With the progress of society, the market economic system continues to develop and improve, the market environment is becoming more and more complex, and the market competition is becoming more and fiercer. Human resource management plays an increasingly prominent role in public management and enterprise management. As an important part of human resource management, incentive mechanism affects the flow of talents, work efficiency, enthusiasm, work quality and other aspects. How to improve the incentive mechanism to promote the healthy development of employees and achieve the organizational goals has become a practical problem that public organizations and enterprises must solve. This paper will focus on analyzing the differences and commonalities between the incentive mechanisms of public management and enterprise management, and then propose feasible innovation strategies and implementation paths for the incentive mechanisms of public management and enterprise management according to China's actual situation and combined with international advanced experience The purpose of this paper is to improve the two internal structure management and work efficiency and quality to meet the new requirements of future social and economic development.

Construction of a Multi-Level Strategic System for Cultivating Cultural Industry Management Talents in Colleges and Universities

Through SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) and PEST (political, economic, social, and technological) analysis, this study discusses the construction of a multi-level strategic system for the cultivation of cultural industry management talents in colleges and universities. First of all, based on SWOT analysis, it is found that colleges and universities have rich educational resources and policy support, but they face challenges such as insufficient practical teaching and intensified international competition. External opportunities come from the rapid development of the cultivation of cultural industry management talents and policy promotion, while threats come from global market competition and talent flow. Secondly, PEST analysis reveals the key factors in the macro-environment: at the political level, the state vigorously supports the cultivation of cultural industry management talents; at the economic level, the market demand for cultural industries is strong; at the social level, the public cultural consumption is upgraded; at the technological level, digital transformation promotes industry innovation. On this basis, this paper puts forward a multi-level strategic system covering theoretical education, practical skill improvement, interdisciplinary integration, and international vision training. The system aims to solve the problems existing in talent training in colleges and universities and cultivate high-quality cultural industry management talents with theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and global vision, so as to adapt to the increasingly complex and diversified cultural industry management talents market demand and promote the long-term development of the industry.

What influences the development of wine-producing regions? New economic opportunities in the eastern foothills of the Helan Mountains in China

The formation and development of wine regions require unique natural conditions and hundreds of years of technical and cultural accumulation. The development of the wine industry at the eastern foot of Helan Mountain in China, in addition to the appropriate geographical environment, the technical migration, and talent flow supported by consistent policies, have improved the allocation ability of resource factors and conversion efficiency, making it a world-renowned new wine-producing region in just 40 years. This particular mechanism deserves attention as new industries develop in other parts of the world. Using the methods of spatial autocorrelation, hot spot analysis, and geographic detector, this paper comprehensively analyzes the growth and spatial evolution characteristics of wineries in the eastern foot of Helan Mountain in China and deeply discusses the mechanism of the interaction between the localization of global floating capital and China's unique regional economic policies. It is found that the local selection of global floating capital has a spatial locking effect on the formation of CHMWR, and the rolling support policies of China's central and local governments promote the rapid expansion and regional spread of the number and scale of wineries, with significant spatial agglomeration and spatial diffusion. The profound mechanism of such changes lies in the dual interaction of the local selection of global liquid capital and the Chinese government's wine-producing policies adapted to the geographical environment. In this process, a series of internal and external factors such as the innovation of grape planting and wine-making technology, consumer market, and government behavior have accelerated the continuous growth of the wine-producing region at the eastern foot of Helan Mountain in Ningxia. This paper adds a new understanding and deep understanding of the interaction between the local implantation of economic globalization and the macro-control policies of the Chinese government.

