信息不对称下，“中药材全产业链服务商”模式对中药材价格的影响研究

Description中医药是中华文明的瑰宝，中药材是中医药文化和产业的核心。随着近年来国家相关政策出台，中药材产业的发展备受瞩目。由于中药材产业链条长，层级多，各层级间信息不对称，因而中药材市场普遍具有“假”、“乱”、“杂”的问题。

A公司的中药材全产业链服务商模式，通过对上游各主要专营商的整合，形成一定的平台综合集采能力，并开始得到下游医药厂家、药店认可，在市场逐步形成品牌号召力。本文实证研究A公司商业模式的转型对中药材市场价格的影响，进而分析中药材全产业链服务商模式在中药材行业健康发展中所发挥的积极作用。研究结果表明，上下游产销结合的中药材全产业链服务商模式，只有在形成一定收购规模，对市场价格产生一定影响的时候，才能充分释放药材质量的信号，润滑药材交易市场，提高收购价格，增加市场波动率，发挥价格发现作用。由于中药材市场的信息不对称程度较高，如果产销结合模式仍处于初级开创阶段，产销结合模式释放的药材质量信号则不足以全面改善信息不对称的状况。

This study investigates the impact of a specific organizational form – partnership – on employees’ awareness of risk control and job engagement in securities companies. Given that their organizational performance relies heavily on the performance of individual employees, it is critical for securities companies in China to adopt appropriate organizational forms so that they can better captalize on their employees’ human capital to cope with the increasingly intense market competition. Partnership, as one of the few organizational forms, has been widely adopted in industries that rely on the performance of individuals, such as law, auditing, consulting, and investment banking, around the world. In the context of China’s emerging economy, it has also been adopted as an incentive system by market leaders across several industries, including Alibaba in online shopping, Vanke in real estate, and Fosun in investments. In contrast, partnership has not been adopted or implemented by securities companies in China as most of them are still state-owned enterprises.

Based on my review of the corporate governance literature and qualitative analysis of partnership adoption in China, I propose that partnership can help better alighn the interests of employees with owners in securities companies as well. Specifically, the prospect of becoming a partner in the future can improve employees’ awareness of risk control and increase their job engagement. Taking advantage of partnership adoption at a Chinese securities company as a natural field experienment, I surveyed its employees about their awareness of risk contrl and job dedication before and after the adoption. The results from 505 matched surveys showed an increase in the average scores of both awareness of risk control and job dedication after the company adopted partnership as a new organizational form. Findings of this study have important implications for organizational and incentive design for securities companies in China.
