Opportunity sets and uncertain consequences

This paper provides an axiomatic approach to the problem of ranking opportunity sets with respect to the degree of uncertainty regarding possible consequences of the available actions. In many choice situations, the items that can be selected from a menu of possible choices (the objects of choice) do not coincide with the consequences they induce (the objects a decision-maker ultimately cares about). Thus, uncertainty regarding the consequences of the choices may be present. Two orderings that rank menus on the basis of the degree of uncertainty they represent are characterized.     

社会化网络环境下关键用户识别与产品知识扩散研究

随着社会化商务时代的到来,越来越多的商家意识到消费者网络对产品扩散的重要性,消费者网络节点重要性评价成为营销领域研究的重要内容。传统社会网络节点评价方法考虑了网络的局部拓扑结构,忽略了节点间的相互影响,PageRank考虑了来自邻居的影响力但忽视了节点间本身的重要性。提出了将社会网络中心性与PageRank方法相结合的消费者网络节点价值评价指标构建方法,基于现实数据构建了消费者网络,通过相似性算法对评价算法进行了讨论,运用SIS模型研究了不同节点的产品知识扩散效果,发现网络节点重要性与产品知识扩散显著相关,WCR算法优于传统中心性指标。     

论我国企业核心竞争力的辨识和培育

概括了国内外企业理论中有关企业核心竞争力研究的主要成果并指出了其中的不足之处,进而明确了本文的研究方向,即,从两个方面展开对企业核心竞争力的研究,一方面从有关概念、力的空间分布、分布的层次和力的整合四个角度来辨识企业的核心竞争力,为我国企业辨识自己的核心竞争力提供科学的工具;另一方面,根据对企业核心竞争力的辨识,从企业集团的核心竞争力现状的调查研究、构建和完善企业集团竞争力体系、明确增强企业集团竞争力的方法路径等三个方面设计出了如何培育我国企业的核心竞争力的路径和方法.     

众包参与程度与关键资源协同共享关系研究

针对现有研究对众包模式如何实现关键资源协同共享缺乏有效论证,尝试解析价值获取理论和商业模式的经典模型,通过提炼重要影响因素,构建基于价值认同的众包模式关键资源协同共享理论模型。在此基础上,针对发包方和接包方开发专用量表,面向真实参与众包项目的网络用户发放体验问卷,运用SmartPLS3.0对发包方结构方程模型与接包方结构方程模型进行模拟,并进行bootstrapping迭代。分析结果表明,众包参与程度与资源协同共享、价值认同感显著正相关,价值认同感和资源协同共享显著正相关,价值认同感为众包参与程度和资源协同共享的不完全中介变量,市场竞争强度对众包参与程度和资源协同共享没有直接调节效应。

Generous actors,selfish actions: markets with other-regarding preferences

This paper points out that classical competitive outcomes arise in two different market environments even if agents have non-classical preferences. Consumers with separable, other-regarding preferences behave as if they have classical preferences in competitive equilibrium. These outcomes need not be efficient, but under plausible conditions will be efficient following a redistribution of income. In simple double-auction environments competitive outcomes arise under a wide range of assumptions on preferences even without assuming separability. I discuss the importance of the domain of definition of preferences and how the preferences present in the economy influence the performance of the trading institution.

Not measuring sustainable value at all: A response to Kuosmanen and Kuosmanen

In their article in this issue of Ecological Economics, Kuosmanen and Kuosmanen [Kuosmanen, T. and Kuosmanen, N., this issue. How Not to Measure Sustainable Value (and How One Might). Ecological Economics.] aim to criticise the measurement of Sustainable Value as proposed in our previous research. By adopting a production perspective and based on a productive efficiency analysis, they claim that the proposed way of measuring Sustainable Value represents an invalid simplification that rests on restrictive and unrealistic assumptions. Our response is to show that their argument rests on a fundamental misspecification of the Sustainable Value approach. We identify three conceptual misfits: a mismatch in the perspective of the analysis, a misspecification of opportunity costs and the irrelevance of production functions. Ultimately, Kuosmanen and Kuosmanen's train of thought rests entirely within the realm of productive efficiency analysis, whereas Sustainable Value builds on the foundations of financial economics and consequently adopts a macro rather than a firm perspective. It is thus not surprising that the findings of Kuosmanen and Kuosmanen appear to contradict the Sustainable Value approach. However, this is due to their fundamental misspecification of the Sustainable Value approach. As a result, rather than providing novel insights into how Sustainable Value might be measured in a better way, they do not measure Sustainable Value at all.     

Organising new business in a turbulent context: Opportunity discovery and effectuation for IJV development in transition markets

Research on entrepreneurship has suggested entrepreneurial phenomena to take place in a wide variety of contexts that deal with new venture emergence. Opportunity discovery and effectuation are seen as the essence of entrepreneurship. The present study examines entrepreneurial behaviour in the organising of an international joint venture (IJV) in Polish transition markets. The paper aims to answer the following question: How is an international joint venture organised in turbulent context through opportunity-discovery and effectuation behaviours? Based on theoretical analysis and a longitudinal case study, we illustrate the organising of an international joint venture in transition markets through specific behaviours of opportunity discovery and effectuation. We show especially the relationship-based nature of all the behaviours. The study advances international entrepreneurship research by emphasising the intertwinedness of the entrepreneurial behaviours with the drastic developments in the transition markets and the evolution of the IJV partnership.     

How does uncertainty impact opportunity development in internationalization?

The features of the internationalization of emerging market multinational companies (EMNCs) create a laboratory for extending theory. In this paper, we argue that a high level of asymmetry between prior knowledge and a non-incremental commitment, such as an acquisition, lies at the core of understanding these types of internationalization processes. Our proposed theoretical view is that while some uncertainties in opportunity development are known to the firms and can be managed by available knowledge, disruptive commitments can result in complexes of unstable and unilineal dynamics that bring about unexpected – and hence unforeseeable – uncertainties. These uncertainties may be a source of future unintended consequences that will have an impact on the firm as the internationalization process unfolds. This view is used for analysis of a longitudinal case study concerning the acquisition of a Swedish firm, Vargön Alloys, by the Turkish corporation Yildirim Group, focusing on the opportunity discovery and exploitation period between 2008 and 2013. By dividing uncertainty into two types (foreseeable and unforeseeable) and analysing the hidden problems that emerged after the sudden fusion of the two networks, the study nuances understanding of the emergent and non-orderly nature of the internationalization process as it unfolds. From a process point of view, the study may aid deeper understanding of complications when discovering and exploiting opportunities.
