Outsourcing Supply Contracts, Human Capital and Firm Capital Structure

We examine the impact of outside purchase contracts on firm risk and firm capital structure. We find that firms with more outside purchase contracts have less risky cash flows. Despite these less risky cash flows, firms with these contracts also have less financial leverage especially when they operate in high value-added industries. Examining firm financing decisions, we document that firms with more outside contracts are more likely to issue private securities. Our results are consistent with firms with more outside purchase contracts using less leverage to decrease the expected costs of financial distress on their explicit and implicit contracting parties.

Building talented worker housing in Shenzhen, China, to sustain place competitiveness

In China, economic reforms over the last three decades, have transformed its urban governments so that economic growth takes priority over other policy goals. The purpose of this paper is to explore how talented worker housing policies have emerged within one of China’s first-class cities, namely Shenzhen, to address its affordability problems but also to enhance local economic competitiveness. Whilst Shenzhen is heading in the direction of an international, entrepreneurial city focusing, in particular, on high value-added industry, it needs to attract and retain professional, skilled workers to sustain this growth trajectory. Drawing on the concept of urban entrepreneurialism, the paper examines how talented worker housing policies and procedures have been initiated and implemented in Shenzhen in relation to its economic development strategy and affordable housing programme. The paper suggests that not only is policy delivery proving problematic, but affordability problems remain insurmountable, thus potentially limiting the effectiveness of this particular urban entrepreneurial strategy in supporting place competitiveness.

Can China's Miraculous Economic Growth Continue?

This paper analyses the growth trajectory of China and related structural change to assess China's capacity to continue its rapid growth over the next decade. The evidence demonstrates that the multi-path approach undertaken has enabled China to transform its economy from low value-added towards high value-added activities through structural change from low to high value-added industries, as well as upgrading within industries. In doing so, China did not follow the neo-liberal advocacy of freeing markets. Selective state interventions facilitated China's transformation from an agricultural to an industrial economy over the last few decades. Upgrading towards higher value-added activities and the continuing strength of macroeconomic indicators, such as balance of payment and capital account surpluses, and low trade intensity of GDP and debt service along with significant deepening in human capital and R&D activities, suggests that China will continue to grow relatively rapidly over the next decade. To do this China needs to find solutions to growing deficits in power and water supply, and potentially dangerous political upheavals if growing economic inequality problems are not solved.

Recently, component materials for display are being developed into higher value-added industries which can strengthen national industrial competitiveness. However, a system for production of component materials for display is nearly depending on import, and its development level is inadequate. For this reason, localization of the embossing treatment system for production of the spacer tape and system improvement for increasing of productivity are needed. Therefore, in this paper, we propose rotary type embossing process system for spacer tape production for localization of system and increasing productivity. The system consists of unwinding, forming, cleaning, winding and testing parts. The mold of forming part is designed to rotary type. And we designed each part and made a prototype to test its performance. We measured embossing shapes, diameter and distance between each embossing and opposite embossing using three coordinate measuring machine. Also, we measured impurity level and the number of impurity particles of sample through the testing and cleaning part. Additionally, the productivity of spacer tape produced by the prototype is measured.

The Governance of Urban Upgrading in Southern China

The paper deals with the politics of upgrading urbanized villages in the Pearl River Delta. Urbanized villages are enclaves of formerly autonomous, very densely built-up settlements managed by village committees representing farmers' collectives and inhabited to a substantial extent by migrants and floating workers. In an environment of transition from a labor-oriented regional economy to higher value-added industries and with the ongoing reform processes, local governments try to fully integrate urbanized villages into their respective cities. This comprises an institutional reform, which makes them part of the political and administrative hierarchies and part of a rather physical upgrading strategy intended to overcome urban problems associated with security, health, economic growth and real estate development. However, the customary strategy of comprehensive redevelopment no longer seems feasible. The cities of Guangzhou and Shenzhen are therefore struggling to develop more sophisticated strategies to tackle the challenge of urbanized villages. The focus of this study is on the different approaches developed by the two cities. Whereas Guangzhou tried to establish a piecemeal strategy, taking the somewhat different local conditions into account, Shenzhen tried to proactively promote the diverse strengths and location factors of the urbanized villages and facilitate the integration process by establishing larger regeneration units, thus comprising the areas surrounding urbanized villages. Both cities, however, are gradually adapting their strategies to the respective local conditions. Our study investigates micro-level urban governance and thereby tries to identify how the various stakeholders organize decision-making in a struggle for power between the different administrative levels in formal and informal communicative settings. It seeks the conditions required for influential development strategies when dealing with different degrees of inherited autonomy and compares the levels of power that planning has in the two cities.

