Comments on the 'China model'

This paper reviews the articles by Pan and by Zhu on the China Model. The review of Pan is critical, that of Zhu sympathetic. Pan is criticised for taking an unquestioning attitude towards state supporting ideologies and failing to adequately account for the effects of changes in family structure and class structure in China over the past 50 years. The reviewer broadly agrees with Zhu's comments about a future steady state economy. The article provides statistical data from the recent economic and demographic histories of China and Japan to back up the general conclusions drawn by Zhu

On the Legal Execution View of Zhu Xi 's Strict Legal Theory

本文试图展现朱熹之法律执行观作为其法律思想体系的一部分所展现出的理论与实践品格。本文试图从理论与实践相结合的角度入手阐释朱熹法律执行思想的内涵，并通过朱熹与先秦儒家、法家的对比阐释朱熹法律执行思想的时代意义。本文所采用的方法是制度史与思想史相互印证以及比较的方法。本文主要分为五章： 第一章概述朱熹之德、礼、政、刑的规范理念，并将之作为朱熹法律执行观之理论背景。通过对其无为化民、德本礼末、养民之政等三方面的阐述，揭示其以“德”为核心的治道体系：“德”经由礼、政、刑的辅助、保障作用，进而落实为“养民”“爱民”的现实治理理路。 第二章通过对其法律执行观中佛教因果报应说、犯罪人立场、钦恤的错误理解...This paper attempts to show the theory and practice of Zhu Xi 's view of legal execution as part of its legal system.

Lê Quý Đônova teorija li-qi

This paper discusses the work of Lê Quý Đôn (1726–1784), a prominent scholar of Later Lê Vietnam who was deeply influenced by Song-Ming Neo-Confucianism. Lê’s masterwork, the Classified Discourses from Yun Terrace (Yuntai leiyu 芸臺類語, Vân đài loại ngữ), exemplifies this intellectual heritage. This essay considers the text’s first volume in light of Zhu Xi’s theory of li-qi. While drawing deeply from Zhu Xi’s theory of an inseparable li-qi, Lê’s concept of li-qi ultimately originated in Han dynasty qi-transformative cosmology. Also influenced by a Vietnamese tradition of Three Teachings syncretism, Lê integrated Neo-Confucianism with Han cosmology to create a unique li-qi theory.Članek obravnava delo priznanega učenjaka Lê Quýja Đôna (1726–1784) s konca vietnamske dinastije Le, na katerega je močno vplivalo neokonfucijanstvo dinastij Song in Ming. Ta idejna zapuščina se kaže v Lejevem mojstrskem delu Razvrščene razprave iz terase Vinske rutice (Yuntai leiyu 芸臺類語, Vân đài loại ngữ). Članek obravnava prvi zvezek tega dela, in sicer na podlagi Zhu Xijeve teorije o liju in qiju. Čeprav je Lê Quý Đôn izhajal iz Zhu Xijeve teorije o neločljivosti lija in qija, Lejev koncept lija in qija izvira iz transformativne kozmologije, ki se je razvila v dinastiji Han. Le je pod vplivom vietnamske tradicije sinkretizma Treh naukov neokonfucijanstvo povezal s hansko kozmologijo ter ustvaril edinstveno teorijo lija in qija

Towards a Model of Determinants of Web Services Platform Adoption by Complementers

The recent surge of interest in web services has called attention to the increasingly intense competition between owners of the platforms on which these services run. Given that widely adopted operating systems and middleware platforms have yielded sizable economic returns for their owners, many web services platform owners are aggressively pursuing strategies that can give them a competitive advantage and, it is hoped, similarly sizable returns. A review of the broader literature on software platform competition reveals widespread acceptance of network effect theory as an explanatory framework. Network effect theory posits that the value of a software platform to a potential user is associated positively with the number of existing users of the platform (who generate direct network effects) and the number of developers of complementary software applications (who generate indirect network effects) (see, e.g., Katz and Shapiro, 1986; Zhu et al., 2006). Users realize direct network effects when, for example, they share compatible files with other users (Gao and Iyer, 2006; Lin and Kulatilaka, 2006) or participate in ???trading communities??? (Zhu et al., 2006). Indirect network effects are realized through the availability of useful, innovative and compatible software applications (Lin and Kulatilaka, 2006). Users of widely adopted software platforms also gain value from the reduced likelihood of being ???stranded with a failed and unsupported platform??? and consequent switching costs (Gallaugher and Wang, 2002, p. 306). In the presence of network effects, then, software platform owners pursue strategies that will secure them an ???installed base??? of users and complementers that is sufficiently large to attract more and more new users (Shapiro and Varian, 1998; Suarez, 2005). While one set of strategies is aimed at promoting adoption by new users, another set emphasizes the value generated for users by indirect network effects and aims instead at promoting adoption by complementers. (This distinction reflects the idea that platform markets are two-sided, with (end) users populating one side and complementers populating the other.) There appears to be considerably more research on strategies for increasing user adoption (see Gallaugher and Wang (2002), von Westarp (2003) and Zhu and Iansiti (2007) for reviews) than on complementer adoption strategies. Nonetheless, three studies of the latter merit mentioning here. First, in their study of the U.S. video game industry from 1976 to 2002, Venkatraman and Lee (2003) find that platform dominance (i.e., largest installed base), together with complementers??? path dependency and level of experience with platform architecture, largely determine platform adoption by complementers. Second, in his investigation of how software platform owners maintain a balance between ???adoption and appropriation,??? West (2003) concludes that software platform owners who disclose some proprietary code will attract more complements (thereby fostering innovation), but cautions against disclosing any code that confers a competitive advantage. Finally, Cusumano and Gawer???s (2002) landmark study of Intel???s platform management strategies culminated in the endorsement of four ???levers??? for platform leadership, with one of these levers aimed at managing relations with ???external complementers???. Specific strategies include building a consensus on technical specifications and standards, handling potential conflicts of interest and letting complementers keep any intellectual property they develop on the platform. Both West (2003) and Cusumano and Gawer (2002) also underscore the importance of providing complementers with an interface to connect to the platform. Beyond West???s (2003, p. 1260) suggestion that software platform owners ???create and evolve application programming interfaces (APIs),??? though, the varied ways in which these APIs might influence a complementer???s choice to adopt have not been sufficiently explored by these or other authors. The research-in-progress described in the following section aims to bolster the somewhat scant literature on software platform adoption by complementers. More specifically, the proceeding research design outlines a proposed investigation of the determinants of complementer adoption of geo-mapping web services platforms. The reasons for including independent variables are discussed, and some methodological details are introduced. The paper concludes with a brief discussion of anticipated outcomes of the study

China?s challenge: The opportunities and risks that China?s booming economy provides

The capability of designing to very low cost, and to compete successfully in the tough Chinese market can be transformed into a competitive advantage in other markets. On the other hand, MNCs that are not successfully in China will probably not acquire these capabilities. They will be in a cost disadvantage to compete against Chinese companies in their own markets. They run the risk of becoming secondary players to Chinese companies in the world market, as those competing in the microwave-ovens market against Galanz found out the hard way. MNCs have no choice; they have to accept ?China?s challenge? to continue world players. They have to win in China or lose everywhere.China?s challenge, win in China or lose everywhere, risks to China?s future growth, China?s entrepreneurs, China?s disruptive innovation
