Description在我国绩效管理领域，国内企业目前大多仅适用客观评价指标，而往往忽略了更有弹性的主管评价等主观评价指标。但在世界范围内，随着绩效管理理论的不断发展，以平衡计分卡（BSC）为代表的新型绩效管理体系管理范围更加广泛，除了客观业绩之外，还将很多主观指标也纳入绩效评价系统内，并且得到了诸多跨国公司的引用。为了探究以主管评价为代表的主观指标与客观业绩之间的关系，本文以R公司为例，基于其内部的实际数据，分析了员工业绩与主管评价之间的相互关系。研究发现，员工历史客观业绩与主管评价呈正相关关系，且相较于员工长期客观业绩，这种关系在员工短期业绩中更加明显。基于此，研究还发现，主管历史评价与员工后期的客观业绩也呈正相关关系，且相较于前期主管评价，这种关系在当期主管评价中更加明显。除此之外，本文还发现主管和员工的性别差别和学历差别会同时减弱上述员工业绩与主管评价之间的正相关关系。综上，本文研究结果为企业设计和制定绩效考核标准提供了一定的参考，有助于企业更好地进行绩效体系的构建。

Description随着全球经济周期的波动，我国经济结构的调整，中美贸易冲突的长期趋势不变，加之新冠疫情导致的全球公共卫生紧急事件的影响，我国的经济环境形势日益严峻。根据最新统计数据显示，截止到2021年4月30日，我国证券交易市场被ST制度处理的ST公司已经超过250家之多，并且还在持续增加。上市公司是我国经济体系的重要组成部分，上市公司陷入困境不仅仅会影响上市公司的所有者，更会影响千千万万的雇佣员工，影响地方经济，影响行业上下游供应链的稳定，影响巨额债券持有者的金融机构投资者和公开交易市场上的大量中小股票投资者。
因此，如何帮助困境上市公司走出困境，实现再复兴就成为了我们迫切需要解决的问题。
随着不少困境上市公司通过破产重整的方式实现了再上市，再复兴，破产重整成为了我们研究困境上市公司实现复兴的重要有效方式。

Description
This paper analyzes China's transformative changes over the past four decades through a microeconomic lens focused on enterprises. Market-oriented non-state-owned enterprises have emerged as a pivotal force driving China's economic development within this context. The article investigates the determinants of their development. Notably, more than half of market-oriented non-state-owned enterprises have entered the inheritance stage, necessitating the exploration of novel attributes for sustained growth.The study's research scope is defined across four dimensions, with a specific focus on approximately 4,000 market-oriented non-state-owned enterprises. It investigates the driving factors behind sustained performance growth at various stages of these enterprises, emphasizing five variables: "partnership governance, entrepreneurial spirit, development strategy, incentive mechanisms, and innovation capability." Employing a combination of "typical case studies" and "group validation" methods, the research examines the factors influencing sustained growth in these enterprises and their interrelationships. The goal is to construct a model for enterprise succession and development, ultimately offering recommendations to foster sustained growth.
The research paper is structured into an introduction, literature review and theoretical foundation, typical case studies, empirical research on a group, and a conclusion.

Key findings include: Partnership governance positively impacts partners' entrepreneurial spirit, promoting sustained performance growth. Trajectory-oriented development strategies, effective incentive mechanisms, and leading innovation capabilities have a positive moderating effect on entrepreneurial spirit, fostering sustained performance growth. During the innovation development phase, partnership governance significantly influences entrepreneurial spirit with a noteworthy environmental moderation effect.
The paper recommends implementing a "Dual-Factor Improvement Model" that enhances both partnership governance systems and the selection and functioning mechanisms of entrepreneurial spirit partners. This approach aims to boost partners' entrepreneurial spirit and facilitate high-quality succession in market-oriented non-state-owned enterprises，，ultimately achieving sustained high-quality growth.
In conclusion, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of sustained performance growth in enterprises. It offers valuable insights for the succession and development of market-oriented non-state-owned enterprises and innovation-driven entrepreneurship. This research holds significant value in advancing sustained high-quality development among market-oriented non-state-owned enterprises in China, optimizing resource allocation, and nurturing talented individuals.

