This paper investigates a coopetition supply chain which consists of one supplier and duopoly manufacturers that produce substitutable products. The supplier does not cooperate with one manufacturer, but cooperates with the other. To coordinate this coopetition supply chain, we introduce a quantity discount pricing model to address coordination condition of the supply chain. We get the coordination condition — the optimal quantity discount rate. Then, under operating uncertainty caused by manufacturers' competition of price, we discuss the intensity of supply-chain ripple effect. We find that quantity-discount contract can coordinate the supply-chain, but cannot remove supply-chain ripple effect in the situation we assume. Besides, in the coordination condition, the price competition from downstream will cause the superposing ripple effect of market demand. And, the effect results in increasing operation cost of the upstream.","PeriodicalId":280476,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Management Science & Engineering 18th Annual Conference Proceedings","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117219424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These types of relationships are identified according to the organizational form of SOEs in China as well as the present situation of relationships between government and SOEs. From the basic content of mutual trust mechanism, we apply Systems Dynamics (SD) model to simulate these three modes' and traditional state-owned assets operation under different market conditions. It indicates that Plan-Control mutual trust mechanism plays a better role when market demand is stable, while Guide-Coordinate mutual trust mechanism is more adaptable to demand disturbance. Besides changes in market demand, the internal structure of the system also has some influence on state-owned assets management under mutual trust mechanism.","PeriodicalId":280476,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Management Science & Engineering 18th Annual Conference Proceedings","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125370471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We examine the different accounting quality levels of different real estate firms which are classified by investment property measurement under China's new accounting standards from 2007 to 2009. We hypothesize and find evidence that the fair value firms have lower variance of change in net income, lower ratio of the variance of change in net income and change in cash flows, higher frequency of small positive net income, and lower value relevance. The empirical results indicate that real estate firms which adopt fair value model to measure investment property have lower accounting quality than other real estate firms. We also find that no fair value firm report negative net income. Overall, our results suggest that the adoption of fair value model should be considered carefully especially under China's special market background.","PeriodicalId":280476,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Management Science & Engineering 18th Annual Conference Proceedings","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126625640","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we systematically analyzed current situation of culture in Daqing Petroleum Corporation. Based on those facts, we proposed principles and pathways for Daqing Petroleum Corporation to construct modern enterprise culture, namely to uniform corporations value, to nurture corporation spirit, to boost management idea, to strength corporation system, to organize brand, to rebuild corporation's figure in public.

The present combinations of privatization, competition and regulation reforms are varied across these monopoly industries and thus provide an opportunity for comparing the performances of the different kinds of the reforms. Based on a cross-sectional data from Chinese listed companies in 7 utility sectors, this study examined the impact of ownership, competition and corporate governance on performance index in terms of companies and industries. The effect of corporate governance is not observed in this sample. Electricity sectors perform better than other utilities industries but within this subsample production gain is negatively related to private ownership. The production abilities of companies in water, airline and telecommunication sectors are significantly inferior to electricity sectors which also have a significantly lower cost than railway and airline industries. For rail and airline industries, the percentages of private shares are significantly negatively related to cost index. For telecommunication and airline industries, production is positively related to private ownership. These results indicate that ownership reform is critical in the case of competition which suggests the necessity of introducing competition before the reform and that the degree of competition after ownership reform also matters.","PeriodicalId":280476,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Management Science & Engineering 18th Annual Conference Proceedings","volume":"315 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116120109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most of related policy can be classified into two categories: administrative and market. From a micro-level, in this paper, a simple optimization model was developed to clarify impacts of administrative and market carbon emission abatement scheme on firm's production plan and expected net income when the firm is confronted with a random demand on its product. By calculating firm's optimal amount of product and corresponding expected net income, we find that command-and-control approach is strictest one. And to some extent, it may cause inefficiency of resources utilization and market failure because this scheme imposes a hard constraint on firm's product plan. However, schemes such as administrative and market scheme are preferable though they may lead to inefficiency and market failure too, but to less extent. The reason is that without the hard constraint on firm's product plan, these schemes present more options so the firm can make more profits by trading off between carbon abating and burdening the cost of over-emissions.","PeriodicalId":280476,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Management Science & Engineering 18th Annual Conference Proceedings","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128354814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
