This paper has as objective to present the management model adopted by the management quality system - MQS in the control centers of the Brazilian ISO - ONS. The Model includes eight basic principles: Focus in the client; leadership; employer's involvement; process approach; systemic approach; continuous improvement; factual approach for taking decisions and mutual benefits in the relationship with suppliers.

High-performance teams are required for leading-type organizations because of the complexity and speed that work must be completed. This paper extends the fundamental groundwork-research of creating and achieving high-performance teams and individuals by introducing and investigating a new variable, duration, on the absolute values of high-performance achieved. Experimental results identify that Pmax decreases with duration for both teams and individuals and that teams are indeed more effective than individuals in performing tasks.

China government has implemented some schemes of public funds in order to increase R&D intensity of private firms. This study analyzes the effects of public R&D schemes on the innovation activities of private firms in Zhejiang Province of China. The main question in this paper is whether government subsidies to Private R&D stimulate R&D activities or simply crowd out privately financed R&D. Empirically, we investigate the average causal effects of all government subsidies in Zhejiang Province of China using Propensity Score Matching. In order to account for possible selectivity bias, and to improve comparability of firms, two different versions of matching approach are employed. The Nearest neighbor estimator is preferred to the Kernel estimator. The results show that government R&D subsidies do not have a significant effect on R&D expenditures of private firms.

The premise of this research is the development of a model that will assist management in the selection of team members to projects based on the ability to fit individual cognitive style as closely as possible to the project goal(s). The paper presents background information on cognitive styles and fuzzy logic with an algorithm developed based on belief in the fuzzy probability of a cognitive style fitting a defined goal. An application is presented and conclusions are stated.

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is not only a software system, but also an advanced management idea. The goals of enterprises' implementing an ERP system are to make full use of enterprise's resource. Some enterprises benefit much from implementing ERP system. But some enterprises fail and even go bankrupt. Why are their results so different? This paper tries to explain it from organizational learning perspective. We argued that organizational learning competency is a determinant factor of implementing ERP system successfully. There are 4 stages in the life cycle of ERP, including introducing stage, implementing stage, crisis stage, and decline stage. We argue that there is a leading organizational learning mode in each stage of ERP's life cycle. With formal intra-organizational training and learning from others, an organization can accumulate knowledge and overcome knowledge barriers, which will help to implement ERP system successfully.

Product platform and technology platform are the instrumental tools for high-tech enterprises to develop and produce new products in the development of modern industry. And patent, as one of core technology resources, is of utmost importance to the development of high-tech enterprises. If the enterprise can integrate patent strategy and platform strategy, they can gain competitive advantages of technological leap, technological innovation and technology transferring on space. This will enhance the core competence of high-tech enterprises.

Using data collected from 547 state-owned and 95 private companies listed on China's stock market, this study compares the two groups on the relationship of top management salary, its increase and the stock ratio they hold, on one side, and firm performance, on the other side. Results of univariate and regression analysis indicate that there is no significant difference between state-owned and private companies on top management salary and the stock ratio they hold. The increase of top management salary is not related to firm performance. The stock ratio top management hold is not related to the intensity of competition in the industry, and it has no impact on firm performance. Implications and future research directions are also discussed.

Empirical study on the evolutionary process of dominant capabilities of non-state-owned enterprises (NSOEs) is made out in this paper. It is examined that the dominant capabilities underlying the competence vary in the stages of enterprise growth. The results of study indicate that entrepreneur's innovation capability is one dominant capability in the growth phase, marketing capability and human resource management capability are dominant capabilities in mature phase, while guarantee capability for system and funds are the dominant ones in decline phase. Learning capability runs through the whole evolutionary process, and it is the foundation of the other capabilities.It's suggested that NSOEs should adjust their structure of capabilities through uninterrupted learning according to practical condition of enterprises in practice. And the NSOEs should actively cultivate their dominant capabilities in different stages so as to form competence. It is important for NSOEs to gain competitive advantages and realize sustainable development.

We use the methods and indexes according to the paper published in 2003 written by Baker, Stein and Wurgler, which does empirical work for the American capital market. By studying the data from financial statements of 66 listed real estate companies, we can obtain: strong equity-dependent companies have a sensitivity of investment to stock price that is 3.33 times as large as weak equity-dependent companies; The company investment behaviors and stock price is positively correlated, moreover, the correlation is more pronounced than that of American market. The irrational capital market in China has an impact on company investment, especially on the equity-dependent companies. Furthermore, influence is more remarkable than that of American market. This paper also studies the relationship between cash flow and company investment behavior. As a result, the sensitivity of investment to cash flow almost keeps the same for the companies of different equity-dependence.

Innovation is becoming an important power for the development of the manufacturing companies. Researchers usually focus on the three factors of competitive priorities: quality (Q), cost (C), and time (T), which comprise the main competence of manufacturing strategy. However, in this paper, we suppose that innovation can be a parallel factor with quality (Q), cost (C) and time (T), we develop a TCQ&I model, which depicts how these four dimensions of competitive priorities affect the manufacturing performance. Based on the literature of manufacturing strategy competitive priorities, we propose that the competitive capacity model consists of time, cost, and quality, including innovation, is superior to the model without the innovation factor. This paper uses the information from the database of the International Manufacturing Strategy Survey (IMSS). Using data from the IMSS, this study uses the empirical methods of exploring and analyzing the relationship model of the four dimensions of manufacturing competence, i.e. quality (Q), cost (C), time (T) and innovation (I), and how they affect the manufacturing performance, focusing on the structural equation model analysis. The research methods of descriptive statistics, model fitting analysis, and multiple regression analysis are used. The statistical analysis tool applied is the LISREL software. The results prove the validity of the hypothesis. This study concludes that the competitive model, which includes innovation, is superior to the model without innovation in both developing countries and developed countries. The effect of innovation to the manufacturing performance is further validated.
