基于用户体验的农村旅游厕所管理研究——以广东省为例

农村旅游厕所是我国厕所革命的短板,存在重建设轻管理等问题,下一阶段厕所工作重点在于如何"管好"、"用好"上。基于用户体验逻辑的实证研究有助于为农村旅游厕所提升公共服务质量和运营管理水平提供参考借鉴。本文运用权重综合评价方法,构建了用户体验评价指标体系,选取广东省农村旅游厕所206座进行实地评测,结合大众用户对农村旅游厕所的体验偏好调查,利用IPA方法分析农村旅游厕所用户体验评价指标的重要程度和实际表现感知,提出丰富用户体验、加强卫生保洁、创新经营模式等政策建议。

Annual Meeting of the Catholic Economic Association

This paper attempts to demonstrate that Keynes's practical writings on the crisis in the Lancashire cotton spinning industry in the 1920s were consistent with the 1930s theoretical conceptualisation of user costs in the General Theory. It is suggested that the key (common) link between these analyses is Keynes's concern with how uncertainty is distributed, in specific historical circumstances, between institutions at the levels of the firm, industry, the industry-financial institution interface, and the local and global economies. It is this concern which still has important, if not more, research and policy relevance today.     

Idea Competitions under scrutiny: Acquisition,intelligence or public relations mechanism?

Idea Competitions (ICs) are becoming a popular mechanism chosen by firms to perform Open Innovation. They are a way to engage with external sources of knowledge such as individual entrepreneurs and small firms who are asked to submit ideas and compete for a prize. However, little is known about the success of ICs as acquisition mechanisms. The researchers conducted interviews in five multinational companies to evaluate the effects of using ICs as an acquisition mechanism. Although still preliminary, the results of this study show that the success of ICs as an acquisition mechanism remains uncertain because their output (i.e. the number of ideas acquired) is often low compared to the input (i.e. the number of ideas submitted) and effort required to run them (e.g. to vet ideas). Across the cases observed, ICs appear to be more successful at identifying and acquiring early-stage ideas, particularly those outside the current business focus. The study shows that ICs deliver other functional benefits such as improved intelligence and public relations and that these need to be considered as part of the evaluation of the IC's success. The paper concludes by discussing the conditions in which ICs are implemented and the implications for Open Innovation theory.
