This study utilizes panel regression model to explore the relationships between corporate performance and the patent performance measured from patent H index, current impact index (CII), and essential patent index (EPI) in the pharmaceutical company. The results demonstrate that patent H index and EPI have positive influences upon corporate performance. Furthermore, this study developed a classification for the pharmaceutical companies to divide them into four types, and provided some suggestions to them.     

新闻惯习的产生与生产——惯习视角下的新闻生产

本文以布尔迪厄的惯习为分析工具,认为新闻生产是一个权力结构型塑个体认知,个体认知建构权力结构的双向互动过程,新闻实践是这一互动过程的动力源泉,是联接社会结构和个人心智结构的中心环节。新闻实践的展开,依据的是一种可称之为新闻惯习的实践感。新闻惯习是历史的产物,它通过教育经历和实践经验在特定的新闻场域中产生;新闻惯习是一种生成机制,能在当下和未来影响实践重构场域。
