Skills that improve profitability:
The relationship between project management, IT skills, and small to medium enterprise profitability Abstract It is commonly assumed that using project management and IT skills are good for business performance. This research explored this assumption by testing whether the use of project management and IT skills have a positive affect on business' total sales and profitability. The research data was drawn from two longitudinal Government surveys of small to medium enterprises in Australia. Models were created to describe the relationship between project management, IT skills, profitability and total sales using multiple linear regression and binary logistic regression. The results show that when controlling for the influence of other business skills, project management and IT skills have a significant positive influence on sales and profitability.
Keywords:Project management; Information technology; Small to medium enterprise; Profitability; Sales; Business skills
1.Introduction
It is a basic and fundamental assumption that developing business skills in your employees improves the profitability of your business. Although it may be difficult to test each step in the long and diffuse causal chain from an improved employee skill set to a better bottom line, the link between developing employee capability and improved company performance is typically taken as so obvious that it is rarely questioned. This assumption is held for skills such as the ability to manage projects, where it is taken for granted that using project management to reach strategic and operational objectives improves performance. Similarly, we tend to assume that increased information technology (IT) staff capability helps businesses not only survive, but excel in our currently changing technological climate. Were these assumptions false, there would be little justification to support the significant investments that organisations and individuals make on personnel development in these disciplines.
Many researchers have commented that project management improves the likelihood of an organisation being successful. The benefits of project management to organisations have been expressed as an improvement in productivity (McHugh and Hogan, 2011; Cleland, 1984), effectiveness (Shenhar et al., 2001), efficiency (Stimpson, 2008), and performance (Abbasi and Al-Mharmah, 2000), while the benefits of IT investment are commonly cited as providing strategic value (Carr, 2003), improved productivity (Hwang et al., 2015), and improved levels of organisational internal entrepreneurship (Benitez-Amando et al., 2010). This body of research appears to provide strong justification for sustaining the assumption that project management and IT skills support financial performance.
However, this assumption remains largely unexamined. In the project management literature, the debate more commonly focuses on developing idealised, or contingent, models of project management, ways of implementing these, and the examination of criteria that contribute to the success and failure of projects. In this regard, the IT literature is not that different, with an added emphasis on the impacts and opportunities associated with specific technological developments. In 2012,
H?llgren (2012)called for an increased emphasis on research that explores the basic assumptions that underpin project management research and practice, and this research responds to that call by questioning whether the use of project management and IT as core business skills have an impact on businesses' financial performance, focusing on the roles these skills play in Australian small to medium enterprises (SMEs).
2.Literature review
There is a large body of research that examines the ways in which project management can be improved, developed and refined, so that organisational objectives are delivered more effectively (e.g. Hagen and Park, 2013; Kloppenborg et al., 2014). For instance, there have been a variety of studies that have linked personality types to project success (Creasy and Anantatmula, 2013; Cohen et al., 2013), or factors that impact productivity on projects (Ng et al., 2004). Other research has focused on process related issues, such as the link between project management process maturity and project success (Mir and Pinnington, 2014), or links between the maturity of the portfolio management system in an organisation and project success (Reyck et al., 2005). One consistent emphasis in these studies is that they focus on project success rather than organisational performance. The relationship between project and business success is usually left to implication only.
It is more common for research to examine the relationship between IT and orga nisational performance. However, this “… literature has traditionally shown contradictory results regarding the impact of the IT artefact on firm performance” (Benitez-Amando et al., 2010, p. 551). Taking e-commerce as an example, Hau et al. (2015) found that e-commerce affected the gross operating profit for some categories of hotel, while a cross-sector study by Hwang et al. (2015) found no link between e-commerce and business performance. Other studies have taken an indirect approach, often based on the assumption that IT is an enabler of business functions but not necessarilyone that directly impacts upon performance. For example, IT capability has been found to indirectly affect business performance through customer orientation
(Nakata et al., 2008). Investment in IT has also been found to positively affect a company's internal entrepreneurship culture, which then indirectly affects company performance (Benitez-Amando et al., 2010), and to enable a proactive environmental strategy, which can in turn mediate the effect of IT on business performance (Benitez-Amando and Walczuch, 2012).
