A lexicon of inter-institutional cooperation

Recent studies have indicatedthat, while there is a great deal of interestamong both governments and institutions ininter-institutional cooperation, theterminology of cooperation is confused andimprecise. Mergers are sometimes characterizedas being an extension of inter-institutionalcooperation, sometimes they are regarded asseparate, unique, and situated on a plane orcontinuum different from that of suchstructures as federations and consortia. Yet,in generic terms, mergers share a number ofcharacteristics with other forms ofcooperation, and are often pursued for the samereasons. This study investigates the originsand motivations of inter-institutionalcooperation in order to show that the variousforms of cooperation, including merger, arepart of a single evolutionary continuum. Next,it develops a lexicon or taxonomy ofinter-institutional cooperation. Finally, itdiscusses the directions thatinter-institutional cooperation might take inthe future along that continuum.     

交易费用、聚集经济与跨国公司区位

对跨国公司区位选址变化趋势的分析表明，聚集经济已经成为跨国公司新的区位优势来源。以此为基础，本文进一步分析了作为中间组织的产业集群的交易特质，指出聚集经济交易费用节约的性质，然后从静态和动态两个方面分析了其对跨国公司区位选择的意义，并据此考察了跨国公司集群区位选择的收益。     

移动通信行业的规模经济性检验——基于105家运营商面板数据的研究

使用34个国家105家运营商1999～2004的季度面板数据,通过利润率分析法检验了移动通信行业的规模经济性,结果表明移动通信行业的用户规模与利润率之间存在倒U型关系,规模经济性只在一定范围内存在,过大的规模反而会降低利润率。同时根据估计参数给出了最优经济规模。     

The ‘brand name’ research university goes global

This paper traces attempts by two ‘brand-name’ research universities to transnationalise: the US-based Johns Hopkins University, and the University of New South Wales from Australia. Both endeavours were located in, and supported by, Singapore, a city–state with knowledge economy aspirations. The paper explores the globalisation of the research university, and offers insights into the regimes of value that are being assembled in, and through knowledge economies. Both institutions examined in this study failed in their attempts ostensibly because of a lack of fit in goals and commitment. The paper also highlights the ethical issues that frame the globalizing rationalities of research-intensive universities and developmental states seeking competitive advantage in a neoliberalising environment.     

从规模经济到范围经济——远程教育经济规律的变迁

第二次鸦片战争与华工出洋合法化

鸦片战争后,英法为首的西方国家对劳工的需求和清政府禁止华工出洋的传统政策发生了激烈冲突。英法等国迫切希望谋得在华招工的合法地位,而第二次鸦片战争正好为它们提供了契机,战争形势左右着华工问题的交涉。在英法等国的军事威胁下,合法招工权利首先被清政府两广地方官员所承认,随后的《北京条约》更是将招工合法化扩大到各个通商口岸。第二次鸦片战争是导致华工出洋合法化的主要客观因素。     

论金融危机背景下我国高等教育的规模与质量

在规模经济理论的影响下,我国的高等教育规模近年来快速扩张。范围经济理论的优点在于能够制约单纯依靠规模扩张带来的负面影响。在金融危机的影响下,我国的高等教育规模发展将受到限制,同时也迎来了由注重规模向注重质量转变的良好契机。当前我国的高等教育应在稳定规模的同时,通过优化高等学校结构、合理配置资源等措施,努力提高高等教育质量。

Embracing Social Sustainability in Design Education: A Reflection on a Case Study in Haiti

Sustainable design issues are complex and multi-faceted and need integration in the education of young designers. Current research recommends a holistic view based on problem-solving and inter-disciplinary work, yet few design educators have brought these ideas to their full consequence. Sustainability education for designers is still often rooted in environmental issues, providing incomplete understanding of the broader relationships at hand. The article reflects on a case study of a student-initiated multi-disciplinary design project in Haiti. This reflection allows for discussing a number of issues related to establishing an educational agenda for incorporating social sustainability in design education, including recommendations for how to address motivation, expected learning outcomes, and feedback and guidance.
