Promoting Traditional Enterprise Management Innovation Through Informatization

This study explores the benefits and challenges of traditional enterprises in China in adopting informatization. The findings reveal that traditional enterprises face a variety of challenges, including resistance to change, lack of digital skills, outdated IT infrastructure, and limited government funding. However, informatization has led to significant improvements in product and service quality, productivity, cost savings, and innovation for the respondent enterprises. Strategies to overcome these challenges include developing a change management program, establishing a dedicated committee for budget allocation, fostering a culture of collaboration and communication among stakeholders, conducting a thorough assessment of current systems, developing a talent management strategy, collaborating with industry associations and government agencies, building a network of regulatory experts, and developing a proactive approach to engagement with regulatory agencies. Leadership commitment and financial resources are critical to the success of informatization initiatives. Technological infrastructure is crucial for information security and reliability. Government policies have mixed views on their impact on digital transformation efforts. Recommendations include addressing resistance to change, developing digital skills, overcoming hierarchical structures, communicating benefits, investing in technology, improving technological infrastructure, enhancing cybersecurity measures, and advocating for supportive policies.

Medicare Advantage Under Fire: Public Criticism and Implications.

Congressional hearings and public reports have drawn attention to problems afflicting Medicare Advantage (MA), the privatized version of Medicare. Private plans became a staple of Medicare through the passage of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 (TEFRA). Congress passed this law during a furor of privatization, when think tanks and powerful financial interests emphasized the power of corporations' profit incentive to improve the efficiency and quality of social enterprise. Yet the surging criticism of MA suggests a misalignment between the financial interest of some MA plans and the well-being of their patient populations. The criticisms range from deceptive marketing, ghost networks, and patient cherry-picking to unethical prior authorization denials and defrauding the government. In total, MA plans cost the federal government 22% more per patient than if these patients in question were enrolled in traditional Medicare. Moreover, it is not clear that this additional funding is producing proportional benefits. These developments raise questions about the presence of a profit incentive in Medicare, and perhaps health care more broadly.

Cities’ labor administrative penalties and labor income share of enterprises

The labor administrative penalties of a city are enforced by the city's labor security administrative department for any breaches of labor security laws, regulations, or norms. The severity of labor administrative penalties differs across cities; thus, this study aims to determine how a city's penalties affect the labor income share of enterprises. We conduct a practical investigation to examine the influence of labor administrative penalties imposed by cities on the internal income distribution structure of firms. This study utilizes theoretical analysis and data on labor administrative penalties in Chinese cities, as well as samples of A-share listed businesses in Shanghai and Shenzhen. From the perspective of the internal income distribution structure, we examine the labor income share of firms and discover that labor administrative penalties in cities significantly raise the labor income share of these enterprises. The share of labor income of enterprises registered in the city increases by 0.9707 % for each additional unit of cities' labor administrative penalties (i.e., for a one-time labor administrative penalty per 10,000 people). The conclusion remains valid even after excluding the endogeneity and robustness tests. Regional labor administrative penalties can enhance the internal management of enterprise quality by promoting transparency and deterring non-compliance. This, in turn, mitigates credit risk for enterprises by fostering stable labor relations. Enhancing the quality of internal control and mitigating credit risk can lead to an increase in the labor income share of firms. An analysis of heterogeneity shows that the impact of labor administrative penalties in cities on increasing the percentage of labor income varies. The impact is more pronounced for state-owned firms and enterprises with low levels of investment.

ESG performance and corporate technology innovation: Evidence from China

With the concept of sustainable development and innovation-driven development strategy proposed in China, as well as the promotion of the concept of ESG, which takes into account both economic and social benefits, it is of great theoretical and practical significance to study how ESG empowers both internal management and external investors, and ultimately enhances corporate technological innovation (CTI). This paper takes Chinese A-share listed companies from 2010 to 2021 as the research object, and tries to study the impact of ESG performance on CTI and its mechanism based on the perspective of innovation process. It is found that: (1) ESG performance can effectively promote the intensity of R&D investment, innovation output and quality of enterprises, and this conclusion still holds after a series of robustness tests. (2) The innovation incentive effect of ESG performance is more obvious in enterprises in traditional industries, manufacturing industries and heavy pollution industries; (3) ESG performance mainly affects CTI through alleviating enterprise financing constraints, improving enterprise market expectations and gathering high-end research talents. The above findings have important implications for optimizing corporate ESG disclosure mechanisms and promoting CTI through process optimization.