Description
The pharmaceutical industry plays an important role in Chinese economic development. How to propel the innovation and growth of the pharmaceutical industry with capital market tools becomes an important question. With the increasing layout of venture capital (VC) in the pharmaceutical industry, the impact of VC participation on the innovation and growth of pharmaceutical enterprises should be carefully studied. For investment purposes, CVCs, which are established by industrial corporations, mainly focus on new technologies and modes in the relevant industrial chain of their parent companies, and try to establish strategic synergy through their equity investment. IVCs have no specific industry restrictions, and their purpose is to search for and identify innovative enterprises with high growth potentials, and to harvest financial gains by investing in them.In order to explore these issues, this paper collects and analyzes data from a sample of Chinese A-share listed pharmaceutical companies from 2015 to 2022, tests the impact of VCs on the innovation inputs, innovation outputs, and growth performance of this sample of companies, and examines the differences between the impacts of IVCs and CVCs on the relevant performance. It is found that VC investment has a significant positive impact on pharmaceutical firms' innovation input, innovation output, and firm growth. In particular, IVCs have a significant positive effect on innovation input, growth performance, and an insignificant effect on innovation output of pharmaceutical firms.
CVCs, on the other hand, have a significant positive effect on innovation input, innovation output, and growth performance of pharmaceutical firms. In addition, the interaction between IVC and CVC can further enhance the innovation input level and growth performance level of pharmaceutical enterprises.
This paper uncovers the differences in the impact of IVCs and CVCs on the innovation input, innovation output, and growth performance of pharmaceutical enterprises, expands the research on venture capital, enriches the driving mechanism of pharmaceutical enterprises' high-quality growth and innovation capability in the Chinese context. This paper also provides some insights into how pharmaceutical enterprises select VCs and how VCs can empower pharmaceutical enterprises in practice.

Description从上世纪四十年代开始出现以来，风险投资对社会经济发展产生重要作用。风险投资是市场经济快速发展和科技变革过程中的产物，主要用于促进具有发展前景企业快速发展。风险投资已经有超过七十年的发展历史，很多发达国家在理论研究和实际应有方面都取得重大进展。相比之下，我国风险投资是从上世纪改革开放之处开始出现，只有三十多年的发展历史。我国市场经济已经逐步完善，资本市场开始进入快速发展时期，在时代发展中结合实际需求进一步的完善以及新经济领域的优秀创业企业不断涌现，我国风险投资市场也快速发展。
风险投资主要是针对具有较好发展前景的公司，大部分风险投资主要趋向于高科技企业。风险投资可以为我国中小微企业提供资源、风控和资金等不同方面的服务，这对推动我国社会经济发展和产业变革将产生积极影响。为此分析和研究风险投资对企业经营管理的影响具有重大理论意义，同时也具备一定的现实意义。
本文针对研究需求选取的研究对象是2012—2017年中国A股上市公司，采通过多元线性回归分析的方式，从企业管理角度来分析风险投资对企业高管薪酬——业绩敏感性的影响。在此基础上综合性的分析与检验风险投资的参与对于被投资企业高管薪酬——业绩敏感性是否有影响。研究结果表明：（1）高管薪酬与业绩正相关；（2）风险投资会影响企业激励制度，对高级管理人员股权激励将产生重要影响，被投资企业高管薪酬——业绩敏感性在风险投资作用下有一定程度提高。

Description多元化公司整体上市和分拆上市的理论与实践在国际市场已经较为成熟，而对于中国A股来说，分拆上市一直受制于政策；2019年以来，随着科创板的开启及A股将迎来的改革，多元化公司分拆上市也将迎来重要机遇。
多年来，学术界对于多元化公司在资本市场方面的研究主要聚焦于估值比较、相关影响因素以及整体上市和者分拆上市的法律、财务、风险等方面。而本文在已有理论基础上，从股权集中度、新兴行业、跨市场上市（A+H）三个方面研究中国多元化公司的整体或者分拆上市的行为选择，研究发现：大股东持股比例更高的公司更倾向于整体上市，新兴行业或者创新性的子公司更可能被分拆上市，跨多个股票市场上市的公司更倾向分拆上市子公司，这与委托代理理论和信息不对称理论的预测一致。
为了让研究更加全面并具实用性，本文加入了对中国平安集团和温氏集团的案例分析，还针对中介投行和研究人员的特定人群进行分析式调研，结果均较好支持了研究结论，使得本文的研究兼具理论创新和实际指导价值。

Description
This paper studies the spillover effect of star funds in the Chinese mutual fund market. I show that star funds can attract more capital inflows to their sibling funds (managed by same fund manager) and family funds (managed by same fund company). The spillover effect is stronger for sibling funds.Further, I propose two mechanisms of spillover effect of star funds. The first mechanism is related to investors’ limited attention and ability. Star funds can easily attract investors’ attention among numerous fund products. The high degree of attention of star funds makes their related funds (e.g., family funds and sibling funds) get more attention, thus attracting more capital flows. I show that the spillover effect of star funds to their sibling funds is stronger among funds with a higher proportion of individual investors. Due that individual investors are more limited in attention and more easily pay attention to sibling funds, the result thus verifies the mechanism to a certain extent.
The second mechanism is about performance correlation. Investors choose sibling or family funds of star funds because they expect their future performance to be as excellent as that of star funds. I find that the performance correlation between sibling funds and star funds is stronger than that between family funds and star funds. Combined with the result that the spillover effect of star funds on sibling funds is stronger than that on family funds, it verifies the mechanism to some extent.
This paper is of great significance for understanding the spillover effect of star funds.
