This study, part of an ongoing global study, aims to advance information society research and practice by examining and understanding the information and communication technologies (ICT) adoption in enterprises in the context of the sustainable information society (SIS). In this study, the ICT adoption is described by four components. i.e. outlay on ICT, information culture, ICT management, and ICT...
Modern Russian management model is a mixture management methods based on post-Soviet economic reality and Western best practices. Entering the global economy in the 90th Russia was forced to adopt foreign management models suitable for new market reality. Nevertheless foreign management models could not be copied in pure forms. The authors conducted the analysis of the Generation theory (baby boomers,...
Every year football clubs trade players in order to build competitive rosters able to compete for success, increase the number of their supporters and amplify sponsors and media attention. In the complex system described by the football transfer market can we identify the strategies pursued by successful teams? Where do they search for new talents? Does it pay to constantly change the club roster?...
Beichen district of Tianjin, located in the important node of Beijing-Tianjin golden corridor and high-tech industry area of Jingjintang region, has strong industrial foundations, while it is still faced with the problems that traditional industries account for high proportion of the industrial structure, inefficient use of industrial land, lack of enterprise innovation ability and shortage of resources,...
The conception of contemporary science plainly supports the idea of e-science, and the qualitative aspects of both digital humanities and e-science and the search for new methods for extracting information and patterns from texts, hypertexts, images and networks reveals patterns of argumentation, rationality and irrationality that should be taken into consideration as part of the whole enterprise...
In this paper, we want to introduce experimental economics to the field of data mining and vice versa. It continues related work on mining deterministic behavior rules of human subjects in data gathered from experiments. Game-theoretic predictions partially fail to work with this data. Equilibria also known as game-theoretic predictions solely succeed with experienced subjects in specific games -...
After the subprime crisis, banks have paid intense attention to credit portfolio concentration, for risk reduction or controlling the difference between regulatory capital and economic capital. So this paper teases out three major credit portfolio concentration risk measurement models, and makes a detailed comparative and applicable analysis of them, in order to provide a theoretical reference for...
In this paper we present some recent work we performed on the socio-economic impact of fibre access networks (FTTH/FTTx). We summarise some results from a pre-study on the effects of fibre deployments in Sweden. Specifically, we list and quantify savings in data and telecommunications costs for Swedish local governments, estimate the added values for fibre-connected citizens, and present a multivariate...
FDI and trade imports are two main channels of the international technology diffusion. In this article, based on the empirical analysis, using panel data, the author testes technology spillovers of FDI and trade imports and inspects the effect of technology spillovers of FDI and trade imports to the Bohai regional economic growth. The result shows that there are significant regional differences about...
Possible factors to constrain China's over-investment have been analyzed and related assumptions been proposed. The behavior of over-investment of the listed companies in China and strategies of its constraint mechanism have been analyzed carefully by constructing related models on the basis of previous experience and the actual situation and by an empirical analysis with collected data in 2006-2008...
By employing Moran's I and Gini coefficient as measures of spatial concentration, we explore the spatial patterns of interprovincial migration sharing the same origin or destination in China, 1995–2000. The values of Moran's I and Gini for out-migration streams of each province as an origin and in-migration streams of each province as a destination are estimated accordingly. Through comparing these...
Through exploratory spatial analysis the spatial concentration and diffusion effect of Xinjiang land resource benefit from 1995 to 2008 are analyzed systematically, with following conclusion: the land resource benefit of counties of Xinjiang take on apparent concentration distribution in space. The hot spots mainly concentrate in the Tianshan North Slope Economic Zone and the town zone along the railways...
Based on the concept of service enterprise competitiveness, this paper analyzes the key elements of enterprise competitiveness and establishes the evaluation index system of it, which includes three first-level indexes, i.e. enterprise resources, enterprise capabilities and enterprise performance, 10 second-level indexes and 28 third-level indexes. It selects fuzzy comprehensive evaluation, principal...
As a renewable energy, biogas is not only an important part of the development of rural new energy, but also an important aspect of sustainable development in China. In this paper, with the date from 2003 to 2009, we use the method of grey correlation model to analysis the influence factors of rural household biogas in the city of Huixian. The results point out: the factors that affect rural household...
Vehicle Performance testing for equipment selection programs affect economic and social benefits is proposed based on normative, economic, technical, service, energy saving and environmental protection, human relations elements of the testing equipment selection evaluation criteria system. Extension theory based on equipment selection decision-making feature set, the use of expert experience to establish...
Out-of-equilibrium price dynamics are studied using agent-based computational models. We examine how agents with bounded rationality act in an environment in which they do not know precisely both relative prices and the level of the prices. We model imprecision and uncertainty with fuzzy numbers and use the theory of probabilistic sets as part of the simulation model. Our results explain both positive...
According to the principle of multi-target extension, matter-element analysis constructed a new evaluation method of sustainable housing projects, which was based on element model, extension theory of mathematical methods and correlation functions. At the same time, the example showed that the entropy theory utilized to calculate the correlation index weights in this new method could also avoid subjective...
As the capacity of tourism resources to develop tourism industry and to gain economic, social and environmental benefits, the potential of tourism development is the application prospect of tourism development conditions, evaluation of which can help tourism managers to make reasonable decision of tourism development. Multi-level grey approach is the combination of the analytic hierarchy process and...
The state-owned forests in Heilongjiang province made significant contribution to China's economic development, but with a huge price of serious ecological deterioration. So modern forestry construction of the state-owned forest focuses on strengthening the modern forestry ecological system. The key is the selection of key areas of ecological system. This paper takes Yichun state-owned forest for...
Using data of rural China in 1978 and 2008, the author built two independent models: Gini coefficient model and rural residents' income model, and put forward a principle that the economic development of a country tends to choose measures or policy variable which can both narrow income distribution gap and increase rural residents' income. Through model analysis and further contrastive studies, we...