Universities as cities of flows: decoding cross-regional university partnerships for sustainable development in China

PurposeThe study conceptualises universities as “cities of flows” to examine the East-West University Partnership (EWUP) in China, which is a pioneering initiative of cross-regional university collaboration linking over 220 institutions across China since 2001. The study explores the strategic enhancement of connective and collaborative capacity of universities to facilitate diverse flows of talent, knowledge and other resources within the broader context of China's sustainable development in higher education.Design/methodology/approachThe study employs a qualitative single-case study design to investigate the EWUP within its real-life context using participant observation and documentary research. As an analogical inquiry, the study merges the insider and outsider perspectives of the researchers to identify patterns between theoretical constructs and empirical evidence.FindingsThe EWUP as a policy entrepreneurship has significantly contributes to coordinated, inclusive and sustainable development. Its spatial dynamics consists of structural, temporal and collaborative dynamics. They are characterised by centrality, connectivity and adaptability which are generated through the interplay among the nodes, linkages and fields of influence within the EWUP network. These dynamics showcase EWUP as a novel approach to managing long-term university partnerships between more and less developed regions.Originality/valueThe study reimagines universities and higher education systems through vivid analogies of cities and transportation networks and elucidates connectivity as a pivotal dimension of sustainability. It advocates for reexamining spatial theories in higher education, deepens insights into the dynamics of cross-regional university partnerships in coordinating educational and territorial development, and enriches discussions on Higher Education for Sustainable Development (HESD).

The impact and spatial spillover effect of traditional culture on urban green innovation: Empirical evidence from China

The issues of resource scarcity and environmental pollution has become huge challenges that all of humanity faces together. To resolve the issue, promoting urban green innovation capacity is important. This study uses 189 prefecture-level cities and above in China from 2011 to 2020 as samples, and empirically test the impact and spatial spillover effect of traditional culture on urban green innovation. This study finds that: (1) Traditional culture can improve the local green innovation and positively impact the green innovation in neighboring cities by radiation effect, and the conclusion remains valid after robustness tests; (2) Talent flow and data flow negatively moderate the positive impact of traditional culture on green innovation in local cities. In addition, from a dynamic perspective, traditional culture has a negative impact on green innovation in neighboring cities because of the siphon effect; (3) The spatial spillover effect of traditional culture on urban green innovation shows distinct heterogeneity due to the different regions and whether it is a low-carbon pilot city. This study verifies the important value of Chinese traditional culture in urban sustainable development, which is of great significance for the protection and inheritance of traditional culture and the improvement of urban green innovation.

Economic incentives and return migrant scholars: Evidence from a talent recruitment program in China

In global talent flows, developing countries tend to experience large brain drain to developed countries. To strengthen scientific capacity, many countries have initiated programs to attract overseas scientists to return in recent years. This study evaluates the effect of a large-scale talent recruitment program on return migration and scientific productivity in the home country. We focus on the Thousand Young Talents Program in China, the major source country of global talents in this century. We use unique data on institution-, publication-, and citation-based measures for faculty hired between 2000 and 2017 in the top mathematics departments in China. Regression results show that the recruitment program leads to significant increases in hires’ overseas educational background and scientific productivity. The effects of the program are concentrated in universities in the top tier and those located in the economically developed coastal regions. This implies that the recruitment initiative has widened the gaps in hire quality across universities. Somewhat surprisingly, scientific output of incumbents declined after being exposed to returnees, likely due to lack of collaboration. For policy implications, our study suggests that incentive-based talent programs can be an effective tool to turn brain drain into brain gain for developing countries. Furthermore, complementary policies to encourage faculty collaboration could magnify the benefits from return migration to knowledge production in the home country.

Does intellectual property rights protection matter for low-carbon transition? The role of institutional incentives

Intellectual Property Rights Protection (IPRP) can affect knowledge dissemination and talent flow. However, few studies have examined its effect on regional low-carbon transition and the low-carbon economy. Using carbon emission efficiency (CEE) to measure China's low-carbon transition, we consider the “National Intellectual Property Rights Demonstration Cities” policy as a quasi-experiment and apply a staggered difference-in-differences model to examine IPRP's effect on CEE. We find that IPRP boosts CEE through green innovation and energy intensity and is stronger in coastal, eastern, resourced-based, and big cities. Finally, the significantly positive spillover impact of IPRP boosts CEE in adjacent cities. This study highlights the critical role of the institutional environment in driving low-carbon transitions, offering a foundational framework for developing countries to promote IPRP.

