China relies on coal to fuel its economy, coal accounts for more than 70 per cent of all the energy consumed, coal will remain the predominant fuel well into the next century. The huge demand and coal marketization reform in China stimulate the development of coal trading center who has achieved dramatic increases over the past ten years. This paper analyses the evolution and trading pattern of China steam coal trade from the 1950s to the present years, identifies some of the problems. It investigates the opportunities and driving factors of steam coal trading center in China. It can be find that coal trading center will continue to expand and become a more important coal trading pattern in replacing the conventional trading one. Then the value of coal trading center has been described. Finally the paper identifies the coal trading center should be service dominated and present 3 possible business.

Marketers provide brand intangible value to obtain price premium and brand loyalty. Along two novel dimensions of social visibility and perceived differentiation, we classified brand intangible value into four types: conformity value, role value, self-identity value and experiential value. Empirical studies verify the existence of these four brand intangible values, and they are significantly affected by perceived quality. Further analysis show that role value, self-identity value, experiential value significantly impact customer satisfaction, but the linkage between conformity value and customer satisfaction is weak.

For companies to take full advantage of the potential offered by the Web, it is essential that their e-commerce websites be prepared and organized in highly usable manner. Companies with better website quality will save time and money, promote customer satisfaction and continued business, and gain an advantage over their competitors. This paper is an attempt to investigate the current issues and challenges for the top 10 B2C e-commerce websites in terms of promoting and marketing their products and services in China. The managerial implications and suggestions for future research are also discussed.

Effective identification of key user knowledge sources which are able to match with the innovation task of the enterprise can reduce the cost of enterprise search and evaluation, enhance the participation willingness, and promote innovation performance in crowdsourcing innovation mode. Based on the bilateral perspective of both enterprises and users, the present paper proposes the framework to identify the key user knowledge sources from three aspects of the user knowledge value, the willingness of knowledge exchange and the absorptive capability of the enterprise. The key user knowledge sources identification system constructed by the paper is scientific, reasonable and practical, which is proved by the empirical research by using gray relational analysis.

The advent of e-commerce has prompted many retailers to sell product by online channel. In this paper, we study the competitive strategies between a traditional retailer and an online retailer. We investigate how the changes of the degree of customer acceptance of the online channel and the traditional channel inconvenience affect the strategies of the two retailers under two different Stackelberg competition scenarios: online retailer-Stackelberg competition and traditional retailer-Stackelberg competition. We get that whether the price and profit of the traditional retailer is higher than the online retailer mainly depends on the traditional retailer's inconvenience under the different competition scenarios. Furthermore, The two retailer's total profit is higher in the TC-Stackelberg setting than in the OC-Stackelberg setting when the customer acceptance of the online retailer is relative small, otherwise, is lower in the TC-Stackelberg setting than in the OC-Stackelberg setting when the customer acceptance of the online retailer is relative large. Under the Stackelberg settings, when the customer acceptance of the online retailer is relative small, the two players both like to work as a leader; otherwise, they would like to work as a follower.

Research on robot control and related technology of biped walking has important theoretical value in the field of robot research. Comparing the advantages and disadvantages of existing robot control and walking schemes, this paper designs and implements a biped walking robot under the control of Cortex-M3. By studying and emulating human walking gait, we designed a robot which can walk in the way that matches all the predefined action modes. The robot uses Cortex-M3 811 MCU as the core control, the servo controller as auxiliary control. The servo controller generates multiple PWM waves to drive the servo. With repeatedly adjusting and modification, the performance of the biped walking robot can satisfy all the design requirements.

This paper examines the overall development of professional identity of two English teachers in the same Chinese college employing the narrative analysis approach. The process of sharing two participants' teaching experiences is proved to be instrumental in combing and understanding their change in professional identity, to which four factors are found to be instrumental, namely teachers' personality, the social environment they lived in, their prior experiences and their subjective initiative. The induction period is crucial and thus deserves guidance and support from the authority.
