Investigating the technology catching-up trajectory of Chinese Hi-Tech SMEs: an integrated framework from industry-, resource-, and institution-based view
Accepted for WLICSMB 2010Purpose This paper intends to review the literatures on the technology catching-up trajectory of latecomers in order to understand the innovation strategies of Chinese Hi-Tech SMEs (Gu & Tse, 2010; Xie & White, 2006; Chen & Qu, 2003; Lee & Lim, 2001; Kim, 1997). It also tries to construct an integrated framework to investigate their innovation strategies and the impact on organizational performance from the Industry-, Resource-, and Institution-based view (Peng, Wang, & Jiang, 2008). Design/methodology/approach The authors have reviewed papers published in the leading journals in the R&D field and proposed an integrated conceptual framework of innovation strategies of Chinese Hi-Tech firms based on Peng, Wang and Jiang (2008)’s institution-based view framework to examine the innovation strategy from Industry-, firm-specific Resource-based, and Institution-based View Originality/Value This paper pays attention to the institution factors in shaping Chinese SMEs to develop innovative capabilities. Chinese firms have comparative advantages, such as better comprehending Chinese local market, better understanding of local business environment comparing to MNEs. Our paper argues that by developing effective innovation strategies and improving innovative capabilities, Chinese SMEs will be able to survive from the severe competitions from state-owned enterprises and foreign firms in China
Block Spin Ground State and 3-Dimensionality of (K,Tl)FeSe
The magnetic properties and electronic structure of (K,Tl)y Fe1.6 Se2 is
studied using first-principles calculations. The ground state is checkerboard
antiferromagnetically coupled blocks of the minimal Fe4 squares, with a large
block spin moment ~11.2{\mu}B . The magnetic interactions could be modelled
with a simple spin model involving both the inter- and intra-block, as well as
the n.n. and n.n.n. couplings. The calculations also suggest a metallic ground
state except for y = 0.8 where a band gap ~400 - 550 meV opens, showing an
antiferromagnetic insulator ground state for (K,Tl)0.8 Fe1.6 Se2 . The
electronic structure of the metallic (K,Tl)y Fe1.6 Se2 is highly 3-dimensional
with unique Fermi surface structure and topology. These features indicate that
the Fe-vacancy ordering is crucial to the physical properties of (K,Tl)y Fe2-x
Se2 .Comment: Magnetic coupling constants double checked, journal ref. adde
Control of lasing in fully chaotic open microcavities by tailoring the shape factor
We demonstrate experimentally that lasing in a semiconductor microstadium can
be optimized by controlling its shape. Under spatially uniform optical pumping,
the first lasing mode in a GaAs microstadium with large major-to-minor-axis
ratio usually corresponds to a high-quality scar mode consisting of several
unstable periodic orbits. Interference of waves propagating along the
constituent orbits may minimize light leakage at particular major-to-minor-axis
ratio. By making stadium of the optimum shape, we are able to maximize the mode
quality factor and align the mode frequency to the peak of the gain spectrum,
thus minimizing the lasing threshold. This work opens the door to control
chaotic microcavity lasers by tailoring the shape factor