Data mining to improve industrial standards and enhance production and marketing: An empirical study in apparel industry

Apparel production is a high value-added industry in the global textile manufacturing chain. Standard size charts are crucial industrial standards for high-tech apparel industries to maintain competitive advantages in knowledge economy era. However, these industries suffering from production management and marketing often find it hard to obtain the accurate standard size charts. In addition to conventional experience approaches, there is an urgent need to develop effective mechanism to find the industrial standards that are the most suitable to their own industries. This study aims to fill the gap by developing a data mining framework based on two-stage cluster approach to generate useful patterns and rules for standard size charts. The results can provide high-tech apparel industries with industrial standards. An empirical study was conducted in an apparel industry to support their manufacturing decision for production management and marketing with various customers’ needs. The results demonstrated the practical viability of this approach. Moreover, since the anthropometric database must be repeatedly updated, standard size charts may also be continuously renewed via application of the proposed data mining framework. By applying the proposed framework for solving industrial problems, these industrial standards will remain continually beneficial for both production planning and reducing inventory costs, while facilitating production management and marketing.

The Importance of Employment Protection for Skill Development in Coordinated Market Economies

During the heyday of neoliberalism, employment protection was widely believed to be one of the main causes of Europe's poor economic performance and high unemployment. We challenge this view and instead argue that employment protection is crucial to preserving Europe's export success in higher value-added industries. In particular, we explore the relationship between employment protection and skills development.

Artist's Clothing and Environment of Suprematism as Experimental Art

The aim of this study is to shed light on essentials of Suprematist artists focusing on Malevich and their works in relation to modem design, and to examine their roles in the modem design industry compared to those of modem designers. The study obtains the following result on Suprematist artists and their works in Russian avant-garde in terms of modem design. Firstly, Suprematist artists had a great deal of interest in practical design although it seemed Suprematist were replaced by utilitarianism in avant-garde during the Russian revolution. Secondly, Suprematist artists were the first artists to bring the birth of modem design trends by applying their art in geometric forms to clothing and fabric design as well as ornaments and handicraft. Thirdly, the artists' attempt to work with needle workers made it possible to set achievements in design and modem decorative art exhibitions in various fields of art-life. As for the role of modem designers, Suprematist artists including Malevich have significant meanings as follows: Firstly, Malevich was a creative, future-oriented artistic designer who realized zaum of painting on the stage and created suprematistic mode in a cosmic point of view in order to agree with the environment. Secondly, Suprematist artists knew the importance of works that were produced by craftsmen and worked together with them. Therefore, the designers could maintain fabric decoration in difficult conditions knowing the importance of the high value-added industry. Thirdly, they were artists in real life who embodied the ideas and theories of Suprematist in sample works by recognizing the need of changes in life environment: they planned to set a new visual world in art but did not confine the idea only to painting.

Strategic Approaches of Medical Field against Establishment State-run National Graduate School of Oriental Medicine

The Government decided to establish a graduate school of oriental medicine at Pusan National University despite strong opposition from medical field. By establishing a graduate school of oriental medicine, the Government aims at educating competitive healthcare professionals in research to meet fast-changing medical circumstances such as aging society, increasing chronic diseases, public interests in alternative medicine and its evidence-based approach. The Government is also taking this as an opportunity to improve the quality of healthcare service by settling a collaborative treatment system between western and orinetal medicine as well as fostering oriental medicine into high value-added industry. However, it raises a concern that evidence-based approach and standardization of oriental medicine through establishment of a graduate school might leave little room for oriental medicine doctors who depend mainly on traditional experiences and thus lose their leading roles in oriental medicine. Field of western medicine is no exception. If they continue to neglect scientific research in oriental medicine and complementary alternative medicine, the leadership of integrative medicine will shift to oriental medical doctors equipped with scientific knowledge. The situation asks medical field to take active steps and show their propose on education model is more competitive by achieving excellent research results through establishment of research center for oriental medicine and complementary alternative medicine within the framework of medical college education.

DIVERSIFICATION TRENDS OF THE REGIONAL ECONOMY OF MILL-TOWN COMMUNITIES IN NORTHEAST OHIO, 1980-1991

This study evaluates industrial diversification trends of four county communities in northeastern Ohio after more than ten years of attempts to stimulate the regional economy following steel mill closings of the mid-1970s. With the application of a multiple-model replicants technique, employment in 39 compatible sectors of the region's 2-digit industrial sectors were analyzed. The study shows that while a few sectors grew above the state and national averages, a majority experienced modest to declining growth rates. In particular, the analysis shows that the general regional growth trends are predominantly skewed towards low-technology service-producing industries with little or no value-added activities—consistent with the lack of a diversified economic base. The region needs to attract a blend of high value-added manufacturing and service-producing industries if it is to withstand future structural/cyclical shocks from the national economy as well as remain competitive in the global economy.
