The heterogeneity of industry-university-institute cooperation modes and its influential factors —The micro-survey data based on Chinese strategic emerging industries Yao Xiaoying1, Wei Ping1, Li Jian2 2017, 38(8): 1-10.  Abstract ( 709 )   This paper uses the micro-survey data of the strategic emerging industry enterprises in seven provinces and cities from 2012 to 2013 and establishes the logistic regression model, in order to analyze the heterogeneity of cooperative modes and influential factors of industry-university-institute cooperation. The research results show that industry-university-institute cooperation is influenced by the enterprise's technological innovation factors, structure factors and environmental factors. Among them, technology innovation factors are most important. Considering industry-university cooperation and industry-institute cooperation respectively, we further found the differences of two cooperation models and influential factors: industry-university cooperation is positively influenced by the R&D intensity and ownership structure, while industry-institute cooperation is positively affected by the innovation performance and government tax incentives. Furthermore, the influential factors of different cooperation forms are also not identical. The form of cooperative R&D, technology transfer and advisory services are significantly influenced by technological innovation factors. Finally, we deeply analyze the main conclusion and present policy implications. Related Articles | Metrics

They cannot realize the coordination of multi-paradoxes, multi-dimensions, and multi-levels. In the face of Chinese complex business environment and the unique cultural connotation, rethinking the entrepreneurial process from the perspective of philosophy and conducting localization research are imperious demand. This paper uses multi-case study method, starts from the "heaven, earth and humanity" thinking framework, and utilizes the theory of "Yin -- Yang balance" to summarize the existing opposite logics of entrepreneurial theory and track out the entrepreneurial process models in the innovative ecological environment. Conclusion: The dynamic imbalance of innovative supply and demand is the source of entrepreneurial opportunities. Flexible knowledge resources and ethical leadership have great significance on the discovery of entrepreneurial opportunities. With the precipitation of rigid knowledge resources, start-ups need to increase innovation input and continue to deepen ethical leadership.

A study of the effect of firm internal trust and managerial innovative motivation on innovation capability Zhang Feng1, Yang Jianjun2 2017, 38(8): 44-50.  Abstract ( 643 )   Corporate governance research usually focuses on the roles of formal control and monitoring mechanisms, while little attention has been paid on the roles of informal trust mechanism within agency relationships. Compared to formal governance mechanisms, trust mechanism is viewed to be more flexible. As argued by stewardship theory, it facilitates agency relationships with long-term orientation and can induce managers’ motivation to innovation. However, scant research has examined the role of trust between large shareholders and managers in shaping managers’ innovation intentions and abilities. Therefore, this paper focuses on two dimensions of such trust, namely affect-based trust and cognition-based trust, and researches the influencing mechanisms among trust, innovative motivations, and innovative abilities. Based on 174 Chinese firm samples, we find that both types of trust have positive but different influences on managers’ innovation capability, since the effect of affect-based trust partially mediated by managers’ innovative motivation. Then, this study discusses the findings of this paper and shares some insights into future research. Related Articles | Metrics

A research on the closed-loop supply chain with sales effort under the government subsidy Li Xinran, Wang Qiqi 2017, 38(8): 51-63.  Abstract ( 668 )   In recent years, the sales of remanufacturing products became the biggest problem with the policy that government encourages recycling used products in order to promote waste resource recycling. In this paper, considering market demand is affected by the sales effort and product price, we built a closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) model with sales effort under the government subsidy. Meanwhile, we discussed the differences of CLSC with retailers’ efforts to sell remanufacturing products about optimal decisions, system members’ profits under government subsidies. The research shows that: Sales effort of retailer will increase product sales proportion and increase aggregate demand in the market. By setting up reasonable subsidies according to the sales effort of retailer, the remanufacturing products sales price decrease and other negative impacts can be solved, the closed-loop supply chain with sales effort under the government subsidy can improve the system and its members in economic benefits.

A research on the enterprise strategy to support its employee’s creative idea development from the view of intellectual property allocation Shi Qingchun， Tuo Xiaonan 2017, 38(8): 110-116.  Abstract ( 576 )   In order to analyze the corporate strategy of supporting employees to develop creative idea, our research is based on principal-agent theory and incentive theory, separating intellectual property income of creative idea from corporate residual income, studying the effects that different allocations of intellectual property of creative idea have on corporate incentive contracts by building models. We find (1) the incentive that corporate provides to employees (innovators) depends on not only internal residual of creative products, but also external residual results from intellectual property of creative idea; (2) the value of creative idea and the value erosion of creative idea which caused by franchise would influence corporate strategy of allocating intellectual property of creative idea and incentive contract. Specifically, when it comes to a creative idea that is of high economic value, if value erosion caused by franchise is small in the incentive contract, corporate rather allocate the intellectual property of creative idea for employees (innovators) to save incentive cost; if value erosion caused by franchise is relatively great, corporate prefers owning the intellectual property of creative idea to prevent franchise; if value erosion caused by franchise is extremely great, it would become more effective for corporate that transferring intellectual property to employees(innovators) and adding some punitive restricted items into the incentive contract. Our research enriches the creative idea management theory and provides strategic advices for corporate to design incentive contracts with innovators. Related Articles | Metrics

A research on the decision of recycling and remanufacturing of products with limited life-cycle Zheng Jiangbo, Yang Liu, Cheng Fuyang 2017, 38(8): 143-152.  Abstract ( 623 )   The economics of remanufacturing depends on the quantity of products returns and on the demand for products. Under the assumptions that price of product collection affects collection rate, the maximized cost-savings and the corresponding optimal price and rate were analyzed by constructing the product sales curves and recovery curves with limited life cycle. Research results show that: 1) given the limited market demand and positive correlation between collection price and collection quantity, enterprises who simply pursuit to reduce manufacturing costs may undertake greater cost; 2) the longer time the products flow in the closed-loop supply chain, the lower profits remanufacturing activities will be obtained; 3) products which have a good customer basis and can gain consumers recognition quickly has more advantages in remanufacturing activities. These conclusions provide a theoretical and method support for the enterprise remanufacturing activities in real business. Related Articles | Metrics
