“十五”期间我国东中西部地区建筑业产业竞争力比较分析

本文对我国东、中、西部地区建筑业在“十五”期间的竞争力进行了综合比较分析,分析指标包括总体运营状况、产业结构特征、生产力水平、盈利能力和产业贡献率等方面,结果表明东部地区建筑业在产业规模方面占有绝对优势,但在个别竞争能力方面,中西部地区反而超过东部地区。因此,东部地区建筑业在规模扩张的同时,要注重产业内部质量的提升,带动全国建筑业产业水平持续稳定提升,而中、西部地区急需对建筑业进行产业结构调整。     

Drivers for adopting environmental management systems in the post-Soviet mining industry

The past decade has witnessed an active dismantling of public environmental policy in Russia. At the same time, Russian companies involved in natural resources extraction have adopted standardized environmental management systems. In this way, much of the responsibility of environmental policy in Russia has been transferred to private industries and their environmental management systems. These systems do not, as such, guarantee increased environmental responsibility. This article addresses the privatization of the Russian environmental policy in light of the legitimacy and uncertainty involved in standardized environmental management systems. A case study of the mining industry in the Kola Peninsula, Russia, is used in two ways. First, environmental policy conflicts between public bodies and mining companies in Russia are illustrated with two examples. Second, key drivers for adopting environmental management systems in the Kola Peninsula mining companies are extracted from thematic interviews. These drivers are analyzed for their impact on unit and corporate level decision-making. In addition, the drivers are categorized according to the type of legitimacy and stakeholder salience. It is shown that unit and corporate level applications of environmental management have different societal and environmental implications. On the basis of the case study it is suggested that due to their support of cognitive and moral legitimacy, and a broader view on salient stakeholders, environmental management systems defined on the unit level allow a better alignment of corporate goals with societal goals of sustainability.

Technology transfer by foreign firms and the utilization of competencies within Indian industry

This article evaluates whether the changing presence of foreign firms in India has had an impact on the performance of India’s industrial sector by impacting on the utilization of intangible capabilities within firms. Foreign firms bring in technological skills and capabilities and these are transferred by a spillover process to all of Indian industry. The results show a strong relationship between the growing presence of foreign firms in India and measures capturing the utilization of varieties of competencies in Indian industry. Thus, the notion that foreign firms’ capabilities can spillover to other sectors of industry finds support in the data.

国家安全审查与反垄断法的区别与协调——以产业安全保障为视角

反垄断法的价值取向与产业安全保障存在差异.我国的国家安全审查应具有产业安全保障的功能.基于此种功能定位,国家安全审查的审查对象,除了包括一定规模以上的经营者集中以外,还应当包括"获取涉及我国国家安全的技术控制权"和"获取我国驰名商标和中华老字号控制权"的外商直接投资.国家安全审查的审查标准可以归结为.外资产业控制力是否显著增强".     

论东北老工业基地振兴中的企业文化创新

东北老工业企业的发展离不开企业文化的参与和创新。振兴东北老工业基地不仅是经济问题,更是企业文化的问题。从历史文化观的角度审视,东北有许多优秀的企业文化传统。然而,又由于这种文化存在种种缺陷,造成东北地区经济上的落后。因此,振兴东北老工业基地,建设新型工业社会与社会主义市场经济,就必须以企业文化的创新为先导,以企业观念的更新为动力,转变东北老工业企业文化的观念,大力倡导与市场经济相适应的新思维、新理念,这也是振兴东北经济的关键所在。

Labor History—Past,Present, and Future

ABSTRACT

While much recent literature has focused on the environmental cost of carbon fuels, these sources of energy generated large human costs in the work environment as well. Work in coal mines was famously dangerous. And while petroleum, gas extraction and refining were also risky, this paper demonstrates that they were far less dangerous than was coal, while energy productivity per worker was also higher in oil than coal. Relying in part on previously unexploited data, the paper also shows that on the eve of World War II, the human costs of energy – measured by fatalities per btu of output – were sharply less in oil and gas production than in coal mining. Thus the great twentieth century energy transition from coal to liquid and gaseous fuels reduced both the environmental and the workplace costs per unit of energy.     

From Lab Experiments to Real Negotiations: An Investigation of International Iron Ore Negotiations

Negotiation researchers have conducted a large number of experimental lab studies to identify the factors that affect negotiation outcomes, but it remains unclear whether those results can be generalized to real‐world negotiations. To explore this question, we analyzed the dynamic international iron ore annual negotiations that took place from 2005 to 2009. We found evidence that supports two important findings from previous experiments. Specifically, we focused on the impact of negotiators’ best alternatives and first offers on negotiation prices using multiple case study analysis. We found that iron ore prices increased more when the gap between the previous year's negotiated price and the price on the alternative spot market, a public market in which commodities are traded for immediate delivery, was larger, which suggested that buyers were sensitive to the strength of this alternative, supporting the literature on the role of alternatives. We also found that the first offer price significantly influenced the final price. Our findings extend two important experimental findings from the negotiation literature to large‐scale business negotiations in the real world.