In addition to a lack of research that tests the assumption that there is a link between project management skills or IT skills, and financial performance, there is a tendency in the project management literature to focus on mega-projects (e.g. Flyvbjerg, 2014; Eweje et al., 2012; Winch, 2013; Brady and Davies, 2014). In contrast to this prevailing trend, the research presented in this paper focuses on the impact of business skills on small to medium enterprise (SME) performance. The tendency to focus on larger projects is understandable, given how entertaining it is to read of their spectacular failures and successes, and the air of glamour associated with the large sums invested in mega-projects. However, the importance of SMEs to the social and economic health of countries has long been recognised (Beck et al., 2005; Schiffer and Weder, 2001; Ayyagari et al., 2007). It is acknowledged that SMEs may, and do, contribute to larger projects, but SMEs more commonly work on smaller projects. SMEs account for 40–70% of the value added by the business sector, and 70–90% of all enterprises in OECD countries are SMEs (OECD, 2013a, 2013b). This is consistent with data from Australia; the context in which this research is set. In Australia, there were over one million SMEs operating in 2012, representing over 90% of the business sector (ABS, 2012a,b) making SME profitability critical to the broader economy. In these SMEs, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) found IT professional skills in use in one in six SMEs, and project management used by one in eight SMEs (ABS, 2013a).
Project management research has often been submerged in the general management research into human resources, sales and marketing (Hudson et al., 2001; Turner et al., 2009; Turner et al., 2010). However, given that project management is a vital skill for SMEs (Turner et al., 2012), the critical role that project management plays in small business success (Sádaba et al.,2014), and the frequency with which IT
professional skills and project management skills are used in SMEs, there is surprisingly little research which examines how these skills are used by SMEs, and how they affect business profitability.
3.Methodology
Data for this research was sourced from the ABS Business Longitudinal Database (BLD). The BLD includes data relevant to understanding the performance of Australian businesses. It is compiled from a number of sources, including Australian Government tax records and questionnaire responses. The ABS uses a data quality framework based on the Statistics Canada Quality Assurance Framework (Statistics Canada, 2002) and the European Statistics Code of Practice (Eurostat, 2011). In the case of the survey data used in this research, a quality declaration was issued indicating a response rate of over 95%, and a relative sampling error of less than 10%.
In the 2004–2005 financial year, the ABS selected a panel of SMEs based on them being representative of their industry or population group. Business details were sourced from the Australian Business Register (ABR), a database that contains the names and addresses of all businesses that have a registered Australian Business Number (ABN) with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). Panel members were asked to respond to a survey for five consecutive years. The surveys were addressed to the owner/manager of the business, as listed in the ABR, asking them to complete and return the survey. Panel size was determined based on the expected dropout rate, and designed to ensure that a sufficiently large number of businesses remained in each industry sector and size classification for statistical analysis at the end of the five year period. New members were not introduced to the panel after the first year.
This research makes reference to two panels. Panel 1 includes data from the 2004–2005 financial year to 2009–2010, and Panel 2 includes data from the 2006–2007 to the 2010–2011 financial year. The BLD uses a variety of selection criteria for panel inclusion, including the requirements that businesses have less than 200 employees, that the business has a simple structure, and has only a single ABN
(ABS, 2013b). The Oslo Manual survey development guidelines for measuring business innovation (OECD/Eurostat, 2005) were referenced in the development of the survey, and the BLD integrates with limited data from the ATO. These panels are of interest because they included questions regarding the core business skills that respondents used in conducting their business (ABS, 2012a,b).
