A likely positive relationship has been observed between financial performance and safety in the airline industry from group comparison during 1994-1998 in this study. Both the overall concordant order ratio (OCOR) and the marginal order ratio (MOR) are employed in rating eight Taiwan scheduled passenger airlines over the 1994-1998 financial performance. Two interesting implications are found. Our result likely supports the theoretical model suggesting possible links between financial condition and product quality among groups. However, it is also found that the best and the worst financially performed airlines have fewer, even zero safety records.

Dual distribution system is commonly seen in industrial markets. Although transaction cost and relationship-marketing theory have been successfully applied to explaining distribution decisions, conflicts among retailers within dual channel are yet to be fully discussed in empirical study. Basically, when a manufacturer sells its product through two different channels, retailers will conflict and compete, given that they have to sell the same product at different prices. The purpose of this paper is to investigate conflicts between the manufacturer and retailer within a dual channel. Based upon the power and conflict theory, this paper aims to build a conceptual model to explain channel conflicts in a dual channel structure. We dichotomize conflict into constructive and destructive conflict types in order to further probe the content of conflict. Findings show that use of coercive power source will impact destructive conflict positively and significantly, while use of non-coercive power source impacts constructive conflict positively and significantly. Use of power is a mediator between use of power source and conflict. To conclude, we propose some managerial suggestions to manufacturers.

The scholars believed that the education of asthma knowledge for adult asthmatics may enhance their quality of life. However, the empirical results of the relationship between asthma knowledge and quality of life are still equivocal. The aim of this paper is to reexamine the relationship between asthma knowledge and quality of life. The survey sample included 453 adult patients of asthma. We tested the moderating effect of patient versus non-specified respondent and high-versus low-educational level. The results of the hypothetical models indicated that knowledge had a significant indirect effect on quality of life, via the mediation of self-care behavior and disease severity. Results did not support the alternative model, indicating that there was no direct effect, above and beyond the indirect effect, of knowledge on quality of life. The comparison analyses indicated that there was no moderating effect of respondent's identity and patient's educational level on the relationship between knowledge and quality of life. Discussions about the improvement on quality of care are also provided.

We try to explain the success of Chinese family firms and their unique appearance in form of implicit alliance by adopting the concept of embeddedness and interorganizational relationships that portray the structure of economic activities under the influence of family dominant logic and social embeddedness in on-going patterns of social relations. Cases study in traditional industries identifies the importance of role of network embeddedness in facilitating, offering, maintaining and cultivating the social capital of the implicit alliance. The comparison of the Chinese versus western family firm network also distinguishes the uniqueness of Chinese implicit alliance of family firms.

Traditionally, market returns have been assumed to be consistent with the random walk hypothesis. Explaining anomalies in market returns, such as seasonal effects, the weekend effect, and the January effect, is difficult. This study examined time series data on Taiwan Weighted Index returns from the perspective of chaos theory. A topological method, the close returns test, was applied to test whether Taiwan stock market returns exhibited chaotic behavior. The main findings of this study are that close returns test outperformed the traditional BDS (Brock, Dechert, Scheinkman) test and that Taiwan stock market returns exhibit recursive behavior rather than random walk behavior.

Little is known to the Asian and Western readers about Taiwanese women's life in organizations. This paper is an attempt to narrow the gap by sketching women's work life in Taiwan. Traditionally, women are a secondary gender in Chinese society. However, gender differences may be narrowing because Taiwan has operated a capitalistic system in the past decades. In this paper, we summarized results from a few domestic studies with an emphasis on women in organizations, and present the findings of two surveys we conducted. Our analysis indicates that (1) gender idiosyncrasy is becoming less pronounced, particularly for those men and women who experience similar organization socialization; (2) gender stereotypes may be a barrier or a facilitator for women's career development; and (3) while performing organizational citizenship behaviors, women appear more as good colleagues, but less as good soldiers. We hope this study will further our understanding of Taiwanese women's life in organizations and eventually help democratize the work culture in Taiwan in a new era.

The study uses an experiment simulation to measure how different product strategies affect consumers' Internet transaction intentions. First, using computer simulation to test Internet transaction intentions of consumers by three different attributed products (the cellular phone, the flower and the fortune-telling), two payment methods (pay with credit card and transfer at post office), two guarantee methods (to return goods service and without return goods service) and two distribution methods (deliver home and take at appointed place). Therefore, this study set up 3*2*2*2=24 situations. This study finds that Internet transaction intention of the fortune-telling and the flower are significantly higher than that of the cellular phone. Second, this study provides predicable regression equations of Internet transaction intention by Internet perceived risk and convenience degree variables. Finally, this study makes suggestions for Internet enterprises: (1) Choosing proper attributed products to sell on Internet made consumers tend to purchase on Internet (2) Reducing transaction perceived risk on Internet, such as guarantee methods and building SET (Secure Electronic Transaction) system (3) Enhancing transaction convenience on Internet, such as building EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) system.
