Web Duplicate Materials Exchange Program: The Library of Congress Takes International Exchange to the Internet

ABSTRACT

Despite demonstrated credentials, vast subject expertise, and knowledge of foreign languages and cultures, immigrants educated in schools of library and information science (LIS) in Eastern Europe (EE) and the former Soviet Union (FSU) face numerous challenges when trying to gain work as professional librarians in Canada. We introduce a model for retraining EE-and FSU-educated librarians to expedite their entry into professional librarianship in Canada without their having to undertake the formal requirements of a host-country graduate LIS degree. Taking into account and building upon their existing foreign-earned degrees, this retraining program will result in an ALA-accredited LIS degree that will allow foreign-educated immigrant librarians to compete on a level playing field with domestically educated librarians, thus eliminating discrimination based on what one labor economist calls the 'national origin of an individual's human capital.'     

外资并购中的商标战略及对策

外资并购是指外国企业通过一定的渠道和手段取得我国企业一部分或全部股份,从而对其经营管理实施控制的行为。外资在中国的并购采取的商标战略主要体现为对中国知名商标的使用进行控制、限制中方商标的进一步开发使用、独占合资企业商标的新增值、并购中国行业领军品牌等方面。我国要在加强反垄断、国家经济安全等方面的立法、健全商标评估机制、企业自身增强商标战略意识、成立民间商标自我保护组织等方面予以积极应对。     

文化差异对跨国并购绩效的影响机制研究：一个整合的理论框架

文化差异是影响跨国并购绩效最重要的因素之一。但在它对跨国并购绩效有无影响以及如何影响的问题上,研究结论很不一致。因此,需要一个整合的研究框架。为此,首先回顾了文化差异对跨国并购绩效影响机制的相关概念、类型和研究核心问题。然后,提出一个较为完整的研究框架。在此基础上,结合国内外研究者的成果,就文化差异对跨国并购绩效影响机制的前因变量和结果变量做了详细的分析。最后,指出了该领域未来的研究方向。     

企业并购战略风险因素分析及防范策略

企业并购战略风险主要源于企业在并购战略分析时的自我评估不当,以及并购战略模式选择时对并购协同效应的不确定性认识不足,因此,应构建企业并购战略模型,为企业决策者提供更有效的帮助,从根本上防范并购战略风险的发生.     

Post-acquisition integrative versus independent innovation: A story of dueling success factors

Technological acquisitions have become a popular complement to internal innovation in order to overcome the time-compression diseconomies of internal innovation. As such, acquisition success greatly depends on the expeditious leveraging of target knowledge. Confounding our understanding of leveraging target knowledge is that targets play two distinct innovative roles post-acquisition: conduct innovative activities in conjunction with acquirers (integrative innovation) and continue innovative activities independent of acquirers (independent innovation). To understand how factors differentially affect these two types of innovation, I connect two disparate concepts: relative absorptive capacity and selective intervention. I develop theory and find evidence that while relative absorptive capacity creates the communication capabilities that accelerate integrative innovation, it simultaneously deteriorates the information asymmetries between targets and acquirers leading to greater opportunities for acquirer intervention into target innovative activities that delay independent innovation.     

基于WSR的并购企业隐性知识转移影响因素研究

运用"物理—事理—人理"系统方法论研究企业并购后的隐性知识转移的机理。将影响企业并购后隐性知识转移的物理因素、事理因素、人理因素进行细分,共分出9种影响行为,分别对这9种行为进行详细分析。通过三种影响因素与隐性知识转移及并购绩效的关系,给出结论和建议。     

发展中国家企业并购发达国家企业的逆向知识转移影响因素研究

以2013年中国100大跨国公司中的30家跨国公司作为研究样本,通过多元线性回归分析我国企业并购发达国家企业过程中存在的逆向知识转移问题。实证研究表明,子公司知识的价值、母公司对知识的知觉水平、子公司所处国家的发达程度与中国企业跨国并购逆向知识转移呈显著正相关关系,社会文化距离和制度距离与中国企业跨国并购逆向知识转移呈显著负相关关系,子公司的战略重点不会影响中国企业跨国并购逆向知识转移。     

保护电子出版物的思考与建议

出版模式的演变对图书馆带来冲击 :采集无目标 ,选择无标准 ;收藏的含义变得模糊。对图书馆保存电子出版物的建议包括 :图书馆与出版者在电子出版物的收集与保存上展开合作 ;图书馆间加强合作与协调 :国家制订的呈缴本制度是保护电子出版物的支柱。参考文献 5。     

绿色并购与企业绿色创新——利益相关者支持的中介作用

向外进行绿色并购和从内进行绿色创新是中国经济转型过程中企业绿色发展的重要战略,研究发现,绿色并购能够促进绿色创新,且具有持续性,绿色并购通过获得政府、供应商和客户等利益相关者支持,从而促进绿色创新;进一步地,当企业融资约束较大、所处行业研发密集度较高时,利益相关者支持的促进效应更强。
