在抽象与具体中回归实践的理论——与王南湜教授商榷

对于理论与实践的关系问题,长期以来哲学家们从理论哲学的角度出发,最终把理论引向一种神秘主义,造成理论与实践之间的割裂,因此从实践哲学的角度探讨这一问题是十分必要的。理论本身属于实践的依据在于其"同根性""目的性"和"广延性",理论活动的抽象性造成了理论与实践之间的距离。哲学这种理论只有回归实践,才能找到自己的"阿基米德点",才是真正意义上的哲学。     

上海法治水平对金融发展的影响分析

以1997-2009年的上海数据为样本,通过带有控制变量的向量误差修正模型（VECM）和格兰杰（Granger）因果检验方法,研究法治水平与金融发展规模、效率以及银行业竞争之间的相关关系和因果关系.检验结果表明：法治水平与金融发展规模、效率及银行业竞争之间存在长期稳定均衡关系;法治水平的提高是促进金融发展规模、效率以及银行业竞争的格兰杰原因.因此,“国际金融中心”的建设不仅要注重法律体系的完善,更要加强法治.     

K型井架相似模型起升过程应力测试分析

针对近年来井架在起升过程中出现弯曲或倒塌的现象,根据相似理论研制了与JJ450/45-K型井架结构几何尺寸比为l:8的模型,对井架模型进行了起升过程力学分析,利用matlab软件对起升大绳拉力变化规律进行了分析计算,确定了该种穿绳方式下的井架在起升过程中起升大绳受力最大的位置,并对井架模型起升过程进行了应力测试分析。结果表明,井架在起升初始位置时,整体受力最大,最大应力位于井架立柱下段起升大绳缠绕的导轮处和人字架的人字连接处,在井架设计、井架起升时,应对受力较大位置和杆件进行重点关注。     

China׳s information security standardization: Analysis from the perspective of technical barriers to trade principles

There have been many attempts for ICT standardization in China. Among them, this paper deals with information security standards. Although information security is often mentioned regarding China?s ICT standardization, it has been rarely examined per se. While most studies on China?s ICT standardization focus on economic aspects (e.g. increased bargaining power) or the government?s role, this paper draws on legal aspects. We select WAPI and ZUC for case studies, and examine their legal aspects, particularly from the perspective of WTO?s TBT (technical barriers to trade) principles. We have found that China?s standardization strategy becomes international-bound and, in fact, the manner in which the Chinese government handles standardization projects has become refined, flexible, and communicative with foreign stakeholders. We see that the changes are responses to the trade concerns raised by foreign stakeholders in various TBT Committee meetings and bilateral meetings. In addition, the Chinese government appears to become market-oriented even in the field of information security where it previously maintained a rigid stance on the ground of national security. This paper points out that the changes are attributed to growing external pressure from foreign governments and firms as well as to internal efforts toward innovation based on indigenous technology.     

When bad news is sugarcoated: Information distortion,organizational search and the behavioral theory of the firm

Most work in strategy and organization theory assumes that performance feedback is straightforward to interpret and truthfully reported. We raise the following question: How might the systematic distortion of negative performance information affect organizational learning and future performance? We formulate a model where (1) members do not always report the truth about what they know about their performance level, especially when performance is below aspiration and (2) their propensity to distort information is subject to social influence. We find that organizations that are characterized by a high level of information distortion tend to perform more poorly but that the effect of a low rate of sugarcoating may, in some conditions, be more benign than the literatures seem to suggest.

Outward foreign direct investment by emerging market firms: A resource dependence logic

This study examines and extends the resource dependence logic of diversification for a better understanding of outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) activities by emerging market firms. We contend that the diversification logic is bounded by state ownership, an important but less considered component of interdependence. Our empirical results, based on panel data analysis of Chinese listed firms, suggest that the level of interdependence between Chinese and foreign firms in China in multiple forms, including symbiotic, competitive, and partner interdependencies, is positively associated with the level of the Chinese firms' OFDI activities. However, Chinese firms with higher levels of state ownership are less susceptible to the pressures imposed by foreign firms to invest abroad. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The influence of lead indicator strength on the use of nonfinancial measures in performance management: Evidence from CEO compensation schemes

Nonfinancial measures (NFMs) are a common feature of strategic performance management frameworks. We examine the role of one widely used NFM: customer satisfaction, in one aspect of strategic performance management: CEO compensation schemes. Drawing on agency theory precepts, we hypothesize that the extent to which firms link CEO compensation to customer satisfaction is influenced by satisfaction's ability to act as a leading indicator of future profitability (lead indicator strength). We further hypothesize that the extent to which customer satisfaction's lead indicator strength influences the weighting of satisfaction in CEO compensation schemes has a positive influence on future shareholder value. Our empirical results offer strong support for both hypotheses and extend research on the use and efficacy of NFMs in CEO compensation schemes. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Difference in degrees: CEO characteristics and firm environmental disclosure

We contribute to the literature on firms' responses to institutional pressures and environmental information disclosure. We hypothesize that CEO characteristics such as education and tenure will influence firms' likelihood to voluntarily disclose environmental information. We test our hypotheses by examining firms' responses to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and find that firms led by newly appointed CEOs and CEOs with MBA degrees are more likely to respond to the CDP, while those led by lawyers are less likely to respond. Our results have implications for research on strategic responses to institutional pressures and corporate environmental performance. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

对传统人力资源成本会计核算模式的理性思考

传统的人力资源成本核算模式是以西方发达国家劳动力具有稀缺性为前提构建起来的,据此,对人力资源的获得、开发及遣散等主要成本进行核算构成了传统人力资源成本核算模式的基本框架;但就我国现实经济的客观实际来看,该模式在计量、核算和反映我国劳动密集型人力资源运动内在变化的规律上存在缺陷。因此,依据我国企业人力资源成本变化的实际,用科学、创新、合理的方式来建立人力资源成本会计核算模式是必须的、也是理性的。
