AN ANALYSIS OF SUPPLY CHAIN COLLABORATIONS AND THEIR EFFECT ON PERFORMANCE OUTCOMES

This research examined how operational outcomes, relational outcomes and business performance are affected by a collaboration project between buyers and suppliers in a supply chain. It is hypothesized that interdependence of knowledge and process, supply chain partner insight, and the level of collaboration between the firms affect the outcomes of a collaboration project. Survey data from buyers and suppliers from a wide range of industries and organizations were used in this analysis. Among these participants, higher levels of collaboration led to improvements in operational and relational outcomes, which together led to improvements in asset utilization, competitive position, organizational performance, and profitability.

对价方式、盈余管理与市场绩效

选取国有企业控制权转移的样本,剖析有偿转让和无偿转让这两种不同对价方式对盈余管理的影响,并对不同的对价方式下控制权转移是否改进了企业的中短期及长期的市场绩效进行经验检验。研究发现：（1）有偿转让控制权的对价方式更易推动上市公司通过操控应计利润调低净资产,提高溢价率,以符合政策要求;（2）在整体上无偿类样本相对于同行业公...

Measuring quality performance of cadastral survey and deeds registration work processes

When land parcel boundaries are surveyed for purposes of registration in most southern African countries, the cadastral survey records and diagrams prepared have to be examined and approved by the Surveyor General first before they can be registered in the Deeds Registries. For such records to be approved, their quality must conform to requirements stipulated in relevant acts and regulations. Where regulatory requirements are not met, the records are rejected and returned for corrections and resubmission. From a cross-organizational context, poor quality documents lodged upstream have the effect of congesting examination processes downstream as records are rejected and returned backwards due to quality failure. The paper proposes a quality performance measurement model to analyze quality performance in land administration work processes. The developed model is tested on 2 survey examination and approval sites and 3 deeds registration sites in Namibia, Zimbabwe and South Africa. Based on below expected quality results obtained at one of the sites, a root cause analysis was conducted to establish recurring and underlying causal factors upon which quality improvement strategies can be built on.     

用效益弹性比较法优化矿藏开发的集约化程度

集约开发矿藏不仅应当紧跟永不停留的技术进步,还需要时时通过效益弹性比较法择优方案.流行的价格法和产值法忽略提取多种有用组分成本的无规则变化,利润法只讲微观效益,它们都不能提供最优解.效益弹性比较法能克服流行方法的这些缺陷,而且出于命题的整体性不为分解公共费用的难点所困扰,并能把环保举措有机地并入开发程序.     

CEO DUALITY AND FIRM PERFORMANCE: WHAT'S THE FUSS?

Rising shareholder activism following poor corporate performance and a subsequent drop in shareholder value at many major U.S. corporations had rekindled interest in duality and corporate governance. Despite limited empirical evidence, duality (chairman of the board and CEO are the same individual) has been blamed, in many cases, for the poor performance, and failure of firms to adapt to a changing environment. In examining the relationship between duality and firm performance, this study considers the announcement effects of changes in duality status, accounting measures of operating performance for firms that have changed their duality structure, and long-term measures of performance for firms that have had a consistent history of a duality structure. Our results suggest that: (1) the market is indifferent to changes in a firm's duality status; (2) there is little evidence of operating performance changes around changes in duality status; and (3) there is only weak evidence that duality status affects long-term performance, after controlling for other factors that might impact that performance.     

单钢板-混凝土组合板承载性能分析

为研究单钢板-混凝土组合板在公路桥梁中的应用,提出一种新的钢板与混凝土板组合形式。通过对其进行仿真模拟结合静力试验,研究其裂缝发展模式和破坏形态,分析该模式组合板受弯承载性能。试验结果表明：试件破坏模式为弯剪混合破坏,在试验过程中,试件截面纵向应变沿组合板高度上基本符合平截面假定,在破坏前有明显的变形特征,且承载性能较好。可见该形式的组合板基本能满足使用需求,对实际工程组合板的选型有一定的参考意义。     

Early warning indicators? The effect of consumer and investor sentiments on the restaurant industry

This study looks at the influence of cyclical fluctuations of the consumer confidence index (CCI) and the volatility index (VIX) as early-warning indicators of the variations in restaurant performance. The industry has traditionally focused on past data and on microeconomic influences to anticipate its future performance, a procedure that does not consider possible cyclical fluctuations in restaurant performance metrics. These fluctuations are driven by sentiments of consumers and investors. The study uses the cyclical component of the applied data, followed by unit root and cointegration testing, with subsequent application of the Limited Information Maximum Likelihood technique. The results show both indicators have an effect on restaurant performance, where VIX has an impact on the current, expected, and overall restaurant performance, while the CCI’s influence is only partial (current performance). Policy-makers and planners could benefit from anticipating features of indicators to assess and steer the future performance of the restaurant industry.
