MULTILATERAL COMPARISON ON CHINESE MANUFACTURING＇S INTERNATIONAL COMPETITIVENESS

This paper analyses Chinese manufacturing performance from a multilateral perspective in 1980–2004. The PPPs, relative price levels, labor productivity and ULCs in multilateral comparison are used to explore Chinese manufacturing competitiveness. The PPPs are based on the benchmark year 1997. These results are compared to the previous estimates based on the 1987 benchmark. The findings are as follows: the PPPs derived by the different approaches in the base year 1997 in Chinese manufacturing are approximately 3.7 yuan/international $. Since the middle 1980s, China’s relative price level has been the lowest among all five countries and declined during the period of time. Its ULC has also been declining with some fluctuation. In the 1980s, there was “no catch-up rapid growth” in its labor productivity. However, after 1992, a beginning has been made with catch up distinctly, though from a very low level.

THE COMPARISON BETWEEN THE CHAOTIC DEGREES OF CHINESE AND AMERICAN STOCK MARKETS

1 IntroductionAt present most researches on the chaotic fluctuant law of stock market are restricted inseeking the proof that chaos edests in stock markets. But nothing has been done on the differencebetween the chaotic statuses of differellt coteries and the causes. That might relate to the highcomplealty of chaotic economic system so that ac simple variable cannot eXPlain its complexityand irregularity well. Song[1] put forward the degree of chaos for analyzing stock market, andit is a brid…     

THEORETICAL AND NUMERICAL COMPARISON ON DOUBLE-PROJECTION METHODS FOR VARIATIONAL INEQUALITIES

Recently, double projection methods for solving variational inequalities have received much attention clue to their fewer projection times at each iteration. In this paper, we unify these double projection methods within two unified frameworks, which contain the existing double projection methods as special cases. On the basis of this unification, theoretical and numerical comparison between these double projection methods is presented.

A PATH ANALYTICAL ANALYSIS OF ORGANIZATIONAL INTEGRATION PRACTICES＇ EFFECTS ON MANUFACTURING FLEXIBILITY AND COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGF

To cope with an increasingly turbulent environment, manufacturing firms increasingly implement integration practices to enhance flexibility in the production process. This research develops a framework to explore the relationships among organizational integration practices, manufacturing flexibility, and competitive advantage. The study develops valid and reliable instruments to measure these constructs, and it applies structural equation modeling to test relationships among these variables using a large sample. The results indicate strong, positive, and direct relationships between organizational integration practices and manufacturing flexibility, and between manufacturing flexibility and competitive advantage. The results also indicate that organizational integration practices enhance competitive advantage directly as well as indirectly by facilitating manufacturing flexibility.

LUEROTH’S THEOREM IN DIFFERENTIAL FIELDS

In this paper,we present a constructive proof of Lueroth’s theorem in differential case.We also give a method to fing the inversion maps for general differential rational parametric equations.As a consequence,we prove that a differential rational curve always has a set of proper parametric equations.     

A CRYPTOGRAPHIC STUDY ON S—BOXES OF DES TYPE Ⅱ——AN ENTROPY LEAKAGE ANALYSIS FOR THE KEY

The concept of key-entropy drop in an S-box is introduced.It is established that theoutput functions of the permutations composing an S-box belong to three patterns of key-entropydrop.An analysis of the distribution of the key-entropy drop patterns in the 8 S-boxes in the DEShas been made.     

A CRYPTOGRAPHIC STUDY ON S—BOXES OF DES TYPE Ⅰ AN INTEGRATED ANALYSIS OF THE DESIGN CRITERIA FOR S-BOXES

MANUFACTURER’S UNIFORM PRICING AND CHANNEL CHOICE WITH A RETAIL PRICE MARKUP COMMITMENT STRATEGY

The paper studies channel choice decisions in a multi-channel supply chain under a strategy where there is an ex-ante commitment made on the retail price markup. The market demand is uncertain and dependent on the price and sales efforts. The results show that in any channel structure, when making order decisions the retailer only examines the price ratio and the fluctuation size of random demand, rather than the channel cost and the retailer＇s marketing efficiency. When the retail price rises, the manufacturer is willing to increase inventory quantity for direct sales, because the manufacturer＇s profit margin is higher in direct channel. The increase in demand fluctuation only affects the degree of channel preference but doesn＇t change the manufacturer＇s channel choice. No matter in which level the price ratio is, when the sales efficiency of retail channel is not high or the demand proportion of direct channel is low, the manufacturer and the retailer will be both apt to choose a dual-channel structure. Then adding a direct channel becomes a marketing strategy, rather than a competitor of the retail channel, and helps the supply chain win more market demand.
