制度支持、公司创业与企业绩效

以制度支持为切入点,探索了公司创业能否在政府和企业竞争优势之间起到中介作用,提出了一个有调节变量的中介模型,检验了不正当竞争和技术能力在整个过程中的调节作用。京津冀地区285家企业样本的实证结果基本支持了假设模型：制度支持显著增强了企业绩效,公司创业在二者之间起到了部分中介作用;不正当竞争对制度支持与公司创业之间的关系以及公司创业的中介效应具有显著负向调节作用;技术能力对制度支持与公司创业、公司创业与企业绩效之间的关系以及公司创业的中介效应都具有显著正向调节作用。     

二元技术能力、进化创业行为与创业绩效:多重中介模型检验

以渐进寻优、不断迭代为特点的进化创业行为是企业面对复杂多变环境获取竞争优势的重要行为逻辑,一直未受到重视。现有研究主要聚焦于进化创业行为的概念、基本特征和多维构面的理论分析,对进化创业行为的技术能力基础的探索较少。而现有对创业行为的技术能力基础的分析多关注于物理技术能力,较少关注于社会技术能力,更别说探索进化创业行为的多重中介作用在二元技术能力转化为创业绩效过程中的积极效应。文章遵循\"能力-行为-绩效\"的基本逻辑思路,构建进化创业行为对二元技术能力与创业绩效关系影响的多重中介效应模型。基于258份创业企业的调研数据,通过分层回归分析法和结构方程模型进行实证检验。检验结果显示：进化创业行为在二元技术能力与创业绩效之间起到完全中介效应。（1）微创新、风险投资行为在物理技术能力与创业绩效之间起到完全中介作用,而战略更新在物理技术能力与创业绩效之间的中介作用不显著;（2）微创新、战略更新在社会技术能力与创业绩效之间起到完全中介作用,而风险投资行为在社会技术能力与创业绩效之间的中介作用不显著。研究结果丰富了进化创业行为的现有研究,为建立以进化创业行为为核心的中小企业更新与试错机制提供丰富的理论指导。     

装备制造企业的动态能力体系研究

在技术快速变化的开放经济环境下,装备制造企业如何强化组织和战略管理能力以获取竞争优势是当前的一项艰巨任务。结合动态能力理论,依据装备制造产业的特征和企业的特点,提出了应从战略能力、适应能力和创新能力着重培育装备制造企业的动态能力体系。通过学习、协调整合和重构实现装备制造企业动态能力形成的核心流程;并进一步指出企业知识的链接、管理技能和简单化原则是发展和部署装备制造企业动态能力的主要驱动因素。对于在全球化开放的市场环境下,装备制造企业如何发展并获取持续的竞争优势具有重要的实践指导意义。     

Winning through innovation and marketing: Lessons from Australia and Vietnam

We examine the role of innovation and marketing, two functional capabilities that have the capacity to play a major role in creating superior marketplace performance in firms. Our study of the two capabilities and firms' marketplace performance also takes into account the contribution of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and market orientation (MO) to our focal functional capabilities and marketplace performance. The results of a study of firms in Australia and Vietnam show innovation capability, marketing capability mediate the effects of the firm's MO on its marketplace performance. The results also show that the interaction of innovation and marketing capabilities significantly influences firms' marketplace performance more than they do individually. Finally, our results show that MO partially mediates the relationship between EO and innovation and marketing capabilities.     

WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS: RESOURCE COMMITMENT,CAPABILITIES, AND ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE

Modern warehousing firms and distribution centers are overwhelmed with information related to the flows and storage of goods and services. The efficient and effective utilization of logistics‐related information can enhance firms' ability to reduce costs while simultaneously improving customer satisfaction. Warehouse management systems (WMS) are frequently implemented and used with these goals in mind. The current research examines resource‐based empirical justification for the pursuit and implementation of WMS. In addition, a research agenda is offered to guide future research efforts related to WMS and the broader area of logistics information systems (LIS).     

Transferring exploration and production activities within the UK's upstream oil and gas industry: a capabilities perspective

Following Richardson (1972), capabilities comprise tacit, personal, subjective and context-specific knowledge that may be shared in practice only with difficulty across small, task oriented groups within firms or other types of organisation, and are expressed in the form of activities. The definition has been influential, and its focus on tacit knowledge has, arguably, encouraged research activities in the form of studies adopting experimental and simulation techniques, while providing less impetus for complementary empirical inquiry. This paper presents an empirical inquiry into an aspect of the development of capabilities in the UK's upstream oil and gas industry promoted by the changing organisation of activities across oil companies and contracting and supply companies. The main argument is that researchers can gain partial and subjective access to capabilities – distinct from activities – because individuals involved in the industry articulate and codify understandings of capabilities through practical theorising and commercial experimenting. Such articulation and codification plays an important role in the development of capabilities in industrial contexts.     

A new methodology for multidimensional poverty measurement based on the capability approach

We propose a methodology based on the use of clustering techniques derived from data analysis and multi-attribute decision analysis methods aiming at purposeful multidimensional poverty measurement. Our contribution to methodological knowledge insists on the necessity to build “meaningful measurements” for policy making and policy implementation. Our standpoint underlines the necessity to consider the problem of poverty measurement as a decision problem and to tackle its measurement issue with that in mind. We also show that such an exercise can be useful to develop a better operational definition of poverty and to solve the aggregation issues.     

企业外部能力与突变创新

在动态能力理论和产业组织理论的基础上,本文分析了企业构建组织外部能力与突变创新的关系,从政治战略观点的角度提出了两种动态能力,即：影响政府的能力和影响行业的能力。其中,影响政府的能力与突变创新具有倒U型关系;影响行业的能力对突变创新具有促进作用;影响政府的能力与影响行业的能力对于企业突变创新的作用是互补的。
