How do interorganizational and interpersonal networks affect a firm's strategic adaptive capability in a transition economy?

This paper examines the effects of a firm's interorganizational network characteristics and a CEO's interpersonal network ties on a firm's strategic adaptive capability in a transition economy. Using a unique survey dataset of 250 Chinese firms, the paper focuses on the compositional diversity of a firm's interorganizational network and the structural holes in a CEO's interpersonal network. The results show that an interorganizational network that is diverse in composition and an interpersonal network that is rich in structural holes have significantly positive effects on a firm's strategic adaptive capability in China's transition economy. However, a negative interaction effect occurs between interorganizational network diversity and interpersonal network structural holes. The results suggest that managers simultaneously consider both the individual and joint effects of interorganizational and interpersonal network characteristics when developing firm strategies.     

论虚拟企业与战略联盟的异同

现代企业必须要强化自身竞争能力才能持续发展下去,企业强化自身竞争能力的途径有两种:外部联盟和内部创新。在外部联盟中,虚拟企业与战略联盟作为两种企业深度合作形式,将成为商业界的新的发展趋势。那么这两种创新的组织形态有什么区别与联系呢?本文通过分析两者的内涵,对虚拟企业与战略联盟的异同作了简单的讨论。     

战略联盟中合营公司的博弈分析

战略联盟是不同企业集团为实现局部目标而进行的协作.合营公司是战略联盟的主要方式,其性质是非合作不完全信息重复博弈.本文通过合营者的支付矩阵建立了博弈模型,得出能够进行合作的前提条件,证明了合营操作中的三个结论即重视未来的战略联盟稳定;强强联盟非常有效;同一般的公司理论不同,对等投资成功率非常高.     

新材料产业技术创新联盟模式研究

新材料产业发展的关键在于产业技术创新。考量新材料产业发展状况和新材料产业技术创新联盟成员构成情况,按照技术创新难易程度以及产业技术创新联盟中不同的主导力量,构建为政府推动型、学研驱动型和市场导向型三类新材料产业技术创新联盟模式模式。政府推动型模式适用于市场前景不明朗、创新风险大、政府直接或间接介入的重大技术创新领域;学研驱动型模式适用于科技含量较高的重点技术创新领域;市场导向型模式适用于企业有技术创新需求但需要合作研发才能实现的一般性技术创新领域。     

欧盟气候政策的利益导向及对中国的启示

自20世纪90年代以来,欧盟一直是全球气候谈判的主导者,其低碳技术领先全球,将世界各国尤其是美国、中国等排放大国纳入其主导的全球气候谈判体系符合欧盟三大布局主导下的核心战略目标.全球气候谈判的焦灼,迫使欧盟通过欧盟—拉美峰会、非加太—欧盟联合大会等平台,拉拢利益合作伙伴,以增加其主导气候谈判走向的砝码.欧盟气候政策的转变,削弱了气候谈判中以中国为代表的发展中国家谈判阵营的力量,使中国日益面临谈判伙伴减少,乃至被孤立的风险,增加了未来的谈判压力和难度.为此,中国要加紧对欧盟气候外交长期战略布局的研究,密切关注欧盟今后的气候外交政策动向,制定长期气候外交政策战略,同时加紧国内低碳转型的速度与力度.     

Strategic alliances: a hospitality industry perspective

The article focuses on strategic alliance theory as it applies to the hospitality industry. Citing research as well as real-world examples, the authors integrate a variety of concepts and develop four propositions about the growing use of strategic alliances in the hospitality industry. These propositions include the following: P1: Hospitality alliances will evolve from equity joint ventures to collaborative joint ventures (non-equity) as competitor alliances will emerge. P2: Contractual agreements will evolve from simple franchise and management contracts to more complex resource-sharing, non-equity agreements. P3: Complex resource sharing between allying partners will help incumbent firms build relationships with partner firms that will lead to the development of competitor alliances. P4: Technology will help in the development of competitor alliances, which will also help to increase incumbent firms’ productivity and profitability.     

专利池重复联盟能否减少合作伙伴间专利诉讼

专利池内企业存在合作竞争现象,专利池重复联盟能否减少合作伙伴之间的专利诉讼？基于合作竞争理论,引入联盟学习观点,分析专利池内企业之间专利诉讼的影响机理,并以MPEGLA公司12个专利池内64家企业数据作为样本,运用负二项回归模型实证检验专利池重复联盟次数、探索式合作水平、联盟学习强度对池内成员企业之间专利诉讼的影响。结果发现：探索式合作水平提高,降低了企业对池内其它企业专利诉讼强度;重复联盟次数越多、联盟学习强度越大,企业对池内其它企业发起专利诉讼的行为就越严重。研究结论在理论上可为专利池提供新的分析视角,在实践上可为企业实施专利联盟战略、有效运用并防范专利诉讼提供重要参考与借鉴。     

产业技术创新联盟防“道德风险”激励机制设计

产业技术创新联盟是中国近年来新出现的一种合作创新组织,其本质是一个合伙型自主工作团队,成员之间互为委托代理关系。运用合作博弈模型,从利益分配角度设计产业技术创新联盟防风险厌恶型成员“道德风险”的相互激励机制。可得出结论：提高联盟产出基数、降低联盟运行成本基数、提高成员产出分享比例,可激励其更加积极努力地投入联盟技术创新活动中。成员的努力程度提高,其个体效用和联盟总福利呈先增后减的趋势,其努力程度会保持在一个适当水平。而针对具有不同风险规避度的联盟成员,其个体效用和联盟总福利则会随着产出分享比例不同而呈现不同的变化趋势。对于风险规避度越高的成员,增加产出分享比例对其效用的边际贡献越小。     

Building capabilities to manage strategic alliances

Recently, academics have attributed a large part of alliance success to a firm's ability to successfully manage its alliances, also called its level of alliance management capability. We contribute to this growing body of literature by (1) verifying the impact of alliance management capability on alliance performance and (2) analyzing the drivers of alliance management capability. We measure this capability through four types of alliance learning processes and study how each of these processes affects alliance outcome. Furthermore, we take into account several possible drivers of alliance management capability such as organizational culture, commitment of the top team, alliance experience and the alliance function. We refine the results by examining how these factors affect each of the four learning processes underpinning alliance management capability. Our research model will be tested on a sample of 189 Belgian companies using PLS. We find that the commitment of the top management team is the most critical factor in explaining success with alliances.     

战略联盟伙伴选择、知识搜索与联盟创新绩效关系

战略联盟伙伴选择作为联盟形成的源头,既是管理联盟企业关系的关键,又是提升联盟绩效的核心。为从源头剖析联盟创新绩效影响因素,依据资源依赖理论,从战略导向视角出发,以长三角地区战略联盟企业调研数据为实证依据,构建并验证了战略联盟伙伴选择、知识搜索与联盟创新绩效间的理论框架。研究结果表明:①战略联盟伙伴选择的二元导向性（关系导向的联盟伙伴选择与市场导向的联盟伙伴选择）对联盟创新绩效有显著正向影响;②知识搜索（搜索宽度与搜索深度）在战略联盟伙伴选择与联盟创新绩效关系中起部分中介作用。该研究结果有助于厘清战略联盟伙伴选择二元导向性影响联盟创新绩效的作用机理,并为我国企业基于战略整体性选择合适的联盟伙伴提供理论依据与实践指导。
