非洲铁路发展需求分析与市场开发策略

中资企业面向非洲铁路市场,多以"广覆盖"的形式投入开发,一定程度上造成了资源浪费。为优化中资企业在非洲铁路市场布局以及资源配置,在分析非洲铁路发展现状、铁路网发展影响因素基础上,基于铁路系统需求度、铁路发展需求度分析非洲铁路发展需求,提出了非洲大陆49个国家高、较高、中、低4个等级的铁路发展需求度,同时提出非洲铁路市场开发策略建议,即:优化非洲铁路市场开发资源配置,分区域实施铁路市场开发及项目建设,创新合作模式、拓宽资金来源。     

美国海域油气区块租赁规划和管理及其对中国的启示

美国海域油气管理部门主要为海洋能源管理局和安全与环境执法局。海域油气租赁区块来自联邦政府所属的近海外大陆架,对外租赁的每个油气区块都必须包含在5年规划内。美国政府制定海域油气区块租赁5年规划会结合国家安全和资源情况,总统有撤回计划的权利,政府也可根据油气市场等因素予以变更。官方网站按月发布有效租约面积、矿业权人及区块是否在产等信息进行区块合同管理。美国勘探租约期限最长为10年,可申请多次延续。通过分析中美两国油气区块管理制度等社会环境,针对中国目前尚未制定专门的油气出让规划的现状,建议逐步建立中国油气区块出让规划,明确规划权威性,保障规划实施;高度重视规划编制的前期调查与研究,建立与中国资源品质配套的出让规划;加大中国油气上游行业投资环境研究,吸引潜在投资群体。     

基于双重属性的商业模式构念化与研究框架建议

商业模式是创业研究的新兴主题,既有研究文献增长迅猛,但研究结论高度零散、矛盾甚至冲突,不少学者认为缺乏概念明确性是导致商业模式研究喧嚣混沌状况的根源,但鲜有研究对此做出积极的理论探索。本文首先梳理并提炼商业模式概念的演变及其理论逻辑,发现既有研究的不足并提炼商业模式如何创造价值的架构属性,基于不同理论视角形成了不同的概念维度,特别是对于商业模式如何塑造竞争优势的价值属性研究不足。进一步地,本文构建了基于双重属性的商业模式构念化与分类模型,目的在于整合并澄清学术界对于商业模式概念的学理性认识,同时基于该模型重新审视商业模式研究框架并提出未来研究亟待关注的关键问题,以期对商业模式形成、调整及其效应机制的理论发展和实证检验起到推动作用,最后提出了国内学者开展商业模式研究的启示和建议。

Dare to be different? Investigating the relationship between analyst categorisation hierarchies and corporate social responsibility (CSR) conformity

This paper investigates how analyst categorisation hierarchies (CH) affect corporate social responsibility (CSR) conformity. We argue that firms that are labelled as either high rank or low rank by analysts have higher institutional immunity, while firms that are categorised as middle rank have lower immunity. These heterogeneous institutional immunities will affect the levels of CSR conformity differently. Our results, which originate from a sample of Chinese listed firms from 2009 to 2016, suggest that CH exhibit an inverted‐U‐shaped relationship with CSR conformity. High‐ranked and low‐ranked firms are most likely to be CSR nonconformist, while middle‐ranked firms tend to conduct CSR like the majority of their industry peers. Moreover, we also investigate the environmental boundary conditions of this curvilinear relationship. This relationship is moderated by environmental munificence (positively) and dynamism (negatively). Our findings fill the theoretical gap by proposing an institutional‐based explanation for the CSR conformity heterogeneity which is rarely discussed and extending the boundary conditions for the categorisation‐CSR conformity relationship.     

When the principal knows better than the agent: Subjective evaluations as an optimal disclosure mechanism

When the firm has some private and unverifiable information about an employee’s ability, it can design a subjective evaluation mechanism, whereby payments are tied to evaluations, to communicate such information. In this paper, I investigate how to design an optimal disclosure mechanism for the firm. I characterize the firm’s optimal disclosure policy as a function of the worker’s ability distribution, with the hazard rate function playing a key role. I also demonstrate that with some reasonable restrictions on the ability distribution, the firm’s optimal strategy exhibits a particular pattern: it will reward the best workers aggressively, fire the worst ones, and assign one central rating to the rest. The predictions are consistent with the way firms utilize subjective evaluations in reality.

社会主义市场经济理论的思想基础简析

社会主义市场经济理论的思想基础可分为三个层次：社会主义建立之初发展社会主义商品经济的思想基础;由计划经济向社会主义市场经济体制转变的思想基础;社会主义市场经济理论最终形成的思想基础。我们应认识这些思想基础,从制度上更好地发挥市场在资源配置中的基础性作用,形成有利于科学发展的宏观调控体系。
