家族企业股权融资偏好及治理效应的实证研究

相比较一般意义上的企业,家族企业不仅是一个企业系统,它还包含着家族伦理,具有家族和企业的二元特征。本文以2004-2010年我国A股家族上市公司为样本,采用非平衡面板数据,研究了二元特征下家族企业的股权融资偏好,并分析了外部投资者的进入对家族企业治理效率的影响。研究表明,国内家族企业在引进外部投资者时受到利他主义的调节作用。研究进一步发现,战略投资者的引进能够长期有效地提升家族企业的治理效率,而财务投资者的引进对家族企业治理效率的影响并不显著。     

论西方金融法规理论基础的利他主义和利己主义

消费者与金融服务业者之间的差距日益加大,会对消费者权益有所危害。各国在金融法规革新时,都将如何提升对消费者的保护列为重要课题。在这些金融法规的制定过程中,政府都会遵循一些理论作为其制定的基础。按照凯恩的理论,这些理论基础主要分成两个比较大的流派,一个是利他主义,一个是利己主义。     

对利他主义道德教育的再思考

传统利他主义伦理观在强调无私利他的同时反对一切个人利益的诉求而失去了其存在人性论基础。社会生物学认为利己与利他并非二元对立的两极,只是个体在不同环境中所采取的不同生存策略。就人类来说,亲缘范围内的利他是无私利他,而社会范围内的利他则更多是互惠利他。人类的利他行为是知与情统一,是先天与后天协同作用的结果。在一个神圣祛魅、道德世俗化的时代,我们应从内容到方法对利他主义道德教育进行合乎现实与理性的修订。     

Building a bridge between Western and Eastern worlds: reciprocal learning programmes that create reflective practice,hope and prosperity in education

ABSTRACT

This paper focuses on the Reciprocal Learning Programmes between Western and Eastern educational systems through a Sister School project as well as, a Reciprocal Learning Programme through preservice programs between a Canadian university and a Chinese university. Benefits of the Reciprocal Learning Programs include reflective practice of content and pedagogical learning, cultural and societal learning, globalisation and emotional and social impact. Qualitative documentation demonstrates that educational, social and cultural dimensions are cultivated and nurtured through the Reciprocal Learning programs and have positively affected the students, educators and leaders involved in the project. Criteria for success in the programs included professional and personal commitment, educator inquiry, vulnerability, organisational commitment and multi-dimensional partnerships.     

Catering for teachers’ individual teaching differences in China: the case of forming reciprocal coaching circles supported by university-based teacher educators

Opportunities for high quality teachers’ continuing professional development (CPD) are considered scarce in Asian countries such as China, Vietnam, and Cambodia. In addition, there seem to be few sustainable outcomes of teachers’ CPD. The present study aimed to address English teachers’ dissatisfaction with their own CPD in China. With some university-based teacher educators’ support, reciprocal coaching circles were formed by English teachers, where they identified common teaching problems and worked out practical solutions appropriate for their local contexts collaboratively. The findings suggest multiple benefits, including higher confidence in teaching, an expanded repertoire of teaching strategies, and teachers’ professional communities. Both in-service teachers and university-based teacher educators contribute to reciprocal coaching circles in complimentary ways, with local teachers being the main agent for change and university-based teacher educators being facilitators.     

How Personality and Gender May Relate to Individual Attitudes Toward Caring for and About Others

Heightened global awareness and caring are reported as attributes of high intelligence. But we noted enough exceptions in our gifted clientele to question whether feelings of global concern are further related to personality type and gender. A nonrandom sample of 124 bright adults responded to author-developed Likert scale online survey questions about global issues. Results indicated a significant relationship between gender and scores on the Bothered by Catastrophe and Problem Action scales, with females scoring higher than males. Individuals with Feeling-Perceiving personality type had significantly higher scores on the Bothered by Catastrophe Scale. Extroverts were significantly higher on Concern About Global Issues than introverts. Other Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® personality results were unclear and no interactions were found.     

The mainstreaming of charities into schools

Abstract

This paper focuses on the ‘mainstreaming’ of charities into schools. There have been growing concerns about the permeation of business and business values in education, but relatively little attention has been paid to the ways in which schools are increasingly engaged in the ‘business’ of fundraising for charities. Drawing on survey data from the WISERDEducation Multi-Cohort Study (WMCS), the paper outlines young people’s relationship with charities. The data show that young people have a high degree of engagement with charities, in which schools play a significant part. There are likely to be many positive aspects to this engagement, inasmuch as it fosters and reflects young people’s sense of collective responsibility. However, there are also issues about the extent to which this high level of involvement marginalises other approaches to promote the social good and increases the permeation of business values and business into school. The paper concludes that the current mainstreaming of charities into schools is not necessarily a self-evident ‘good’ and that this under-researched phenomenon deserves greater critical attention within and outwith schools.     

Educational distance from the perspective of self‐direction: an analysis

To establish which factors predict student intentions to contribute towards an OpenCourseWare site, an online questionnaire was distributed among University of Queensland students via email. The 320 participants completed items that were based on the theory of planned behaviour and were designed to measure attitudes, subjective norms and perceived behavioural control. Measures of altruistic motivation were also included as a predictor for intentions to contribute. Overall, attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control and altruistic motivation explained 43.1% of the variance in students’ intentions to contribute. Attitudes and altruistic motivation were the strongest predictors, accounting for 7.49% and 7.12%, respectively, with subjective norms accounting for 3.9%. Perceived behavioural control was not found to contribute to the explanatory model. The implications for universities creating new OpenCourseWare sites are discussed. Further research should investigate the effects of barriers on student intentions to develop and contribute and should examine the determinants of faculty support.     

从利己性与利他性看企业并购的动因与结果

并购作为企业自我发展与资本经营的重要途径,在近代经济发展与企业成长史上扮演着重要的角色.国内外学者从经济学、管理学等不同学科对企业并购的动因、行为、结果(绩效)进行了大量而系统的研究,取得了显著的成果.从现代心理学的角度重新阐释企业并购的动因与结果,认为企业发起并购活动的最终动因可归结为利己,而利己动机驱动下并购结果却具有利他性.