Assessment of Rural Industry Integration Development, Spatiotemporal Evolution Characteristics, and Regional Disparities in Ethnic Regions: A Case Study of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Counties

Ethnic regions in China primarily focus on the development of agricultural and animal husbandry economies, which are relatively underdeveloped. Rural industry integration development (RIID) is considered the foundation and guarantee for ethnic regions to achieve high-quality modernization of agriculture. The purpose of this article is to measure the level of rural industrial integration in ethnic minority areas, analyze the spatial evolution and regional differences, and explore the actual situation of RIID in these regions. The aim is to provide a decision-making basis for local governments to effectively promote the development of rural industrial integration. Based on the improvement of the evaluation index system for rural industrial integration development, this paper takes the counties of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region as the research area. Utilizing panel data from the statistical yearbooks of 68 banners and counties in Inner Mongolia from 2011 to 2020, the panel entropy weight TOPSIS method is employed to assess the average level of rural industrial integration in the research area. The ArcGIS natural breakpoint method is employed to classify the level of RIID in county areas. Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis (ESDA) and GeoDa are utilized to analyze the spatial distribution characteristics of RIID. Finally, the Theil index is employed to analyze the regional differences in the level of RIID. The results show the following: (1) The overall level of RIID in ethnic regions is relatively low, with the contributions of the four dimensions in the evaluation index system as follows: integration path > integration foundation > integration sustainability > integration effect. The level of RIID in the study area is as follows: western region > eastern region > central region. (2) Spatially, there are positive correlations and significant spatial clustering in the level of RIID, with the spatial clustering effect of RIID weakening. (3) There are regional differences in the level of RIID, which are expanding. The inter-regional differences are decreasing, while the intra-regional differences are increasing. (4) The construction of agricultural processing facilities, financial investment, financial support, and talent policies are important influencing factors for the current stage of RIID in ethnic regions. Therefore, in the low-level development stage of RIID in ethnic regions, it is necessary to fully utilize the advantages of resource endowment, increase investment in rural infrastructure, and strengthen the guidance of talent flow into rural revitalization construction.

Impact of Employment Policies of Liaoning Province in China on Talent Flow in the Post-Pandemic Era

The importance of studying talent migration in Liaoning lies in its strategic role in Northeast China's economy, particularly for post-pandemic recovery and global adaptation. This paper assesses the impact of Liaoning's employment policies on talent flow and labor market equilibrium after COVID-19. It underscores the critical influence of government strategies in tackling employment issues, especially for newly graduated individuals and established professionals. This highlights the synergy between public policy, economic stability, and workforce progression amidst global shifts. The findings indicate a positive effect of these policies in retaining and attracting talent, thereby reducing the negative impact on the labor market due to the pandemic. The paper recommends further enhancements to these policies, focusing on the incorporation of digital transformation and ongoing educational initiatives. These steps are proposed to foster workforce flexibility and to stimulate regional economic development. This comprehensive approach aims not only at immediate labor market stabilization but also at long-term strategic planning for Liaoning's economic and workforce competitiveness on a global scale.

PROJECT ARCHETYPES OF THE EUROPEAN RESEARCH AREA: EXPLORING THE OCCASIONAL ENGAGEMENT PATTERNS OF THE EUROPEAN SOUTHERN NEIGHBOURHOOD

