The reasons why the R&D input of high technology industry in China is low from the perspective of FDI XIE Zi-Yuan, ZHANG Hao-Fei, WANG Jia, WU Ying, WANG Min-Jie, ZHANG Hai-Bo 2017, 38(11): 1-9.  Abstract ( 698 )    This paper explains the reasons why the R&D input of high technology industry in China is at such a low level in the perspective of FDI. It finds that the ratio of FDI to high technology industry is very high, and that the R&D input of FDI is distinctly lower than that of domestic enterprises, and this surely decreases the whole level of R&D input of high technology industry. The further study shows that R&D input of FDI has an evident regularity, i.e., FDI with a higher technology level and bigger technology superiority to domestic enterprises has a lower R&D input level. The conclusion of the paper suggests that it is proper strategy in the development of high technology industry in China to decrease the over dependency on FDI, to put forth effort to foster domestic high technology enterprises, and to strategically introduce FDI. Related Articles | Metrics

A Model of Conflict Dynamics of Wikipedia Editing Luo Shuangling, Ma Pei, Wang Ruixin, Xia Haoxiang 2017, 38(11): 18-26.  Abstract ( 603 )   The underlying mechanisms for the conflict and coordination in Wikipedia editing have attracted enormous research attention. Researches on this topic are of potential value for improving coordination in social innovation or innovation 2.0 projects. In this work, a variant of T?r?k et al.’s bounded-confidence-based model of conflict dynamics in the collective editing of Wikipedia articles is proposed, based on the hypothesis that the contingent-activation of zealots with extremist opinions is substitutable to the renewal of agents in generating controversies. The numerical simulations show that the transitions between the three regimes of “single conflict”, “plateaus of consensus”, and “uninterrupted controversy” can be reproduced by the proposed model. What’s more, richer dynamics are shown in the proposed model. This work provides an alternative explanation for the underlying mechanisms of the observed conflict modes; and it sheds some lights on studying the coordination of opinion conflicts in social innovation projects.

A case study of the promoting strategies for innovation contest within a company Zhong Jing, Guan Jianshi, Luo Jinlian, Tang Yao 2017, 38(11): 57-65.  Abstract ( 754 )   Innovation contest has become a practice adopted by many companies to collect new ideas. How to stimulate participation so as to generate numerous ideas of high quality is the key to the success of innovation contest. Using embedded case study method, we analyze and compare the promoting strategies of two units within R&D center of Volvo Car China for an annual innovation contest. It is found that multilevel factors, including contest routine, power base of innovation champions, perception of the importance of contest, knowledge base of members, influenced the champions’ leadership and the ways of idea generation. We find that both units with different promoting strategies successfully completed the task of innovation contest. One unit applied opening inspiration strategy by combining participative leadership and mutli-round brainstorming of interactive group, while the other unit adopted closing convergence strategy by combining directive leadership and brainstorming of nominal groups. The former generated relaxed innovative climate, whereas the latter reinforced competition and efficiency culture. Both units might face different challenges in the long run.

Influence of leader forgiveness on employee voice behavior Zhang Yajun， Zhang Junwei， Liu Shan 2017, 38(11): 66-74.  Abstract ( 631 )   Drawing on social cognitive theory, this study extended extant research by developing a moderated mediation model linking leader forgiveness to employee voice behavior that included voice efficacy as a mediator and perception of perceived organizational support (POS) as a moderator. We examined the hypotheses proposed with matched field data collected from 58 department supervisors and 290 employees. The results of the hierarchical linear modeling revealed that leader forgiveness was positively associated with employee voice behavior. Furthermore, voice efficacy mediated the positive relation of leader forgiveness with employee voice behavior. Moreover, POS moderated the positive relationship between voice efficacy and employee voice behavior, such that the relationship was stronger for employees with high POS than for employees with low POS. Finally, the results of multilevel moderated mediation analysis showed that POS moderated the mediating effect of voice efficacy on the relationship between leader forgiveness and employee voice behavior. This mediating effect was strong when POS was high. Related Articles | Metrics

A comparative study on the characteristics of technological diversity in patents between Chinese universities and American universities Hu Xiaojun, Zhang Yuning 2017, 38(11): 75-81.  Abstract ( 518 )   It is reported that the number of patents of Chinese universities ranks the first place at international level in recent years, and the US is the second one for that, hence, it is interesting to observe the differences between Chinese universities and American universities in patent characteristics of technological diversity. In this study, the technological diversity indices of patents in eight industries and their differences in the recent decade between universities of two countries are deeply analyzed, based on a large-scale data of patent records included in the database of Derwent Innovation Index. The results show that the field of medicine and health is the most active in all technological classes, and with similar number of patents between USA and China. Excepting for the industry of mechanic engineering, the diversity indices of Chinese universities in other seven industries are higher than that of American, yet, the relative share of patents of the US universities for human necessities industry is much higher than that of China, moreover, US universities show a trend of technological concentration in the industry of human necessities. The main conclusions of this investigation suggest that although the diversity indices of Chinese universities at industrial level are higher than that of US universities, it does not reflect the same story at the patent level. Moreover, it also suggested that there exist some limitations of the diversity index, one should take a multi-layered picture to exactly illustrate the function of this index.

Scientific research audit and supervision: Organic boundary activities in science and politics Han Laiping, Li Rong, Zhang Meng 2017, 38(11): 88-94.  Abstract ( 503 )   In the context of science professionalism, a social contractual relationship characterized by principal-agent form has been generated between politics and science. And in this relationship, truth seeking and efficiency of science are the basic requirements. Because of the information asymmetry between politics and science, the adverse selection of political subjects and the moral hazard of research are caused, damaging the truth seeking and efficiency of science. Therefore, it is inevitable that audit and supervision of research should become a necessary way to maintain a reasonable social contractual relationship. However, there are some difficulties in the practice of audit and supervision. In order to dispel these difficulties,we have to go deep into the various social relationships where“exchange” can take place based on the analytical methods of contractual relationship. By doing so, we can re-recognize the science-society contract. Thus, we can become clear of the main stakeholders of contractual relationship. Analysis based on the theory of organic boundary in this thesis believes that research audit agency should be a platform on which stakeholders of contractual relationship can cooperate with each other to investigate the truth seeking and efficiency of science research. Meanwhile, the thesis also believes that audit and supervision of science research should be an organic boundary activity between science and politics. Related Articles | Metrics

Does margin trading stabilize the volatility of China’s stock market? Lin Binghua, Huang Xiaoqin 2017, 38(11): 147-160.  Abstract ( 583 )   The margin trading mechanism which has the characteristics of short selling and leverage has been running for more than five years in our country. Did margin trading increase or decrease the stock market volatility? Scholars has yet to produce a consistent conclusion on this issue. In empirical, we researched the influences of margin trading on the volatility of CSI 300 Index by GARCH and VAR model, impulse response function and variance decomposition. The results showed that: the margin trading smooth the volatility of the stock market in our country and this inhibition strengthened gradually with the underlying shares expansion. But in a clear trend market (up or down), margin trading had further increased the volatility of the stock market. On individual effect, margin purchase and short sale both have reduced the volatility of the stock market, but this inhibition is more significant in margin purchase. In comparison, stock index futures increase the volatility of the spot market, but the effect was smaller than margin trading. Related Articles | Metrics
