Based on the data from 5 industrial clusters in Zhejiang province, this paper found some profound change with clustered firms' collaborative relationships under global context, such as the intensification of local production collaboration, the improvement of local collaborative modes, the prolongation of local collaborative relationships, and the diversification of global collaborative relationships. Low cost and flexibility are the two main reasons for clustered firms to organize local collaborative relationships, and market exploitation and technology learning are the important reasons for global collaboration. These changes demand clustered firms to attach importance to local network and global network, and take the advantage of their resource through dynamic cooperation.

Bahia State is one of the least electrified in Brazil. The great challenge is to provide electricity to 380.000 rural customers not yet served, with a minimum environmental impact. This paper will show how the company achieved this goal through the implementation of Cleaner Production. After identifying all the environmental impacts due to the project and construction of electric distribution circuits and all the legal requirements of the federal, state and local environmental legislation, the appropriate solutions were implemented: 1) environmental training of employees and contractors directly or indirectly related to the program, as well as to some special communities such as indigenous, African descendants, island inhabitants; 2) choice of the best path, avoiding native vegetation, rivers and special areas under protection; 3) reduction of the right-of-way width from 15 m to 4 m whenever possible, together with the use of selective cut of trees alongside the circuit path; 4) use of insulated cables in secondary circuits (220 V), among others. After three years of implementation the program have important results to show: less than 10% of the new projects (over 1.000 new projects in the 2002-2005 period) need an environmental license. The remaining 90% are constructed without cutting native vegetation generating minimum environmental impact.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Most information technology (IT) clusters are characterized by a heterogeneous mix of IT industries employing different technologies and producing a wide range of hardware, software and services. We study how collocation of one IT industry influences innovation and growth in another IT industry. We examine whether scale and scope effects can explain how collocation, the act of placing potential complementary assets together in geographic space, influences innovation and growth even though use of IT has been expected to lead to greater geographic dispersion of industry. Economies of scale effects (or MAR externalities) suggest collocation of many companies with similar activities. Economies of scope effects (Jacobs externalities) suggest that heterogeneous activities placed in proximity lead to the greatest levels of value creation. From this, we propose a combined scale-and-scope theory of IT industry cluster growth. Our perspective emphasizes the amplifying effects of scale-size on scope effects across industries. We study the growth patterns of four IT industries: computer and peripheral manufacturing, semiconductor and other electronic components manufacturing, software publishing and data processing and what effect collocation of one industry has on others. Our data covers firms in 170 counties of 17 states in the United States in a longitudinal study spanning 1998 to 2002. Using econometric analysis, we find that different IT industries are affected differently by collocation. The software industry does not experience significant collocation externalities. In contrast, the semiconductor industry experiences significant scale-size effects, as well as scope effects from the software industry, which enhance its scale-size effects. We also find that computer manufacturing experiences economies of scope effects from semiconductors, while data processing feels scope effects from the computer and software industries.

Warehouse management system (WMS) is the answer to reducing inventory cost and improving degree of customer satisfaction, which means a great deal to enterprises. With the competition of logistic industry becoming severe, the need of promoting performance of WMS increases rapidly. This paper discusses the design and implement of WMS based on aspect oriented programming (AOP), which simplifies its system structure, increases its agility, expansibility and maintainability by reengineering business logic, and thus adapts itself well to current warehouse management. We also describes how AOP was applied and how does it work in our system through an example of stocking in. Applying AOP to WMS benefits to solve some existing problems in current WMS, for example complex structure, poor maintenance and poor adaptation.

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.
