The combined impact of managerial and relational capabilities on innovation in firms

In this paper, a survey of more than 1600 firms in the five largest city regions of Norway is described in order to examine how a firm's innovative capacity is affected by three types of factors: factors related to the manager, the structure of the firm and the broader geographical location. By combining perspectives from the fields of management and economic geography in a logistic regression analysis, we find that the two key drivers of firm-level innovation in Norway are the presence of open-minded managers and evidence of collaboration with international partners. Moreover, these two factors are mutually reinforcing, as firms with open-minded managers also tend to engage more with international partners and vice versa.     

Performance implications of knowledge and competitive arousal in times of employee mobility: “The immutable law of the ex”

This article elaborates on extant literature on employee mobility by focusing on how the movement of personnel between competitors affects their competitive positions. Our mixed‐methods study of 402 head‐to‐head encounters from the English Premier League (2000–2005) reveals that transferred players improve the performance of the recipient team in head‐to‐head encounters against the donor. We also provide evidence that competitive arousal, as triggered by anger and pressures for proving loyalty to the recipient organization, as well as knowledge of the donor team's routines, explain the superior performance of transferred players. These results question the traditional view that organizational routines are not transferable through employee mobility. They also move beyond a prior emphasis on the negative effects of emotional states such as anger and competitive arousal, highlighting how these can occasionally be beneficial. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

《工程制图》中剖视图的方位表达与标注关系

在工程制图中,表示剖视图(或断面图)剖切平面位置的剖切符号、表示投射方向的箭头、以及字母名称等,标注在不同的视图上,得到的图形方位是不同的。本文针对画图时经常遇到的剖视图(或断面图)的配置、图形的方位以及标注视图的位置等疑惑问题进行分析和探讨。并结合实例对剖视图的展开画法与标注进行了比较与分析。     

How do bankruptcy laws affect entrepreneurship development around the world?

How do bankruptcy laws as formal institutions affect entrepreneurship development around the world? Do entrepreneur-friendly bankruptcy laws encourage more entrepreneurship development at a societal level? We posit that if bankrupt entrepreneurs are excessively punished for failure, they may give up potentially high-return but inherently high-risk opportunities to start new businesses. Amassing a cross-country database from 29 countries spanning 19 years (1990-2008), we find that lenient, entrepreneur-friendly bankruptcy laws are significantly correlated with the level of entrepreneurship development as measured by the rate of new firm entry.

论“游道”——明清文士旅游观研究之一

游山玩水,作为一项亲历审美活动,有其专门的内在机理,明清文士称之为“游道”、“游政”或“游山学”。伴随着旅游活动的炽盛,明清士夫们对“游地”、“游具”、“游时”、“游伴”及“游术”等“游道”作了多层面、多视角的探讨,从而丰富了我国的旅游学理论,对今天的旅游业建设也不无裨益。由此,并可窥视明清文士的人生观与社会观。     

Role of Intangible Assets in Foreign-Market Entry-Mode Decisions: A Longitudinal Study of American Lodging Firms

With the traditional research-based view approach to entry mode that examines the firm's strategies from its resource endowment and deployment (i.e., an inside-out view of the firm), which is different from the earlier paradigms (i.e., an outside-in view of the firm), this article investigates intangibles at the firm level and their impact on the choice of foreign-market entry mode to understand how to create value overseas. From the multinomial logistic regression analyses with data collected from the lodging industry between 1995 and 2005, the results of this study suggest that as marketing capital increases, entry mode seems to move from acquisition to joint venture to greenfield to contractual modes. In the case of employee efficiency, as human capital increases entry mode tends to move from joint venture to acquisition to greenfield to contractual modes, whereas in the case of top managers' efficiency, entry mode tends to move from joint venture to acquisition to contractual mode to greenfield, respectively.     

规划理论和实践中的空间观念辨析

规划理论和实践中的空间观念塑造着我们周围的人造环境。空间观念的发展呈现出从绝对到相对、从时空分离转向时空关联、从一元到多元的变化趋势。20世纪以来规划理论逐渐吸纳相对空间观念,但迄今为止规划实践仍以绝对空间观念为主导。绝对空间观念成为规划实践低效性的深层原因,但是完全放弃绝对空间观念而将相对空间观念引入规划理论和实践不仅存在很多困难,而且会造成认识和实践上的混乱,科学的空间观念应该将绝对和相对结合起来形成多元空间观。我国规划理论研究和实践仍以绝对空间观念为主导,了解绝对空间观念的不足和吸纳相对空间观念的合理性具有重要的理论和实践意义。
