Sustainable development of Shandong Peninsula urban agglomeration： a scenario analysis based on water shortage and water environment changes

China has experienced a rapid urbanization since late 1970s. The great increase of urban population has resulted in various environmental changes, of which urban water shortage and water environment problems have occurred in most cities, especially in the rapidly developing urban agglomerations in the eastern coastal region. This research, taking Shandong Peninsula Urban Agglomeration （SPUA） as a case study area analyzes the urbanization expansion in the last decades, discusses the water shortage and water environment changes following the rapid economic development and urbanization sueh as groundwater sinking in the urban and plain area, sea water and saltwater intrusion in the coastal cities, water pollution overspreading and water ecosystem degradation, and puts forwards some strategies for sustainabilitv in populous regions with severe water shortage. Some countermeasures for sustainable development of SPUA are put forward, such as constructing modern water resources inter-city networks to regulate water resouree between cities, adjnsting urbanization policy and urban scale planning to promote the development of small towns and medium sized cities, optimizing urban industry structure by restricting high water consumption enterprises and stimulating the growth of tertiary industry. improving water use efficiency to rednce fresh water consumption and wastewater discharge, introducing economic means to water pricing and water management system, and restoring ecological conditions to strengthen the natural water-making capacity.     

Negative externalities on property values resulting from water impairment: The case of the Pigeon River Watershed

The objective of this research was to determine whether willingness to bear the negative externality from water quality impairment differs between those who do and those who do not receive economic benefit from the impairment source. Differences were tested using a hedonic analysis of ambient water quality in two discrete housing markets in the Pigeon River Watershed, which have been polluted by the operation of a paper mill. The results suggest that North Carolina residents residing in subwatersheds with impaired portions of the Pigeon River, who experience economic benefit from the paper mill in addition to its harmful effects on water quality, do perceive the pollution as a negative externality. In contrast, the effects of both the degraded river and its contributing streams on property values are perceived as negative externalities by watershed residents in Tennessee who experience only harmful effects from the pollution. Differences in willingness to bear the water-impairment externality were not indicated by variables representing view of and proximity to impaired water bodies. The results suggest that the perception of water quality to which property owners implicitly apply value should be considered when establishing water-quality regulations.

职业教育要以职业活动为导向,才能使教学内容尽可能贴近真实工作,培养符合企业需要的高素质技能人才,而情境作为教学的重要载体,直接影响教学效果和教学目标的实现。在构建项目化课程情境时,情境的选取与设计应根据工作的职业特性,体现典型性、全面性,还要结合教育规律,以学生为主体,具备趣味性特征,同时要根据行业企业的变化,及时更新和完善。     

Financial Deregulation and the Role of Statecraft: Lessons from Britain’s 1971 Competition and Credit Control Measures

Within the financialisation literature, a number of approaches identify the coexistence of financial expansion and productive stagnation. Yet there is no consensus on which direction causality operates between these two phenomena. This impasse has been widened by the lack of attention paid to the role of statecraft strategies in mediating possible causal mechanisms. This article contributes to rectifying this shortcoming by focusing on the governance advantages granted to states through financial deregulation. By presenting archival evidence on Britain’s 1971 Competition and Credit Control deregulation, this article lends support to financialisation accounts that argue that weaknesses in the productive economy spurred financial expansion, yet it also indicates that the state’s desire for depoliticised forms of governance played a crucial role in mediating this relationship. This further suggests that International Political Economy should focus on the strategic manner in which states relate to markets.     

内部控制是利益的平衡机制——法的价值与人本思想的衔接

内部控制是企业或其他主体为规范其内部各环节各利益主体的行为,为协调其活动的有序有效运行而建立的内部机制。法是国家为规范社会构成要素特别是行为者的行为,协调相互关系,保障各利益主体的特定利益机制。如果把企业看成一个国家,或反过来把国家抽象为一个企业,我们发现内部控制方法与法有着惊人的相似之处——利益平衡。     

从“萨-奥法案”视角论我国企业内控系统的构建

美国颁布实施的《萨班斯-奥克斯利法案》（简称“萨－奥法案”）是针对上市公司建立并保持内部控制所作出的规定。内控制度是现代企业稳健发展不可或缺的“稳定器”,是一个系统化的框架,它建立在风险管理的基础上。包括内控环境、风险分析、内控活动、信息与沟通、监督五大要素,五要素之间的配合和联系组成了一个完整的系统。目前,我国大多数企业尚未建立一整套内控管理体系,即使建立的企业也未实现系统化、可视化与信息化管理,尚未建立与国际接轨、适应国际资本市场要求的内部管理体系。鉴于此,基于“萨－奥法案”要求而提出的内部控制建设值

A multi-level investigation of international marketing projects: The roles of experiential knowledge and creativity on performance

This study, using a sample of Korean multinational corporations, focuses on testing the relationships between the constructs of experiential knowledge, creativity, and performance in the context of international marketing projects. Relying on a multi-level conceptualization of experiential knowledge and creativity, our findings suggest that process-based creativity is enhanced when the team members have a higher level of experiential knowledge, but outcome-based creativity is not significantly influenced by either team- or firm-level experiential knowledge. It is concluded that, in the context of international marketing projects, the domain-relevant knowledge of the actors (i.e., the team-level experiential knowledge in the foreign markets) largely governs the level of their process-based creativity. The findings also suggest that project performance is directly influenced by firm-level experiential knowledge and process-based creativity, and is indirectly influenced by team-level experiential knowledge through the mediation of process-based creativity.
