The role of social capital in the development of chinese family business: the case of Chengxin Group
JEL: M10With the further deepening of economic globalization, Chinese family business will face
more intense competitive market environment. In order to survive and develop, they must
continue to carry out activities with independent innovation and entrepreneurship. Therefore,
a basic and important question is how the family business achieves the sustainable
development, the ongoing success of innovation, entrepreneurial activities and ultimately
realizing their own diversified development? This study is based on the relevant research,
following the idea of "social capital - resources- enterprise development" and made the
"social capital of family business and enterprise development" as the research's main line. By
the in-depth analysis of the development process of Chengxin Group, this study put forward
that social capital is an intangible resources and productive elements which cannot be ignored
in the development process of family business. By embedding in the organization and
individual entrepreneurs, social capital affects the governance and development direction of
family business.Com o aprofundamento da globalização, as empresas familiares chinesas enfrentarão
uma maior concorrência. Para que possam sobreviver e crescer, devem continuar a
desenvolver atividades inovadoras e empreendedoras. Contudo, uma questão importante a
colocar é como as empresas familiares conseguem um desenvolvimento sustentável no quadro
da inovação, de atividades empreendedoras e diversificação das suas atividades? Esta tese tem
por base a teoria “capital social- recursos-desenvolvimento da empresa” e investiga o papel do
capital social no desenvolvimento das empresas familiares. Baseando-se no estudo da
empresa familiar Chengxin Group, esta tese confirma que o capital social constitui um ativo
muito importante no desenvolvimento das empresas familiares. Embrenhando-se na
empresa e nos empresários, o capital socialafeta o modo de governança das empresas
familiares
Application of Nanotechnology in Post-treatment of Automobile Tail Gas Nitrogen Oxides
Nano-catalyst has a very high catalytic activity and has a good prospect in automobile exhaust gas purifi cation. Thispaper summarizes the research status of nano-scale automobile exhaust gas purifi cation catalytic materials in recentyears, focusing on the analysis of the structure and performance of several components in the tail gas catalyst afternano-scale, and discusses its existing problems and application trends
Effect of an auxiliary acceptor on D–A–π–A sensitizers for highly efficient and stable dye-sensitized solar cells
As one of the promising photovoltaic technologies, high performance metal-free dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have been explored due to the fact that they can be potentially produced using low-cost materials, their color can be tuned and they exhibit reasonable stability.</p
The gut microbiome: A line of defense against tuberculosis development
The tuberculosis (TB) burden remains a significant global public health concern, especially in less developed countries. While pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) is the most common form of the disease, extrapulmonary tuberculosis, particularly intestinal TB (ITB), which is mostly secondary to PTB, is also a significant issue. With the development of sequencing technologies, recent studies have investigated the potential role of the gut microbiome in TB development. In this review, we summarized studies investigating the gut microbiome in both PTB and ITB patients (secondary to PTB) compared with healthy controls. Both PTB and ITB patients show reduced gut microbiome diversity characterized by reduced Firmicutes and elevated opportunistic pathogens colonization; Bacteroides and Prevotella were reported with opposite alteration in PTB and ITB patients. The alteration reported in TB patients may lead to a disequilibrium in metabolites such as short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production, which may recast the lung microbiome and immunity via the “gut-lung axis”. These findings may also shed light on the colonization of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the gastrointestinal tract and the development of ITB in PTB patients. The findings highlight the crucial role of the gut microbiome in TB, particularly in ITB development, and suggest that probiotics and postbiotics might be useful supplements in shaping a balanced gut microbiome during TB treatment
