Do firms with more alliance experience outperform others with less? A three‐level sigmoid model and the moderating effects of diversification

Whether firms with more alliance experience perform better than those with less and whether the alliance strategy interacts with diversification strategy to shape firm performance are two critical but underexplored questions. To address these queries, this study develops a three‐level sigmoid framework built upon a marginal analysis that contrasts alliance benefits and alliance costs, and considers the moderation of diversification that often closely works with the alliance in shaping firm performance. Empirical results obtained from firms in two alliance‐populated industries support first that the alliance experience‐performance relationship is S‐shaped in that the linkage is negative to alliance novices, positive to alliance experts, and negative again to alliance overusers; and second, that the shape of this sigmoid curve varies systematically between high‐ and low‐diversified firms.

Consistent recalibration of yield curve models

The analytical tractability of affine (short rate) models, such as the Vasi?ek and the Cox–Ingersoll–Ross (CIR) models, has made them a popular choice for modeling the dynamics of interest rates. However, in order to properly account for the dynamics of real data, these models must exhibit time‐dependent or even stochastic parameters. This breaks their tractability, and modeling and simulating become an arduous task. We introduce a new class of Heath–Jarrow–Morton (HJM) models that both fit the dynamics of real market data and remain tractable. We call these models consistent recalibration (CRC) models. CRC models appear as limits of concatenations of forward rate increments, each belonging to a Hull–White extended affine factor model with possibly different parameters. That is, we construct HJM models from “tangent” affine models. We develop a theory for continuous path versions of such models and discuss their numerical implementations within the Vasi?ek and CIR frameworks.     

The Relevance of XBRL Voluntary Disclosure for Stock Market Valuation: The Role of Corporate Governance

The aim of this paper is to investigate the relevance for stock market pricing of accounting earnings of voluntary disclosures in XBRL files considering the quality of corporate governance. Results are the following. It appears that XBRL extensions attract financial analysts. Good governance is positively associated with voluntary XBRL extensions. We observe that XBRL extensions enhance the positive relationship between accounting earnings and stock price. However, this positive association is reduced for firms with good governance, suggesting a substitution effect between XBRL extensions and corporate governance. Finally, it appears that XBRL extensions would strategically be related to earnings quality. This research highlights the importance to consider governance when assessing the value relevance of XBRL disclosures for stock market pricing.     

A Career Path Leading to Well‐being and Success

In line with self‐determination theory (Deci & Ryan, 2000), this study aims to determine the influence of different contents and motives of career aspirations, together with objective career success, on subjective career success and well‐being. Moreover, it aims to verify if psychological need, satisfaction, and frustration play a mediating role in these relationships. Results suggest that the pursuit of some aspirations and the underlying motives for their pursuit are more beneficial. Aspiration contents, and aspiration motives, together with objective career success, influence subjective well‐being and subjective career success, in part because they satisfy or frustrate psychological needs. This study brings together two fields of research evolving in parallel—career and life aspirations— to shed new light on both of them. Copyright © 2018 ASAC.

How Positive and Neo‐Aristotelian Leadership Can Contribute to Ethical Leadership

Virtuous leadership is crucial for advancing leadership ethics. By comparing Positive Leadership and its notion of virtuousness with neo‐Aristotelian leadership based on virtue, this article sheds light on this research field. We expound on the differences and commonalities between the two and present possibilities of how they can enrich each other and further ethical leadership theory. Our findings concern the purported Aristotelian roots of virtuousness, the relative strengths and weaknesses of the positive and the neo‐Aristotelian approaches, and the interplay between technical skills and ethical excellence in leadership. We propose the adoption of practical managerial tools and procedures from Positive Leadership, making them dependent upon the virtues to achieve flourishing within organizations and society at large. © 2018 ASAC.

正确对待企业改革,管理和发展的关系

本文用新型管理哲学—耗散结构理论阐述了企业的改革、管理与发展的关系。文中指出,改革和管理是企业发展不可缺少的两个重要途径。企业的发展是永恒的,因此改革和管理也是永恒的。现实生活中不存在一劳永逸的改革和管理,也不存在万能的改革,两者必须相辅相成,共同促进企业的发展,而加强管理要以“人“为本,以企业文化为中心,重视人才资本工程、价值观工程和凝聚力工程的建设。     

江苏省新农合与城镇居民医保存在的问题比较及对策建议

江苏省新农合与城镇居民医保制度在实施中存在许多问题。主要有政策宣传不够、保障体系欠完善、经办人员缺乏等;新农合突出问题是筹资机制与基层医疗水平不高,城镇居民医保则是筹资困难、基金存在风险;而两者并行运行造成人力物力资金的浪费。因此,应做好宣传与普及工作、设计出合理的筹资机制、提高保障支付水平、加快医疗改革、健全监管机制、加强队伍建设等,为两制度合二为一打下基础。     

新一轮技术革命与工业化国家的工业再升级战略

新技术革命呈现出三个基本特征：不同学科、领域之间的技术相互融合的范围、深度进一步扩大;通过不同领域技术的融合,形成有别于传统产业的新型高端产业;高端产业间的相互作用会形成以区域为中心,以创新为根本的区域技术创新生态系统。西方工业化国家为了加快实现发展高端产业的目标,提出了一系列优先发展的新兴技术和先进的制造部门,制定并实施了一系列有关工业研发投资与人力资源培养的政策。可以预见,工业再升级战略将从生产技术与生产组织形式的变革两个方面大幅提高西方国家的工业劳动生产率,进一步巩固其在国际上的领先地位。在新一轮的工业升级竞赛中,中国要积极利用新技术革命带来的机遇,制定应对战略,加快工业转型升级的步伐,进一步缩小与西方工业化国家的差距。     

The Effects of Creative Culture on Real Earnings Management*

Creativity and innovation have been identified by senior executives as some of the most desired characteristics of corporate culture. Accordingly, managers strive to build these cultures within their organizations. However, research in psychology suggests that these attempts may have unintended negative consequences. In this study, I predict and find that managers in a more (versus less) innovative company culture will engage in higher levels of real earnings management (REM). I then test two construal level theory (CLT)-based interventions designed to reduce REM. As I predict, I find that in more innovative corporate cultures an intervention that makes downside risk more salient reduces REM, but an intervention that encourages managers to consider the “big-picture” impact of their decision reduces REM to a greater extent. Unexpectedly, I also find that the effect of the “big-picture” intervention reverses in a less innovative corporate culture leading to an increase in REM. My findings contribute to the emerging accounting literature regarding REM. I also extend the psychology literature investigating the link between opportunistic behavior and creativity, and I also expand research into how interventions based on CLT can affect judgment and decision making in an accounting context.
