The governance structure of corporations and sales performancein the context of shrinking economy Liu Shilan 2013, 34(1): 116-123.  Abstract ( 1957 )   PDF (933KB) ( 2852 )   Many scholars at home and aboard conduct large amount of researches on the relationship between corporation governance and firm performance; however, the research involving the relationship between corporation governance and sales performance is rather rare. The whole sales performance is regarded as a multi-dimension construct, including profit rate of sales, growth rate of sales, and the rate of expenses to sales. The effects of governance structures on the whole sales performance are empirically studied using data from listed IT industry during the economic crisis period. Some new conclusions are found as follows: firstly, the general manager who is concurrently held by the chairman of the board is positively related to the whole sales performance, profit rate of sales, and growth rate of sales. Secondly, the ratio of holding stock by large stakeholders is negatively related to the rate of expenses to sales. The above conclusions disclose that the market is able to automatically moderate the conflicts between the board of directors and managers in the context of the shrinking economies, and it provides the enlightment for the IT companies to improve internal governance of corporations.

The model and empirical analysis of knowledge spillover effects in hi-tech industry clusters Huang Zhiqi 2013, 34(1): 154-162.  Abstract ( 1961 )   PDF (1115KB) ( 3092 )   Knowledge spillover is a prominent phenomenon of hi-tech industrial clusters. From the perspective of spin-off companies, a data model, which mainly includes key elements, such as knowledge spillover, knowledge loss, R&D, and knowledge acquisition, is built to carry out a dynamic analysis. Based on the dynamic panel data model, an empirical analysis is conducted to analyze the effect and difference between R&D and knowledge spillover by using the estimation method of System GMM. The result of the analysis shows that although R&D exerts a remarkable regional difference and time delay effect on the innovation ability of industrial cluster, and a negative effect of knowledge spillovers i.e. corporate knowledge loss will appear in the hi-tech industry cluster within the short term; if enterprises continue to increase their investment in R&D, the accumulative effect of knowledge spillover will arise, there would be a long term effect of knowledge spillover, that is, the total amount of knowledge will increase inside the cluster, and each enterprise is able to have the opportunity to get and utilize more external knowledge, thus a virtuous circle of knowledge generation and upgrade will be formed in the hi-tech industrial cluster.
