中外智能装备产业政策比较——基于政策文本的内容分析

从政策工具和产业创新链两个维度建构智能装备产业政策的分析框架。收集2012—2018年中国、德国、美国、日本等典型国家的智能装备产业政策文本,使用内容分析法进行编码。研究发现：在智能装备产业政策上,各国均最为重视环境政策的应用;中国与其他国家呈现明显区别的是政策工具应用的种类“多而散”,环境政策工具应用最多,供给政策工具应用最少,人才政策工具并未得到充分的使用;在创新链的整个过程中,中国虽然更加重视后期阶段,但是却很少采取贸易管制政策来规范市场环境。

创新政策与企业能力驱动稀土产业链延伸的组态路径研究

驱动稀土产业链延伸不仅关系中国战略性新兴产业以及国防科技工业的健康发展,而且是应对以美国为首的西方发达国家对中国实施高科技产品技术封锁的智睿之策。从创新政策与企业能力两个层面构建了驱动稀土产业链延伸的理论分析框架,并以 44 家中国 A 股稀土产业链上市公司为研究样本,以 2017 年和 2020 年为动态观测点,运用组态思维和 fsQCA 方法,探究财政补贴、税收优惠、风险承担水平、原料保障能力、规模水平和产权属性等前因条件耦合形成的不同组态对稀土产业链延伸的影响路径及其动态演变。结果表明：单个前因条件并不构成实现稀土产业链延伸的必要条件,但是提高财政补贴、原料保障能力和规模水平在驱动稀土企业实现产业链延伸路径中发挥着较普适的重要作用;驱动稀土产业链延伸是由多个前因条件协同作用的结果,各前因条件的有效结合以“殊途同归”的方式促进稀土企业实现产业链延伸;驱动稀土企业实现产业链延伸的路径具有较为明显的动态变化特征,呈现出以单一条件主导为主向双元条件联动主导的演变趋势。研究结论拓展和深化了产业链延伸的理论框架,为制定切实可行的中国稀土产业链延伸政策提供了具有重要参考价值的理论依据。     

创新驱动安徽省产业转型升级的路径与对策

立足于全球产业结构调整的时代背景,根据安徽省创新发展现状与产业结构现状,探究产业升级过程中存在的问题。研究发现,产业基础不高、协同创新不够、高端人才缺乏、体制机制不够完善是制约创新进一步推动安徽省产业升级的主要原因。基于创新驱动安徽省产业转型升级的作用机理,按照业态去谋划和布局产业发展模式,分别从创新赋能、应用驱动、科技催生3类提出产业转型升级的路径选择,最后从深化体制机制改革、推动金融科技融合、精准落实政策支持、加大高端人才引培、加强区域分工合作等方面提出对策建议。     

Is online-to-offline customer care support essential for consumer service?

Customer satisfaction is the main pillar for convenient and profitable retailing. The retail sector continuously tried to develop new strategies to improve consumer satisfaction. It is impossible to provide each service directly to the consumer by the retailer. In this direction, the retailer establishes customer care to provide the best service to consumers. Consumer care can provide promotional or prevention services, increasing the consumer's satisfaction level. This study is developed to show the impact of retailers' customer care service for an offline-to-online retailing strategy. The demand is consumer support, advertisement, and selling price dependent. For maintaining consumer service, some free home delivery policies are offered, when consumers ordered more than a certain percentage of the amount. Finally, the total profit of this O2O retailing system is calculated by the classical optimization technique. Some special cases are discussed in the numerical section to prove the impact of customer care services. Numerical results prove that customer care support enhances the profit by 48.20%, whereas investment in the advertisement and home delivery strategy helps the retail industry to earn 44.80% and 16.74% more profit, respectively. Finally, from this study, it is clear that customer care activities are essential to increase the profit of the retailing sector.     

The impact of adopting customization policy and sustainability for improving consumer service in a dual-channel retailing

In recent decades sustainability and dual-route retailing have been adopted by many big industries. Companies are now bound to maintain such strategies that fulfill the sustainable goals developed by the United Nations. Industries face a huge penalty if carbon emissions exceed a certain boundary. Moreover, factories should maintain sufficient flow in retail chains and product quality. This paper demonstrates 3-pillar sustainability in dual channel retailing, empowering firms to integrate the financial-economic pillar with the non-financial (environmental, social, and ethical) pillar. The core product is made available through the traditional channel and customized products are through online channels. The model is enabling the customers with customization provisions where they can influence the products. Thus, as a novel approach, the article incorporates a presumed threshold limit on the product's (standard and customized) selling price difference. Due to customization, a new product is developed which needs extensive quality checks. The study introduces an investment in checking the quality of the customized product which reduces the probability of customization defects exponentially. Additionally, current research adapts the carbon emission cost, penalties charged to a firm for overshooting the limit, and social costs in a smart supply chain. It also exemplifies that production is directly proportional to financial investments in meeting sustainability objectives. The numerical analysis reflects that as production increases, penalty costs decrease at a significant rate but after reaching optimal production penalty cost again starts to increase. It is observed that the downfall of penalty is 20% more for the single-channel than dual. Adaptation of the customization policy makes the retailing strategy more cost-effective. The model exemplifies that it is more economical to adopt dual-channel retailing compared to single-channel as there is approximately a 14.0625% reduction in total cost in dual-channel retailing. Moreover, an 80% improved quality is observed with a financial investment, which improves consumer satisfaction.     

An emerging market multinational Company's internationalization: From original equipment manufacturer to global brand leader

We examine an emerging market multinational company's (EMNC's) transformation from an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to an original brand manufacturer (OBM) and global leader. Our longitudinal study of Hisense—China's largest TV company (and the world's third largest) spans three decades and involves detailed interviews with over 50 executives. We study how the company's global value chain network evolved, how it reconfigured its organization, upgraded its capabilities, and enhanced its brand reputation. We develop propositions that may contribute to improved explanations for an EMNC's internationalization sequence, development of competitive advantages, overseas management practices, and brand building.     

RESPONDING TO DISRUPTIONS IN THE SUPPLY NETWORK‐FROM DORMANT TO ACTION

Managing risks in supply networks is a complex task; more so in those supply networks where the core competence lies in dealing with natural disasters, complex emergencies, and large‐scale attacks—namely those of humanitarian, and military organizations where the price of failure can be counted in terms of the loss of life rather than, simply, reduced profits. This conceptual article examines the capabilities of these supply networks to manage such disruptions, based on their resource configuration in a dormant preparation state. The article concludes by presenting how different types of supply networks can manage large‐scale disruptions.     

LOGISTICS AND SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT APPLICATIONS WITHIN A GLOBAL CONTEXT: AN OVERVIEW

This paper reviews 726 academic research studies covering logistics and supply chain management (L'SCM) applications within a global context. Articles are analyzed according to their publication year and outlet, common themes, and countries or regions investigated. The sample was drawn from the ABI/INFORM Global database, which includes almost 1,800 journal titles. The review offers a starting point for researchers, graduate students, faculty members or practitioners examining international L'SCM applications. The article also draws attention to the wide array of global L'SCM studies conducted, their settings and viewpoints. Additionally, this paper highlights some of the most interesting works and draws attention to lesser‐researched countries and regions of the world. The overview also provides an introduction for practitioners and managers to what academic research has covered in the area of global L'SCM. Practitioners can use this review as a starting point for the identification of relevant and useful references for their particular task.
