FOSTERING A MARKET ORIENTATION: THE IMPACT OF ORGANISATIONAL CULTURE

Yuhui Gao,Mengxia Zhang 글로벌지식마케팅경영학회 2016 Global Marketing Conference Vol.2016 No.7

A market-oriented culture remains a source of competitive advantage for organisations. Despite calls for an integrated research perspective on the linkage between organisational culture and market orientation (e.g., Deshpande and Webster 1989; Deshpande and Farley 2004), scholars have made limited attempts to examine the relationship between the two concepts. The objective of this study is to investigate what kind of organisational culture encourages and rewards market orientation behaviours. A structured survey was administered to 870 senior managers attending part-time EMBA programmes in prestigious business schools in China. A total of 370 completed questionnaires were returned, representing a response rate of 43 percent. The research findings suggested that different organisational cultures have different impacts on market orientation. Specifically, the results indicate that an adhocracy and a market culture facilitate the development of a market orientation, while a hierarchical culture hinders market orientation behaviours. However, the hypothesised negative relationship between a clan culture and a market orientation was not supported. This study seeks to extend the literature by responding to Deshpande and Webster ’s (1989) call for an integrated research of organisational culture and marketing. Besides its theoretical contributions, this study also offers some important insights for leaders of organisations. As organisations are driving to become more market-oriented, leaders need to understand why certain organisational cultures exist and their impact on market orientation practices. Although this research provides interesting insights on the understanding of market-oriented organisational culture, it is important to recognise the limitations of the research. Culture is a complex system of norms and values that develops over time and influences organisational processes and behaviours (Hurley and Hult 1998; Schneider and Rentsch 1988). On the other hand, time affects market orientation in a number of ways, such as lagged or cumulative effects during the implementation of a market-oriented strategy (Gauzente 2001). The inclusion of

Some long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), which harbor microRNAs in their gene sequence and are also known as microRNA host gene derived lncRNAs (lnc-MIRHGs), play a dominant role alongside miRNAs, or both perform biological functions synergistically or independently. However, only a small number of lnc-MIRHGs have been identified. Here, multiple liver injury datasets were analyzed to screen and identify the target lncRNA Mir122hg. Mir122hg was mainly enriched in liver tissues with human-mouse homology. In both CCl4-induced acute liver injury and Dgal/LPS-induced fulminant liver failure in mice, Mir122hg was sharply downregulated at the early stage, while a subsequent significant increase was only found in the CCl4 group with liver recovery. Overexpression and silencing assays confirmed that Mir122hg played a protective role in acute injury by promoting hepatocyte proliferation in vivo and in vitro. Consistent with the results of gene enrichment analysis, Mir122hg binding to C/EBPα affected its transcriptional repression, promoted gene transcription of downstream chemokines, Cxcl2, Cxcl3, and Cxcl5, and exerted pro-proliferative effects on hepatocytes through activation of the AKT/GSK-3β/p27 signaling pathway by CXC/CXCR2 complexes. This study identifies a novel lncRNA with protective effects in acute liver injury and demonstrates that the binding of Mir122hg-C/EBPα promotes hepatocyte proliferation via upregulation of CXC chemokine and activation of AKT signaling.

Based on the characteristic parameters of a noise discrimination network (NDN), the Mardiguian network is used as an example to investigate the influence of stray capacitance on the performance of the NDN. The obtained results show that stray capacitance has a significant effect on the performance of the NDN. Considering the influence of stray capacitance, this paper proposes a network optimization method based on the Mardiguian network. The optimization method is superior to the Mardiguian network in performance, and it improves the separation accuracy of differential mode noise.

Bimetallic Au–Sn/AC catalysts for acetylene hydrochlorination

Yanzhao Dong,Haiyang Zhang,Wei Li,Mengxia Sun,Cuili Guo,Jinli Zhang 한국공업화학회 2016 Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Vol.35 No.-

A series of Au–Sn/AC catalysts for acetylene hydrochlorination were prepared by an incipient wetnessimpregnation method and characterized by BET, XPS, TEM, TPR, XRD, ICP-AES and TPD techniques. It isindicated that Au1Sn1/AC catalyst shows the highest activity and stability with the 95% acetyleneconversion after 48 h reaction under the conditions of 170 8C and an acetylene gas hourly space velocityof 720 h 1. The Sn additive can make the Au species dispersed well and weaken the occurrence of cokedeposition, as well as inhibit the reduction of Au3+ to Au0, thereby improving the catalytic activity andstability.

肥胖的增长已经达到流行病的程度,成为中国最严重的公共卫生问题之一,人们对肥胖的偏见也在增加。但就中国而言,BMI 和收入之间的关系还没有得到研究。本文揭示了收入与身体质量指数BMI (Body Mass index)之间存在显著的正相关,以及男女之间的差异。这项研究一定程度上弥补了相关前研究的缺憾,并提供了性别之间BMI 关系的分析和定量数据。研究还考察了工作地点、婚姻状况、工作经验、工作类型和BMI 稳定性等变量如何影响和降低BMI-收入关系的显著性。 The growth of obesity has reached epidemic levels, becoming one of China’s most severe public health issues, while prejudice against obesity is also on the rise. However, the association between Body Mass Index (BMI) and income remains underexplored in China. This study unveils a positive correlation between income and BMI, highlighting gender disparities. It contributes to existing literature by providing analytical and quantitative insights into the BMI-income relationship by gender. Moreover, it examines how variables such as workplace location, marital status, work experience, job type, and BMI stability affect and diminish the significance of the BMI-income relationship in China.

本文选择上海GDP 作为经济指标,对上海世博会对上海经济的影响进行了计算评价和定量分析。首先,对上海世博会对上海GDP 的影响进行纵向评价。建立了上海世博会对其GDP 影响的周期性增长趋势模型。其次,对上海世博会对上海GDP 的影响进行横向评价。本文随机选取八届世博会和上海世博会作为研究对象。五个可衡量的指标是参展国家、参观人数、展览面积和上海世博会前后的GDP情况。通过模糊聚类分析,得到了上海世博会对上海GDP 影响的横向评价模型。利用模糊C 均值聚类算法(FCA),得出上海世博会与大阪世博会属于同一类别的结论。 This paper conducts a computational evaluation and quantitative analysis of the impact of the Shanghai Expo on the economy of Shanghai, utilizing Shanghai’s GDP as the primary economic indicator. Initially, a vertical assessment of the Shanghai Expo’s influence on Shanghai’s GDP is undertaken, establishing a trend model that shows a periodic increase in the Expo’s impact on GDP. Subsequently, a horizontal evaluation of the Shanghai Expo’s impact on Shanghai’s GDP is performed, focusing on the Shanghai Expo alongside eight other Expos as research subjects. Five measurable indicators—participating countries, attendance numbers, exhibition area, and pre- and post-Shanghai Expo GDP situations—are selected for analysis. Utilizing fuzzy clustering analysis, a horizontal impact evaluation model of the Shanghai Expo on Shanghai’s GDP is developed. The study concludes that the Shanghai Expo and the Osaka Expo fall within the same classification using the Fuzzy C-mean Clustering Algorithm (FCA).
