Empowerment or impediment? School governance in the school-based management era in Hong Kong

Following the international trend in education towards democracy and decentralization, the Hong Kong government introduced a school-based management (SBM) system about two decades ago. It is widely recognized in the literature that decentralization, empowering school level management and marginalizing the influence of the intermediate level of governance, can result in better deployment of school resources and better meet the demands of various stakeholders. However, in the unique historical and cultural context of Hong Kong, the advantages of decentralization claimed in the literature have yet to be fully realized. This paper discusses the contextual factors affecting the implementation of SBM in Hong Kong, and examines their impact on four major stakeholders, namely the government, the principals, the teachers, and the parents in the wake of reform.

The role of technological catch up and domestic market growth in the genesis of emerging country based multinationals

The paper presents a model that evaluates how upgraded technological capabilities of emerging country based multinationals (EMNCs) and an increase in the domestic market size of large emerging countries affect value chain location choices and the competitiveness of emerging country based firms versus advanced country based ones. The model shows that, even without possessing a competitive advantage in terms of technology and/or brands, EMNCs from large or rapidly technologically advancing countries can become dominant players in the global system. The model highlights the central role of firm level technological intensity and product differentiation in determining the location of value chain activities as well as defining organisational boundaries. Empirical analysis of the location choices of the world's top multinationals from large advanced and emerging countries in 2010 supports the model's predictions.     

区域科技创业生态系统运行机制及政策仿真研究

结合复杂系统理论和科技创业理论构建了区域创业生态系统的多Agent模型,该模型通过各类科技创业相关Agent行为之间的交互作用模拟区域科技创业生态系统的演化规律,应用Netlogo对模型进行仿真,通过改变政策工具变量和各类Agent属性参数观察区域科技企业数量的变化,然后对仿真结果进行分析。研究结果发现:(1)创业政策实施需要一定的时间,急功近利的措施可能会破坏科技创业生态系统的正常运行。(2)中介服务机构和创业金融机构数量的增加有利于促进区域科技创业活动。(3)政府对PE/VC等金融机构的风险补偿优于对科技创业家的直接补贴。(4)良好的创业教育和区域产学研合作网络有利于区域科技创业生态系统的良性发展。     

Grade 7 Students Reading Graphic Novels: ‘You Need To Do a Lot of Thinking’

A multifaceted, classroom‐based research project explored how developing Grade 7 students’ knowledge of literary and illustrative elements affects their understanding, interpretation and analysis of picturebooks and graphic novels, and their subsequent creation of their own print texts. Analysis of two sources of data, the students’ written responses to Amulet ( Kibuishi 2008 ), one of the graphic novels read and discussed during the study, and the students’ opinions about the knowledge that is required to read and understand a graphic novel, indicated how the instruction about various graphic novel conventions had impacted the students’ awareness of and knowledge about the structural design of these multimodal texts.     

USING STRUCTURE INFORMATION TO GUIDE DIAGNOSIS

为了快速得到“模型诊断”中的最优测量点，建立了系统的二值模型；它只包含候选故障元，且它们的因果关系与原系统保持一致，然后，利用结构信息区分候选诊断．这种方法可看成是期望熵法的极值结构特征提取．直接适用于连续或离散系统．这样可以采用“对分法”在Ｏ（Ｎ２）时间内给出一个优化测量点．
