基于生命周期理论的农业高新产业风险管理

基于生命周期理论,可将农业高新技术产业划分为种子期、成长期、成熟期和升级期四个阶段。文章根据产业化过程中每一阶段的特征,分析了各阶段的主要风险,如技术风险、市场风险、财务风险等的表现和成因,并相应提出有关加强知识产权的认定和保护、建立财政支持的农业科技保险、完善资本市场多渠道融资等方面的风险管理措施。     

The impact of SARS on China's human resources: implications for the labour market and level of unemployment in the service sector in Beijing,Guangzhou and Shanghai

In this paper, we examine the effects of SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) on China's human resources, its labour-market and its level of employment and unemployment, looking specifically at what was one of its economically most vulnerable points, the hotel industry. The paper hypothesizes that the greatest impact would be on human resources in the service-industries and on particular sub-sectors, such as employment in hotels, located in three main cities in the PRC, in Beijing, Guangzhou and Shanghai, catering to both overseas as well as domestic tourism. It tentatively concludes that the almost dramatic demand and supply ‘shocks’ may have directly affected both the demand for and the supply of labour in the sub-sector, with discernable employment consequences.     

关于农村文化产业品牌发展的若干思考——兼谈益阳农村文化产业发展

农村文明需要文化,而文化繁荣是公共文化与文化产业的共同繁荣。文化产业的发展离不开文化产业品牌。发展农村文化产业,打造文化产业品牌具有重要意义。而目前农村文化产业的发展刚刚起步,其产业品牌的打造和使用现状不容乐观。打造农村文化产业品牌,要注意把握策略。     

由生产力发展趋势浅析中国现有经济规模

经过30年的改革开放，我国的生产力水平正在迅速提高，到21世纪第一个10年中期，我国生产力水平达到改革开放前的20倍。同时，在过去的10年中，相关的国内生产总值和市场规模在以同样令世人震惊的增长率共同进步。然而，研究中发现，第三产业生产力发展数据失真，对第三产业产值有低估问题。若假设我国第三产业占生产总值的50％，即理性提高第三产业产值的比例，我国国内生产总值将接近或超过美国。     

国家主导视野下的西藏现代工业的演进逻辑、轨迹与经验教训

西藏现代工业的演进动力有着内外因的双重作用,其中外因大于内因.从本质上来讲,西藏现代工业的演进是在国家主导下进行的,大体上可以分为四个阶段,即初步发展时期、加速发展时期、改革转轨时期以及深化发展时期.西藏现代工业半个多世纪的发展,留下了诸多经验教训,需要认真总结.     

中央政府意愿、财政能力与文化发展政策选择

十七届六中全会将文化发展上升到战略的高度.然而,从建国以来中国关于实施文化产业政策的选择历程上看,这不仅仅由中央政府独立决定.理论界曾就区域发展提出了国家意愿与财政能力共同决定区域发展政策选择的分析框架,文章在此基础上,将分析视野扩展到文化产业政策选择的层面,阐述了文化体制改革前后在中央政府意志、财政能力搭配下文化产业政策的演进和绩效.此过程同样依循文化市场发展轨迹,即由文化产品市场、文化服务市场向文化资本市场的演进.     

Wildlife Tours in Australia: Characteristics,the Place of Science and Sustainable Futures

Wildlife tourism is one of the fastest growing tourism sectors worldwide. Across the world the number of tourists seeking close interaction with wildlife in their natural environment is growing. Understanding the interface between visitors (social) and wildlife (environmental) can make a critical contribution to the sustainability of this industry. This study examined wildlife tours in Australia. Questionnaires were posted to wildlife tour operators in Tasmania, Western Australia and Northern Territory, seeking information on the characteristics of tours, and the place of science and monitoring in their business. The results illustrate several similarities between wildlife and ecotourism, suggesting the benefits of increasing education and interpretation, both central features of ecotourism, to enhancing the sustainability of wildlife tourism. For tour operators, interactive activities included feeding, swimming with and touching wildlife, and the level of interaction was identified as high, making it imperative to better define interaction and develop species or group-specific protocols for sustainably managing these interactions. Lastly, this study showed a low level of engagement of scientists in protecting the wildlife of interest to tours. Given the centrality of science to sustainability, mechanisms for increasing this involvement particularly in impact research, through partnerships and other means, are critical for the long term sustainability of this industry.     

Critical success factors for mutual collaboration with suppliers in IT outsourcing industry: a case study of a top IT outsourcing company in Korea

ABSTRACT

Nowadays, information technology (IT) outsourcing companies face enduring demands to reduce cost while increasing productivity. This pressure leads many IT outsourcing companies to rely on outsourcing arrangements with IT personnel suppliers. In order to maximise efficiency, outsourcing companies have focused on fostering high-performing suppliers through improved collaboration and mutual relations. However, it is very difficult to advance to a long-term partnership using the existing outsourcing process because of insufficient collaboration between IT outsourcing companies and their suppliers. Based on collaboration perspective of supply chain management (SCM), this study identifies the critical success factors for collaborative strategic partnerships and presents an evaluation framework for assessing and managing suppliers. We have developed an organisational process model for Supplier relationship management (SRM)-based collaboration which includes some of the key constructs from the previous studies and interviews with the IT outsourcing industry people. In this study, we will identify four types of strategic suppliers and suggest approaches for improving collaborative relationship between an IT outsourcing company and its partner companies. In addition, to validate the feasibility of the proposed model, we applied it to a well-known Korean IT outsourcing company ‘A’.     

Telecom reforms in the EU: Prices and consumers' satisfaction

The paper shows the impact of privatization and liberalization on consumers in the telecommunication sector for 15 EU countries. Policy reforms are summarized by the OECD regulatory indicators (REGREF) that consider the extent of privatization, vertical disintegration, and market entry. After controlling for other country variables, first, a test of the impact of ownership and regulatory changes on consumer prices is given. In the second step, the Eurobarometer data on consumers' satisfaction about quality and prices of the telecommunication service are considered. The analysis confirms the importance of market regulation in reducing prices but minimizes the role played by privatization per se. Overall, the findings offer only mixed evidence, and somehow contradict, the hypothesis that all the reforms work in a similar way across the EU countries.     

进一步提高中国花卉产业国际竞争力对策研究

进入21世纪以来,我国花卉产业一直呈现出快速发展的态势,生产规模已居世界首位,但也存在着横向扩展过快、纵向挖潜不足的问题。在国际竞争日益激烈的背景下,新兴花卉生产国哥伦比亚、肯尼亚、马来西亚已分别成为全球最大的康乃馨、玫瑰和菊花的生产、出口基地,印度、越南等国也在迅速崛起。中国花卉产业应该通过合理有效的制度创新,建立经营型行业协会,加强物流体系建设,引导资源禀赋优势向竞争优势转变。
