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
Chinese commercial banks have experienced a period of fast and stable development since 2007. The adoption of a comprehensive enterprise risk management (ERM) system based on the Basel Accords was a significant event for the banking supervisory authority and the commercial banks during this period. This study investigates the impact of ERM adoption on the financial performance of the commercial banks as well as the underlying mechanisms using longitudinal data of 96 commercial banks from 2007 to 2016. Results from quantitative analyses suggest the following findings. First, ERM adoption had a positive impact on commercial banks’ financial performance after controlling for the negative impacts of factors such as macro economic conditions and fiscal and monetary policies. Second, although this positive impact was partially attributed to increased risk appetite after the adoption of ERM, results show that ERM adoption also increased risk-adjusted financial performance. Lastly, ERM adoption improved commercial banks’ competence in risk management, as indicated by their sensitivity of financial returns to risk exposures. The above findings also received support from interviews and surveys of senior executives of commercial banks and officials of the banking supervisory authorities.
This study contributes to the understanding of how the adoption of ERM influences the financial performance of Chinese commercial banks, and has important practical implications. Based on the empirical findings, I recommend all commercial banks in China to adopt and implement ERM so that they can better cope with the challenges presented by macroeconomic uncertainty, marketization, and internationalization. In the process, it is critical for them to understand the mechanisms through which ERM influences their performance. Meanwhile, they shall be aware of the operational costs associated with the initial adoption of ERM, learn from the experiences of those that have already adopted ERM, and have a long-term orientation about performance effect of ERM adoption. Supervisory authorities can also play a key role in guiding commercial banks to be more effective and efficient in the adoption of ERM.

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
With the increasing aging population in China, the public's emphasis on health has been on the rise. Many innovative pharmaceutical companies have undertaken multiple rounds of financing, with some going public through IPOs. As a high-tech industry, it is essential to study the relationship between the level of corporate publicity and the financing process.This study collected information on the number of promotional articles, timing, and platforms of dozens of pharmaceutical companies that have already gone public through IPOs using Python. An analysis was conducted on the temporal variations of promotional articles for ten representative companies. It was found that the number of promotional articles experienced a significant increase in the month of IPO or the month before, and remained relatively high even after the IPO.
Furthermore, the Pearson correlation coefficient method was used to analyze the correlation between the number of promotional articles and various stages of financing. The study found a positive correlation between the daily average number of promotional articles before IPO and the final financing amount. Additionally, a strong positive correlation was observed between the daily average number of promotional articles from 7 days before IPO to IPO day and the turnover rate on IPO day. Grey correlation analysis was also employed to analyze the impact of publicity on the financing amount of each

financing round, revealing that the financing round and the Shanghai Composite Index had a significant influence.
Finally, a multiple regression analysis was conducted to examine the relationship between the pre-IPO financing scale, IPO-day trading amount, and the level of corporate publicity. The regression results indicated that the pre-IPO financing scale was mainly influenced by the number of promotional articles in the 7 days preceding IPO, particularly for pharmaceutical companies listed on the A-share market. Moreover, a negative correlation was observed between the financing round and the financing amount, particularly among companies that experienced a decline in share price on the IPO day. However, the study found a weak association between the IPO-day trading amount and the level of corporate publicity, primarily observed among pharmaceutical companies listed on the A-share market.

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竞争日益激烈的市场环境对企业管理者提出了更高的挑战，首席执行官(CEO)作为企业管理层的核心，其个人特征对企业绩效有着重要影响。已有研究主要基于高阶理论，系统研究了CEO具体特征对企业战略选择及其绩效的影响。但是已有研究较为零散，并且大多数集中在CEO人口统计学特征，对其政治联系、受教育年限、社会关系和人格特质等关注较少。基于此，本文结合高阶理论和信号理论，深入分析CEO个人特征对其绩效的影响，并且探讨了CEO结构权力在CEO个人特征与其绩效关系之间发挥的调节作用。
在文献回顾和案例研究基础上，首先，从CEO人口统计学特征、政治联系、受教育年限、职业特征、社会关系和人格特质等6个维度构建了CEO个人特征指标，将CEO上任后前3年营业收入年均增长率和利润年均增长率作为衡量CEO业绩的衡量指标，并提出了10个研究假设。其次，基于问卷调查数据，采用多元线性回归方法，对研究假设进行了验证和分析。实证结果表明，CEO性别、政治联系、受教育年限、社会关系和人格特质（外向性、开放性和宜人性）均对CEO绩效具有显著影响，而CEO年龄和多样化的职业特征对其绩效具有显著的负向影响。此外，CEO的结构权力在受教育年限、社会关系与CEO绩效之间的关系中发挥着显著的正向调节作用，而在多样化职业特征与其绩效之间发挥着显著的负向调节作用。最后，本文从CEO多维度个人特征构建和CEO结构权力两方面深入阐述了理论贡献，结合企业实践提供了可操作化的建议和对策，并提出了本文存在的不足及未来研究展望。