This paper examines the project-based pattern of European Southern Neighbourhood engagement in the European Research Area. Thereby, this study informs about the role of the European Research Area in advancing EU objectives and ambitions in the enduringly salient European Neighbourhood Policy context. The research question that drives this study is: What project archetypes’ pattern denotes the European Southern Neighbourhood’s participation in the pan-European space intended to facilitate the free flow of talent and ideas? The guiding hypothesis anticipates that the prevailing archetype corresponds to an encounter lasting for one project, and prolonged engagement throughout several consecutive projects is a rarity. This enquiry into the relationality weaved by research collaboration formulates four archetypes. The main empirical material employed to model and study the four archetypes is semi-structured interviews with Europe-based project managers. Insights offered by the leading figures of projects funded by Framework Programme 7 and Horizon 2020 reveal how multilateral research-driven ties contribute to post-Westphalian external action aspirations. Devised analytic narratives attest to the performances of the EU science diplomacy, for example, in the form of technoscientific gifts as well as sharing and jointly developing kn/own/ables. Expert experiences of co-developing research-intensive solutions with Morocco- and Tunisia-based colleagues to address the most pressing challenges faced by the EU and its Southern neighbours are resourceful. They offer new insights into the patterned routines that support the implementation of such supranationally steered governance frameworks as the European Research Area, including its external action and science diplomacy dimensions. Almost half of the studied projects correspond to the archetype with one EU-funded project interaction. This confirms the rather sporadic or ad hoc relational ties of the European Southern Neighbourhood to the European Research Area, facilitated by various Europe-based competence centres.

The establishment of a performance evaluation model using education informatization to evaluate teacher morality construction in colleges and universities

Abstract To improve the effectiveness of the construction of teacher morality in colleges and universities, this article employs the performance evaluation model of education informatization to construct an evaluation system for the construction of teacher morality in colleges and universities. The evaluation of the construction effect of teacher morality is carried out through intelligent data analysis, and the significant error is used as the parameter of the teacher’s morality to make estimations. Moreover, a binary variable is introduced to judge whether the data have a significant error. Mixed integer linear and nonlinear programming methods are employed to detect significant errors. In addition, the idea of synchronizing teachers’ moral data is added. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by a simulation study using MATLAB 2017. The results show that it is necessary to establish and improve the talent flow mechanism that conforms to the requirements to promote the rational flow of teachers.

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN CHINA UNDER ECONOMIC GLOBALIZATION

Economic globalization is the development characteristic and advantage of modern economy, especially the in-depth development of knowledge economy and people-oriented era, which has become the decisive factor of the world economy in the 21st century. In this context, competition among countries increasingly revolves around the quantity, quality and development level of human resources. This transformation has brought both opportunities and challenges to human resource management (HRM) in China. Economic globalization has prompted China's human resources management concepts to be re-examined and updated, and the field of human resources management has shown a more diversified pattern. The subjects of human resources management are constantly changing, and it is necessary to adjust the human resource’s structure and improve the overall quality of the workforce. While economic globalization has brought opportunities to China, it has also brought tremendous pressure to China's human resources management. Fierce international competition has posed a severe test to human resources and challenged traditional human resource management methods and structures. This article deeply explores the impact of economic globalization on human resource management in China. It analyzes how China's human resources management responds to the emergence of diverse talent market, the growing demand for cross-cultural skills, the fluidity of global talent flows, the need for technology and digital transformation, and the regulation and compliance faced in operations challenge. Globalized environment. By understanding and responding to these changes, China's human resource management can proactively respond to the changing situation and seize the opportunities brought by economic globalization.

Constructing Global Tastes: A Comparison of Two Cultural Intermediaries in the Field of High-End Cuisine

ABSTRACT The paper elucidates the influence of cultural intermediaries (CIs) at the global level by studying their role in one cultural field, culinary culture. We examine the World’s 50 Best Restaurants list and the Michelin Guide, the two most referred to global evaluative systems in fine-dining. By making a systematic comparison of these CIs’ judgment devices and dispositions, our study elaborates on three key aspects of cultural intermediation: first, the qualification of goods and services is often contested and legitimacy can be achieved by drawing on differing resources. Second, we show that cultural intermediation has acquired a global dimension. Changing practices of CIs and their increasingly global reach have precipitated a partial reversal of the previous flow of culinary knowledge and talent from the global North to the global South, contributing to the construction of new canons of taste in the field. CIs now bestow worth not only on individual market actors (restaurants/chefs) but also on the countries from which they originate. Third, by highlighting the competition between the two CIs, we are able to show the changes both CIs have felt compelled to make during the last decade or so.

