THE EFFECT OF INVESTMENT IN INTERORGANIZATIONAL INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY IN A RETAIL SUPPLY CHAIN

The primary purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of investment in information technology in a supply chain. The results of that investigation are presented by focusing on an empirically tested supply chain relationship model containing both behavioral and operational constructs. The four behavioral constructs represented in the model are relationship trust, relationship commitment, relationship dependence, and long‐term relationship orientation. The four operational constructs represented in the model are retailer investment in interorganizational information technology, perceived supplier investment in interorganizational information technology, logistics efficiency, and logistics effectiveness. Among other findings, the results of the investigation found that perceived supplier investment in interorganizational information technology has a significant and positive effect on logistics efficiency.     

AN EVALUATION OF PROCESS‐ORIENTED SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORKS

Supply chain management (SCM) is implemented by integrating corporate functions using business processes within and across companies. Several process‐oriented frameworks for SCM have been proposed but only two of these provide sufficient detail to enable implementation. We evaluate the Supply‐Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) framework and The Global Supply Chain Forum (GSCF) framework using four criteria and identify their relative strengths and weaknesses.     

从一个简单博弈探讨中小企业信用体系建设

市场经济是信用经济,诚信是市场经济机制的第一法则。信用缺失已成为我国中小企业面临的一个严重问题,其结果不仅使社会交易成本不断提高,而且在很大程度上抑制了中小企业的健康发展。采用博弈论的分析方法,在信用博弈模型分析的基础上,对中小企业信用缺失的成因进行分析,并提出中小企业信用体系建设的思路。     

金融危机背景下我国中小企业融资困境的博弈分析

中小企业融资难是一个世界性的问题。在当前金融危机背景下,破解这一困局对我国更具现实紧迫意义。要从严惩中小企业失信行为与缓解商业银行对中小企业的信息不对称等方面来着力治理中小企业失信与银行\"惜贷\"问题。     

中小物流企业融资模式的创新研究——基于物流金融

近年来,物流金融作为一个金融创新业务在我国发展迅速,已成为物流企业和金融机构拓展发展空间、增强竞争力的一个重要领域,也为中小企业提供了新的融资渠道.中小物流企业在日常运营流动资金、应收账款账期、设施设备的资金投入等方面都面临着相应的资金压力.但由于中小物流企业经济效益较低、装备落后、规模小、可供抵押资产少、信用较低等问题,中小物流企业面临的融资渠道十分狭窄,为了解决中小物流企业的融资困境,需要在物流金融条件下对中小物流企业融资模式进行创新.联保融资、池融资和供应链金融三种创新性的中小物流企业融资模式不失为十分理想的选择,也为中小物流企业解决融资难问题提供了理论依据.     

产学研融合程度对科技型中小企业创新绩效的影响

构建产学研深度融合的技术创新体系,是我国为应对当前复杂多变的国际环境、满足新时代高质量发展要求的重要战略。基于产学研融合内涵,构建微观层面企业产学研融合程度综合评价模型,实证检验产学研融合程度对科技型中小企业创新绩效的影响以及环境不确定性的调节作用。结果表明,我国科技型中小企业产学研融合广度、深度和频度总体均呈波动上升趋势,正逐步迈向深度融合阶段;产学研融合广度和深度对科技型中小企业创新绩效具有正向影响,产学研融合频度对科技型中小企业创新绩效具有负向影响;环境不确定性会增强产学研融合广度对科技型中小企业创新绩效的正向影响,削弱产学研融合深度对科技型中小企业创新绩效的正向影响,增强产学研融合频度对科技型中小企业创新绩效的负向影响。结论可拓展产学研合作相关研究,发展产学研融合理论,为解决我国科技型中小企业产学研融合效率偏低、机制不佳等问题提供实践指导。     

科技型中小企业新三板融资效率测度研究

当前,科技型中小企业已成为我国技术创新的主要载体和经济增长的重要推动力量,但无法从传统融资渠道得到较好的金融支持。2013年末全国中小企业转让系统（NEEQ）正式挂牌营业,为科技型中小企业提供了新的融资渠道。以NEEQ中挂牌的科技型中小企业为研究对象,运用DEA-Malmquist指数方法,选取合理的决策单元和投入产出变量,从静态和动态两个角度对科技型中小企业在新三板市场的融资效率进行测度,进而探索提出提升科技型中小企业新三板市场融资效率的对策和建议,为科技型中小企业选取融资渠道提供有效依据。     

An empirical analysis of supply chain risk management in the German automotive industry

The purpose of this paper is the empirical analysis of supply chain risk management practices. The analysis is based on a survey with 67 manufacturing plants conducted in the German automotive industry. After investigating the vulnerability of supply chains in general and examining key drivers of supply chain risks, the paper identifies supply chain risks by analyzing their likelihood to occur and their potential impact on the supply chain. The results are visualized in the probability-impact-matrix distinguishing between internal and external supply chain risks. Furthermore, instruments for dealing with supply chain risks are investigated. Therefore, the impact of supply chain risk management on performance is tested. In order to distinguish between companies with a high degree of supply chain risk management and those with no or only limited implementation the plants are grouped by means of a cluster analysis based on factors reflecting the instruments of supply chain risk management. In particular, groups are created representing two different approaches to deal with supply chain risks, i.e. reactive and preventive supply chain risk management. The clusters are investigated concerning differences in terms of performance criteria. The analyses reveal that companies with a high implementation degree show a better supply chain performance. Furthermore, the results show that the group using reactive supply chain risk management has higher average value in terms of disruptions resilience or the reduction of the bullwhip effect, whereas the group pursuing preventive supply chain risk management has better values concerning flexibility or safety stocks.
