浅析珠三角区域经济的可持续发展——基于后亚运时代的分析

广州亚运会对让珠三角的区域经济起到了很大的促进作用，随着我国社会主义市场经济的不断推进，区域经济一体化已经成为我国经济社会发展的基本趋势，长三角地区、珠三角地区、环渤海经济圈等一系列区域经济合作相继展开。广州亚运会给珠三角区域的城市建设、经济、政治、文化等方面的发展都产生的深远的影响。后亚运时代现指广州成功举办第十六届亚运会之后的时空，更多的是关注珠三角在城市规划建设、经济商贸、文化体育等方面受亚运会推动而取得的发展。     

环渤海经济圈一体化发展之路

在环渤海地区5800公里的海岸线上,分布着20多个大中城市、数千家大型企业、60多个大小港口,它是中国乃至世界上城市、工业、港口最密集的地区之一。然而同长三角和珠三角相比,环渤海地区的市场化水平较低,区域经济一体化的进程明显滞后,还没有形成适合于区域特点的发展模式。如果环渤海经济圈不能突破行政区限制,在城市之间形成分工合理、竞争有序的产业体系和公共设施体系,将会被边缘化。因此,加强本地区整体的协调发展,不断地推进体制创新,促进地区间的生产要素的自由流动,实现环渤海经济圈一体化发展,是本地区迫切需要解决的问题。     

全面推进“环京津创业带”建设，将廊坊建设成为“京津塘科技新干线”上的科技辅城

继长江三角洲、珠江三角洲地区经济快速发展后．我国最大的高新技术产业密集区域——“京津冀经济圈”正在形成中国经济增长的“第三极”，专家预测，“京津冀经济圈”将成为继珠三角、长三角之后全国经济发展的重心。在这一思想的指导下，2003年9月．经济学家提出了“京津塘科技新干线”的概念，即以北京、天津双子星为依托，以河北为腹地，打造一条从西山山脉到环渤海、从科技源头到产业发展的真正意义上的科技新干线，使之成为京津冀环渤海地区合作发展的龙头和主干。     

“两型综改”中的武汉角色

中国现有"珠三角"、"长三角"和"环渤海"三个增长极,中国还需要新的增长级,鉴于前三个增长极都在沿海地区,都属于外向型增长极,因此,新的增长极应该是内源型增长极。     

秦皇岛:努力打造“东出西联”的桥头堡

在经济全球化和区域经济一体化趋势凸现,京津冀都市圈和环渤海经济圈加速崛起的大背景下,河北省第七次党代会提出了具有里程碑意义的宏大目标——建设沿海经济社会发展     

环渤海地区与长三角地区在哪些方面存在差距

人们已习惯于将环渤海地区与长三角、珠三角地区统称为我国三大区域经济体。但资料表明,环渤海地区较之于长三角和珠三角地区,无论整体实力、经济活力、发展速度,还是区域合作和经济融合,都还有相当的差距。尽管多年来,山东在环渤海地区一马当先,改革发展取得了令人叹服的成就,但仍难改变环渤海区域整体发展不足的尴尬局面。有数据显示,2006年,环渤     

闽东南对外经贸战略实施初探

<正> 一、突出特色,加速规划 该区域的主要特色是:首先位于中国沿海中部.是五大区域的中心地带,南方更加开放的珠江三角洲及海南,北为基础雄厚、腹地深远的长江三角洲,环渤海区域,因此,其战略中心支撑点的作用不容忽视,决不能成为东南沿海长链上的一个薄弱环节,否则,将从全局上影响中国经济发展战略的实施;其二,该区域与宝岛台湾仅一水之隔,是发展两岸经济贸易合作,实现祖国和平统一的前沿基地;其三,邻近港澳,是仅次于珠江三角洲,与港澳经济联系最为紧密的地区;其四,是福建全省对外经贸的中心和重点区域,也是省内基础设施最为完备的地区;其五,不仅集中了福建对外贸易的重要港口,而且也是中国东南沿海通往海外的重要门户。立足上述特色,作为一个独立的经济区,闽东南必须加速规划。目前,珠江三角洲已在制订区域发展规划,环渤海区域、长江三角洲也在拟议区域内部的经济合作,闽东南在这方面不应落后。规划应突出外向发展,重点抓住对外经贸这个龙头。     

