论供应链合作伙伴关系风险因素分析

随着敏捷制造和动态联盟的出现,供应链合作伙伴关系的研究成为热点问题,供应链合作所带来的利益与风险日益得到重视。为了克服过去只是对整个供应链的风险或基于制造商与供应链的风险因素分析研究的局限性,则必须结合我国企业合作现状,全面地系统地进行整个供应链上合作伙伴关系的风险研究,才能深入探究风险因素产生的机理及原因,进而才能够有效地抑制和缓解供应链合作伙伴关系的风险。     

Cuts,collaboration and creativity

Massive cuts in public spending are demanding a new era of collaborative working among partners in English local governance. Partnerships have the capacity to pool assets, share scarce resources and leverage new forms of social and human capital. City-wide partnerships are also ideal vehicles for public service creativity. Action research in Sheffield reveals the potential, but also the pitfalls, of attempts to mainstream partnership principles, now they are no longer mandated by central government.     

Public Money and Mickey Mouse: Evaluating performance and accountability in the Hong Kong Disneyland joint venture public–private partnership

Abstract

Joint venture public–private partnerships (PPPs) allow partners to share in the risks and rewards of joint production. But the literature offers little theoretical guidance on assessing performance and accountability in this type of PPP. This article fills this gap by examining joint ventures as PPPs and formulates a comprehensive performance evaluation framework. Its application to the case of Hong Kong’s Disneyland Resort reveals a project that has endured several challenges related to achieving objectives, ensuring cooperation among partners, and upholding principles of democratic accountability. Outcomes from this study offer new insight into an underexplored aspect of PPP research.     

Towards Legitimate Water Governance?

Abstract

This article addresses how and to what extent a governance mode can legitimately provide public services. A single case study of the partially privatized Berlin Waterworks is used to analyse the level of input and output legitimacy as well as potential trade-offs between the criteria emerging in a public–private partnership (PPP) in the water supply and sanitation sectors. While the Berlin Waterworks as a PPP leads to a lower level of resource protection and public acceptance, it leads to a higher level of efficiency and profitability than under the previous public model.     

Lessons from management–union partnership in teacher performance appraisal in the New South Wales public education system

Performance appraisal is frequently seen as one of the hallmarks of the ‘new managerialism’ in public sector human resource management. It is also commonly represented as a device for individualizing the employment relationship. Yet even appraisal offers scope for employee voice/participation, both individually and collectively, and for varying degrees of management–union cooperation. This study examines an unlikely case of management–union partnership in performance appraisal – that applied since 2000 to teachers in Australia's largest public schooling bureaucracy, the NSW Department of Education and Training, whose teachers have a long history of union solidarity and industrial militancy. The experiment can be seen as a union retreat from confrontationism, a concession to managerialism, and a resignation to the dominance of individualism over collectivism. However, we argue that it has also widened the scope for both union and employee voice at workplace level.     

Factors Causing Design Schedule Delays in Turnkey Projects in Taiwan: An Empirical Study of Power Distribution Substation Projects

Because of its benefits, the turnkey project delivery method has received much global attention; however, turnkey contractors often have difficulty completing projects within the contract schedule. Through case studies, expert interviews, questionnaire surveys, and statistical data analysis, this study revealed that, of 27 delay factors that affect design schedules in power distribution substation projects, the most common delay factors are “public contending or political involvement” and “tedious review processes of government agencies.” Furthermore, the study proposes assorted strategies from the perspectives of the owner, turnkey contractor, and designer that can be used to help prevent delays in similar turnkey projects.     

浅析奥运“隐性营销”——兼谈北京奥运对“隐性营销”的应对

奥运"隐性营销"是奥运经济中值得关注的现象,结合北京奥运会对"隐性营销"的应对策略,对奥运"隐性营销"的含义进行辨析,对其价值取向、实质及致因进行分析。对非奥运赞助企业的"隐性营销"提出建议,认为"隐性营销"未必是非赞助企业最好的选择,应慎重使用,非赞助企业同样可以合理利用奥运资源,也可以尝试"非奥运营销"。奥运会结束后的一段时期,仍需防范"隐性营销"。     

业务流程外包伙伴关系的风险管理

业务流程外包(BPO)是信息技术外包(ITO)的扩展,目前已经成为当今商业世界中一场新的革命。伙伴关系是业务流程外包成功与否的关键,本文重点关注伙伴关系的风险管理问题。将业务流程外包伙伴关系划分成交易型、战略型和变革型三种类型,并分别利用交易成本理论、资源基础理论和资源依赖理论进行分析。又基于委托—代理理论将业务流程外包伙伴关系的风险划分为签约风险、执行风险和结束风险,并通过伙伴选择和伙伴关系治理来实现风险管理。在伙伴选择中,分析了不同类型的伙伴关系选择服务提供商的关键因素。伙伴关系的治理重点分析了盈利、责任和信任三个因素。     

基于利益主体伙伴关系构建的旅游可持续发展再思考

旅游可持续发展是旅游地难以回避的巨大挑战,也是旅游研究的重要领域之一。旅游发展涉及相互博弈的旅游者、政府机构、社区居民、投资者以及规划者等多元利益主体。在对旅游研究现状和不足分析的基础上,根据可持续发展社会、经济、环境三大系统的内在联系以及代内公平和代际公平间的相互关系,论述了多元利益主体伙伴关系构建在旅游可持续发展实践和研究中的重要性和必要性,呼吁旅游可持续发展研究的导向需要从传统的资源环境文化旅游利益客体和单一社区利益主体转向不同背景条件下多元旅游利益主体伙伴关系构建的障碍、机制和实践模式。     

关于我国风险投资机构组织结构的探讨

本文采用对比分析的方法,从风险资本以及机构的稳定性、能否建立有效的激励约束机制、成本是否低廉和机构运作的效率四个方面对风险投资机构的主要组织形式进行了对比分析。结果发现,有限合伙制应该成为我国风险投资机构的主流组织形式。
