Managing Competing Institutional Logics in Public–Private Joint Ventures

Abstract

Cross-sector inter-organizational partnerships, alliances and networks have become extremely popular. Yet, we may expect competing societal-level institutional logics to play an important role in cross-sector alliances, hence making their management central to alliance success. This article responds to the general research question: How do participants of public–private joint ventures manage competing institutional logics? Based on in-depth interviews we empirically characterize two competing logics in a cross-sector collaborative and identify two practices used to cope with them.     

Contract,cooperation, and performance in international joint ventures

This study examines how contract, cooperation, and performance are associated with one another within international joint ventures (IJVs). We argue that contract and cooperation are not substitutes but complements in relation to IJV performance. An IJV contract provides an institutional framework guiding the course of cooperation, while cooperation overcomes the adaptive limits of contracts. Our analysis of 293 IJVs in a dynamic market demonstrates that previous cooperation bolsters contractual adaptability, which in turn nurtures current cooperation between the same partners. We find that contract completeness and cooperation drive IJV performance both independently and interactively. When contracts are more complete, cooperation contributes more to performance. Contract and cooperation differ in their quadratic effects such that the contribution of contract completeness to performance declines as completeness increases but the contribution of cooperation remains linear.

民营经济发展与“重新建立个人所有制”

马克思的“重新建立个人所有制”是“联合起来的个人所有制”,是一种公有制,是劳动者个人能完整地享有所有者权益的所有制。在缺乏自主联合条件的社会主义初级阶段,民营经济对公有制经济的发展起促进作用,但还不是在社会共同占有基础上的个人所有制。要在民营经济与国有经济相协调的过程中不断探索公有制的实现形式。     

汇率制度与人民币汇率制度改革

汇率制度可分为完全固定汇率、浮动汇率和中间汇率制度。目前我国名义上实行的是以市场供求为基础的、单一的、有管理的浮动汇率制度,这种汇率制度实际上是钉住美元的。虽然这种汇率制度是适合我国实际情况的汇率安排,但是它具有明显的缺点,目前需要在汇率形成机制等方面进行一定的改革,完善真正意义上的管理浮动汇率制度。     

特殊会计事项对编制现金流量表的影响

销售商品提供劳务收到的现金和购买商品接受劳务支付的现金这两个会计项目的填制应从权责发生制调整到现金收付制,并且要考虑到一些特殊项目的影响,对其作适当的调整;"内部往来"等表外科目在编制现金流量时应分成三部分经营活动、投资活动、筹资活动,然后用总额法兼净额法进行调整.     

Intended and unintended termination of international joint ventures

This study proposes that international joint ventures (IJVs) are terminated either when the initial purposes of the formation of the IJV have been achieved (intended termination), or when unanticipated contingencies that emerge in the external, internal, or inter‐partner conditions after the establishment of the IJV impede the continuation of its operation (unintended termination). Our study examines the factors that affect intended and unintended termination and the longevity of IJVs. The findings show that approximately 90 percent of all IJV terminations are unintended and 10 percent intended, and that the frequency of intended termination and unintended termination varies noticeably depending on the initial purposes of formation. This suggests that the termination of IJVs is significantly contingent on their formation. The findings also show that the longevity of IJVs varies according to the initial purposes of formation, the initial conditions under which the IJV is formed, and the types of unanticipated contingencies that it encounters. The key theoretical issues and practical implications of the distinction between the intended and unintended termination of IJVs are also discussed. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

浅议城市房地产税中土地使用权的计税依据

城市房地产税的计税依据是企业账载的房屋原值,土地使用权是房屋价值的重要组成部分。由于土地和房屋的使用年限不同,并且存在道路、绿化等独立于房屋之外的土地,如何在时间和空间上界定城市房地产税中土地使用权的计税依据,本文结合税法及企业会计制度的现行规定,根据城市房地产税的立法精神,对此问题进行了阐述。     

The Demand for Hedging and the Value of Hedging Opportunities

Hedging strategies typically assume that hedging is costless and that only one futures market exists. When these assumptions are dropped, the demand for hedging is shown to depend on basis risk, price risk, and the hedger's risk preference. The marginal and incremental value of hedging opportunities are computed for the general cases of one and two markets and applied to the specific case of Pennsylvania dairy input hedging.
