浅谈我国CFO角色定位

我国的企业正面临着严峻的挑战,除了具有与世界上别的公司相同的因素外,还包括许多我国市场经济转型体制下所特有的因素。在这种情况下,企业所需要的不是一般的CFO,而是高素质、高水平的 CFO,他们既要具备与世界接轨的先进的财务金融知识和技能,还要充分了解我国的国情。     

中国文化产业发展的区域特征与成因研究——基于第五次和第六次人口普查数据

利用第五次和第六次人口普查数据探讨了中国31省市区文化产业发展的区域特征及其影响因素.对31省市区文化产业就业人数的分析表明,进入新世纪以来,文化产业发展呈显著不平衡,主要表现在行业间发展不平衡和空间分布上不平衡.计量检验显示,地区生活质量、开放度、人口密度和区位条件都是影响中国文化产业区域发展差异的重要因素,但影响传统文化产业和新兴文化产业发展的主要因素是不同的.今后各地区应着重从优化城市生活质量和增强开放性出发,利用城市化经济和地方化经济形成循环累计因果效应,推动文化产业发展.     

旅游个性化推介服务的未来发展：时空一体化

文章在问题解决策略剖析基础上,指出了旅游个性化推介服务的未来发展方向：时空一体化,并认为旅游网站、LBS网站和ESNs3种平台的整合会成为发展的突破点。以携程网、人人网、切客网等20多个代表性旅游网站、ESNs和LBS网站统计数据为基础,分析了3类平台当前的发展状态,发现3种平台具有趋向融合的发展态势,阐明了旅游个性化推介服务向时空一体方向发展的信息化基础。设计了“信息检索、个性旅行计划辅助决策、动态结伴同游、商务推介、景区导航、导游实时到岗服务、会员口碑推介、旅游预警”等8项时空一体个性化服务内容,是对旅游电子商务、旅游信息化未来发展方向的前瞻性思考。     

中国OFDI区位选择决定因素研究——基于2003-2014年28个经济体面板数据

在国别差异视角下选取2003-2014年28个主要国家和地区的面板数据,并将所有样本国家分为发达经济体和发展中经济体两类,借助于投资引力模型重点考察了东道国市场因素、资源禀赋因素和技术因素对我国对外直接投资区位选择的影响,研究发现,我国OFDI区位选择呈现出明显的国别差异,对发达经济体的投资同时受到市场规模因素和技术禀赋因素的影响,对发展中经济体的投资同时受到市场规模因素和资源禀赋因素的影响,另外还发现随着技术水平的提升和运输工具的革新,距离不再是我国OFDI区位选择的决定因素。     

采用目标假设的三被动式传感器数据关联算法

被动式传感器目标跟踪是多传感器多目标跟踪领域的一个重要研究方向。针对三被动式传感器多目标定位系统全局最优数据关联的三维分配问题,在允许传感器漏检和虚警的情况下,通过分析拉格朗日松弛算法,提出一种假定真实目标的快速收敛算法。该算法通过粗关联假定真实目标并重新修改代价矩阵,然后进行细关联,使得拉格朗日松弛算法在保证关联精度的前提下有效地提高了收敛速度。理论分析和实验结果表明,该算法提高了数据关联的速度,并在一定程度上提高了关联准确率。     

Geography and capital structure

We investigate the impact of geographic location on firms’ capital structure decisions. We find strong evidence that location of a firm influences its capital structure. In particular, we find that centrally located firms have lower leverage ratios than do remotely located ones. Moreover, consistent with the hypothesis that those remotely located firms face more severe adverse selection problems, the effect of geographic location on capital structure is more pronounced when information asymmetry is higher. We further examine alternative explanations of the negative relation between firm geographic proximity and capital structure and show that the financial constraint effect and industry clustering effect do not explain our results.

Warehouse location problems for air freight forwarders: a challenge created by the airport relocation

The move of Hong Kong International Airport from the city centre to a suburban area in July 1998 provided sufficient capacity to meet the increasing demand of passenger and air-cargo flows in Hong Kong in the foreseeable future. However, the move has adverse side effects such as causing the readjustment of many existing systems and creating many imminent strategic problems. One of such problems is the warehouse location of freight forwarders: they have to decide whether they should locate their warehouses in the new airport, in current locations, or in new locations somewhere in the city. This paper delineates the results of a survey conducted in the summer of 1997 before the airport was relocated. The survey asked what decisions the freight forwarders had made and how they evaluated some potential warehouse locations. The paper also considers two mathematical models, which explain and predict, respectively, the location pattern of freight forwarder warehouses before and after the relocation of the airport.     

Query Titles in Travel Forums: Nature and Impacts on Responses

Despite travel forums being an influential source of electronic word of mouth in the tourism context, the nature of interaction between information inquirers and contributors is yet to be appraised. This study attempts to fill the knowledge gap by exploring the inquiry titles in a travel forum in terms of its nature and influence on viewers’ responses. For empirical examination, thread titles for queries on South Korea and Japan that were posted in the Lonely Planet Thorn tree forum between March 2009 and February 2010 were collected (n?=?220) and analyzed. The results reveal that search by location is prevalent when potential tourists post a query in a travel forum. Search by interest is more likely at the city or regional level, while search by general (SBG) topic is prevalent in national-level search. The nature of inquiry title also reflects the intended length of stay at a destination. SBG in title significantly outweighs other categories in terms of the number of views and replies. Implication of findings and directions for future study are discussed.     

Theoretical,empirical, and operational models in hotel location research

This paper aims to review past literature on hotel location models and evaluate the state of the art, as well as set out future directions. This study divides hotel location models into three major categories: theoretical models, empirical models, and operational models. Four theoretical hotel location models are reviewed and discussed, including the tourist-historic city model, the mono-centric model, the agglomeration model, and the multi-dimensional model. Based on previous literature, six empirical models and three operational models of hotel location are elaborated. Furthermore, some challenges related to hotel location studies are discussed, and future research directions are provided. In particular, we advocate the development of more sophisticated hotel location models and the use of Geographic Information System (GIS) in hotel location analysis.     

Types of firms generating network externalities and MNCs' co‐location decisions

This study identifies and examines sources of network externalities that influence MNCs to agglomerate their foreign operations in specific regions. Using data for Korean firms that invested in China, this study found that network externalities were sensitive to the types of firms constituting a regional network. It also found stronger network externalities within firms than across firms, from firms of the same nationality than from those of different nationalities, and from firms in the same industry than from those of different industries. As we defined the types of firms more precisely, distinctive curvilinear relationships between network externalities and the likelihood of co‐location emerged. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
