Globalization, marketing resources, and performance: Evidence from China

Two important areas are underexplored in the relationship between marketing resources and performance. First, the subject has been primarily investigated in the context of Western countries, and inadequate attention has been given to emerging economies. Second, despite the recent growth in globalization, the moderating role of globalization on the link between marketing resources and performance has not been investigated. Addressing these important gaps, this article focuses on an emerging economy (China) and explores the moderating effect of globalization on this link. Specifically, the authors develop several hypotheses highlighting the moderating role of globalization activities (global product sourcing, global market seeking, and global partnership) on the link between marketing resources (market orientation, entrepreneurial orientation, and innovative capability) and firm performance. The findings of the moderating role of globalization provide several important implications for marketing theory development and managerial practice.

北方牧区草地资源可持续利用的制度创新研究

我国北方牧区的天然草地发生了严重的退化,引发了一系列生态经济问题。导致草地退化的原因是多方面的, 制度供给不足和滞后是主要的社会经济原因。单纯依靠技术和资金投入治理退化草地,难以从根本上解决问题。应从科学发 展观的视角,通过改革现行草地所有权、使用权,完善草地资源管理制度,构建有助于体现草地资源生态价值的绿色考核体 系,实施有利于牧区发展的生态补偿政策,建立和完善草地利用和保护的激励机制,从而实现草地资源的可持续利用。     

价值链与创新型产业集群社会网络特征研究——基于浙江省产业集群的实证分析

产业集群中大量企业集中在相对较小区域内,这种高密度企业集中会对企业社会网络产生多方面影响。不同类型产业集群在发展过程中呈现许多差异特征,因此企业社会网络特征也非常不同。本研究针对价值链型产业集群与创新型产业集群这两个典型类型产业集群,探讨两种产业集群中企业社会网络特征的差异,并通过实证统计分析来检验不同产业集群类型下企业社会网络特征是否存在显著差异。本研究先通过独立样本T检验证明本研究所取样的两个产业集群分别属于不同类型的产业集群,然后再对不同类型产业集群中企业社会网络四个维度进行独立样本T检验,最终证明不同产业集群类型下企业社会网络特征存在显著差异。
