The strategic value of data resources in emergent industries

In this paper we examine the strategic role of data resources in emergent industries. We contrast the resource-based view and the relational view theories to examine how data resources can help organizations create and capture value. We compare two organizations from two different industries to understand how different types of data resources can provide a competitive advantage. We also examine the role of strategic partnerships in capturing value created through the exploitation of data resources. We conclude that while data often serve as a required resource for entry into new markets, strategic partnerships play a critical role in capturing value created through the exploitation of data resources. The emergent partnership structures are remarkably similar across the two organizations. They target rapid market expansion through encapsulation of data resources within highly scalable web services and the use of standardized legal contracts. We also find that temporal decoupling between value creation and value capture can expose firms to the erosion of the competitive advantage gained through investment in data resources.     

Patriotism Education in School Education in the New Era and its Impact on Students＇ View of Values

爱国主义教育是思想政治教育的重要内容,是引导青少年树立正确理想、信念、人生观、价值观一项重要工作。我国正处于社会转型期,爱国主义教育面临的新环境,学校进行爱国主义活动对学生树立正确价值观的具有重要的影响和意义。     

对高等职业教育质量的再认识

高等职业教育质量观随着高等教育大众化进程的推进正在发生着深刻的变化,由注重满足社会需求转移到同时满足人的全面发展上来了。高等职业教育质量观更多地倾向于特色化质量观、适应性质量观、发展性质量观等多元化质量观,在树立这一多元化质量观的过程中,如何采取具体有效的行动促进高职教育内涵发展将是今后一段时间内面临的更为重要和艰巨的课题,政府、社会、学校、学生必须积极承担起各自新的行动职责和任务,从外控走向内控的高职教育质量管理体系的(内部监督与评估系统)建立,是推进高职院校内部教育质量稳步提升的重要手段。     

解读现代远程教育招生

近几年来,全国共有经教育部批准的68家名校共同参与现代远程教育这个蛋糕的分享,为我国高校的毛入学率提升作出一定的贡献,同时也使自己学校的两个效益得到双赢。为了做大做强这个蛋糕,各名校使出浑身解数,力图跨越做大蛋糕的第一道坎———招生,企求更大的规模赢得更大的两个效益。笔者从事现代远程教育管理已有些年头,想给“招生”平添一个“自以为是”的注释。企望与同行共同托起中国高教事业的第二个太阳。     

从体育领域反观社会主义道德教育

社会主义道德教育是当今时代构建和谐社会的重要精神内核,在当前的时代背景和文化语境下具有十分重要的意义。问题在于,社会中的每个个体该如何身体力行地将社会主义道德观念自觉自愿实现在社会生活之中,即道德的客观要求与个体的主观行为的统一性。道德要求到底该以何种途径何种方式转化成为主体的自觉追求,笔者认为在体育领域中蕴涵着一条使道德教育内化为主体心性,从而外显为社会行为的道路。将社会主义道德教育的内在精髓身体力行于生活实践当中,实现社会主义道德历程的更新与完善。     

重新审视"声符"——宋元"右文说"的起始与发展

宋元学者的词源学研究是从"右文"研究开始的,最早的研究者是王圣美。张世南、王观国等进一步申说了王圣美的学说。宋代郑樵提出了形声字演变中的"母子衍生说"。宋末元初戴侗的词源研究具有开拓意义,从形声字声符入手,梳理初文和孳生字之间的关系,系联了不少同声符的形声字,他所做的工作实际上就是同源词的系联工作。戴侗词源研究的另一个特点是从声音上贯通古今雅俗词语,寻找它们之间音义上的联系。系统总结宋元时期的词源学研究,对今天探讨这一问题有十分重要的意义。

“They were the ones that saw me and listened.” From child sexual abuse to disclosure: Adults’ recalls of the process towards final disclosure

BackgroundWhen child sexual abuse (CSA) is not disclosed, children run the risk of being subjected to longer or repeated abuse, not receiving necessary treatment, and being re-victimized.ObjectiveThis study examines what adults exposed to child sexual abuse in hindsight evaluate as important for disclosure. The aim was to explore exposed own experiences of steps towards final disclosure.Participants and settingData were obtained from adult users of Norwegian Sexual Abuse Support Centers. Included were users exposed to CSA before the age of 18 (N=23).MethodsData were collected through anonymous questionnaires at each support center. The material was transcribed and analyzed in the tradition of Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis.ResultsThe study illustrates a process towards disclosure as a dialogically anchored process evolving over time and along life-course inside encounters with important others towards whom the exposed pays attention, attunement, and adjustment whether to tell, delay, re-try, turn towards others, or actually disclose. Their experiences elucidate processes towards exploring and telling through direct and indirect hints and signs, decisions to tell, re-decisions and delaying, or withholding until adulthood, and the dependency on trusted confidants who ask and listen for final disclosure to occur.ConclusionThus, the present study sends an important message to exposed, confidants, and professionals when questions of CSA appear. That is to know of, facilitate, trust, and tolerate the dialogical dependency on being asked and heard by trusted persons and the many steps a process towards disclosure of CSA may entail in order to succeed.     

The link between information processing capability and competitive advantage mediated through decision-making effectiveness

While research underpinned by the resource-based view (RBV) appears to suggest that IT-enabled capabilities are positively linked to competitive advantage, such a link is often seen as a black box as the processes through which competitive advantage can be gained appears unclear. In particular, research appears to suggest that information processing capability is linked to decision-making effectiveness and competitive advantage; however, little research appears to examine the interrelationship among them. This study, drawing on the RBV, develops a mediation model to examine the link between competitive advantage and the key tenets of value, rarity, inimitability and non-substitutability of information processing capability in the context of business analytics; and whether this link is mediated through decision-making effectiveness. Based on data collected from 633 UK companies, this study shows that there is a positive link between the value, rarity and inimitability characteristics of information processing capability and competitive advantage, which is partially mediated by decision-making effectiveness. The findings contribute to the theoretical development of the RBV by developing a mediation model that looks inside the black box. They also contribute to managers’ knowledge and understanding of the mechanism through which the strategic value of information processing capability can be maximized.
