How do Scores of DIT and MJT Differ? A Critical Assessment of the Use of Alternative Moral Development Scales in Studies of Business Ethics

The construct of Cognitive Moral Development (CMD) has drawn much attention in the study of business ethics for over two decades. The Defining Issues Test (DIT) has made a significant contribution to the literature as an easy-to-administer CMD instrument, and the Moral Judgment Test (MJT), an alternative scale, has also been used widely especially in Europe. The two scales differ in their approaches to measuring CMD, focusing on stage preference (DIT) and stage consistency (MJT), yet empirical comparisons have been scarce. The present research empirically compares the two scales in terms of their correspondence with ethical ideology as a reference scale, and it demonstrates a clear distinction between the DIT and the MJT. Although they both aim to measure CMD, their dissimilar approaches lead to distinctly different implications.     

关于优化我国政府级次的构想

我国是世界上政府层级最多的国家,设有中央、省(自治区、直辖市)、市(自治州、地区)、县(自治县、市)、乡(民族乡、镇)五级政府。随着构建公共行政、程序行政和责任行政为主体的"服务型"政府管理体制改革的推进,这种"金字塔"型的政府级次的弊端越来越明显,减少中间层次,扩大管理幅度,构建扁平化的政府级次势在必行,即将五级政府扁平化为中央政府、省政府和基层政府的三级政府。

Consumer Believability of Information in Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) Advertising of Prescription Drugs

Direct to consumer (DTC) advertising has attracted significant research attention, yet none has focused on empirical assessments of its overall impact on U.S. consumers nationally, and tying assessment to relevant behavioral outcomes. This paper addresses the ethical issue of DTC advertising providing a balance of product and risk information that is both understandable and believable, and contributes direction to those exploring this phenomenon. Richard F. Beltramini is currently Professor of Marketing in the School of Business Administration at Wayne State University. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin, and served on the faculty of Arizona State University for fifteen years. His teaching interests include advertising and marketing management, research, and strategy. His primary research focus is on the believability of marketing communications information, and he has published in the Journal of Advertising, Journal of Advertising Research, Journal of Consumer Research, Journal of Marketing, and a variety of other journals, conference proceedings, and books as well as co-editing Gift Giving: A Research Anthology. Dr. Beltramini has served on the Editorial Review Boards of a number of academic journals, as guest editor of special issues of the Journal of Business Ethics and the International Journal of Internet Marketing and Advertising, as international president of the American Academy of Advertising, as a member of the American Advertising Federation's National Academic Committee and several other professional and business organizations, and is active as a consultant to several international organizations.

城市生活垃圾的解耦分析——来自空间计量模型的新证据

文章旨在从垃圾产生源头考察经济活动与城市生活垃圾产生量的动态关系，以此判定解耦状态。基于2004—2016年中国31个省级行政区的面板数据，运用空间杜宾模型对城市人均生活垃圾产生量与居民消费水平进行解耦分析。纳入空间因素后，城市人均生活垃圾产生量与城镇居民消费水平之间的“倒N形”曲线关系更加显著和稳健，并呈现出相对解耦，但尚未达到绝对解耦。更为重要的是，考虑空间因素之后，城市人均生活垃圾产生量的预测峰值将会推迟到来。在未来30年里，城市人均生活垃圾产生量还将持续增加，如何提升资源使用效率，实现经济发展与生活垃圾产生量的绝对解耦将是政策当局必须充分考虑的重大议题。     

Conceptual underpinnings for transformative research in a service ecosystems context to resolve social issues – framework foundations and extensions

ABSTRACT

A number of services within society are designed to improve the well-being of its members and transform lives. Some services focus on the protection and support of vulnerable members of society, for example, those suffering the effects of drug use, mental health conditions, violence or poverty. Clients of such social services may also come from minority or marginalised cultural backgrounds. Typically, social services aim to reduce disparities and enhance individual and population well-being. A major challenge for social policy-makers and social service providers is to establish and maintain constructive engagement between the social services and those they are intended to serve. Some of these vulnerable clients are deemed ‘hard-to-reach’ (HTR) by policy-makers and service providers. Yet, the transformation of lives requires the involvement of the focal actor (client) and their service or activity system, as well as the engagement of other actors, such as the social worker embedded in their service or activity system. This paper aims to further unpack a novel approach, called integrative transformative service framework. This contribution extends its conceptualisation which fuses mainly three different approaches, namely Transformative Service Research (TSR), (Cultural-Historical) Activity Theory (CHAT) and (Regulatory) Engagement Theory (RET).     

一种用于DS-CDMA基站的全数字非相干延迟锁相环

谈加权平均资本成本法在个别项目评估中的应用

现实当中,由于企业暂时无需纳税,资本结构当中债务融资比例不固定,个别项目与企业整体资产风险差异较大等因素的存在,使得直接运用加权平均资本成本(WACC)对个别项目进行价值评估和资本预算分析容易产生较大的偏差甚至可能导致错误的决策,因此,对具体项目的风险系数进行调整以正确使用WACC方法进行项目价值评估,从而使得出的结论更为可靠有效,有助于企业更好地进行项目筹资和投资决策。
