农业企业社会责任动机对财务绩效的影响

运用扎根理论研究方法,对沪深两市中14家农业企业2008年的社会责任表现数据进行分析,构建农业企业社会责任动机与财务绩效的关系模型并进行检验.得出战略动机有助于提高企业财务绩效,而利他动机对财务绩效的影响以负面为主,但不排除因赢得社会声誉提高财务绩效的可能性;产品创新和过程创新的契合度调节了企业社会责任表现对财务绩效的影响,即产品创新、过程创新与企业社会责任表现的协调一致能够有效提高企业财务绩效.     

公司治理视角下基于VPRS的公司经营困境预警

从公司治理的角度,构建了一套比较全面的综合预警指标体系。以2006-2009年首次被ST的160家上市公司及其配对公司作为研究样本,基于变精度粗糙集理论(VPRS),分别构建仅包含财务指标和包含所有指标的上市公司经营困境预警模型。通过理论分析和实证研究发现:健康公司和困境公司在早期的公司治理方面就存在着显著差异,晚期差异逐渐减小;加入公司治理变量后的变精度粗糙集模型的预测精度得到了提高;仅包含财务数据的模型在经营困境的晚期预测精度较高,早期预测效果不佳;对早期预测来说,包含财务指标和公司治理指标等多方面因素的模型更加适合。

Valuation for the Strategic Management of Research and Development Projects: The Deferral Option

Abstract:

The most widely used financial technique for evaluating projects is discounted cash flow; however, discounted cash flow analysis fails to consider flexibility. Real options analysis offers an alternative technique that provides value for the managerial flexibility that is inherent in most R&D projects. This article investigates the deferral option using computer simulation. There are five variables that determine the value of the deferral option, and simulations analyze these variables over a wide range of conditions. Sensitivity analysis on the five variables is performed and the results are discussed.

A comparison of workplace safety perceptions among financial decision-makers of medium- vs. large-size companies

This study, through a random national survey in the U.S., explored how corporate financial decision-makers perceive important workplace safety issues as a function of the size of the company for which they worked (medium- vs. large-size companies). Telephone surveys were conducted with 404 U.S. corporate financial decision-makers: 203 from medium-size companies and 201 from large companies. Results showed that the patterns of responding for participants from medium- and large-size companies were somewhat similar. The top-rated safety priorities in resource allocation reported by participants from both groups were overexertion, repetitive motion, and bodily reaction. They believed that there were direct and indirect costs associated with workplace injuries and for every dollar spent improving workplace safety, more than four dollars would be returned. They perceived the top benefits of an effective safety program to be predominately financial in nature – increased productivity and reduced costs – and the safety modification participants mentioned most often was to have more/better safety-focused training. However, more participants from large- than medium-size companies reported that “falling on the same level” was the major cause of workers’ compensation loss, which is in line with industry loss data. Participants from large companies were more likely to see their safety programs as better than those of other companies in their industries, and those of medium-size companies were more likely to mention that there were no improvements needed for their companies.     

Macroelectronics: a gateway to electronics and instrumentationeducation

Conventional approaches to teaching electronics and instrumentation emphasize microelectronics. This paper describes an approach that emphasizes macroelectronics instead. The objectives of the electronics course now focus on giving students the tools they need to create useful electronic instruments composed of functional subsystems. To achieve this goal, a design project is given at the beginning of the course. The design projects are chosen to provide motivation and affirmation of course content. We have used a power supply and a semiconductor curve tracer as example design projects in offerings at our respective universities. The experience has been positive as measured by student responses and their ability to complete useful instruments. We have also used a model corporate structure as a way to organize student efforts and to handle the support needed to ensure success. All students serve a technical role as design engineers. Depending on class size and the size of model companies desired, students vie for executive, marketing, financial, procurement, manufacturing, and technical-documentation positions     

Using simulation-based system dynamics and genetic algorithms to reduce the cash flow bullwhip in the supply chain

The bullwhip effect (BWE) is a phenomenon, which is caused by ineffective inventory decisions made by supply chain members. In addition to known inefficiencies caused by the bullwhip effect within a supply chain product flow, such as excessive inventory, it can also lead to inefficiencies in cash flow such as the cash flow bullwhip (CFB). The CFB reduces the efficiency of the supply chain (SC) through heterogeneous distribution of cash among supply chain members. This paper aims to decrease both the BWE and the CFB across a SC through applying a simulation-based optimisation approach, which integrates system dynamics (SD) simulation and genetic algorithms. For this purpose, cash flow modelling is incorporated into the SD structure of the beer distribution game (BG) to develop the CFB function. A multi objective optimisation model is then integrated with the SD-BG simulation model. Finally, a genetic algorithm (GA) is applied to determine the optimal values for the inventory, supply line, and financial decision parameters. Results show that the proposed integrated framework leads to efficient liquidity management in the SC in addition to cost management.
