企业技术创新战略选择机制问题的研究

技术创新战略的选择对企业有着深远影响,甚至关系到企业的生存。如何建立有效的技术创新战略选择机制一直是困扰企业的难题。把企业技术创新战略选择机制的重点放在企业比较容易测度、使用的方法上来,对企业技术创新进行较为细致的风险估计、战略选择的博弈分析,并介绍了Logistic生长模型,为企业选择技术创新战略提供了便利的分析工具。     

中外合资企业管理中的文化整合分析

合资企业不仅是中国利用外国资金的基本形式,也是中国引进先进技术和设备,学习国外先进管理经验的重要渠道.但是,必须看到由于合作双方来自不同的国家和地区,其社会政治法律制度不同,文化背景不同,由此而形成的经营理念、管理决策思维、企业行为方式等也有着很大的差异,因此在合作过程中出现管理冲突是不可避免的.正确认识中外双方的文化差异,努力促进不同文化的融合,消除管理冲突,对促进合资企业的发展有着极为重要的意义.     

美国《社区再投资法案》理论争议与实践述评

美国《社区再投资法案》的颁布实施以及修正案的实施,鼓励了商业银行尤其是那些准备或正在进行并购的商业银行对低收入群体和少数民族居户抵押贷款的增长.该法案对于改善中低收入社区融资困难的状况起到了不可小视的作用.但CRA并不能有效解决市场失败和信贷歧视,其成本大于收益,且加重了市场扭曲.因此,CRA在理论界有所争议.我国正在推进信用社区建设,《社区再投资法案》对我国社会信用体系建设具有一定的借鉴作用.     

风险资本规模与最优投资组合

对于任何一个风险投资基金来说,都涉及到投资组合规模问题。由于在投资策略中奉行积极干预的策略,风险投资家耗费了大量的精力和时间。因此,风险资本规模的扩大对风险投资家的投资结构可能会产生影响。这就引致出风险投资最优投资组合的问题,并涉及对风险投资收益率的影响。     

中小企业融资困境的经济学解释

中小企业的迅速发展,使我国在整体经济不利的环境下保持了较快的增长速度。但是中小企业在取得巨大发展的同时,在信贷市场上却面临着商业银行的信贷配给,陷入融资难的困境。文章试图从信贷配给的视角解释商业银行面对中小企业的信贷配给,用二元经济模式下的双重信贷配给解释中小企业的融资困境,并且提出中小企业解决融资困境的一条可行性途径,即市场利率化,信贷信息联网以及信贷担保体系。

在联营体基础上实施建筑企业虚拟化组织模式创新

世界经济一体化和信息技术改革在给建筑业带来空前竞争压力的同时，也必将引发一场轰轰烈烈的行业革命。本结合建筑业的行业特点，借鉴虚拟企业的思想方法，提出在联营体应用实践的基础上实现建筑企业从联营到虚拟化经营的转变，完成建筑企业组织模式创新，从而改变建筑业过度竞争以及低收益的现状。这将使建筑企业既能分享世界经济一体化带来的好处，又能够化解当前的竞争压力，提高自身竞争力，有效应对知识经济带来的挑战。     

Trade-off Model of Debt Maturity Structure

In this paper, we suggest the trade-off model to explain the choice of debt maturity. This model is based on balancing between risk and reward of using shorter-term loans. Shorter-term loans have cost advantage over, but incur higher refinancing and interest rate risk than longer-term loans. Using the Compustat data, we show that the principal components of financial attributes are financial flexibility and financial strength. Therefore, only firms with greater financial flexibility and financial strength can use proportionately more short-term loans. We also document that financially strong firms take advantage of lower interest rates of short-term debt. They use proportionately more short-term loans when the term premium is high. The results of our study also provide evidence supporting the agency cost hypothesis, which is strongly supported by current literature.     

Uncertainty and Financing Constraints

Using a panel of Dutch listed firms this paper provides empirical evidence for the hypothesis that more risky firms are confronted with more severe capital market constraints than relatively less risky firms. The paper also contributes to the discussion on the usefulness of cash flow as a measure of financial constraints. We present a stochastic version of the Kaplan-Zingales (1997) model. We show that cash flow sensitivity can be used as a meaningful indicator of financing constraints if firms are classified by the degree of uncertainty they face and if the uncertainty originates from cost uncertainty.     

Is there a pecking order? Evidence from a panel of IPO firms

We test the pecking order model of capital structure by examining the financing of firms that went public in 1983. We estimate a logit to predict external financing, and a multinomial logit to predict the type of financing using data on the IPO firms' security offerings during 1984–1992. Our results indicate that the probability of obtaining external funds is unrelated to the shortfall in internally generated funds, although firms with cash surpluses avoid external financing. Firms that access the capital markets do not follow the pecking order when choosing the type of security to offer.
