Examining impacts of negative reviews and purchase goals on consumer purchase decision

Extensive literature has studied the impact of positive online reviews on consumers’ purchase decisions. Research on the role of negative reviews in consumer price perception is heavily under-investigated. This study examines effects of negative reviews on consumer price perception and subsequent purchase behavior while considering the moderating effect of purchase goals. Results from two experiments show that the proportion of negative reviews has stronger negative impacts on purchase decision for consumers with a purchase goal than those without. This research contributes to growing knowledge about negative online reviews and consumer goal literature and offers practical implications for online retailers.

A goal programming-discriminant function approach to the estimation of an empirical production function based on DEA results

This paper describes a new frontier estimation procedure which relies on results obtained from Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The paper reviews some of the earlier works in this area and points out potential difficulties with them. It further suggests ways to validate such developments. A procedure is constructed on the basis of a Goal Programming (GP)-Discriminant Function model developed in stages during the 1980s. A numerical example is used to illustrate the proposed procedure. Then, an extensive simulation in which the GP-based procedure is compared to three regression-based techniques is presented. The simulation results clearly indicate the superiority of the proposed technique over the regression alternatives.     

成就目标导向:三维结构的理论采纳与实证检验

成就目标导向作为个人追求成就的认知倾向,其对个体组织行为和态度的重要影响逐渐引起了当代管理学界的关注,但目前成就目标理论的本土化研究却面临成果匮乏与研究脉络难以拓展的双重困境,而这主要是由成就目标导向的结构多维演化与采用标准不一所致。聚焦当前研究困境,梳理了近30年来成就目标导向的结构演化历程,剖析了目前学术界争议的焦点,基于研究进展与现实意义诠释了成就目标导向三维结构的适用性,基于理论基础对三维构念进行了要素分析,并通过量表编制、修订与实证研究检验了三维结构的合理性。研究结果将为成就目标理论运用于本土企业管理研究带来一定启示,并为提升该理论的普适性作出一定贡献。

Management by objectives – an effective tool for teamwork?

In recent years many companies have introduced self-regulatory teamwork requiring changes in leadership behaviour and systems as well. Consequently a renewed interest has arisen in management by objectives (MBO) as a means for leading self-regulating teams. But how do MBO systems work and how effective are they? The MBO system of a company in the construction supply industry was analysed. This company had implemented MBO at team level five years ago. In order to explore the mechanisms and effects of MBO at team level a model for group goal setting was tested. One hundred and seventy-six employees in twenty-six teams participated in the study, but only twenty-one groups having objective productivity data were included in the analyses at team level. Group goal commitment and group goals moderated by task interdependence are supposed to influence group processes as a mediating variable for group effectiveness. Results do not consistently support this model. Group goals and goal commitment predict group productivity and job satisfaction but group processes mediate only the relationship to job satisfaction. The moderating effect of task interdependence could not be supported. The consequences for developing a model for MBO at team level and implementing effective MBO systems are discussed.     

Exploring the creation of systemic value for the customer in Advanced Multi-Play

This paper explores the creation of systemic value for the customer as it emerges in Advanced Multi-Play. An anomaly found in customer surveys suggested the possibility of systemic value creation at the offering level. In order to build a theoretical explanation for this anomaly, the role of intrinsic, user network and complement-network attributes is discussed, along with the concepts of complementarities, value of time and goal achievement. More daily communication goals are proposed to form a time boundary condition for an individual, which is relieved by integration providing systemic consistency, experienced as increased efficiency and convenience. As a result, one theoretical model is presented to describe the creation of customer value in the case of integrated offerings. Two propositions are derived from the model, followed by two hypotheses, which are tested. Results indicate customer value creation at the general offering level as a result of integration. The reliability and validity of cross-tabulation is concluded. Finally, suggestions for future research are presented.     

被遗忘的新进知识型员工

在组织中,新进知识员工的吸收和培育是企业未来发展的保障,对新进知识员工进行轮岗和基层锻炼也是必须要走的程序,但是越来越多的企业开始关注“被遗忘的新进知识型员工”这一特殊的群体。这类员工自进入组织之后开始进行基层的锻炼,而后便一直停留在基层,缺少了必要的上升机会。本文认为这主要是由于人力资源战略部署部门与具体用人部门在用人目标上的差异所造成的。而且经过调查发现,在人力资源战略部署部门发生变革的情况下,新进员工被遗忘的可能性更大;获得晋升的新进员工更多地依靠非正式渠道;被遗忘的新进员工的离职是企业离职率居高不下的主要原因。在此基础上,本文认为应该从战略的高度来考虑部门的用人,同时努力畅通职业发展渠道。     

实际控制人性质、政府目标与股权转让溢价——基于大宗股权协议转让的经验证据

本文以2004—2006年大宗股权协议转让公司为研究样本,以股权转让溢价间接测度控制权私有收益,研究了上市公司实际控制人性质对股权转让溢价程度的影响。研究发现政府控股公司的股权转让溢价显著低于非政府控股公司,中央政府控股公司股权转让溢价显著低于地方政府控股公司,没有发现地方政府行政级别与其所控公司的股权转让溢价存在显著关系。这些结论表明不同层级政府实际控制人的目标函数差异及利益选择偏好,是股权转让溢价程度出现横截面差异的重要原因。这些结论为我国现阶段股权分置改革建立起的自由流通交易平台的交易实质提供一个新的解读视角。
