Insider trading potentially reveals proprietary information, allowing rivals to compete more effectively against the insiders' firm. This paper examines whether proprietary costs are associated with insiders' trading decisions and the profitability of their trades. Using a variety of approaches to identify proprietary information risk, I find proprietary costs significantly deter insiders' trading activities. The deterrence effect is more pronounced when insider trading is likely to be more informative to rivals. Specifically, trades by top executives, non-routine trades, and trades at low complexity firms are curbed to a greater extent by proprietary costs. Examining the mechanisms of this deterrence effect, I find firms with higher proprietary costs are more likely to impose insider trading restrictions, and insiders' trading decisions are more sensitive to proprietary costs when they have higher share ownership of the company. These results suggest insiders reduce trading activities not only due to firm policies, but also due to incentive alignment. Finally, when insiders trade despite higher proprietary costs, they earn significantly higher abnormal profits from their purchase transactions. Overall, this study suggests product market considerations are an important factor associated with insiders' trading decisions and profitability of their trades. These findings are likely to be of interest to regulators and corporate boards in setting insider trading policies, and help investors make investment decisions using insider trading signals.

This study aims to explore the impact of employee incentives on innovation in the Chinese inductive manufacturing industry. Using a sample of publicly listed inductive manufacturing companies in China, we construct a panel dataset spanning from 1994 to 2022 and employ a multiple regression model for empirical analysis. Our findings reveal that employee incentive programs have a significant positive effect on the performance of inductive companies in terms of inductive reliability experiments, and the number of patent applications, granted patents, and patent citations over the next two years. Particularly, the positive relationship between employee incentives and innovation is more pronounced in companies with higher ownership concentration. This study provides empirical evidence supporting the crucial role of employee incentives in facilitating corporate innovation in Chinese inductive manufacturing firms. Furthermore, the results provide valuable insights for firms in formulating stock ownership structures and employee incentive plans, as well as policy implications for developing China's high-end manufacturing industries.

Description如何提高员工的激励效应是本世纪人力资源管理的一个重大课题,对于处于竞争劣势地位的民营企业来说,激励员工、留住人才尤为重要。论文借鉴国内外对员工激励的一般理论和相关文献研究成果,从人力资源建设入手,首先总结了员工的基本特征及要求,随后对B网络公司进行实证研究,采用深度访谈与问卷调查的方法主要从以下几方面进行调研:员工的热情、工作满意度、员工沟通与合作、员工流失及对公司管理的满意度、薪酬满意度、晋升制度、增长机会、工作条件。通过问卷调查对B网络公司职工的激励因素进行梳理和整合,并从问卷统计结果中了解激励需求,进一步深入了解和掌握公司员工的实际需求和工作满意度,并审核公司员工激励管理制度,同时分析该公司的激励现状及存在问题。

B网络公司有150名员工接受了调查,实际回收问卷143份,其中有效问卷142份,问卷有效率为94.67%。调查发现,B网络公司员工的工作满意度不高,公司的管理理念也相对落后,与员工切身利益相关的薪酬设计存在不科学现象,晋升制度不合理导致成长机会缺乏。当公司的激励政策无法让其对工作满意度、公司的管理、薪资、晋升制度和员工的成长机会等感到满意时,那么如果有外部的跳槽机会或者创业条件,员工的企业忠诚度会下降,员工很有可能在适当时机离开原来的公司,人才流失不可避免。另外即使员工仍然选择继续留在原来的企业,但是其工作积极性因为付出与回报的不成正比差会导致员工消极怠工,员工的业绩和表现也会下降,不利于公司的长远发展。为验证以上假设,论文运用调研问卷和统计分析方法验证股权激励、员工忠诚度与业绩之间的相互关系假设。通过信度和效度检验进而确定最终问卷的有效性与合理性。论文检验发现:员工忠诚度对员工绩效有显着的正面影响;股权激励对员工绩效有显着的正向影响;员工忠诚度对股权激励计划与绩效影响之间的关系具有积极影响。

