领先企业科技创新能力评价指标体系的构建及应用

着重于实用性、可操作性原则,结合对领先企业的认识,提出了"领先企业创新能力"应同时包含科学创新能力的概念。以此为基础,建立了由4大因素、44个具体指标构成的、定性与定量相结合的企业科技创新能力评价指标体系。而后,选择AHP方法,针对领先企业评价指标的内涵,给出了评价的具体方法和步骤。最后,以洛阳市17家骨干企业为例,验证了本文方法的效果。     

客源地出游力的社会经济现象假说——基于中国国内旅游出游力研究

本文提出了"客源地社会经济属性决定其出游力大小"的假说,并以中国国内旅游出游力为例进行实证分析.在对中国31个省、直辖市、自治区的21个社会经济变量因子分析的基础上,验证了研究假说,得出旅游本质上是一种社会经济现象.通过引入三角图解法,将中国31个省、直辖市、自治区的出游力在社会经济规模因子、居民生活水平因子、对外联系水平因子等3个维度上进行分解,探寻中国省际出游力的区域差异.并采用ArcGIS样紊曲线差值法,研究发现中国省际出游力地域空间形态整体呈现"三级阶梯状",与中国三大阶梯分界线大致吻合,累计70%的旅游出游力集中在第三阶梯.中国存在"四大旅游客源地":冀鲁豫、苏浙沪、鄂湘粤和四川.     

动态能力核心构成及其功效模型探究

动态能力是一种新的战略分析框架。研究人员和经理人的一个根本问题是理解动态能力,即重新配置资源以应对动荡环境的经营能力。动态能力一直被视为抽象。动态能力的三大核心构成要素分别是学习与吸收能力、协调整合能力与创新能力。     

When bad news is sugarcoated: Information distortion,organizational search and the behavioral theory of the firm

Most work in strategy and organization theory assumes that performance feedback is straightforward to interpret and truthfully reported. We raise the following question: How might the systematic distortion of negative performance information affect organizational learning and future performance? We formulate a model where (1) members do not always report the truth about what they know about their performance level, especially when performance is below aspiration and (2) their propensity to distort information is subject to social influence. We find that organizations that are characterized by a high level of information distortion tend to perform more poorly but that the effect of a low rate of sugarcoating may, in some conditions, be more benign than the literatures seem to suggest.

Outward foreign direct investment by emerging market firms: A resource dependence logic

This study examines and extends the resource dependence logic of diversification for a better understanding of outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) activities by emerging market firms. We contend that the diversification logic is bounded by state ownership, an important but less considered component of interdependence. Our empirical results, based on panel data analysis of Chinese listed firms, suggest that the level of interdependence between Chinese and foreign firms in China in multiple forms, including symbiotic, competitive, and partner interdependencies, is positively associated with the level of the Chinese firms' OFDI activities. However, Chinese firms with higher levels of state ownership are less susceptible to the pressures imposed by foreign firms to invest abroad. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Competition‐driven repositioning

We study competition as an impetus for firms to reposition—to abandon their current positioning strategy and adopt a new one. We predict that as a strong firm moves closer, competition erodes the profitability of situated firms and prompts them to reposition. We expect this effect is pronounced the greater difference in competitive strength. However, we expect that countervailing forces exist such that the viability of alternative positions and the opportunity cost of abandoning a current position mitigate this effect. Evidence from a natural experiment in China's satellite television industry supports our hypotheses. This research adds to the existing literature on repositioning, which emphasizes the phenomenon as opportunity‐driven, and to the competitive interaction literature, which typically does not distinguish between noncounterattack strategies.

Firm litigation risk and the insurance value of corporate social performance

This paper advances the risk management perspective that superior social performance enhances firm value by serving as an ex ante valuable insurance mechanism. We posit that good social performance is more valuable as an insurance mechanism for firms with higher litigation risks. Moreover, value generation of corporate social performance (CSP) depends on whether a firm has gained pragmatic legitimacy (i.e., a firm's financial health) and moral legitimacy (i.e., whether or not a firm operates in a socially contested industry) among its stakeholders. We find that the value of CSP as insurance against litigation risk is practically significant, adding 2 to 4 percent to firm value. But CSP is less likely to create value if the firm is in financial distress or is operating in socially contested industries. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Overcoming localization of knowledge — the role of professional service firms

The literature on organizational learning asserts that external learning is often limited geographically and technologically. We scrutinize to what extent organizations acquire external knowledge by accessing external knowledge repositories. We argue that professional service firms (PSFs) grant access to nonlocalized knowledge repositories and thereby not only facilitate external learning but also help to overcome localization. Focusing on patent law firms, we test our predictions using a unique dataset of 544,820 pairs of European patent applications. Analyzing patterns of knowledge flows captured in patent citations, we find that accessing a PSF's repository facilitates the acquisition of external knowledge. As the effect is more pronounced for knowledge that is distant to a focal organization, we conclude that having access to a knowledge repository compensates for localization disadvantages.

Socioemotional wealth and IPO underpricing of family firms

Socioemotional wealth (SEW), i.e., the noneconomic utility a family derives from its ownership position in a firm, is the primary reference point for family firms. Family firms are willing to sacrifice economic gains in order to preserve their noneconomic utility. Thus, we argue that family firms sacrifice IPO proceeds by choosing higher IPO underpricing than nonfamily firms if underpricing helps them protect their SEW. Our empirical results, based on a sample of 153 German IPOs, support our hypothesis. On average, family firms have 10 percentage points more IPO underpricing than nonfamily firms.
