ABSTRACT Chinese business schools have made impressive progress in improving their quality, but there is still room for improvement. However, they have improved largely by copying the traditional American model of business education at a time when this model is coming under increasing critique for good reasons, including placing great effort on producing much rigorously conducted research, which makes little practical impact. Thus, having learned much from foreign business schools, the time has come for Chinese business schools to be bold and pursue their own model. Such a model should focus more on research that pays increased attention to context, including indigenous research, and is of greater practical relevance. Furthermore, given ongoing change inside Chinese business schools and in their external environment, it may be easier to make needed changes in China. Regarding teaching, business schools are encouraged to move beyond a focus on teaching content well to teaching content in ways that it can be readily applied; do more to develop understanding of how to leverage modern technologies like AI, big data, internet of things, and digitalization; focus more on adjusting teaching to the local context; and focus more on developing innovation/creativity and analytical ability, rather than memorization of facts. 摘要 在过去的三十年中，中国商学院取得了令人咂舌的长足进展。但是从其成长过程来看，他们基本上拷贝了美国的商学教育模式。近年来，美国商学院的模式正在遭到越来越多的抨击，因为这种模式过度强调发表质量高、但与实践脱节的研究论文。作者认为，在认识到国外商学院的弊病之后，中国商学院大胆创造自己独特新模式的时机已经成熟。而且，中国社会大环境和商学院内部小环境的变化，也有利于新模式的建立。这个新的商学院模式应该聚焦于与本土环境接地气、具有重要实践价值的学术研究。从教学的角度，商学院应该鼓励把教学的内容倾斜到可以直接应用于实践的知识；更深地理解用现代科技如人工智能、大数据、万物互联、数字化进行组织管理；更关注把教学内容与本土情境相结合；更注重培养学生的分析能力和创造力，而不是死记硬背的功夫。

ABSTRACT Building on recent developments in optimal distinctiveness (OD) research, we identify two dimensions of corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices – CSR scope conformity and CSR emphasis differentiation – and examine the antecedents of both. We theorize that private ownership and enhanced media coverage may increase scope conformity and emphasis differentiation, while such effects may be contingent on industrial context. In socially contested industries, the impact of private ownership on scope conformity will be mitigated, and the impact of media coverage on scope conformity will be amplified. Meanwhile, in highly competitive industries, the impact of private ownership and media coverage on emphasis differentiation will be mitigated. We test our predictions using a database of 942 Chinese publicly listed firms between 2008 and 2016. Our findings imply that the choice of optimal CSR strategy has to be made in accordance with the embedding context. The multidimensionality view of OD enables firms to better orchestrate firms’ strategic positioning along different dimensions of complex practices, which leads to better customization of societal expectations and the industrial competitive landscape. 摘要 本文根据最优区分理论的最新进展，聚焦于企业社会责任实践的两个维度，即合规一致性和重点差异度，来探索这两个维度的变化驱动因素。我们提出，企业私有制和高媒体关注度会增强企业社会责任活动的合规一致性和重点差异度，但这种影响会随着行业背景不同而发生变化。在具有高社会争议性的行业中，企业私有制对合规一致性的影响作用会被削弱，而媒体关注度对合规一致性的影响则会增强。同时，在竞争激烈的行业中，企业私有制和媒体关注度对重点差异度的影响也会被减弱。我们使用2008年至 2016 年间 942 家中国上市公司的数据库进行分析，结果表明，最优化的企业社会责任战略必须结合企业所在行业环境进行制定和调整。最优区分理论的多维度分析视角能够帮助企业更好地在复杂市场竞争中寻找到自己的最优定位，从而更好地服务于利益相关者。

ABSTRACT This article takes group subsidiaries that were listed in the A-share market of Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges in China from 2012 to 2017 as the research subject and innovatively explores the impact of subsidiary TMT (top management team) attention at different networks on subsidiary innovation, considering dual network embedding characteristics and autonomy of subsidiaries. Results show that subsidiary TMT group network attention will inhibit subsidiary innovation, while their external network attention will promote subsidiary innovation, after the inclusion of industry category factors, the effect has changed accordingly, but the moderating effect of subsidiary autonomy on the relationship between subsidiary TMT attention on different networks and subsidiary innovation is always significant. The identification of subsidiary TMT attention not only supplements to current literature's narrow focus on impact of the group parent company attention on subsidiary behaviors, but also broadens theoretical understanding of the driving factors of innovation behavior of subsidiaries. Through expounding on the moderating role of subsidiary autonomy, this article clarifies boundary conditions of subsidiary TMT attention's impact on subsidiary innovation and provides operable guidance for subsidiary TMT to allocate and utilize their attention to promote the development of subsidiary innovation behaviors. 摘要 本文以2012-2017年中国沪深市A股上市且具有集团背景的子公司为对象，结合子公司双重网络嵌入特质，在考虑子公司自主权情况下，创新性的探讨了子公司高管团队不同网络层面注意力对子公司创新的影响。结果表明，子公司高管团队集团网络注意力会抑制子公司创新行为开展，外部网络注意力对子公司创新具有促进作用，子公司自主权可调节子公司高管团队不同网络层面注意力与子公司创新间关系。文章对子公司高管团队注意力的识别，不仅是对以往仅关注母公司高管团队注意力对子公司行为作用的补充，还拓宽了对子公司创新行为驱动因素的理论认知。对子公司自主权调节作用的阐释，明晰了子公司高管团队注意力影响子公司创新的边界条件，并可为子公司高管团队如何分配及利用可促成自身创新行为开展的注意力提供可操作性指导。

