链管理目标要依赖于会计信息化技术平台和信息化下的会计实时控制;联结的经济性表现为价值链上各联盟企业的多形式合作、交易成本及核心企业内部管理成本的降低与价值链会计管理信息化的实现.     

Knowledge and training in family firms of the European periphery: Spain in the eighteenth to twentieth centuries

This article is a first attempt to explore the relationship between training and entrepreneurship in Spanish family firms. It examines changes and continuities over time, and relates the evolution of the training practices of Spanish family firms to the technical and economic conditions of the first and second industrial revolutions. The article demonstrates the interaction betweeen technical and educational ideas, the creative adaptation to the entrepreneurial needs of regions and economic sectors, and institutional conditions. It is organised in three main sections. The first briefly introduces new institutional and sociological theories applied to the study of the formation of business groups. The second summarises existing literature and research that deals with knowledge transference and business training in Spanish family firms, and provides a general survey of informal and formal business education in eighteenth to twentieth-century Spain. The third presents case studies of changing training practices in big and old family firms, and relates this evidence with theoretical and institutional insights.     

NASD Rule 2110 and the VA Linux IPO

On December 9, 1999, VA Linux issued shares to the public and left over $900 million on the table for investors. In the prospectus, the investment banker Credit Suisse First Boston (CSFB) stated it would receive a 7% gross spread as its compensation for underwriting the shares. Yet the SEC alleges some investors paid enormous commissions to CSFB in the form of a kick-back immediately after obtaining the IPO shares. Hence, CSFB had an economic interest in the IPO and there was not a full distribution of shares. This apparent violation of NASD Rule 2110 raises questions as to the credibility of the financial markets.     

通信标准必要专利跨领域许可FRAND义务研究

在通信标准必要专利跨领域许可的进程中，通信产业与标准产品产业就供应链上的许可模式存在分歧。回溯分歧的发生背景和诉讼呈现可知，该分歧的实质为FRAND义务分歧，且应被锚定为终端级自由许可和组件级优先许可两种模式的争议。经总体检视，终端级许可将引致上游供应商实施行为法律确定性缺失、高交易成本困境与专利劫持的潜在风险，组件级许可则具有提升许可效率和抑制专利劫持的合理性，然而组件级优先许可义务的设定不符合比例原则。SEP持有人在有权自由选择许可层级的基础上，应充分履行包含FRAND谈判义务与SEP开放义务的FRAND义务，以消除前述风险。SEP持有人违反FRAND谈判义务的，将受SEP侵权不停止规则的规制，SEP开放义务则依托利益第三人条款的明确约定或合同解释得到履行。

MNEs and the practice of international business diplomacy

Scholars of international relations and international political economy have long documented international business diplomacy (IBD) as a practice of multinational enterprises (MNEs), although the specific practices involved have not been consistently established in international business scholarship. We apply "practice theory" to position IBD within the realm of MNEs’ global non-market strategy (NMS), arguing that IBD constitutes a set of practices in the implementation of global NMS, and that the most appropriate practices depend upon two key dimensions of the global institutional governance regime faced by the MNEs: the governance level and the degree of rule formality.     

民间借贷案件中夫妻共同债务的认定准则研究——以《婚姻法司法解释(二)》第24条为分析对象

《婚姻法司法解释(二)》第24条确立了夫妻共同债务推定规则,虽然有效防止了夫妻双方欺诈债权人的情况发生,但是由于它过于注重交易安全保护债权人的权益,举证责任分配不合理,在实践中极易发生债权人与举债人恶意串通侵害非举债方利益的情形,引发不公平的结果。     

Monetary Policy,Neutrality, and the Environment

We study the interaction between monetary/fiscal policies in a Ramsey–Sidrauski model augmented with the “Green Golden Rule.” We demonstrate conditions whereby monetary and fiscal policy under different utility and preference assumptions are or are not environmentally neutral. Despite its nonseparability in utility, we demonstrate that money is environmentally neutral. Policy impacts the environment via the marginal rate of transformation rather than the marginal rate of substitution between consumption and environment. Fiscal policies under a balanced budget are environmentally nonneutral. Only under a nonbalanced budget, when deficits are monetized, is money environmentally nonneutral. Under cash-in-advance and transactions costs, money is environmentally nonneutral.
