These patents are analyzed with the method of intuitive and flexible social network graph. The joint application is divided into three dynamic stages from the angle of different geographic region since 1985. And the trends of cooperation center changed from taking Beijing as the only center to diversification including shanghai, Zhejiang and many other provinces. According to the standards for IPC, the distribution network depicts a series of high-profile co-application patents, especially in the high technology areas. And it also reveals those universities represented by Tsinghua University, Peking University and etc have co-applied for most patents since 2000. The comprehensive statistics provide new clues for both of universities and enterprises that search for collaborative partners in some specific technological area.

The relationship among emotional intelligence, conflict management, and perceived cohesion Liu Yongmei, Wei Xuhua, Chen Xiaohong 2011, 32(2): 88-96 .  Abstract ( 4712 )   PDF (977KB) ( 4925 )   Abstract： Based on a web-based survey of 286 questionnaires, the relationship of emotional intelligence, conflict management style and perceived cohesion is explored. The results of regression analysis showed that emotional intelligence was positively related to coordinating style, and negatively related to conceding style, which in turn lead to higher perceived cohesion. Especially, Regulation of Emotion (ROE) and Use of Emotion (UOE) were positively related to coordinating style; UOE and Other’s Emotion Appraisal (OEA) were negatively related to conceding style. The testing results of mediating effects showed that coordinating style fully mediated the relationship between emotional intelligence and perceived cohesion.

The regulatory cost of carbon dioxide based on environmental production technology ——Based on 28 provincial government panel data in China Wang Qunwei1, Zhou Dequn1, Ge Shilong2, Zhou Peng1 2011, 32(2): 114-121 .  Abstract ( 4376 )   PDF (1094KB) ( 3592 )   Abstract： Desirable outputs and undesirable outputs, e.g. pollutants, are both produced in the production activities. Some regulatory cost models with different environmental regulations are established based on environmental production technology. Using the panel data regarding carbon dioxide as the undesirable output in China, some results are obtained: the cost under stringent regulatory is much higher than the cost of general regulatory on the whole; some provinces, such as Liaoning and Fujian, are suitable for the stringent environmental regulation policies and some provinces, such as Gansu and Shanxi, are inclined to the policies of general environmental regulation; the regulatory cost of carbon dioxide is the negative correlatied with economic scale and the positive correlatied with carbon dioxide intensity.

Financing implement selection and financing scale: A perspective of heterogeneous beliefs Xu Feng, Liu Zhixin 2011, 32(2): 122-127 .  Abstract ( 3900 )   PDF (1591KB) ( 2938 )   Abstract: At first, the heterogeneous beliefs among investors impact on financing implement selection and financing scale in presence of Chinese constraints for selling short are discussed. Subsequently, using adjusted turnover and abnormal return volatility as two proxies, the implications of heterogeneous beliefs for financing implement selection and financing scale are empirically studied. The results indicate that: (1)The greater the heterogeneous beliefs are, the more likely the firm chooses to issue equity; (2)Heterogeneous beliefs are negatively related to the financing scale for equity issuers; (3)Heterogeneous beliefs are unrelated to financing scale for debt issuers. It shows that heterogeneous beliefs affect financing implement selection, but the relation between heterogeneous beliefs and financing scale is influenced by financing implement.

Testing for the applicability of company’s balance-sheet model for financial crisis to China: An analysis based on dynamic panel data model Xing Yong1， Tan Benyan2 2011, 32(2): 128-135 .  Abstract ( 4045 )   PDF (1081KB) ( 3508 )     Abstract: A dynamic panel data mode is established according to the financial data of 522 China’s manufacturing listed companies from 2001 to 2007, the applicability of the company’s balance-sheet model for financial crisis proposed by Krugman(1999) to China is analyzed. It turns out that under the condition of currency mismatch, the fluctuation of RMB exchange rate has significant effect on the company’s short-term credit ability but little effect on the long-run credit ability. Moreover, the effect is dynamic, and the effect caused by fluctuation of RMB exchange rate of the lag of one-year on company’s credit ability is more obvious than the effect of the same year. Thus the company’s balance-sheet model for financial crisis is applicable to China. Related Articles | Metrics

The formation mechanism of enterprise intellectual capital from social capital perspective Ren Junyi1,2 2011, 32(2): 136-144 .  Abstract ( 4283 )   PDF (1269KB) ( 3782 )     Abstract: The enterprise intellectual capital in 1990’s is the latest theory about enterprise competitive sources. Nahapiet and Ghoshal proposed the formation mechanism of intellectual capital from the perspective of enterprise social capital, however, there is no verification that has been done by scholars. Here, a theory framework is refined to research on enterprise intellectual capital formation mechanism from social capital perspective, which will further boost the enterprise performance. An empirical study is made based on statistic data of enterprises in China. The results show that the model assumptions are partly confirmed, and some conclusions and assumptions are totally opposite. These conclusions are relevant to the attitudes of the Chinese in transition economy period and lack of communication, trust and shared vision of Chinese enterprises. Related Articles | Metrics

The efficiency of science and technology resource allocation in Jiangsu Province based on an improved DEA model Guan Yan, Wu Hecheng, Huang Shun 2011, 32(2): 145-150 .  Abstract ( 4082 )   PDF (919KB) ( 3686 )     Abstract: In the research of regional science and technology resource allocation, many articles select the indicators qualitatively. However, there mustbe many subjective factors in these qualitative methods. Therefore, an evaluation index is constructed by the method of correlation analysis. Considering output is lagging behind input in the field ofscience and technology, and the lag reflected the following years instead of one particular year after the resource investment has made. On the basis of this, the classic DEA model is improved, and then the efficiency of science and technology resource allocation in Jiangsu Province is analyzed. The result shows that the allocationisinvalid in vast majority cities of Jiangsu Province. At last, the reasons is analyzed and some countermeasures are put forward. Related Articles | Metrics
