When new product development fails in China: mediating effects of voice behaviour and learning from failure

This paper investigates conflicts following a new product development (NPD) failure. Conducted in a Chinese business setting, the study examines whether voice behaviour and learning from failure mediate the relationship between task- and emotional conflict emerging from NPD failure. Our findings indicate that voice behaviour and learning from failure are necessary to effectively reduce task and emotional conflict and thus to enhance future NPD. Specifically, it is revealed that emotional conflict leads to a reduced level; and that voice behaviour and learning from failure are significant mediators that influences the relationships between emotional and task conflicts with it.     

土地领域供给侧结构性改革的重心和方向

研究目的:分析土地领域供给侧结构性改革的本质,研究提出土地领域供给侧结构性改革的重心和方向。研究方法:基于微观经济学和土地经济学理论,结合中国推进供给侧结构性改革的战略和实践,从中国土地市场的特殊性入手,分析中国土地市场供需信号传导、市场主体构成和市场供需平衡,探求推进土地领域供给侧结构性改革的路径。研究结果:(1)地方政府成为土地市场中的主体并发挥主导作用,形成了中国土地市场的特殊性。政府与市场的进退,关键考量是政府对土地市场的把控能力能否优于建设一个相对竞争充分的土地市场。(2)土地市场供需信号失灵的原因,主要来自于土地要素让渡市场,一方面市场失灵导致企业追求高利润过滤真实需求信号而不受市场之制,另一方面地方政府市场定位放大市场有偏信号,两者共振,形成土地市场整体的有偏预期,共同引起土地市场失衡。研究结论:推进土地领域供给侧结构性改革,(1)关键是引导土地市场向满足公众真实需求的方向转化、生产企业向转变生产方式和发展方向的转变;(2)重点是逐步实现土地征收市场与土地让渡市场的对接,实现土地供需信号畅通传导并有效指导企业开展满足公众需求的生产活动;(3)方向是弱化政府在土地要素让渡市场和征收市场中的市场主体地位,强化并发挥政府在土地市场中的管理、监督和调控的作用;(4)途径是继续强化和充分发挥政府在土地规划、土地市场、土地供应、农地制度改革中的规制作用。

掺加矿物掺加料的石膏砌块的铝硅酸盐破坏基理

掺加水泥及粉煤灰等矿物掺合料的石膏砌块既存在钙矾石型破坏,也存在碳硫硅钙石型破坏,建议在以石膏为主要基材的水泥-石膏体系中,水泥的掺加量宜控制在10％以内;水泥和粉煤灰等矿物掺合料的总掺加量应控制在30％以内,以保证石膏制品的稳定.     

A barrier options approach to modeling project failure: The case of hydrogen fuel infrastructure

Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles have the potential to contribute to a sustainable transport system with zero tailpipe emissions. This requires the construction of a network of fuel stations, a long-term, expensive and highly uncertain investment. We contribute to the literature by including a knock-out barrier option in an n-fold compound real option model to take account of immediate project failure in a multi-stage sequential investment project. Our model allows to explicitly incorporate the default possibility of large-scale energy infrastructure projects. In our case study of hydrogen infrastructure development, we find that even for the least conservative valuation method no profitable business case can be made for the development of hydrogen as a sustainable transportation mode. However, we do provide some suggestive scenarios that plausible tax schedules can be designed to overcome the starting problems for hydrogen infrastructure development.     

The influence of self-construal and co-consumption others on consumer complaining behavior

Consumers show great individual variability in complaining behavior even after experiencing similar service failures. The present study examined the effect of self-construal and co-consumption others on consumer complaining behavior following a service failure. Based on an experimental study with a sample of 202 in a restaurant context, MANCOVA results revealed significant effects of self-construal on voice response and switching behavior. The results also showed a significant interaction effect of self-construal and the presence of co-consumption others on switching behavior. The findings shed light into the intrapersonal and interpersonal dynamics at work when consumers react to service failures. Theoretical and managerial implications of the findings are also discussed.     

The Discovery of the Third World

Corporatism in the academy continues to invite controversy just as it did nearly a century ago. Thorstein Veblen articulated many of the early concerns in Higher Learning in America ([1918] 1965). Many current commentaries on the subject echo Veblen's sentiments but appear to be oblivious of his tremendous intellectual legacy. This sad state of affairs may be a product of the severe reaction of early critics to Higher Learning followed by years of scholarly indifference. Nevertheless, the modern critiques of corporatism in the academy attest to the remarkable prescience of Veblen and his unique evolutionary perspective. Furthermore, critical opinion to the contrary, Higher Learning lacks neither logical consistency nor methodological integrity. Instead, Veblen's thoughts on the limits of pragmatic utilitarianism offer valuable insight into the ongoing controversy surrounding corporatism and higher learning.
