Although this phenomenon is well established in pluralist democracies, it is an important factor in the process of democratization in some developing economies and a panacea for enduring Industrial Relations （IR） in many transformational economies. This paper contributes to this issue in Nigeria （as an example of a transformation economy） by focusing on the industrial relations characteristics that are being developed in the country. These characteristics are being highlighted by further investigating the emerging contextual issues which have significant contribution to the effectiveness of industrial relations and thus raising the floor for employee rights/voice/democracy in the work environment. Furthermore, the paper is based on the analysis from 12 companies with well-established IR practices and who are also key players in the Nigeria Employers＇ Consultative Association （NECA）. The evidence from the empirical findings suggests that despite globalization, employee rights have specific country orientation （acquiring new contours） and thus reflecting the socio-economic and cultural predisposition which is common with many transformation economies.展开更多

Industrial structure is being updated, and technology is playing a more andmore important role in economic development. The energy and resource consumption in many industries and enterprisesare reducing. However, we should realize that there are still many problems in changing the economic growth pattern,such as high input, high consumption, high discharge, inharmony, recycling difficulty, and low efficiency, which havegreatly impaired and restrict Chinese economic development. Therefore, the fundamental change of the economic growthpattern is inevitable. Based on the analysis on the status quo and the exploit of resources, this paper suggests that thetransformation from unsustainable to sustainable growth is the only choice in changing the economic growth pattern. Inaddition, the transformation should not completely rely on the fundamental effects of market mechanism.

The Center for Regional Agricultural and Rural Development, part of the Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was established in 2005. The Center has laid solid foundations for integrating research in the areas of agricultural geography and rural development in China over the past decade. The paper aims to review the major achievements in rural geographical research in China during the past decade, analyze innovative developments in relevant theories and methods, and suggest prospects and countermeasures for promoting comprehensive studies of urban-rural transformation and rural geography. The research shows that innovative achievements have been made in rural geography studies of China in the past decade as major national policy development, outputs of result and decision making support; new breakthroughs have been achieved in such major research projects as geographical integrated theory, land remediation projects and technology demonstration projects, new urbanization and urban-rural integration; significant progress has been made in actively expanding the frontiers of rural geography and pushing forward theoretical innovations in land and resource projects; and, with China＇s development goals of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and achieving modernization in mind, future innovative developments in agricultural and rural geography should aim to make research more strategic, systematic, scientific and security-oriented, with attention given to promoting systematic scientific research on international cooperation and global rural geography.展开更多

The high-speed growth of the economy not only led China to a period of industrialization, urbanization, informatization and agricultural modernization, but also exacerbated the situation of the urban–rural dual structure. Based on the review of current studies, we first used the analytic hierarchy process（AHP） method to evaluate the urban–rural development and transformation level by population transformation index, land transformation index, industrial transformation index and social transformation index between 1996 and 2012 around the Bohai Rim Region. Then, based on the results of each index, we used the exploratory spatial data analysis（ESDA） method to investigate the spatial autocorrelation of the change in the urban–rural development transformation index during the 16-year period using Global Moran＇s I index and Local Moran＇s I index. Finally, we investigated the mechanism of change of the urban–rural development transformation index at county level, summarizing five main factors：（1） the radiation from the surrounding big cities,（2） the acceleration of the urbanization process,（3） the upgrading of the industrial structure,（4） the publishing and implementation of a macro development strategy and regional policy, and（5） natural factors such as topology.展开更多

The paradox of China＇s ＂double surplus＂ in the international balance of payments reflects the substantive issue of the appearance of a capability gap in Chinese economic development, which, interacting with dependence on FDI, hinders industry upgrading. As a result, the extensive mode of development has persisted and even worsened, rendering the Chinese economy more vulnerable to external shocks. At the historic juncture when the international economic environment is undergoing dramatic changes, the Chinese economy is likely to suffer severe setbacks due to its capability gap and dependence on FDI unless there is substantial development in its technological and organizational capacities and institution-building. Therefore, the critical variable in transforming the Chinese mode of economic development is capability growth.展开更多

The main findings indicate that the net worth of China＇s sovereign assets had been positive and increasing during the period under review. This implies that the Chinese government has sufficient sovereign assets to cover its sovereign liabilities, therefore the likelihood of a sovereign debt crisis in China is extremely low in the near term. Moreover, although China＇s leverage ratio （total liabilities/GDP） is far lower compared to advanced economies, it seems higher than that of other major emerging economies such as Brazil, Russia, and India （BRIC）. In fact, the leverage ratio has been increasing rapidly over recent years and requires special attention. In particular, according to sector-specific analysis, high corporate liability ratios （percentage to GDP） constitute a major concern of China＇s national balance sheet. In 2010, this liability ratio exceeded l OO percent, which exceeds the 90 percent level observed in OECD countries. Lastly, this paper concludes that a sustainable economic growth and structural transformation of growth model are the fundamental means to taming China＇s balance sheet risks.展开更多

In particular, according to sector-specific analysis, high corporate liability ratios （percentage to GDP） constitute a major concern of China＇s national balance sheet. In 2010, this liability ratio exceeded l OO percent, which exceeds the 90 percent level observed in OECD countries. Lastly, this paper concludes that a sustainable economic growth and structural transformation of growth model are the fundamental means to taming China＇s balance sheet risks.

文摘Extant research mostly focuses on the impact of big data on product development(PD)process and performance,and yet there is a lack of theoretical exploration of the transformation path,realization mechanism and transformation paradigm while moving from experience-based PD(EBPD)to data-driven PD(DDPD).This paper,from the integrated perspective of adaptive change and organizational routines,and based on an in-depth case study of HSTYLE,proposes a two-stage transformation model for moving from EBPD to DDPD,dissects the adaptive change mechanism of organizational routines for DDPD,puts forward a theoretical model for the transformation paradigm for DDPD,and provides an innovative interpretation of the connotation of data-driven.This paper constructs a theory for DDPD transformation that comprises three aspects:transformation path,realization mechanism and transformation paradigm.Conclusions of this paper have policy implications for enterprises in their practice on data-driven product innovation in the digital economy era.

文摘The industrial civilization has played an irreplaceable role in the evolution of human civilization,but it is dispelled by the serious ecological problems it has brought about.Thus,the prosperous industrial civilization cannot develop sustainably because of the loss of the solid natural ecological foundation.From the perspective of ecological economics,its whole process shows obvious non-ecological appearances,which are the sharpness of the basic contradiction of the ecological economic system,the predatoriness of the ecological economic structure and the inevitability of the ecological crisis.These non-ecological appearances reflect the objective factual state of separation and opposition between the economic system and the ecological system in the process of the industrial civilization development.Only by transforming the industrial civilization into the ecological civilization can human civilization evolve sustainably.