This article will analyze the incentive effect of the value-added tax rate reduction policy on enterprise innovation from the perspective of enterprise quality management. The research results indicate that: (1) the reduction of value-added tax rate has an incentive effect on the innovation activities of enterprises; (2) There is a positive moderating effect of enterprise quality management on the reduction of value-added tax rate and the innovation and research and development activities of enterprises; (3) The reduction of value-added tax rate has a more significant incentive effect on innovation in the eastern region of China, state-owned enterprises, and relatively larger enterprises.

A Study on the Recent Trends of Entrepreneurship in Exports

The determinants of participation in international business is a well- researched area with in both economics and business management disciplines. Such studies have largely highlighted factors external to the firm. A few enquiries in the small and medium sector have looked person- specific factors as explaining the difference in behavior between exporters and non-exporters. Taking off from these two streams, this paper delves deep into the exporting behavior of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in two specific sectors after considering the dimensions of entrepreneur, enterprise and environment. Entrepreneurship is the sustainable driving force and stable source of economic development, and it is an important guarantee for the continuous improvement of export product quality and high-quality economic development. This paper selects entrepreneurship and export product quality as research objects. It measures the export product quality at the enterprise level using data from the China Industrial Enterprise Database and the China Customs Import and Export Trade Database. Furthermore, based on matching entrepreneurship at the macro-level and the export product quality at the micro-level, the impact and mechanism of entrepreneurship on the export product quality are empirically examined. It was found that entrepreneurial innovation and entrepreneurship further significantly contribute to the improvement of export product quality by promoting the total factor productivity of enterprises. Entrepreneurial innovation and entrepreneurship do not significantly contribute to the export product quality of state-owned and collective enterprises, while they significantly contribute to privately-owned, independent legal entities, Hong Kong–Macao–Taiwan, and foreign-funded enterprises. Furthermore, the promoting effect on privately-owned and independent enterprises is greater than that on Hong Kong–Macao–Taiwan and foreign-funded enterprises. Further analysis shows that improving the rule of law, reducing excessive government intervention, and improving the market mechanism for products and production factors, as well as vigorously developing the non-state-owned economy, will all be conducive to the cultivation and development of entrepreneurs and better promotion of the improvement of export product quality.

How perceived transparency in information system development processes improves project quality in agile IT enterprises

PurposeWith the increasing agility of IT enterprises, it is crucial to identify suitable managerial strategies for controlling information system development (ISD) projects in the new agile working environments. These environments are characterized by the collaborative nature of work and the recurring nature of communication. This study aims to explore how perceived transparency in ISD processes, controlled by transparency strategies, impacts project quality.Design/methodology/approachIn collaboration with a firm that implemented a customized Scaled Agile Framework, questionnaires were distributed to employees involved in ISD projects. The goal was to understand the influence of perceived transparency in ISD processes on project quality.FindingsOur research demonstrates that perceived transparency in ISD processes enhances project quality through knowledge exchange by strengthening goodwill trust among team members. Additionally, transparency improves project quality through client feedback by strengthening competence trust of clients toward the team. Goodwill trust of clients toward the team and competence trust among team members have less impact on project quality enhancement.Originality/valueThis study reveals the nomological network among the perceived transparency, different types of trust among stakeholders, social interactions among stakeholders, and project outcomes in agile ISD environments. This nomological network has been overlooked by previous studies that biased toward top-down, interorganizational communication. It highlights that not all types of trust among stakeholders are involved in the processes through which perceived transparency influences ISD project quality in agile working environments. Additionally, it exposes the limitations of transparency strategies for controlling projects in agile IT enterprises.

Evaluation of innovation efficiency of high-tech enterprise based on DEA and Malmquist index under the background of sustainable development

