关于旅游意外保险在旅行社遭“冷遇”的若干思考

旅行社作为旅游意外保险的主要销售代理商,不但没有扮演好销售代理商的角色,还在一定程度上制约了旅游者对之的认可和接受。因此,有必要对旅游意外保险遭旅行社“冷遇”的相关问题进行探讨。     

Conceptualizing the impact of corruption in national institutions and national stakeholder service systems on e-government maturity

Research linking corruption and e-government maturity has mainly focused on the impact of e-government on corruption, and a vast majority of studies among them indicate that e-government can effectively lower the level of corruption in a country. As opposed to this well-developed stream of research, we explore and contribute to another potential but under-developed stream of research: the impact of corruption on e-government maturity. Drawing on the institutional perspective to construe corruption, we argue that corruption in three basic national institutions (political, legal, and media) and two national stakeholder service systems (business and citizen systems) in a country can hinder its e-government maturity. Specifically, we propose a holistic framework that conceptualizes the negative influence of corruption in national institutions and national stakeholder service systems on e-government maturity by drawing on five key theoretical perspectives—agency theory, control theory, theory of X-inefficiency, rent-seeking theory, and trust in institutions—grounded in corruption and information systems project management literature. The proposed conceptual framework is expected to (1) guide future empirical research on “corruption–e-government” phenomenon by providing rich theoretical explanations; and (2) offer a comprehensive strategy for practitioners and policymakers dealing with e-government projects and initiatives.     

危机环境下的报纸版式变革

当前,世界报业面临网络媒体冲击和世界经济危机双重打击。在应变中,报纸版面设计出现一些新的趋势,其主要表现为:版面形式模仿和融合网络媒体特点,报纸开张小型化,广告对版面的支配力更强等等。这些改变并未能深层次地解决报纸生存发展的困境,反而暴露出报纸内部职业原则的动摇,而这才是报业面临的最深刻、最致命的危机。     

关于“采访”“朝报”二词的考证——兼与廖基添先生商榷“邸报”的性质

从现有资料看,采访一词最早出现于汉末三国时期刘劭的《人物志》,而不是晋代干宝的《搜神记序》;朝报一词最早出现于北宋王禹偁称的《小畜集》。邸报的发展经历了一个复杂的过程,到宋代时已经是比较严格意义上的报纸了。     

Ambidexterity lost? Compromising innovation and the exploration/exploitation plan

Although innovation is central to a firm's success and a top priority for most technology managers, firms commonly report disappointment that innovation outcomes do not match their original plans. This paper examines the difference in intended innovation and realized innovation using an exploration/exploitation framing. Its focus is on changes to defined innovation plans that occur after planning phases end. Extant literature and field research form the basis for hypotheses that are then tested using a large scale survey of an entire population of small and medium-sized high-technology enterprises (SMEs).Findings of compromised exploration in favor of exploitation, during the development phase, is quantified. Firms divert resources away from novel emergent exploration and into existing product development, thereby undercutting innovation plans. Intended innovation, established during the planning stages, is found to be compromised.Our hypotheses, that agency and resource dependence underpin a shifting between explorative and exploitative development, have support. The paper's theoretical contributions include the application of novel agency and resource dependence perspectives onto innovation. It informs ambidexterity research by indicating where, how much, and why erosion in the balance of exploration/exploitation occurs and provides new avenues for research into low innovation outcomes.     

Facilitators and barriers to African American high school students' self-determination skill expression

We conducted four focus group interviews with 24 high school youth to examine facilitators and barriers to African American high school students' expression of various self-determination skills (e.g., choice/decision making, self-advocacy, goal setting, and attainment etc.). The majority of our research participants were African American, with one student identifying as multiracial (African American and White). Key findings revealed that personal (e.g., desire to graduate from school) and contextual factors (e.g., school counselor and teacher support) influenced the participants' expression of multiple self-determination skills. We also found that some of the participants' motives for utilizing or not utilizing specific skills were influenced by what they perceived as racist, punitive, and restrictive school practices (e.g., teachers holding negative perceptions about African American students and school counselors restricting their access to advanced courses). Findings from this study support ongoing calls for educators to consider students' cultural backgrounds and lived experiences when promoting their expression of self-determination skills.     

都市报情感倾诉类报道传播伦理探讨

所谓情感倾诉类报道,指都市报倾诉类栏目中由记者采访主述人写成的口述实录类个人情感故事。其传播所营造出的夸张的"滥情化"拟态环境及其产生的广泛的社会影响,是对社会伦理道德和社会行为规范的一种动摇。因此,媒介当重新审视情感倾诉类内容传播的社会性选择。     

论高校人事代理关系——一种新的法律现象的思考

高校人事代理是高校人事制度改革的一种尝试。自1995年以来,它发展迅速。伴随着全国高校人事代理实践的展开,其理论研究也在不断发展。但是,目前高校人事代理学说纷呈,实践形式多样,人事代理关系非常混乱。在对其梳理和整合的基础上,指出在诸多的代理形式中只有高校和聘用合同受聘人委托的两种形式比较规范,值得提倡和推行,其他形式因其自身的缺陷不宜继续采用。     

高校人事代理的制度与理念——一种新的法律现象的思考

高校人事代理是高校人事制度改革的一种尝试。自1995年以来,它发展迅速。伴随着全国高校人事代理实践的展开,其理论研究也在不断发展。但是,目前高校人事代理学说纷呈,实践形式多样,人事代理关系非常混乱。在对人事代理概念分析的基础上,揭示了人事代理的基本特征:当事人的特定化、当事人的平等地位、社会化服务、代理合同关系和有偿性,解读了高校人事代理主体及其法律关系的差异构成,修正了几种人事代理的错误认识,指出了在诸多的代理形式中只有高校和聘用合同受聘人单独委托的两种形式比较规范,值得提倡和推行,其他形式因其自身的缺陷不宜继续采用。
