An exploration of NGO and media efforts to influence workplace practices and associated accountability within global supply chains

This paper investigates how social and environmental non-government organisations (NGOs) use the news media in an endeavour to create changes in the social performance and associated accountability of multinational buying companies' (MBCs') supply chains located in a developing country such as Bangladesh. In this research, we explicitly seek the views of senior officers from global and local NGOs operating in Bangladesh, as well as the views of journalists from major global and local news media organisations. Our results show that social and environmental NGOs strategically use the news media in an effort to effect changes in corporate workplace and related disclosure practices. More particularly, both the NGOs and the news media representatives stated that NGOs would be relatively powerless to create change in corporate accountability without media coverage. This is the first known study to specifically address the joint and complementary role of NGOs and the news media in potentially creating changes in the social and environmental operating and disclosure practices of supply chains emanating from a developing country.     

我国县乡电商物流网络协同策略

近两年县乡电商增速明显，备受政府、传统企业、传统电商企业等重视，演变为电商行业新的蓝海。文章基于对县乡电商与物流相关资料的收集与整理，对县乡电商与物流发展现状进行了梳理，报告了县乡电商与物流发展快、增势明显，但仍处于初级阶段，面临诸多的发展阻力。通过以协同学相关理论为研究视角，将县乡电商物流看做一个整体系统，以协同理论研究县乡电商物流系统的协同发展。通过对县乡电商物流系统协同发展的阻碍因素进行剖析，反映出县乡地区存在基础设施滞后、物流网络覆盖薄弱、观念落后、政策缺失、人才匮乏等问题，这些问题已经严重阻碍了县乡电商物流系统的发展。最后，文章提出一系列具体应对措施，从县乡交通运输网络、物流基础设施、物流网络、物流环境、物流政策等系统、序参量、环境方面实现有序状态，借以推动县乡电商物流系统的协同发展。     

Labor market effects of export processing zones in the presence of unemployment

When foreign firms motivated by higher profits engage in off-shore production activities of unemployment ridden host countries, concerns increase about the possibility of exploitation of local workers. However, using a two good two factor model this paper shows that foreign firms’ engagement under the scenario actually improves the host country's structure of wages, skill composition, employment level and wage inequality which cannot be achieved under full employment in the host countries. This paper thus presents a mechanism that explains the effects of export processing zones observed in most of the transitional economies of the world. Results have practical implications for traditional structural changes expected for these economies. Although foreign firms come to earn profits, it is possible for host country workers to take a part of the rent away from the foreign firms as they are doing currently in different parts of the world.

An Assessment of the CETSCALE in a Developing Country

Abstract

Researchers have been exhorted to test the psychometric properties of instruments used in cross cultural studies and ascertain their validity and reliability in order to make the results emanating from the use of such instruments generalisable. This study answers such a call for rigorous evaluation of the psychometric properties of cross-national measures that are valid and reliable. The study reports the findings of an assessment of the psychometric properties of the consumer ethnocentric tendencies scale (CETSCALE) in the developing West African country of Ghana. More specifically, the study explores CETSCALE's unidimensionality, internal consistency, and discriminant validity. The findings of our study are both consistent and inconsistent with the extant literature. In particular, while our analysis indicates that the CETSCALE is internally consistent and exhibits discriminant validity, it is not unidimensional as has been reported in earlier studies. Marketing and research implications of the study are suggested.     

技术差距、资源分配与后发大国经济增长方式转换

经济增长的主要驱动要素的转变是经济增长方式转变的内核,而技术差距是影响经济资源配置格局和配置效率的关键变量。基于拓展的内生增长模型分析资源最优分配路径发现:经济增长方式随技术水平的提升从"生产性投资驱动"到"研发驱动"、从"模仿主导"到"创新主导"逐步转换。基于我国省级面板数据的经验分析表明:在不同技术水平的区域,生产性投资与研发投资、模仿与创新对经济增长和技术进步的效应不同。那么,我国作为一个后发大国在推进经济增长方式转变过程中也应根据与国际前沿的技术差距,合理配置生产性投资与研发投资、模仿投资与创新投资,并根据我国区域技术水平的差异性,"分层"推进经济增长方式的转变。

Designing an International Marketing Research Course

Given the ever increasing importance of international marketing research, business schools wishing to emphasize the international dimension should offer a course-on this topic. Such a course should discuss the environment in which international marketine research is conducted. Attention should be focused on the mark&ng environment, government environment, legal environment, economic environment, structural environment, informational and technological environment, and sociocultural environment. The course should also cover a discussion of how the six steps of the marketing research Drocess. namelv. Problem Definition.

Associations of traffic safety attitudes and ticket fixing behaviours with the crash history of Pakistani drivers

The study assessed whether traffic safety attitudes and ticket fixing behaviours were associated with the crash history. A total of 4018 male drivers from Lahore city participated in this cross sectional study. Most were aged 18–30 years (58.7%, n = 2362), 71.9% (n = 2887) received a traffic ticket, 66.5% (n = 2672) reported previous traffic ticket fixing and 71.3% (n = 2865) considered crashes as being the will of God. Crash history was reported by 95.4% (n = 3821) of drivers, and 58.2% of them reported being involved in a road traffic crash. The likelihood of reporting a previous crash was higher in those who had received a traffic sign violation ticket [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 1.40; 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 1.15–1.72], were involved in traffic ticket fixing (aOR = 1.28; 95%CI = 1.07–1.53), and considered crashes as will of God (aOR = 1.86; 95% CI = 1.57–2.22). These results suggested the need for improving traffic enforcement monitoring and safety education in Pakistan.
