中国经济转型成功的阻碍因素分析

在过去30多年的时间里,中国经济转型经历了从计划到市场的转变、从粗放型经济增长方式到集约型经济增长方式的转变、从依靠投资、出口拉动经济到依靠内需拉动经济的转变。中国经济转型的内容包括了经济体制的改革、经济增长方式的提升和经济结构的调整,但是这几方面都没有取得理想的效果。本文介绍了中国经济转型的历史沿革和现实状况,分析了几次经济转型都不完全成功的阻碍因素,并且在此基础上提出了突破当前经济转型阻碍的几点措施。     

日本流通结构变化特征研究

20世纪90年代以来,日本流通结构发生了重要的变化,主要表现为零售组织结构从众多小规模分散性构造向大中小比例适当、大规模集中性的构造转换、批发环节短缩化、物流组织社会化、流通业态多样化、流通企业市场竞争多样化、流通渠道扁平化和流通者主导化等特征。这些变化特征对日本经济效率化和经济结构改革将产生重要影响。     

外资银行参股中资银行的选择模式

至2006年12月11日,中国市场向外资全面开放。外国银行以参股中国的银行来迅速渗透市场,已成为外资银行投资的一种重要方式。四大国有银行轰轰烈烈的IPO,将股份制改革推向高潮。在这样的大环境下,外国银行参股国有商业银行,相比较中小银行,国有银行的优势对外资银行更加具有吸引力。参股时,外资银行应当注意针对国有银行关心的技术转移度提出合适的方案,同时分散投资以降低非系统风险,获得理想的投资状态。     

结构冲击与结构转换对中国地区差距变化的影响

中国各地之间存在显著的产业结构差异,但现有关于中国地区收入差距的文献多受新古典单部门增长模型的影响,忽视结构冲击与结构转换的作用。通过构造变量,本文将各地区的实际增长率分解为结构冲击、结构转换9生产率增长三部分,从而克服了以往研究之不足。研究发现,结构冲击在1978年-1990年缩小了地区差距,但1990年—2002年扩大了地区差距;结构转换在整个改革期间均缩小了地区差距,从而加快农业发展和中西部地区产业结构转换有助于改善中国的地区收入分配状况。

Journeys of well-being: Women's travel narratives of transformation and self-discovery in Italy

Travel narratives can shape tourist imaginings about places, and are a useful tool for understanding tourist experiences. One long-standing media trope is the transformative potential of travel to Italy, especially for women. In this qualitative phenomenological study, contemporary non-fiction books written by women about their travel experiences in Italy were analysed, using well-being as a theoretical framework. Six well-being dimensions were found to be present in these narratives, with the first five reflecting the dimensions of the DRAMMA model of triggers promoting well-being in leisure, alongside an additional dimension drawn from the PERMA model of well-being. Both hedonic and eudaimonic forms of well-being were mentioned. Identity, in terms of self-discovery and reinventing oneself, underpinned a number of these dimensions. The study extends work on travel imaginings beyond the fictional literary or film context and has practical implications for the promotion of destinations and marketing tourism as an avenue towards well-being.     

Travel writers and the nature of self: Essentialism,transformation and (online) construction

A lacuna of academic research exists that explores contemporary travel writers’ lived experience, particularly how they perceive their s​ense of self through their work as a forum for self-discovery and self-transformation. Using the essentialist self and socially constructed selves as theoretical frameworks, this research extends the concept of multiple selves to these writers and new forms of online media. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 47 travel writers and data were analysed using an Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis. Findings suggest that many travel writers (co)construct an online self and use their writing to transform themselves. The cathartic process of writing, interaction with their readership and the importance of establishing a social identity online emerged as influences on the nature of self.     

基于模块化核心的流程银行变革研究

模块化管理是当前国际银行变革与发展的主流模式,模块化以网络化的组织形式,实现了各种资源在银行内部、银行与外部经济组织之间的有效整合。模块化体现了客户导向、市场观念和成本的最小化等基本管理理念。模块化应用到流程银行建设是中国金融界的全新经营管理视角和新的尝试,既借鉴了美国等企业和银行的成功经验,又为了解决中国银行业突出存在的问题——部门银行。中国目前的银行开始实行了一些流程银行方面的初步探索,但认识还不清晰,措施还不完善,变革成效还不明显,未来的变革之路还很长。流程银行的模块化研究很好的回答了这一系列的管理问题,指明了中国商业银行未来"流程银行"建设的目标和方向。     

Coffee value chains on the move: Evidence in Ethiopia

Important changes have happened to the upstream segment of the coffee sector in Ethiopia - Africa’s biggest - in the last decade, as illustrated by the increasing adoption of improved production, harvest, and post-harvest practices. Upstream marketing has also improved and there have been large investments in processing capacity, shown by the extended coverage of wet mills. These improved practices are shown to be associated with positive impacts on coffee productivity and prices. Changes appear to be linked with multiple factors including local market reform, greater presence of public extension agents, high international prices, and a push for certification by international buyers. On the other hand, a combination of production (lack of improved seedlings, weather and disease shocks) as well as institutional issues (saving constraints and lack of vertical integration and traceability) have seemingly impeded more widespread uptake of improved practices and therefore better farm performance. The study illustrates the significant complexity in obtaining transformation at the farm level in these settings.     

Applying complexity theory to deepen service dominant logic: Configural analysis of customer experience-and-outcome assessments of professional services for personal transformations

Recognizing Gigerenzer's (1991) dictum that scientists' tools are not neutral (tools-in-use influence theory formulation as well as data interpretation), this article reports theory and examines data in ways that transcend the dominant logics for variable-based and case-based analyses. The theory and data analysis tests key propositions in complexity theory: (1) no single antecedent condition is a sufficient or necessary indicator of a high score in an outcome condition; (2) a few of many available complex configurations of antecedent conditions are sufficient indicators of high scores in an outcome condition; (3) contrarian cases occur, that is, low scores in a single antecedent condition associates with both high and low scores for an outcome condition for different cases; (4) causal asymmetry occurs, that is, accurate causal models for high scores for an outcome condition are not the mirror opposites of causal models for low scores for the same outcome condition. The study tests and supports these propositions in the context of customer assessments (n = 436) of service facets and service outcome evaluations for assisted temporary-transformations of self via beauty salon and spa treatments. The findings contribute to advancing a nuanced theory of how customers' service evaluations relate to their assessments of overall service quality and intentions to use the service. The findings support the need for service managers to be vigilant in fine-tuning service facets and service enactment to achieve the objective of high customer retention.