统一完善的产权市场是环渤海区域经济合作的重要前提

在现代市场经济条件下,一个区域的崛起或市场一体化的形成与发展,在很大程度上依靠资本市场的发展。我国区域经济发展的实践也证明,深圳与上海资本市场的发展对于珠三角与长三角的市场一体化发挥了极大的推动作用,环渤海区域振兴自然也离不开资本市场的支持。     

论环渤海开发战略背景下的辽宁沿海经济带建设

<正>进入新世纪,环渤海经济带将成为中国第三大经济隆起带,成为最具有发展活力和竞争力的新的增长区域。辽宁沿海经济带开发恰是在国家发展战略重点北移,开发建设环渤海经济带的大背景下提出的。是国家构建环渤海经济带的重要组成部分,也是将辽宁建设成为我国新型产业基地和新的重要经济增长区域的关键所在。     

环渤海经济圈的真正形成还需要时间

环渤海经济圈概念热起来,与整个国家的开放格局有关。我国的改革开放先是在4个经济特区起步,后来紧接着开放14个城市。按照当时的思路,在中国未来开放的进程中,将有三个重要的经济支撑:珠三角、长三角和环渤海。环渤海将是中国北方的一个重要经济区域。但是一个经济圈的形成主要有三条标准:区域内产业间有基本的分工与协调;共享基础设施;不同地区能围绕一个或几个共同的综合目标发展,而不是各行其是。按照这个标     

Inventory Models with Continuous and Poisson Demands and Discounted and Average Costs

We develop a new, unified approach to treating continuous‐time stochastic inventory problems with both the average and discounted cost criteria. The approach involves the development of an adjusted discounted cycle cost formula, which has an appealing intuitive interpretation. We show for the first time that an (s, S) policy is optimal in the case of demand having a compound Poisson component as well as a constant rate component. Our demand structure simultaneously generalizes the classical EOQ model and the inventory models with Poisson demand, and we indicate the reasons why this task has been a difficult one. We do not require the surplus cost function to be convex or quasi‐convex as has been assumed in the literature. Finally, we show that the optimal s is unique, but we do not know if optimal S is unique.     

Educational Landscapes and Urban Development. Contextual and Spatial Interfaces and Linkages

In the broad sociopolitical discussion on education quality within the last decade, it has become apparent that education is gaining importance for urban development, as well as space and the urban context are important dimensions of education. This becomes particularly evident in concepts for local educational landscapes (Ger. Bildungslandschaften). The young field of research on educational landscapes is currently lacking empirical research from spatial and planning sciences. In the paper, the current state of scientific research on educational landscapes in Germany and Europe and first insights to contextual and spatial interfaces and linkages between education and urban development in general are presented.     

E-governance and Corruption-developments and Issues in Ethiopia

This paper reports the results of a survey of 400 respondents in Ethiopia about factors generating corruption and the potential of e-Governance to mitigate corruption. It is suggested that e-Governance can help not only in weeding out corruption but also in the establishment of sounder government citizen relationships in Ethiopia. While e-Governance cannot cure all the structural factors that breed corruption in the society, strategic implementation of e-Governance can help improve the critical variable in combating corruption-government citizen relationships. It is argued that while e-Governance initiatives can make important contributions to improving public services they can best do so by helping improve overall relationships between governments and citizens.

