In Search of Resonance

In this paper I explore the possibility of a complementary relationship between action research and the management and systems sciences. A range of purposes that action researchers and management and systems scientists pursue is initially set out. The paper then explores whether this diversity of purposes and the ways they recommend people to proceed may come together in a new whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. A potentially useful realization of this for practice is a reflexive process of critique, choice, and action, which is elaborated on. The paper then investigates what view of holism arises from the preceeding discussions.     

Rhetorics and Realities in Public Service Organizations: Systemic Practice and Organizational Learning as Critically Reflexive Action Research (CRAR)

This article sets out to develop an argument and theory-in-practice related to organizational learning and systemic practice as critically reflexive action research (CRAR). It explores principles and concepts associated with CRAR, in the context of different emphases in understandings of and approaches to managing or working with change. The notion of epistemologies of practice is developed, as the basis for introducing on-site and off-site CRAR as interweaving cycles of managerial and organizational learning. A multilayered illustration of an improvisational CRAR environment, using principles of dialectical enquiry and critical learning theater, is offered. A diagrammatic analysis provides the framework for describing and reflecting critically on key CRAR processes. This is expanded with a consideration of possibilities for documentation that can assist with the validation of quality in CRAR processes and outcomes. This has relevance in the context of postpositivist action research at postgraduate levels or within project-based CRAR partnerships. This leads to a further discussion of principles and concepts, in the context of other literature and pressures on public services.     

基于价格浮动模型分析的政府对大宗农产品定价调控政策研究

大宗农产品的价格合理、稳定有利于整个社会的稳定和市场经济的发展,因此,通过对大宗农产品价格浮动模型的分析,给出政府对大宗农产品定价上浮的充分条件、保价的必要条件和与大宗农产品销售价格相关的下调幅度。由此得出了政府采取的对大宗农产品价格上浮、保价以及价格下调时的宏观调控策略建议,这些建议可以使政府对大宗农产品定价调控政策更加合理科学。图1,参5。     

基于动态面板回归的基金业绩决定因素

基于我国61家股票型基金200406～200803的16个季度面板数据,使用动态面板回归模型对数据进行了探索性建模,研究了政策性资产配置和基金经理对基金业绩的贡献.主要发现有:① 政策性资产配置与基金业绩之间的关系显著,在控制其他因素的情况下,基金资产配置能力提高1%,约能提高基金业绩0.8%;② 基金经理的学历、年龄、从业时间和从业背景对基金业绩的贡献显著,但贡献度不大;③ 基金业绩存在可能的”反转”现象,反转周期估计半年.     

生产能力变异性对供应链牛鞭效应的影响

分析了工厂生产能力分别服从正态分布、指数分布和β分布,并且需求为一阶自回归AR(1)过程的情况下,生产能力变异性对供应链中牛鞭效应的影响。所得结论为:①工厂生产能力的变异性可以导致牛鞭效应;②工厂生产能力的增大本身可以缓冲需求不确定性对供应链中牛鞭效应的影响,但生产能力的变异性对牛鞭效应的影响比生产能力大小对牛鞭效应的影响更敏感。     

含位置参数的广义Weibull分布及其置信限估计

通过引入位置参数,建立了能够同时描述浴盆曲线失效率和最大安全寿命的广义Weibull分布模型族,进而采用秩分布理论给出确定该寿命分布族置信限估计的参数化方法。具体分析了目前广泛应用的一种广义Weibull分布,导出该模型参数的置信区间估计与分布函数的置信上、下限曲线函数关系式。文中还进行了模拟验证与实例对比分析。     

区域经济现代管理发展过程与要素系统分析

应用系统科学思想对区域经济现代管理进行了系统分析,论述了区域经济管理的系统发展过程、系统内涵与特点、系统要素分析。     

基于前景理论的订货问题

针对需求不确定条件下的订货问题,传统订货模型都是基于期望效用理论,该理论假设决策者是完全理性的,这不符合决策者的现实决策行为,而前景理论正是描述不确定条件下个体实际决策行为的理论。应用前景理论,针对需求不确定条件下零售商的订货行为,建立了新订货模型,并与传统订货模型做了实证比较分析。结果表明,在我国早餐订货过程中,零售商并不是完全理性的,其倾向于风险规避,会适度减少订货量,基于前景理论的订货模型能够更好的描述零售商的订货行为。     

基于顾客-销售商互动反馈的库存控制策略仿真

针对服务水平影响顾客潜在需求和销售商库存水平的复杂系统问题,运用服从特定分布的离散随机数模拟市场中受销售商历史服务水平影响的顾客反馈需求,建立以总销售利润最大为目标的销售商库存系统动力学仿真模型模拟顾客-销售商间的互动反馈关系,基于STELLA软件动态模拟服务水平控制策略下库存系统中物流和信息流的传递和反馈。最后的实例仿真结果验证了模型和算法的合理有效性,指出了敏感型销售商与固执型销售商在面对不同顾客需求时的绩效差异,这也表明了提出的算法在现代商品销售中的实用性。

Abstract：

A System Dynamics-based modeling methodology for inventory management simulation was developed to realize the relationships between stochastic customer demand influenced by service level and dealer inventory.In the model,total cost was substituted by total sales profit as the end objective of dealer inventory management decisions.The SD program STELLA was used to simulate the feedback between customer and dealer dynamically.The simulation model was validated by realistic data and several cases were studied.The difference of operating performance between sensitive dealer and inflexible dealer was revealed.     

SBA中PLM的研究与应用

以一种典型的产品生命周期管理(PLM)软件--SmarTeam为例,研究了基于仿真的采办(SBA)中PLM的应用.PLM用于管理SBA中的不同资源,共享产品数据.此外,从三个方面扩展了PLM:首先,使用PLM的开发接口和ActiveX技术将PLM与Matlab集成,使用户可以在PLM中浏览Matlab生成的控制系统文件;其次,使用PLM的工具以及PLM和MS Project的开发接口将PLM与Project集成,提高了PLM的项目管理功能;最后,使用PLM工具并设置SBA资源建立SBA权限控制模型,使PLM可以管理SBA系统的所有权限.PLM的应用及扩展使其可以更好的支撑SBA系统,同时解决了SBA复杂权限管理的问题.
