Cognitive,affective, conative,and action loyalty: Testing the impact of inertia

Research increasingly emphasizes the significance of customer loyalty to a firm's success. In order to provide a clearer understanding of hotel customers’ loyalty-formation process, this study proposed and tested an extended Oliver's (1997) four-stage loyalty model by employing a multi-dimensional approach for each attitudinal loyalty stage while considering the moderating impact of inertia. The original model was slightly altered to improve its fit and predictive ability. Results from the structural model generally supported proposed paths among the variables in the model (cognitive, affective, and conative loyalty components and action loyalty) and verified the mediating roles of study variables in forming action loyalty. Further, findings from structural group comparisons using invariance tests indicated that the links from satisfaction to commitment and intention and from intention to action loyalty were stronger for the low inertia group, supporting the moderating role of inertia. Implications are discussed, and limitations of this study are briefly outlined.     

财政支出拉动经济增长的惯性分析

经济量通常存在着一定的惯性，与物体的惯性不同，这是由外部变量的累计影响作用产生的由于财政支出对国民经济的增长有着积极的作用，而财政支出又有着比较强的滞后性，本文在财政支出拉动GDP增长的理论下针对财政支出的扩张拉动GDP增长的惯性进行分析。     

Inertial inflation, indexation and price stickiness: evidence from Brazil

This paper evaluates the inertial inflation hypothesis for Brazil. The hypothesis posits that indexation created a feedback mechanism such that one-time supply shocks were fully transmitted into permanent changes in inflation. A theoretical model is used to show that this outcome is based on the assumption of perfect price flexibility. However, with price stickiness indexation does not produce inertial inflation. The degree of inertia is then compared for two periods: one without indexation (1945–1963), and one with indexation (1969–1985). Finally, vector-autoregressive representations are estimated for the latter period, allowing for price stickiness. The empirical results do not support the hypothesis.     

知识势差、知识隐匿与知识进化：组织惰性的调节作用

知识经济时代,企业能否发现并利用知识演进规律对提升自身知识质量和知识创造能力尤为重要。引入知识隐匿和组织惰性,构建知识势差对知识进化影响路径的概念模型。结合高新技术企业调研数据进行实证分析,并试图诠释企业知识进化实现过程的逻辑原理。实证结果表明,知识势差对知识适应进化和变异进化具有正向影响,对知识遗传进化具有负向影响。知识隐匿在知识势差与知识进化之间起着部分负向中介作用,组织惰性对知识势差及知识进化间关系具有调节作用。     

中国式"荷兰病"影响中国财政收支格局的实证分析

中国式荷兰病来源于中国入世后外向型劳动力密集型产业的空前繁荣。本文从实证角度分析了中国式荷兰病通过体制惰性效应对中国财政收支体制与财政收支政策的诸多影响。研究发现,在中国整体财政能力增强和财政收支状况改善的同时,不仅我国外债结构、中央与地方财政关系明显恶化,而且社会财富加速向公共部门集中,国富民穷现象突出,经济增长方式转变受到较大制约。文章最后建议及时对个人、企业进行实质性减税,积极扩大政府公共服务范围及领域,增加环境保护、社会保障、医疗卫生、教育、科学技术以及农业的财政支出比重,进一步规范中央与地方政府的财政税收权利与义务,从而确保中国经济健康、稳定与可持续发展。     

Convergences with Schumpeter: An essay Hirschman has yet to write

The paper explores the contributions of Joseph Schumpeter and Albert Hirschman to our understanding of the dynamics of modern democratic capitalist economies and suggests that much of their respective work displays intellectual overlap and complementarity. It is primarily focused upon the role of economic and political processes as forces of change and adjustment and the necessary degree of built-in inertia required to permit orderly rather than chaotic responses.     

如何避免组织惰性？知性视角的解释框架

在经济转型期，组织惰性存在于大量企业之中并阻碍组织变革和产品创新。为探究组织惰性降低策略，试图从组织知识和组织性格整合视角，提出解释框架。为此，以知识资本和组织性格为前因，以知识能力为中介，构建诠释组织惰性降低路径的结构方程模型，并通过源自286份调查问卷的样本数据进行实证分析。结果表明，知识资本和组织性格对组织惰性具有显著负向影响。其中，知识资本和组织思维通过知识能力的中介作用对组织惰性施加影响，而组织本能和组织情感则直接作用于组织惰性。知识资本和组织思维通过知识能力中介对资源惰性的负效应远大于其对程序惰性的负效应；相反，组织本能和组织情感对程序惰性的负效应远大于其对资源惰性的负效应。最后，提出知性管理框架下企业避免组织惰性的启示和建议。     

The end of the 'iron rice-bowl': whither Chinese human resource management?

This study examines the degree to which enterprise reforms in the PRC have affected human resource management practices over the 1990s. A comparison is made between state-owned enterprises and joint venture firms, involving a national sample of sixty-two companies ranging from those in the North to those in the South. Our main findings show how organizational inertia has obstructed the change of the mind-sets associated with the 'iron rice-bowl' that characterized Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOEs) before economic reform. The main conclusions of the research point to ownership, location and size of the firm as the main factors affecting the evolution of HRM in Chinese enterprises.     

中国通胀惯性特征与货币政策启示

通胀惯性与货币政策效果紧密相关。本文应用具有统计无偏性的"Grid Bootstrap"估计法和未知断点结构突变检验法,研究了1980—2007年中国通货膨胀的惯性特征。本文发现,在低通胀环境下通货膨胀仍然呈现相当高的惯性特征,这暗示着我国货币政策的滞后效应依然非常明显,通货膨胀对政策变化的反应速度缓慢。计量结果说明,中央银行至少应该在出现通胀压力前一年采取措施,来应对高通胀惯性环境下的政策滞后效应。因此,新时期货币当局不仅需要保持对通胀抬头趋势的适度警觉,而且应该关注高通胀惯性对政策效果的影响。     

中小制造企业资源累积对其战略转型的影响机制研究

战略转型是中小制造企业战胜危机,获取持续竞争优势的重要途径之一。考虑到企业资源对企业战略转型的重大影响,本研究基于资源累积的视角,提出资源惯性的概念,并构建出资源惯性与转型路径依赖、资源惯性与转型路径选择之间的关系模型框架,以探究企业资源累积对战略转型的影响机制。研究结果表明,企业内部沉淀性资源累积通过资源惯性对战略转型产生消极影响。
