Ethical Dilemmas in Performance Measurement

In this article we discuss the ethical dilemmas facing performance evaluators and the "evaluatees" whose performances are measured in a business context. The concepts of role morality and common morality are used to develop a framework of behaviors that are normally seen as the moral responsibilities of these actors. This framework is used to analyze, based on four empirical situations, why the implementation of a performance measurement system has not been as effective as expected. It was concluded that, in these four cases, unethical behavior (i.e. deviations from the ethical behaviors identified in the framework) provided, at least to some extent, an explanation for the lower than expected effectiveness of the performance measurement procedures. At the end of the paper we present an agenda for further research through which the framework could be further developed and systematically applied to a broader set of cases.

The structure and nodes’ role of the world coal trade network

This paper employs the network approach to study the structure and nodes’ role of the world coal trade network. Based on the bilateral coal trade data of 212 countries (or regions) over the period from 2001 to 2010, this study analyses the world coal trade network, the network’s directionality and heterogeneity, and the roles of network nodes. It is found that the size of the world coal trade network is relatively stable, while the trade links and volume have been growing overtime. Because of the buyer–seller dual structure between exporters and importers, the network shows strong directionality. It also exhibits heterogeneity because of the uneven distribution of trade among different countries. In general, most countries can be classified as the in-nodes, followed by the middleman-nodes, then the cycle-nodes and out-nodes. Finally, the web shows a remarkably significant core–periphery structure and core–half-an-edge–edge structure and the core layers of each model are quite stable.     

旅游经济与经济增长关系研究——以南京市为例

以旅游经济和经济增长理论为基础,对南京市旅游收入与南京市国内生产总值、南京市旅游接待人数进行单位根检验与协整检验后,进行回归分析。结果表明,南京市旅游收入、南京市国内生产总值、南京市旅游接待人数三者之间存在协整关系。从长期看,南京市旅游收入与南京市国内生产总值、南京市旅游接待人数之间构成均衡关系,南京市国内生产总值每增长1%,南京市旅游收入将平均增长0.369%;南京市旅游接待人数每增长1%,南京市旅游收入将平均增长0.846%;从短期看,南京市国内生产总值对南京市旅游收入的增长影响不明显,南京市旅游接待人数对南京市旅游收入的增长影响明显,短期弹性为0.871。Granger因果检验结果表明南京市国内生产总值增长、南京市旅游接待人数增长是南京市旅游收入增长的Granger原因。     

破除农民工低学历高收入的认识误区和实践藩篱

文章以破除"农民工低学历高收入"的认识误区为逻辑起点,详细剖析了农民工特别是从事建筑、装修等工种的农民工所谓的"高收入"是由长劳动时间、高劳动强度、高劳动风险和牺牲发展前途为代价换来的,其小时工资并不比社会其他行业同层次人员高。在此基础上,实证分析了农民工收入与其受教育程度的正相关性;从正反两方面确立了关于农民工教育和收入问题上的价值评价标准和价值导向;最后,从切实提高农村义务教育质量、真正发挥职业教育在农村人才培养的作用、优化职业教育专业结构和课程设置、切实提高农民工接受职业培训机会和效果四个方面提出了提高农民工教育程度和收入水平的实践举措。     

Does character's gender matter in inspirational brand story? Exploring the moderating effect of gender role conformity

Inspirational brand story is a widely used marketing strategy in brand building. However, few empirical studies have investigated the underlying mechanism and boundary conditions of a successful brand story strategy. The current study examined the influence of lead character's gender in inspirational brand story on consumer–brand identification based on the social identity theory, benevolent sexism, and gender schema theory. Results from two experiments demonstrated that the gender of inspirational brand stories has an impact on consumer brand identity through the mediation effect of sympathy. Compared with a male character, a female character elicits viewers' sympathy, which results in high brand identification. Such a gender effect is stronger when there is a high level of perceived gender role conformity. Theoretical and managerial implications are discussed.     

中国经济增长中的信贷结构与效率实证分析

本文应用典型相关分析方法对中国产业增长与信贷结构关系进行了实证研究。信贷结构与产业增长具有较强的典型相关性,信贷的政府配给成功地支持了中国的工业化进程。与此同时,改革开放以来中国形成的产业结构层面的信贷双重配给,一定程度上导致了信贷结构与产业结构的扭曲。
