Rural telephone in Indonesia and Thailand: Social and economic benefits

This article considers the need for telecommunications in the rural areas of Indonesia and Thailand. Using the findings from questionnaire surveys in the two countries, the authors examine how the telephone is used when limited facilities are available, the effects of telephone service in terms of improved communication and work efficiency, and the consequences of not having access to a telephone

东北亚地区物流合作的前景

本文认为,20世纪80年代以来,东北亚各国相互间贸易和投资规模的不断扩大及向纵深发展,有力地推动了本地区物流服务贸易的发展,特别是中、日、韩三国积极参与经济全球化进程,产业结构不断调整升级,迅速发展成全球制造业中心,成为世界物流合作最具活力和潜力的地区。文章提出,东北亚地区的物流合作已经具备了基本条件,应基于海运、空运的区位优势和物流的货物优势,建立东北亚地区海运物流体系、东北亚地区空运物流中心和类别相对集中的物流通道;东北亚地区的物流合作,要从整体上、战略上进行研究规划,制定出合作框架,确定合作的目标、原则、内容以及实现目标的途径和措施,建立合作交流机制,在互利互赢的基础上,提高东北亚地区物流合作的整体水平。     

新材料路液在工程中的应用

在施工过程中会产生大量废弃的土石方,对环境危害严重。同时,在工程建设中需要炸石采砂,对环境造成严重危害。路液以各类建筑土方、矿渣、工业废弃物、废弃海涂淤泥、河道疏浚淤泥为原材料,将其转化为基础材料,使用这些基础材料替代碎石、沙子等,并减少水泥用量。论文通过实地试验,采用路液与砂砾石进行对比,从经济、环保、稳定性及强度等方面进行分析,得出路液具有造价低、稳定性和强度高、施工速度快、交通零影响及生态环保的优点,拥有良好的环境、经济和社会效益。     

企业物流业务外包的利益与风险分析

企业物流业务外包能够减少设备投资,降低成本;集中有限资源,发展核心业务;得到更专业化的服务,提高服务质量。需要注意的问题是:物流业务外包在带来利益的同时,也隐藏着物流业务控制能力下降、客户关系管理削弱、信息泄露等风险。企业应正确识别核心竞争力,选择好外包伙伴,控制物流外包活动,调整企业内部组织结构,以"双赢"为原则,巩固合作关系。     

Generational Gap： Intrinsic （Non-monetary） Versus Extrinsic （Monetary） Rewards in the Workforce

Traditionally, organizations assume that compensation/pay and monetary benefits are what all employees need to work harder, be productive, or remain with the company. According to Abraham Maslow, within every person is a hierarchy of five needs： physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization needs Organizations must be able to identify what employees desire to secure optimum performance and to meet the needs of both employees and employers. This research focuses on the generational gap and the significance of intrinsic and extrinsic rewards in the workforce. The purpose and objective of this research are to test the significance of monetary versus non-monetary rewards among the different generations in the organization. A self-designed questionnaire distributed to a multi-generational group of employees of selected organizations was used to collect the analyzed data. Sixty-five （65%） responses were obtained. Secondary data were used to elucidate the needs in this area of study. Because the workforce is predicted to become more diverse in terms of age, organizations will be unlikely to implement one set of rewards for the multiple generations. This is due to the differing expectations and requirements among the generations. However, the results indicate no significant difference in monetary versus non-monetary rewards among the different generations in the workforce.     

重点国有林区产业结构综合效益的影响及评价

通过测算2003~2013年重点国有林区产业结构综合效益指数Z及产业结构贡献份额指数Z',对林区产业结构综合效益进行综合评价,得到以下主要结论:2003~2013年Z值与Z'值均大于零,反映了期间林区产业结构效益较好,产业结构实现了一定程度的优化;2005~2010年Z值与Z'值的变动趋势始终保持很高的一致性水平,说明产业结构调整长期以来对重点国有林区产业结构效益及经济发展具有重要影响;2003~2004年Z值和Z'值的变动趋势是相反的,Z值上升,Z'值下降,说明技术进步因素对改善林区产业结构效益同样具有积极作用。建议进一步调整和优化产业结构,增加产业发展的技术含量,为重点国有林区充分应对全面停伐新常态提供支撑。     

不同地板结构对建筑物节能防水性能提升研究

以具体工程的地板结构为案例,对比架空地板、普通实木地板以及普通钢筋混凝土地板在施工过程中产生的环境效益,系统研究建筑物的节能防水性、尺寸匹配,进而评价不同地板结构对建筑物的节能防水性能的影响。结果表明: 普通实木地板以及普通钢筋混凝土地板夏季易吸湿膨胀,冬季易干缩,节能防水性能较差;架空地板节能防水性、尺寸匹配等性能均优于普通实木地板以及普通钢筋混凝土地板,具有施工方便、耐久性好、易维修等特点,具有广阔的应用前景。     

How looking forward over the short period to-go affects consumer enjoyment: Role of temporal scarcity in access-based services

Access-based services (ABS) have shown tremendous growth recently. We examine the relationship between service period framing and consumers’ anticipated ABS enjoyment. Four scenario-based experiments revealed that focus frame of the service period affected anticipated enjoyment of upcoming ABS experiences and this effect is mediated by perceived temporal scarcity. We also examine the moderating role of perceived product benefits, indicating that this mediated focus-frame effect is amplified among consumers tending to pursue hedonic benefits from the borrowed goods. Lastly, we confirm the anticipated enjoyment’s mediating role on the relationship between focus frame and consumers’ positive behaviors and attitudes toward ABS.
