Mergers and acquisitions: Their effect on the innovative performance of companies in high-tech industries

This study examines the post-M&A innovative performance of acquiring firms in four major high-tech sectors. Non-technological M&As appear to have a negative impact on the acquiring firm's post-M&A innovative performance. With respect to technological M&As, a large relative size of the acquired knowledge base reduces the innovative performance of the acquiring firm. The absolute size of the acquired knowledge base only has a positive effect during the first couple of years after which the effect turns around and we see a negative effect on the innovative performance of the acquiring firm. The relatedness between the acquired and acquiring firms’ knowledge bases has a curvilinear impact on the acquiring firm's innovative performance. This indicates that companies should target M&A ‘partners’ that are neither too unrelated nor too similar in terms of their knowledge base.

我国大中城市支柱产业选择比较研究

通过对35个大中城市的支柱产业选择进行调查发现,各城市对其支柱产业的选择多集中在产值和利润率较高,对技术、人才、资本要求较高的产业;不同类别的城市选择支柱产业存在较大差异;对城市支柱产业选择数量较多,其产业内部往往并未形成完善的产业链,而对产值较小、利润率较低的产业却过于忽视。

Measuring innovative performance: is there an advantage in using multiple indicators?

The innovative performance of companies has been studied quite extensively and for a long period of time. However, the results of many studies have not yet led to a generally accepted indicator of innovative performance or a common set of indicators. So far the variety in terms of constructs, measurements, samples, industries and countries has been substantial. This paper studies the innovative performance of a large international sample of nearly 1200 companies in four high-tech industries, using a variety of indicators. These indicators range from R&D inputs, patent counts and patent citations to new product announcements. The study establishes that a composite construct based on these four indicators clearly catches a latent variable ‘innovative performance’. However, our findings also suggest that the statistical overlap between these indicators is that strong that future research might also consider using any of these indicators to measure the innovative performance of companies in high-tech industries.     

Deep Participation in Underserved Communities: A Quantitative Analysis of Hearken’s Model for Engagement Journalism

ABSTRACT

Hearken is a proprietary news engagement platform growing in popularity. Under the Hearken approach, audience members are invited to participate in the newsmaking process. Hearken strives to assist news organizations in providing local and hyperlocal content that meets audience needs and demands while preserving elements of the journalist’s role as gatekeeper. Hearken has also worked to help news organizations reach underrepresented populations with mixed results per its own anecdotal analyses. This study employs a quantitative content analysis comparing one year’s worth of coverage at four different local NPR affiliates in the United States to provide a breakdown of Hearken content versus traditional reporter-driven content in the following four categories: emphasis on hyperlocal coverage, story topic prevalence within local and hyperlocal coverage, emphasis on coverage of underrepresented communities, and story topic prevalence within coverage of underrepresented communities. Findings reveal listener-driven Hearken content favors hyperlocal news on lifestyle issues while reporter-driven stories emphasize state-level governance and politics as well as local crime. These indicate a stark contrast between the content audiences want and that which journalists tend to report. The nuanced normative implications, possibilities and limitations of Hearken’s model of “deep participation” are addressed in some detail.

桥头堡建设视角的保山主导产业选择实证研究

基于桥头堡建设的角度,以保山市为例,利用主成分分析法对11个重点产业进行了实证分析。结果表明：目前,保山主导产业仍以传统的第一、第二产业为主,以旅游为主导的服务业快速发展,现代物流、口岸经济等薪兴产业亟待壮大,目前的产业格局与桥头堡建设的需求还有较大差距。     

产业转移背景下的中西部经济结构调整及优化研究

当前产业布局造成战略产业受到威胁,能源、能耗产业过于分散,纺织工业远离主要原料产地,水土污染严重,重复建设、资源浪费普遍。从战略角度看,我国的经济过于集中在东部,西部经济比较落后,对国家政治和领土完整不利,因此有必要重新审视我国的产业区位布局问题。从我国的地理环境、资源分布、经济的可持续性发展等方面进行了有意义的探讨。
