Web content mining for comparing corporate and third‐party online reporting: a case study on solid waste management

This study investigates the coverage of solid waste management on 1142 websites maintained by companies, news media and non‐governmental organizations to validate an automated approach to content and language analysis. First, a frequency analysis of waste management terms sheds light on the breadth and depth of their environmental discourses, revealing that corporate and media attention to waste management is small compared with that of non‐governmental organizations. Second, an investigation of their attitudes toward waste management suggests that companies avoid negative information in environmental communication, unlike news media or non‐governmental organizations. Ultimately, an automated tool for ontology building is employed to gain insights into companies' shared understanding of waste management. The ontology obtained indicates that companies conceptualize waste management as a business process rather than framing it from an ecological perspective, which is in line with findings from previous research.

资产减值、披露格式和信息含量——基于中国资产减值准备明细表的经验证据

2006年我国的企业会计准则不但改变了资产减值的计提和转回的内容,还修改了资产减值的披露格式,即取消了资产减值准备明细表,只要求披露资产减值准备总额。通过对我国2001-2006年的上市公司数据的分析,研究了资产减值的披露格式和信息含量的关系。研究发现,资产减值的明细数据的信息含量显著高于资产减值总额,同时资产减值的各项明细数据的预测能力和解释能力是有差异的。研究结论表明,资产减值的披露格式的改变(即取消资产减值准备明细表)降低了会计报表的信息含量。

料浆水分旋转式检测头数学模型的建立

利用旋转式检测头测量料浆的水分含量时,料浆水分含量的变化可引起检测头所受的阻力矩发生变化,其转速也会发生相应改变。对实验数据进行多元线性回归处理,建立了检测头的数学模型,即料浆水分含量δ、检测头转速脉冲P及数字电压U之间的关系,通过测量检测头的转速可间接地测量料浆的水分含量或浓度。

Corporate discourse and environmental performance in Argentina

There is substantial research and policy interest in the relationship between firms and the natural environment, including how this relationship is influenced by regulators, international pressures, rival firms and stakeholder demands. With some exceptions, the ‘softer’ dimensions of environmental aspect management – how attitudes, beliefs and perceptions and the human factors drive corporate behaviour – have been understudied. The work that exists tends to be informal, and allows little scope for the statistical validation that is required for robust inference. This paper examines whether corporate values towards the environment affect a firm's environmental performance. It uses survey methods as well as content and discourse analyses of interview text and corporate reports and web sites to explore the links between managerial ‘mindsets’ and the environmental performance of the firms of which they are a part. Though the application is Argentina, the lessons learned can be generalized to other developing and industrialized countries. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment.     

中国装备制造业出口品国内技术含量的动态变迁及国际比较——基于非竞争型投入产出表的研究

利用非竞争型投入产出表和技术含量指数,测算了中国、德国、日本、美国装备制造业出口品的复合技术含量、国内技术含量和国内技术含量指数,发现中国装备制造业出口品技术含量大致经历了两个阶段,分别是1995—2003年的平稳上升阶段和2003—2011年的国内技术含量指数递减阶段。与德国、日本和美国的比较发现,无论装备制造业整体还是细分行业,中国装备制造业出口品的国内技术含量与主要发达国家间存在着明显的差距。最后,在上述分析基础上,提出了提高中国装备制造业出口品国内技术含量的政策建议。     

Environmental Reporting of Global Corporations: A Content Analysis based on Website Disclosures

Today, more corporations disclose information about their environmental performance in response to stakeholder demands of environmental responsibility and accountability. What information do corporations disclose on their websites? This paper investigates the environmental management policies and practices of the 200 largest corporations in the world. Based on a content analysis of the environmental reports of Fortune’s Global 200 companies, this research analyzes the content of corporate environmental disclosures with respect to the following seven areas: environmental planning considerations, top management support to the institutionalization of environmental concerns, environmental structures and organizing specifics, environmental leadership activities, environmental control, external validations or certifications of environmental programs, and forms of corporate environmental disclosures.