Research on Reform Measures of Labor Wage Statistics

Under the background of the continuous development of our country's market economy system, the internal personnel system of public institutions has also undergone obvious changes. In combination with the actual situation, labor wage statistics is an important part of the internal personnel management system of public institutions in nature, and its statistical quality will have a very direct impact on the overall operation efficiency of public institutions. Based on this, this paper conducts an in-depth study on the status quo and reform measures of labor wage statistics in public institutions, hoping to play a certain role in the development of relevant work. With the deepening of economic and cultural integration, the scope of wushu culture industry is more and more extensive. Factors such as the degree of association and quality among industries are affected by the external ecosystem and change with the change of industry content. The external ecosystem is composed of talent flow, knowledge flow, capital flow, information flow and material flow, which can be divided into four levels. The first is the talent system, which is the key factor for the sustainable development of the martial arts cultural industry.

New Vocational Education Law on Artificial Intelligence Helps Build a Skilled Society

Abstract Under the guidance of the new vocational education method of artificial intelligence, this paper divides the skill-based society into skill-based organizations, and constructs a knowledge dynamic equilibrium model based on superimposed knowledge fields. The knowledge-explicit module of skill-based talent flow and the external dynamic equilibrium module are integrated to achieve the evolutionary modeling of knowledge resources in skill-based organizations. Based on the discussion of the new vocational education law, the characteristic models of intellectual resource development, knowledge dynamic growth, group evolution and talent motivation in skill-based organizations are proposed respectively. The simulation analysis of the knowledge dynamic equilibrium network is combined with the analysis of influencing factors to inspire the education of higher vocational colleges and universities under the new vocational education method. As measured by the data, the average path length mean values of the intra-organizational knowledge network when N=160, 260, 330 are 2.2761, 2.4437 and 2.5394, respectively, which indicates that skilled talents have a strong willingness to interact with each other and share knowledge. The construction of skill-based organizations should fully create a strong environment for talent exchange and focus on cultivating students’ willingness and ability to communicate in vocational education.

Upward social mobility? The capital accumulation of Taiwanese talent in China

AbstractFrom a nation‐state and regional perspective, global talent flows have traditionally been South−North, and the discourse has focused on brain drain or brain gain. This research extends beyond the South−North spatial structure to investigate Taiwanese talent flows to China, examining why young Taiwanese talent is migrating to China for employment in the complex context of cross‐Strait relations, and how they accumulate capital through their own particular globalized situation and the relationship they construct between capital accumulation and spatial mobility. The fieldwork for the present research included in‐depth interviews conducted in 2018 with 35 young Taiwanese who had relocated to Beijing for work. Results found that Taiwanese talent does not always accumulate capital through spatial mobility, but rather they experience the offset of privilege and depreciation of embodied cultural capital in the place of immigration and continue to accumulate mixed forms of embodied cultural capital such as ‘Chinese experience’ which enable the constant mobility or stop in the future. This research describes the dynamics of spatial mobility of talents caused by the accumulation of embodied cultural capital in countering the globalized situation.

Revolving Doors: Social Dimensions of Law Firm Culture and Pathways out of Firms

AbstractA growing body of research suggests that contemporary law firms face challenges with the retention of legal talent—especially women and racialized lawyers. Yet, we know little about the conditions that prompt lawyers to leave law firms or where they go after leaving. This article builds on the scholarship of John Hagan, emphasizing the role of social capital in law firm culture, and work by Emmanuel Lazega, tracing dimensions of law firm collegiality—both with implications for lawyers’ careers within and beyond law firms. I draw on data from a twenty-seven-year longitudinal survey of Canadian lawyers. Using piecewise exponential survival models, I examine organizational, cultural, and individual factors that may encourage mobility from law firms. The study reveals a pervasive gender difference that is not explained by human capital, organizational characteristics, or individual traits. Results also demonstrate the importance of social capital and firm culture—specifically, the presence of workplace policies of flexible scheduling, lawyers’ sense of a good match with their firm, their satisfaction with status rewards, and finally, the role of mentors—in shaping the flow of legal talent from law firms to various job destinations.