通过有效的激励制度激励员工,满足他们的需求,充分发掘、利用和发展员工的创造力和潜力,激发员工的工作热情,提高员工的满意度从而加强员工的忠诚度和业绩对现代人力资源管理的发展具有较好的理论意义和实践价值。论文从股权激励机制设计,企业文化,成长激励机制,沟通机制等方面对现行激励政策提出改进建议,进而为B网络公司有效降低员工流失率,增加工作积极性,充分发挥员工自己的才能,激发员工的创造力和工作潜力,这有助于为该公司未来发展提供强大的人力资本战略支撑,同时也为完善现代企业制度建设,改善合理的分配制度与构建科学员工价值观提供了一个实证案例。

Description2008年金融危机以来,全球一大批企业因现金流短缺而破产或濒临破产,流动性短缺由金融机构蔓延至实体经济,给企业的正常运转造成巨大冲击,致使企业陷入资金紧张、融资困难的境地。在此情况下,持有适量现金对企业而言就显得尤为重要,本文也发现经济总量居世界前二的中美两国,其本土企业的现金持有水平逐年上升。

然而,企业持有现金规模的上升也会导致两大问题的产生:第一,持有较多的现金就意味着必须削减当期投资支出,在未来投资机会存在较大不确定性的情况下,这种持币等待会加大公司的经营风险,并限制公司的成长能力;第二,由于现金是最容易被侵占和攫取的资产,高额现金持有可能成为经理人获取私利或大股东掏空的猎物,从而引发了高昂的代理成本。在军民融合这一国家战略背景下,对于转型阶段的中国军工企业而言,上述两大矛盾在这一轮改革红利中也显得尤为突出。军工企业作为我国国防建设和经济建设的一员大将,是我国国防的重要支撑,承担着为人民军队和民兵提供各种所需武器装备和民品的重要任务。而技术创新是军工企业赖以生存的原动力,失去了技术创新的军工企业将给国家带来无法估量的灾难。但是军工企业的创新活动需要大量的资金支持,中小型军工企业因融资约束问题所导致的研发投入少、创新水平低在当下便显得较为严峻。

基于以上理论与现实背景,本文对我国军工上市企业的融资约束、流动性管理与企业创新等问题进行了深入研究,结果发现:(1)军工企业的融资约束与公司现金持有水平间具有显著的正向关联性,融资约束程度越高,企业持有现金及其等价物越多;(2)样本企业的融资约束问题也抑制了研发投入,融资约束程度越高,研发投入的资金越少;(3)通过调节效应模型,作者检验并证实了样本中企业持有更多的现金及其等价物可有效改善融资约束对研发投入的负向抑制作用。最后,根据本文实证得出的结论,并考虑到中国军工行业的发展现状,提出了相应的政策建议以缓解融资约束对军工企业的负面影响。

Description当前,民营企业已成为中国重要支撑力量,而未来5到10年,约有300多万家民营企业面临传承困境。但学术研究领域在传承整体框架、配套机制建设方面有完整论述、有成功案例的所见不多。首先,针对以上民营企业的传承现状,本文将研究、回答五个问题:1、成功传承的标准和要素是什么?2、传承模式有哪几种,每种模式配套的传承机制是什么,该如何建立?3、民营企业应选择何种传承模式,如何选择?4、民营企业的整套传承方案如何落地搭建?5、是否有普适性的、可借鉴的民营企业传承模型,包含哪些要素?
其次,本文主要使用文献研究、案例研究、实证分析,选取中、美、德、日四家不同传承阶段、不同传承模式的知名民营企业,对其传承情况进行深入研究。在此基础上,归纳总结出传承的关键要素,对前述五个问题进行系统解答。同时,本文创新性地结合理论研究、案例研究及企业实践,提出适合我国大部分民营企业的传承全周期管理框架。
最后,根据以上研究,本文总结出关于中国民营企业传承的八大结论及建议:1、本质:权力的交接和义务的传递;2、两大风险:继任风险(继任人的能力要求)、代理风险(继任人对企业核心理念的意愿/忠诚度);3、降低风险的四大机制:领袖锻造、人才梯队、管控治理、激励机制;4、两大成功要素:“选领袖”和“建机制”;5、四大机制是并行推进、相辅相成的,要尽早构建、持续优化;6、三大模式:家族成员继承、内生培养经理人、外聘职业经理人;7、民营企业传承模型包含七大要素、五大步骤;8、民营企业在制定传承方案时,除了要注意传承模型中的要素,还要注意其他关键要素。
