The effect of interfirm dependence structures on governance mechanisms

Despite recent developments regarding the study of interdependence structures, previous research has rarely investigated the simultaneous effect of both interdependence magnitude and interdependence asymmetry on governance mechanisms among exchange parties. A survey of manufacturing companies has been used to test a theory about the interactive effect of buyer dependence and supplier dependence on inter-firm governance. The analysis of the survey supported the proposition that both buyers and suppliers that are highly dependent on each other (high interdependence magnitude and low interdependence asymmetry) may choose to rely on monitoring and the norm of information sharing. However, when a buyer's dependence is low regardless of the supplier's dependence level, the buyer does not rely on the norm of information sharing (buyer's relative interdependence advantage, buyer's relative interdependence disadvantage, and low interdependence magnitude). On the other hand, when the supplier's dependence on the buyer is low, the buyer relies on monitoring regardless of its dependence level (buyer's relative interdependence disadvantage and low interdependence magnitude). However, this study did not empirically measure performance. Further research should be done on the effect of congruence between the governance mechanism and its antecedents on buying performance.     

浅析供应链牛鞭效应成因及对策

供应链的引入,带来了一些需要急切解决的管理问题,如“牛鞭效应”。本文分别从技术应用层面和经济学层面对牛鞭效应的成因做出分析,并在此基础上有针对性地提出相应缓解对策,通过信息共享,有效地弱化牛鞭效应。最后指出由于供应链的固有特性和参与方的经济性,牛鞭效应难以根本消除。

Does subsidised temporary employment get the unemployed back to work? Aneconometric analysis of two different schemes

Subsidised employment is an important tool of active labour market policies to improve the reemployment chances of the unemployed. Using unusually informative individual data from administrative records, we investigate the effects of two different schemes of subsidised temporary employment implemented in Switzerland: non-profit employment programmes (EP) and a subsidy for temporary jobs (TEMP) in private and public firms. Econometric matching methods show that TEMP is more successful than EP in getting the unemployed back to work. Compared to not participating in any programme, EP and TEMP are ineffective for unemployed who find jobs easily anyway or have a short unemployment spell. For potential and actual long-term unemployed, both programmes may have positive effects, but the effect of TEMP is larger.

一种新的顾客满意度指数测评模型

顾客满意度指数是近年来许多国家和地区积极开展研究和采用的一种新的经济指标。本文在已有研究的基础上,结合我国消费者行为的特点,构建了一种新的顾客满意度指数测评模型。该模型在期望不一致模式的基础上,同时考虑了公平模式和需要不一致模式,引入感知公平和感知价格变量,并为这些结构变量设计了相应的观测变量和路径关系,建立了由顾客满意、企业形象、感知价格到顾客忠诚三条路径关系,改变了传统模型中从顾客满意到顾客忠诚路径过于单一的情况。