Purpose This paper aims to promote the higher quality development of high-tech enterprises in China. While science and technology have greatly promoted human civilization, resources have been excessively consumed and the environment has been sharply polluted. Therefore, it is particularly important for current enterprises to make use of scientific and technological innovation to maximize the benefits of mankind, minimize the loss of nature, and promote the sustainable development of our country. Design/methodology/approach By using DEA-Banker-Charnes-Cooper (BCC) model and DEA-Malmquist model, this paper comprehensively examines the innovation efficiency of high-tech enterprises from both static and dynamic perspectives, and conducts a provincial comparative study with the panel data of ten representative provinces from 2011 to 2020. Findings The research findings are as follows: the rapid number increase of high-tech enterprises in most provinces (cities) is accompanied by an ineffective input–output efficiency; the quality of high-tech enterprises needs to comprehensively examine both input–output efficiency and total factor productivity; and there is not a positive correlation between element investment and innovation performance. Research limitations/implications Because the DEA model used in this paper assumes that the improvement direction of invalid units is to ensure that the input ratio of various production factors remains unchanged but sometimes the proportion of scientific and technological activities personnel and the total research and development investment is not constant. In the future, the nonradial DEA model can be considered for further research. Due to historical data statistics, more provinces, cities and longer panel data are difficult to obtain. The samples studied in this paper mainly refer to the provinces and cities that ranked first in the number of national high-tech enterprises in 2020. Limited by the number of samples, DEA analysis failed to select more input and output indicators. In the future, with the accumulation of statistical data, the existing efficiency analysis will be further optimized. Originality/value Aiming at the misunderstanding of emphasizing quantity and neglecting quality in the cultivation of high-tech enterprises, this paper comprehensively uses DEA-BCC model and DEA Malmquist index decomposition method to make a comprehensive comparative study on the development of high-tech enterprises in ten representative provinces (cities) from two aspects of static efficiency evaluation and dynamic efficiency evaluation.

Analysis of the impact of managers' psychological deviation on information disclosure and irrational overseas investment after IFRS convergence

Based on a sample of 6485 firms listed on the Chinese Shanghai and Shenzhen A-shares between 2017 and 2021, the effect of managers' psychological deviation on irrational investment is empirically tested. The higher the managers’ confidence, the lower the investment efficiency. The level of irrational investment in listed companies increases with the degree of managers’ risk appetite. The improvement of disclosure quality of enterprises after IFRS convergence in China can weaken irrational investment triggered by managers' overconfidence. The information disclosure quality by companies can manage the irrational investment behavior that is exacerbated by the high degree of managers’ risk appetite.

Driving Mechanism of Customer Participation in Service-Oriented Enterprises: A Perspective of Value Co-Creation

Location-Oriented Policies in China: Establishment of State-Level Development Zones and Enterprise Innovation Behaviors

The impact of state-level development zones on company innovation behaviors—specifically, innovation input, output, and quality—is examined in this research. This study utilizes the establishment of state-level development zones as a quasi-natural experiment and employs a Staggered Difference-In-Difference model to systematically evaluate the actual effects. Furthermore, this research focuses on the heterogeneous effects of state-level development zones on enterprise innovation, taking into account different functional positionings, such as the Economic and Technological Development Zone (ETDZ), the High-Tech Industrial Development Zone (HIDZ), and the Special Customs Supervision Zone (SCSZ). The results of previous research indicate that the establishment of state-level development zones may effectively foster company innovation and have a noteworthy effect on the input, output, and quality of innovation. The establishment of ETDZs and HIDZs can significantly encourage enterprises to increase their investment in innovation. The innovation incentive effect of HIDZs is stronger than that of ETDZs. On the other hand, the establishment of SCSZs is more beneficial for improving the output and quality of innovation in enterprises. ETDZs can promote innovation output by adjusting industry agglomeration in the region. HIDZs can encourage enterprises to increase their innovation input by intensifying tax preferences and reducing the level of industry agglomeration. SCSZs can effectively promote the innovation input, innovation output, and innovation quality of enterprises by increasing government subsidies and the intensity of tax preferences.

An empirical study of executive research backgrounds on enterprise innovation - the moderator of internal and external institutional environments on physics -reason - human methodology

This study explored the mechanism of executive research backgrounds on enterprise innovation and the moderator of business environment and executive incentives based on the physics -reason - human (Wuli-Shili-Renli, WSR) methodology, used the data of Listed Companies in CSMAR database from 2017 to 2021. It found that every 1% increase in executives with scientific research backgrounds will lead to an increase of 0.016%, 0.160% and 0.010% in innovation input, innovation output and innovation quality respectively in enterprises; every 1% increase in executives with research and development (R&D) backgrounds will decline innovation input by 0.013%, while innovation output and innovation quality in enterprises will increase by 0.257% and 0.026% respectively. Optimizing the business environment can not only stimulate executives' innovation input, but also stimulate their high-quality and efficient innovation output. Salary incentives is easy to induce innovative output of executives with research backgrounds, which is heavy on quantity rather than quality, while equity incentives is the opposite. This study helps enterprises carry out innovation decision-making and practice considering “physics", “reason" and “human ".
