Heterogeneous complementarity and technological innovation ofJapanese firms in the globalization Zhang Huayao, Shi Xiaokun 2011, 32(7): 9-17.  Abstract ( 1789 )   PDF (917KB) ( 2883 )   Japanese firms have been showing different characteristics in the innovation globalization. The patents of Japanese firms are analyzed to show whether or not they are performing the international wisdom of heterogeneous complementarity in the innovation. Patents from the database of OECD triadic patent families of five Japanese firms and two benchmark American firms in addition to all patent families within area H (Electrics) are analyzed. The results show that although Japanese firms have stronger centralization tendency comparing with their America rivals in innovation, in term of application of resources seeking and capability complementary strategies, Japanese firms stand the same position with their American counterparts. The meaning is that Chinese firms should be paid much attention not only to the backword status of Japanese firms in the innovation globalization, but also to their enterprise innovative strategy in the changing trends.

The impact mechanism of consumers' cultural differences on innovation diffusion Chen Kun 2011, 32(7): 67-75.  Abstract ( 2114 )   PDF (1205KB) ( 2664 )   The forecast of Bass model parameters and innovation diffusion curve remains unanswered based on extant research. Cultural differences of different locations might lead to the fluctuation of Bass model parameters. Therefore, the hypotheses that individualism, uncertainty avoidance, power distance, and masculinity have substantial impacts on Bass model parameters and manipulate the shape of innovation curve are presented. These hypotheses are validated by measuring the consumers' cultural differences of Chengdu City and Chongqing City, and by estimating the diffusion parameters of mobile phones, soft drinks, and economical cars in there two cities. These results indicate that firms should adjust their marketing strategies according to local cultural differences when initiating new products in the market. References | Related Articles | Metrics

The spillover effects of service industry FDI with the viewpoint of technical efficiency He Feng 2011, 32(7): 96-103,121.  Abstract ( 1886 )   PDF (925KB) ( 2336 )   From the viewpoint of technical efficiency, the stochastic frontier model and the cross-province panel data in the year from 2001 to 2007 are utilized to study the spillover effect of Service Foreign Direct Investment (SFDI) in Chinese mainland. The empirical estimations not only show that average technical efficiency in the central and western region is significantly lower than that in eastern coastal regions, but also find that a significant inverse U-shape effect between technical efficiency of service industry and SFDI exists. Because the central and western region's service industry absorb few FDI and have very low technical efficiency, continuous absorbing SFDI is an available and positive way for central and western regions to improve technical efficiency of service industry. However for the technical efficiency in eastern coastal regions, the level of absorbed SFDI is beyond the optimal value in the "inverse U shape", therefore the reasonable path for improving technical efficiency in eastern coastal regions should focus on other factors rather than increasing level of SFDI.

The verification of hypothesis about environmental Kuznets Curve based on different regions in China Wang Qian, Gao Jun 2011, 32(7): 157-164.  Abstract ( 1860 )   PDF (890KB) ( 3073 )   The regional economic development in China is unbalance, which leads to the difference of Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC). The hypothesis of EKC is verified by adopting the panel data of industrial wastewater emissions, industrial gas waste emissions, and industrial solid waste emissions from 30 provinces and autonomous regions during the period of 1998 to 2008. The findings indicate that the hypothesis of EKC only exists in eastern region of China, where the indicators of "industrial three wastes" have an inverted "U" shape relationship with the per capita income. The hypothesis of EKC does not exist in Middle West region of China, where the indicators of "industrial three wastes" have a "U" shape or linear relationship with the per capita income. Furthermore, from the point of view of regression results, the development speed of environment pollution in central and western area of China is faster than that in eastern region of China. The environment pollutions in eastern region of China have been improved due to Foreign Direct Investment(FDI) inflow, however there is no such an obvious sign in the Middle West region of China.
