Business Development Capabilities in Information Technology SMEs in a Regional Economy: An Exploratory Study

“Business development” is a corporate entrepreneurial capability (or competence) that has emerged in the Information Technology industry to support that industry’s practice of co-creation of value with customers and complementors. As a set of practices that link the firm’s value creating processes with its external environment, business development capabilities are a key factor in the success of IT SMEs. This article examines business development functions and business developer attributes in SMEs in the Information Technology Industry in Eastern Canada. The principal business development functions are finding profitable opportunities in business networks, developing and maintaining partnerships, providing support for new product development, and recognizing and responding to customer needs. The regional market and export markets require different business development capabilities.     

MEDIATING JUDICIAL POLICY

Despite the widespread use of mediation to resolve public policy disputes, there is little written on the mediation of judicial rule disputes. A successful mediation of a dispute over proposed court rules to govern mediation of certain family law cases involving domestic violence concerns is reviewed. The authors conclude that the mediation provided (a) a confidential venue for disputing judges to respectfully disagree with one another, (b) an opportunity for collaborative problem solving, (c) an opportunity to reduce conflict among judicial colleagues. (d) a format for dialogue with other stakeholders, and (e) greater degree of influence with regard to the outcome of the dispute. Specific recommendations to encourage the effective use of judicial policy mediation are offered.     

Beyond Instrumentalism: A Relational Approach to Negotiation

Instrumentalism, the philosophy that rational people will behave in ways that promote self‐interest, is often the default assumption that scholars and practitioners rely upon when interpreting and predicting human behavior in negotiations. Instrumentalism, however, need not be the only lens through which negotiators and negotiations are viewed. In this article, we discuss some of the problems associated with too heavy a reliance on instrumentalism and propose an alternative relational approach, one in which negotiators see themselves as agents embedded in a system of relationships, who are motivated to understand and advance the welfare of others. We discuss some of the characteristics that differentiate negotiators who adopt a relational versus instrumental approach and invite scholars and practitioners to consider the implications of viewing negotiations through a more relational lens.     

Beyond the Thomas–Kilmann Model: Into Extreme Conflict

This article discusses an extension to the Thomas–Kilmann conflict mode instrument (Thomas and Kilmann 1977) designed specifically for conflict situations in which strong negative emotional relationships are at play. The Thomas–Kilmann (TK) model is widely used to help participants (disputants and mediators) identify how two basic conflict characteristics interact to influence how stakeholders shape their actions with regard to their interests. Essentially the TK Model is built on the premise that the two salient conflict variables are the relative importance of the relationships at hand and the substantive issues being discussed. These variables are illustrated with a simple matrix that shows how each party will interact with the other based on the relative importance it places on these variables. Graphically illustrating where the behaviors fall on the matrix can explicate parties' behaviors to add a new perspective that may change the dynamic of the conflict. But the TK Model does not address scenarios in which individuals have very negative or destructive relationships, and sabotage, blocking, and exclusion are behavioral norms. Hence, we developed the Baumoel–Trippe (BT) Extension to the TK Model to address the highly negative and often identity‐based conflicts that are often found in the world of family business. Accordingly, the BT Extension to the TK Model explores conflicts in which the relationships are not merely unimportant or uncooperative, but where they become negative to downright vengeful. There is so much at stake for family business stakeholders that the family relationships may become so adversarial that the very business and family harmony all parties value are at risk. With our extension of the TK Model, we seek to provide insight into how decisions might be made when stakeholders are in highly negative, conflictual relationships.

村委会主体资格辨析

《村民委员会组织法》内容与立法定位不相符,模糊了村民会议与村委会之间的关系界定。这一立法现状,使得相关司法实践缺乏明确的法律指引,尤其是难以判断村委会作为独立主体的可诉性。村委会是否单一独立主体,是否具有诉讼中的主体资格,成为司法界决定是否受理以村委会为原告或被告的诉讼时所面临的最大问题。因此,推进村民自治的过程中,在实践中作有益探索和经验积累的同时,完善《村民委员会组织法》是很有必要的。     

论劳动关系中的保密义务和竞业禁止

用人单位与劳动者约定竞业禁止可以减少用人单位商业秘密被侵犯的机会,但劳动者的保密义务不以当事人之间的明示约定为前提。用人单位与劳动者之间的竞业禁止协议必须建立在真正的契约自由的基础之上,以用人单位存在可保护的商业秘密为前提,并不得侵犯劳动者的基本人权。     

公司治理结构与财务管理目标

公司治理结构不同,财务管理目标也会有较大的差异。我国在借鉴国际经验的同时应结合本国国情,充分考虑转轨过程中的特定情况,建立适合我国经济发展现状和资本市场特点的公司治理模式,建立“以业务关联的企业法人交叉持股为核心,鼓励物质资本和人力资本的投资者共同持股,国家、其他企业法人、社会公众等参与持股,银行相机控制和机构投资者外部监督”的治理结构,与此相适应的财务管理目标应为相关利益最大化或公司价值最大化。
