Competitive selection, self-organisation and Joseph A. Schumpeter

Post-Schumpeterians have tended to use biological analogies to understand economic evolution, in contrast to Schumpeter himself. In this paper it is argued that the biological analogies used tend to be outdated and that Schumpeter espoused an intuitive understanding of the evolutionary economic process that is closely related to modern conceptions of self-organisation, suitably adapted for application in socioeconomic systems. Using a self-organisation approach, competition can be understood without recourse to biological analogy, in terms of general systemic principles that operate in the presence of variety. Viewing economic evolution in terms of complex adaptation in self-organising systems yields nonequilibrium and nonlinear perspectives that parallel Schumpeter's own intuitions, reinvigorating them as the basis of evolutionary economic thinking in the new Millennium.     

When the target may know better: Effects of experience and information asymmetries on value from mergers and acquisitions

Research summary : Extending research on the effect of experience on acquisition outcomes, we examine how the differential in previous M&A experience between the target and the acquirer affects the value they, respectively, obtain when the acquirer takes over the target. Drawing on literature about organizational learning, negotiation, and information economics, we theorize that the party with greater experience will be able to obtain more value. Furthermore, we theorize that the effect of differential M&A experience on value obtained is contingent on the level of information asymmetry the acquirer faces with respect to the target, specifically as a function of the target's product‐market scope and whether the deal is friendly. We test and find support for these predictions in a sample of 1,241 M&As over a 30‐year period. Managerial summary : Corporate strategy is about a firm's scope and development decisions and outcomes, but corporate strategizing is incomplete unless managers anticipate the moves of other economic actors. We demonstrate the importance of these points when it comes to learning to make acquisitions. Using an innovative research design and theory that enables comparison between acquirer and target gains, we show that whatever their firm's acquisition history and capabilities, acquisitive managers should mind the negotiation and other pitfalls that arise when target firms possess ample acquisition experience of their own. We also demonstrate that the effect of experience advantage, whereby the more experienced party benefits, depends on the target firm's scope and whether the deal is friendly—two dimensions that acquirers can and should take into account.

企业并购的博弈分析

企业并购是市场经济体制下的一种产权交易活动,是参与并购的局中人之间博弈的过程。文章分析了中国企业参与并购的深层次动因,建立了相应的企业并购博弈模型,对此进行分析并提出一些建议和对策。     

企业并购风险分析

企业并购虽然是使企业短期内获得发展的有效途径,但从国内外大量的并购数据来看,成功的并购案例很少。因为在并购过程中,存在大量的风险因素,而企业并购风险存在于企业并购的整个过程之中,任何一个环节出现问题,都可能导致并购的失败。本文将并购过程分为四个主要的流程,从而将风险分散化,具体化,使并购过程规范化。进而提出了并购流程分析的方法,对并购的整个过程进行分段分析,从而提高并购的成功率。本文着重从定性分析的角度对并购整个过程的风险进行相关分析,总结出了并购过程中可能出现的大量风险因素,即使对于不同的企业,也可以从并购的各个流程中找到适合自身的风险因素,从而加以分析与控制。     

并购重组——提高我国钢铁行业生产集中度的必然选择

加快钢铁企业的并购重组,是体现国际钢铁行业发展内在规律,满足我国钢铁产业发展政策,迅速提高我国钢铁产业生产集中度的必然选择。在实施过程中,要特别注意坚持并购重组的市场化导向,加强对外资并购的有效规制,加强对上游产业的并购重组。     

多元化并购、资源基础与制造企业服务化转型——基于fsQCA的多案例分析

为探究制造业企业通过并购实现服务化的转型路径,以2014—2018年制造企业并购服务企业并购事件为研究对象,运用组态思维和fsQCA方法,选取“基于并购的资源获取”和“并购后资源整合”两个维度的5个前因条件,讨论前因变量组合与制造业服务化转型之间的复杂因果机制。结果表明,制造业服务化转型存在3条转型路径,即研发能力驱动型、财务能力驱动型和服务化经验驱动型。通过分析路径和典型案例,发现：并购标的企业的盈利能力与研发能力均能衡量服务型资源质量且二者具有替代效应;并购方财务柔性在并购后整合与服务化转型中具有重要作用;并购方服务化经验有助于并购后整合。     

跨国公司与东道国当地企业的合作方式及其经济内涵

跨国公司与东道国当地企业的合作存在五种形式：一是与供给商的合作；二是与客户的合作；三是与竞争者的合作；四是与技术伙伴的合作；五是具有外溢效应的合作。采用何种形式的合作，取决于TNC要实现的目标以及SME的合作能力；为建立与TNC更加紧密的合作关系，在东道国政府制定相关鼓励政策的同时。SME还应努力提高人员素质和技术水平，以增强自身的合作能力。

Cournot Competition and Hit-and-Run Entry and Exit in a Teaching Experiment

Instructors can use a computerized experiment to introduce students to imperfect competition in courses on introductory economics, industrial organization, game theory, and strategy and management. In addition to introducing students to strategic thinking in general, the experiment serves to demonstrate that profits of a firm fall as the number of competitors is increased in a market and that firms enter profitable markets. The authors have used the experiment in undergraduate classes on strategy and management as well as in master of business administration courses with great success.