CEO and Chairperson characteristics and firm performance

This paper focuses on the relationship between Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chairperson characteristics and firm performance. Specifically, the study examines the association between the characteristics of the CEO and the Chairperson of the board and firm performance. Using a sample of S&P 500 firms, the evidence found suggests that demographic and experience-related characteristics may be associated with the market valuation and financial performance of the firm. In particular, the reported results indicate a positive relationship between the presence of female CEOs or Chairs and firm performance, thus suggesting that gender-based differences may affect the CEO’s/Chairperson’s success. Moreover, the findings concerning the age of the CEO or Chair are mixed, while their experience and quality appear positively related to firm performance. Interestingly, a CEO or Chairperson holding multiple board seats is negatively associated with firm performance, whereas CEO duality has a positive relationship with Tobin’s Q and the return on assets (ROA) of the firm.     

David and Goliath: causes and effects of coopetition between start-ups and corporates

Coopetition (collaboration between competitors) among young firms (i.e. start-ups) and larger, more established firms (i.e. corporates) may be beneficial for both partners as each party typically has something to offer that is missing in the other. Start-ups often develop innovative ideas, are flexible and agile, willing to take risks, and aspire to achieve high growth, but they tend to lack the required resources, capabilities, and knowledge due to their newness and smallness. Corporates have resources, routines, and experience that enable them to work efficiently but lack a certain innovation capability. Research has suggested that coopetition represents an opportunity for start-ups facing restrictions in resources, while corporates benefit from start-ups’ innovative ideas. However, it is yet unknown whether start-ups and corporates engage in coopetition with each other and, if so, how and why they do this. This study seeks to fill this void by exploring the motives of coopeting start-ups and corporates, how they manage their coopetitive relationship, and what implications occur including potential benefits and risks. We present a multiple case study based on qualitative data collected through 70 interviews with Austrian-based start-ups and corporates representing 35 coopetitive partnerships. Discussing the findings based on our data, we propose relationships concerning coopetition and its role to enlarge resource- and technology-bases as well as its role in the development of dynamic capabilities.     

Career orientations and career success among research,and development and engineering professionals

Managing the careers of research, development and engineering (RD&E) professionals is important to the strategic use of RD&E in the economy. Appropriate mechanisms for motivating RD&E professionals will probably emerge as a critical success factor for organizations that want to compete in world markets. This study examines dimensions and levels of career orientation and their correlations with individual and work-related outcome variables among 78 RD&E professionals. The findings reveal a rich diversity of career orientation in RD&E professionals. The data strongly suggest that RD&E professionals are service, lifestyle and security oriented. However, they scored low on technical orientation and entrepreneurship. This paper suggests that the dual career ladder is not an effective device for managing RD&E professionals. Organizations must be careful to provide career paths that retain and motivate workers and, more importantly, find matches between organizational needs and individuals' needs, and restructure jobs accordingly. The authors offer suggestions for future research and identify implications for management.     

Information technology and productivity: Myths and realities

In the absence of empirical research, media and government publicity have created false expectations and unnecessary anxieties about the effects of new technology. It is comparatively easy to show how information technology can produce productivity gains and job losses in specific areas. But it is not realistic to extrapolate ‘local’ effects to an organization as a whole, or to the economy. The argument of this paper is that it is necessary to consider the implications of technical change on three ‘levels of effect’—operating, organizational and strategic—in order to make a comprehensive assessment. Management, however, appear to concentrate on operating criteria, ignore the consequences of organizational decisions, and do not explore the strategic opportunities of the new technology. The potential strategic advantages may thus not be achieved.     

Hopelessness and suicidality in Turkish and American respondents

In samples of both Turkish and American students, the correlates of suicidal ideation were found to be similar, with depression, hopelessness, and attitudes toward the ownership of life predicting the level of suicidal ideation in both samples. Results using a Western measure of religiosity, however, were different in the two cultures, indicating the need for measures of religiosity specifically tailored for Turkish culture.     

On creativity and cookbooks, discipline and freedom

Is cookbook medicine a major threat to patients and physicians alike? Should this management tool be condemned as yet another disdainful and questionable aspect of managed care? Presented here are arguments for and against cookbook medicine--with some surprising conclusions. Could it be that cookbook medicine actually fosters creativity, discipline, and freedom?
