Stakeholder management in sustainable supply chains: A case study of the bioenergy industry

Engaging with stakeholders and managing their issues when striving for a sustainable supply chain (SC) is a significant challenge. Although most studies on sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) consider stakeholder management necessary, little is known about related stakeholder management practices in SSCM. Thus, this paper seeks to enrich the theoretical debate on stakeholder management practices in SSCM through a case study approach to bioenergy SCs in Chile. Based on 28 interviews with SC actors and representatives from the surrounding stakeholder environment, the deductive–inductive analysis reveals that stakeholder management combines different practices to discuss stakeholder concerns, address them, and evaluate the process at the SC's external and internal levels. We propose structuring these practices based on two dimensions: “practices to address stakeholder requirements” and “practices whereby stakeholders are integrated.” The analysis' results indicate that although two-way communication with stakeholders can be seen as the core of stakeholder management, a certain willingness to learn and transform SC design is a prerequisite for true orientation toward stakeholder management in SSCM. Additionally, linkage development and local anchoring are practices used to obtain further legitimacy at the external level. Building on these findings, this study can guide practitioners in engaging with stakeholders and managing their issues across the SC.     

家族企业中的歧视现象 --作为非正式治理机制的歧视

歧视现象普遍存在于家族企业，本文认为，歧视是家族企业在正式治理机制弱化情况下实施的一种非正式治理机制。家族企业扩张和管理的复杂化，要求雇佣高能力的外部代理人开展专业化分工，但是，现有的正式治理机制难以抑制外部代理人的寻租行为，过高的代理成本阻碍了分工的深入。业主会利用家族代理人和外部代理人共享的“准私人信息”，以及代理人之间信息租金的不同分布，根据血亲关系和私人关系在不同代理人之间实施歧视，通过给与家族代理人优厚待遇，达到抽取外部代理人的信息租金，降低代理成本的目的。     

中日科研资助体系对比研究及启示

自2015年来深化科技体制改革进入关键期,再造国家科研资助体系提上日程。从竞争性与非竞争性的二元结构资助体系、产学合作政策两个维度,对比分析中日两国的科研资助体系发现,当前我国还存在非竞争性科研经费比例偏低、竞争性资助计划覆盖领域和人群不够充分、对产学研合作的政策引导尚存不足等问题。因此,还需进一步优化科研资助体系,使其在二元结构、覆盖面等方面更加合理,并强化对产学研合作的政策规范和引导。     

福建会奖旅游区域协同机制研究

会奖旅游通过有效集成会展与旅游共享资源,产生关联效应、规模效应,带动区域经济增长。福建拥有独特旅游资源和品牌,同时也有成熟的商务客流接待基础,会奖旅游发展却相对滞后,行业和行政层面的重视程度也不高。会奖旅游涉及旅游业、会展业乃至各行业的商贸活动,各地区各行业协同合作才会取得有效成果。运用协同学的圈层理论,试图构建中心--节点结构的会奖旅游圈层;根据协同系统中子系统的自组织性,做好目的地会奖旅游路线的连结,明确福建省会奖旅游圈层内的枢纽-网络结构;通过协同子系统之间的伺服、竞争和涨落,组织好各区域会奖旅游市场、资源、产品等要素,建立制度、政策、营销、信息等行政管理层面的协同机制。     

面向新型城镇化的知识协同创新模式构建

知识产生科技,科技服务于生产,未来是知识经济社会,新型城镇化建设也要在这个历史范畴中走过。如何让知识服务业与新型城镇化建设融为一体,在发展知识服务业的同时又能加快新型城镇化建设的步伐是当今要解决的主要问题。以此为研究切入点,构建了面向城镇化的知识协同创新模式,该模式具有高度的互动性特征,其应以中介机构为协调、以高校为主导、创新的主体应趋于民众化的指导原则来构建。该模式的应用,一方面有利于充实城镇化发展理论的研究内容,另一方面可以为推动城镇化发展和经济社会加速转型提供科学思想支撑。     

The Organizational Innovation System: A systemic framework for radical innovation at the organizational level

Most research on innovation management at the organizational level has typically been focused on one specific innovation project phase or innovation management concept. This has resulted in many valuable insights, though scattered in different (innovation) research fields and studies. With the development of the Organizational Innovation System (OIS), we bring together important insights from the Innovation Systems, Open Innovation and other related fields into a guiding concept useful for both innovation managers developing (radical) innovations and innovation scholars. In this paper, we define the OIS and its key structural components, and discuss the identified functions and categories of potential imperfections. With the OIS, we provide a holistic, hands-on concept currently lacking in the open innovation approach. From the conceptualization, a framework for analysis is put forward which provides structure to the study of ongoing and finished innovation processes. Additionally, the development of the OIS is a first step in the development of a currently underdeveloped micro-level within the innovation systems perspective. The insights in OISs and the future insights derived from analytical efforts, will not only be beneficial for the performance of innovating organizations and organizational innovation systems but also for the performance of the higher, interconnected system levels.

Bridging the cultural divide: Trust formation in university–industry research collaborations in the US,Japan, and South Korea

Academia and industry increasingly work together, but this is not always an easy endeavor. In this article we investigate how relational mechanisms facilitate trust formation in university–industry research collaborations (UICs) in three countries and contribute to the understanding of international similarities and differences in UICs by considering institutional factors, specifically, the strength and maturity of UICs in each country. Analyzing survey data of 618 recent UICs in the US, Japan, and South Korea, we identify the activities of innovation champions as a critical trust building mechanism between firms and universities that complements initial trust formation through tie strength, partner reputation, and contractual safeguards. We find that partner reputation and champion behavior are more important for trust formation in South Korea than in the US and Japan, indicating that in ‘emerging UIC countries’ where most firms and universities have little collaboration experience, reputation and the leadership by innovation champions are more important for trust formation in UICs than in ‘advanced UIC countries’ with strong and mature UIC networks. From a public policy perspective, our findings suggest that networks between firms and universities should be generally strengthened and collaboration partners should be provided with effective contractual safeguards to enhance trust formation in UICs.
