Factors affecting the effectiveness of the knowledge transfer across the border:Cases of the international entrepreneurship business in China Liu Bangcheng, Wang Zhongming 2007, 28(6): 1-11.  Abstract ( 1254 )   PDF (1145KB) ( 2226 )   The knowledge transfer is an important way to acquire the strategic knowledge resource for international entrepreneurial companies. However it is very complex and difficult to transfer knowledge across the border. After reviewing relative literatures, based on an empirical study of 167 international entrepreneurial samples in China, a meta-analysis framework is provided. Results show that factors coming from the organizational level, such as the knowledge strategy and trust between parties, play the critical roles. Then from the practical perspectives, some suggestions for the international entrepreneurial entities and the policy making sectors are come out. Related Articles | Metrics

A primary analysis on the global technology chain Mao Jianqi 2007, 28(6): 85-92,107.  Abstract ( 1453 )   PDF (1746KB) ( 2239 )   With the globalization of the world economy, the industrial development is gradually extended from the domestic realm into the world arena, thus the global value chain comes into being, it is the outcome that the developed countries reorganize and consolidate the global essential elements. However, behind the global value chain there is the global technology chain where the transnational corporation groups from the developed countries integrate and utilize the intellectual resources in the world, but they grip the high end of the technology chain, keep the industrial kernel technology in their palms, update the industrial technology standards, and forge industries into barriers continuously. The global technology chain presents the chained distribution in both horizontal and vertical directions. The essence of the industry update is the updating technologies. Therefore, the analysis of the distribution of the technology chain and the path of the technology updating contributes to the successful merging of the developing nations into the global technology chain, promoting their own industrial levels, narrowing the industrial technology gap, and enhancing the industrial competitiveness.

An empirical study of the alliance management and the alliance performance Huang Jun, Li Chuanzhao, Zhang Xumei, Qiu Zhao 2007, 28(6): 98-107.  Abstract ( 1735 )   PDF (1072KB) ( 2198 )   Based on the view of dynamic capability, by using the vertical alliance between domestic antomobile manufactures and suppliers as an analysis sample, key composite factors for the alliance management and the alliance performance are proposed. The typical correlation analysis path that the alliance managtment affects the alliance performance is built. The statistical study indicates that the vertical alliance management betwee automobile manufactures and suppliers has a significant positive correlation with the alliance performance. The alliance heavily depends on the spillover effect to affect the alliance performance; and the implementation degree of the alliance goal, the satisfactory degree, and the persist degree have no obvious impact on the alliance performance. The linear formation model for alliance management composite factors mainly depends on the exchange cooperation management program, Finally, on the sasis of above study, the corresponding management practical suggtstion and academic research direction in the future are put forward.

The empirical research on the relation between the transformational leadership conductand the organizational citizenship behavior based on the organizational justice Meng Taisheng, Liu Pu, Jing Runtian 2007, 28(6): 123-129.  Abstract ( 1578 )   PDF (1200KB) ( 1902 )   The employee's organizational citizenship behavior, organizational justice, and transformational leadership behavior of 4000 employees of several enterprises in Mianyang are investigated through questionnaire and analysis of their relationship using the methods of the factor analysis and the correlation analysis. The organizational citizenship behavior is measured with the activeness dimension, organizational faithfulness, and helping dimension; the transformational leadership behavior is measured with the moral example, leadership charm, and aspiration incentive. The result shows that there is correlation relationship between employee's individual diversity and organizational citizenship behavior. The transformational leadership behavior has positive impact on the organizational citizenship behavior (activeness, organizational faithfulness, and helping behavior). The different dimensions of the organizational justice are related with those of the organizational citizenship behavior. And the relationships between the transformational leadership and organizational citizenship behavior will be partially mediated by the organizational justice. Finally, some limitations of the research are indicated and some suggestions on the future research are given. Related Articles | Metrics

On the distribution mode of the license fee for the patent pool: A circuit model Xu Minghua, Chen Jinqi 2007, 28(6): 143-148,142.  Abstract ( 1355 )   PDF (1774KB) ( 1992 )   Using the circuit principle of physics, a circuit model of patent pool is formed. In this model, each patent corresponds to an electronic element of the circuit, and the block and substitution relationship between the each patent in the pool correspond to series and parallel connections of the circuit. After analyzing the circuit principle of the circuit model, it is concluded that a distribution mode of license fee based on the proportional relation of voltage distribution for the each electronic element is a relatively perfect mode that lays stress on the quality. Then, by open reviewing the character of pools, a model of the optimal patent pool is obtained, which can balance the private benefit of the patent pools and the encouragement of the technology innovation.

Study on the "tragedy of anticommons" for the patented medicine Chen Xin, Yu Xiang 2007, 28(6): 149-153,137.  Abstract ( 1551 )   PDF (1669KB) ( 2373 )   In the "tragedy of anticommons", each of multiple owners has the right to exclude others from a resource and this lead to the underused resource, since none of the owners can use the whole resource. If the patented medicine involves multiple patents, then it is difficult to get all the licensing of these patents. There will be patented medicine's "tragedy of anticommons" since no one can implement the medicine effectively. The reasons for which the tragedy happens and the solutions for this problem are analyzed. Related Articles | Metrics
