Do Individual Employees' Learning Goal Orientation and Civic Virtue Matter? A Micro‐Foundations Perspective on Firm Absorptive Capacity

Research summary : In this study, we build on the micro‐foundations perspective and investigate how individual characteristics contribute to the development of firm absorptive capacity. In particular, we assess how individual learning goal orientation affects firm potential and realized absorptive capacity. Furthermore, we study how individuals' civic virtue acts as a micro‐level social integration mechanism that moderates the effect from firm realized absorptive capacity to potential absorptive capacity. Using the multilevel structural equation modeling technique and data from 871 core‐knowledge employees nested in 139 high‐technology firms, we find support to our major hypotheses. Together, this study finds support for the micro‐foundations' perspective and generates novel insights on how individual‐level factors could be linked with firm‐level heterogeneity in absorptive capacity. Managerial summary : We study how employees' characteristics contribute to a firm's absorptive capacity, that is, the ability of a firm to identify, assimilate, and exploit knowledge from the environment. Because firms have increasingly tapped into external resources to foster innovation over the past two decades, absorptive capacity is crucial to firm learning and success. Using data from 871 core‐knowledge employees in 139 high‐technology firms, we find that individual employees' learning goal orientation, the tendency to seek improvements in employees' competence and to understand or master new things advances the development of a firm's potential and realized absorptive capacity. More important, individual employees' civic virtue, the discretionary involvement in company issues, serves as a social integration mechanism that reduces the gap between firm potential and realized absorptive capacity.

Structure Plan Policies for Retail Provision in Rural Areas: A Case Study of South West England

Occupations as diverse as nursing, journalism and marketing have strengthened their claim to professional status and current research suggests that professional associations played a critical part in the process of professionalisation. Following a review of three conceptual approaches to understanding contemporary professionalisation strategies, this paper examines the case of British tourism. It traces the historical development and assesses the current practice of the two main professional associations in the sector. The analysis shows that the ‘professionalisation project’ has largely failed and argues that contemporary frameworks for understanding professionalisation strategies are somewhat deficient when applied to tourism.     

Exploring Civic Engagement Through Seniors' Good Citizenship Behavior Within Clubs

The argument for civic engagement is that it enables individuals to feel empowered and shapes their political and social attitudes which are attributes that promote individuals to be better citizens. This study focuses on senior citizens, and we use the place-attachment theory to better understand the good citizenship behavior of seniors within clubs, and we further explore how this behavior affects their civic engagement. The findings provide insights into seniors' civic engagement within the confines of clubs. As a result of these findings, we go on to suggest a framework for understanding the behavior of civic engagement. Our model of seniors' civic engagement in clubs provides greater insights for academics and policy makers on the sources and physical places that can foster communities to come together for shared interaction and cohesion.     

我国农产品地理标志法律保护探析

农产品地理标志是发展农业经济,促进农业可持续发展的一项重要资源。虽然我国现在已经初步建立了农产品地理标志法律保护体系,但双重保护模式、保护观念与措施缺失、农户和企业质量意识淡薄等问题严重制约了农产品地理标志的保护。目前,必须在澄清对地理标志及其相关概念的各种模糊或不准确认识的基础上,制定地理标志法,从法律法规层面引导地理标志行业协会建设,完善对农产品地理标志的法律保护。     

公共政策过程中公民参与的作用及其限制性因素分析

公民参与是民主政治的必然趋势。有关公民参与的研究既有政治学的视角,也有公共行政学的视角。公共行政学视野里的公民参与研究涉及到公民参与政策制定、执行、评估的全过程。公民通过各种合法途径表达利益需求,使政策更具有回应性,更符合民众的需要。公民参与具有重要的作用,但其作用的发挥却受很多因素的限制。因此,对公民参与的作用需要作辩证的理解。只有这样,才能在政策过程中融入有效的、积极的公民参与。     

我国行业协会在外贸争端中的作用及发展对策

由于行业代表性不强、结构性失衡、定位不明确、专业化水平低等原因,导致我国行业协会在化解外贸争端方面发挥失利。在应对外贸争端时,行业协会应通过积极参与外贸预警、开展对外公关、组织企业应诉等事前、事中、事后行动成为应对贸易摩擦的主要力量;通过搜集不公平贸易信息,代表行业利益积极开展贸易救济申诉,实行技术性贸易措施,成为对外贸易救济中的主要力量。最后提出健全相关法律法规,深化改革、去除行政色彩,全力打造专业化、职业化、年轻化的人才队伍等发展对策。     

Industry associations and non-competitive behaviour in Australian wool marketing: Evidence from the Melbourne Woolbrokers' Association, 1890–1939

From the 1890s the sale of Australian wool was organised through a series of regionally based associations of wool selling brokers and wool buyers. They engaged in cartel-type behaviour by price fixing and exclusive dealing. We ask the question whether the wool selling brokers exploited their monopoly power to thefull in setting fees and charges paid by the growers and buyers. Association records provide data on the pricing structure and rationale for changes. We surmise that the existence of the cartel lifted prices above competitive levels. However, the pricing behaviour was moderated to a strong form of limit pricing.