Combining the dual network embedding characteristics of subsidiaries, and considering the autonomy of subsidiaries, it innovatively explores the impact of different network levels of attention on the innovation of subsidiary executives. The results indicate that the group network attention of subsidiary executive teams can inhibit the development of subsidiary innovation behavior, external network attention has a promoting effect on subsidiary innovation, and subsidiary autonomy can regulate the relationship between different network level attention of subsidiary executive teams and subsidiary innovation. The identification of the attention of subsidiary executive teams in the article not only supplements the previous focus on the role of parent company executive team attention in subsidiary behavior, but also broadens the theoretical understanding of the driving factors of subsidiary innovation behavior. The explanation of the regulatory role of subsidiary autonomy clarifies the boundary conditions under which the attention of subsidiary executive teams affects subsidiary innovation, and provides actionable guidance on how subsidiary executive teams allocate and utilize attention that can facilitate their own innovative behavior.

ABSTRACT The increasing FDI in Africa from China and India in recent years has drawn the attention of scholars, policy makers, and the media. Africa is an arena where the two emerging giants compete on different bases. Indian firms have the advantage of institutional proximity and large diaspora communities in Africa, while Chinese firms rely on government-to-government relationship-building. The rivalry between India's soft power and Chinese hard power in Africa will continue for the foreseeable future.

ABSTRACT To stimulate a debate about the rise of China's digital economy, this essay compares China and the US in one key area of the digital economy – e-commerce and internet-based services. China still lags behind the US in internet penetration, but it distinguishes itself by building a mobile-first, fiber-intensive, and inclusive digital infrastructure. A favorable infrastructure, innovations tailored to the large Chinese market, and local firms’ rapid commercialization of products and services turned the world's largest domestic population into active online consumers, helping China overtake the US by a large margin in retail e-commerce and digital payment. While China translated digital technologies into leading business-to-customer and customer-to-customer businesses, it has not been so successful in business-to-business services. The US is still ahead in the general-purpose technologies underlying the digital economy.

ABSTRACT This research commentary responds to Jiang and Murmann (2022), by offering further explanations for the miraculous growth of the digital economy in China from both the demand and supply perspectives. To complement their views, we identify several additional important factors, and classify them in three categories in an explanatory model. We believe that factors on the demand side played a primary role, along with innovative and entrepreneurial e-commerce service providers on the supply side. Infrastructures and government policies provided the foundation and a facilitating environment. We conclude that digital transformation of traditional industries will become the next wave of digital economy, stronger than the previous wave of e-commerce. Implications for research and practices are also discussed. In addition, we highlight emerging trends and turbulences. In conclusion, despite short-term turbulences, we expect that the digital economy in China will make big-stride progress in the long term, with strong potential to continue its growth.

ABSTRACT The extensive narrative of growth and development of the information and communication technologies (ICTs) in China by Jiang and Murmann (2022) and the discussion of Chinese strengths and weaknesses portray the remarkable progress that China has made, especially in technology relative to advances in the basic sciences. In our response, we situate their contribution in the larger context of Chinese economic growth and the challenges it faces in transforming these accomplishments into an embedded national capability to become a leading innovation economy and thereby deliver prosperity to its enormous but aging population. The contexts for the successes and weaknesses in ICT that Jiang and Murmann (2022) describe so admirably are vital for a more comprehensive understanding of their place in the overall development of China.

ABSTRACT This study presents a cross-temporal comparison of managerial ethics in China and the US. Although it is well established that cross-cultural differences exist in business ethics and that culture and values in a society may evolve over time, little attention has been paid to the longitudinal changes in such cross-cultural differences that might have occurred over time. Building on three different perspectives on values evolution, namely, convergence, divergence, and crossvergence, we investigate whether and how cross-cultural differences in managerial ethical decision-making and the associated moral philosophy have changed in China and the US over the decade between the mid-1990s and the mid-2000s. Our analysis reveals that the difference in Chinese and American managers' ethical decision-making evolved in many different directions over the decade, lending support to the crossvergence perspective. Interestingly, however, we discover that the divergence outlook prevails when it comes to the moral philosophies behind their decision-making. These findings provide critical insights into cross-cultural as well cross-temporal evolution in business ethics in a world of increasing cross-cultural and multicultural interactions. 摘要 本文对中美两国经理人员的商业伦理决策进行了跨期比较研究。已有研究普遍认为，商业伦理中存在着跨文化差异，且一个社会的文化和价值观会随着时间的推移而演化。但是，相关研究对这种跨文化差异随着时间的推移而发生纵向变化的关注相对较少。基于价值观演化的三种不同视角——趋同、趋异和交叉融合，我们研究了在20世纪90年代中期至21世纪最初十年的中期这一阶段，中美两国经理人员的商业伦理决策和相关道德哲学的跨文化差异的纵向变化。我们的分析表明，在这十年中，中美两国经理人员的商业伦理决策差异在多个不同方向上演化，存在着交叉融合。然而，有趣的是，我们也发现，当涉及到商业伦理决策背后深层次的道德哲学时，相互间的差异点占了上风。这些发现为在全球日益增多的跨文化和多元文化互动中深度认识商业伦理的跨文化和跨时间演化提供了重要见解。