4. Data analysis
The data analysis presented in this paper focuses on three questions:
(1)During the previous year, were any of the following types of skills used by the business in undertaking its core activities: engineering (ENG); scientific and research (SCI); IT professionals (ITP); IT support technicians (ITS); trades (TRA); transport; plant and machinery operation (MAC); marketing (MAR); project management (PM); business management (BUS); and financial (FIN).
(2)Total sales, as reported in Australian Tax Office Business Activity Statements.
(3)Compared with the previous year, did profitability decrease, stay the same, or increase?
5.Discussion
It was found that project management skills, IT professional and support skills, financial skills and business management skills had a significant positive relationship with the SME's total reported sales in both panels. Of the business skills tested in the BLD, project management skills were shown to have the strongest positive correlation to total sales. The results for transport, plant and machinery operation skills were inconclusive, as they only significantly affected sales results in one panel. Marketing and trades skills were not found to have a significant influence on sales results, the former of which is particularly noteworthy given its general disciplinary focus. It is also interesting to note that while scientific and research skills did show an influence on total sales in both panels, it was a negative. A possible explanation for this result can be attributed to the high-risks often associated with research and development. An alternative explanation is that research and development return on investment may
only become apparent over a longer time scale than this survey has captured. Profitable research and development may be more viable in larger organisations than those that participated in the BLD, as larger organisations are more likely to be able to support the overheads associated with specialist scientific equipment, and have the contingency to survive the inevitable costs of failure associated with discovery.
The intention of this research is to explore whether a reliable relationship exists between a selection of skills that SMEs sometimes use in undertaking their core business, their profitability, and their sales figures. It is important to note that the research purpose has not been to develop predictive models that include all factors influencing the dependent variable. This distinction is important, and the authors acknowledge that many variables influencing SME profitability and sales have not been considered in this research. The skills that individuals bring to a business will certainly affect how profitable it is, and it is arguable that the skills of any one individual will be proportionally more influential in an SME than a large corporation, but business skills by no means exclusively determine business profitability and sales. This research makes no comment about other factors that may be relevant, such as the maturity of the business, the competitive environment, government policies, the prevailing business climate, or organisational culture.
Three other limitations to this research should also be observed. firstly, the responses to the question about changing profitability will have been affected by the ability of respondents to accurately perceive this change. However, this possible source of error will at least have partly been ameliorated by the creation of the second set of models that described changes in sales figures. Second, the panels also exclusively focus on businesses with less than 200 employees in Australia. This should be considered when extending these research findings to businesses in other countries, or to larger organisations. Third, it is expected that there will have been a variation in how the respondents understood what it is to use these business skills, as the survey instrument did not provide definitions. One respondent may have considered that creating a simple time line on a spread sheet counts as using project management, while another may have thought project management to be practiced
only by those with a higher degree. Similar variation may have occurred in how respondents interpreted IT skills, what it means for these skills to have been used …by the business?, and variation in the degree to which these skills played a role in the businesses. However, it is likely that there has been some convergence towards a common understanding of these business skills given the sample size. Other areas for future research could involve exploration of the boundary between when different business skills are considered to be used in a SME's core business, how this may vary in larger organisations, and factors that affect how changes in profitability are perceived.
6.Conclusion
In response to H?llgren's (2012) call for an increased emphasis on research that explores the basic assumptions that underpin project management research and practice, this paper has explored whether project management and IT skills improve business results. The research was conducted using two longitudinal databases, and it was found that the surveyed businesses that used project management more commonly reported an increase in profitability, and less commonly reported a decrease in profitability. At least 10% more of the population that used project management reported increasing profitability, and 5% less of the population reported a decrease in profitability, compared to those who did not use project management. Furthermore, businesses that used project management reported sales figures that were on average three times higher than those that did not.
The hypotheses that project management and IT professional skills have a significant positive relationship with SME profitability were tested using binomial logistic regression. When controlling for the influence of other comparable business skills, project management and IT professional skills were found to have a significant positive influence on the likelihood of a SME reporting an increase in profitability. The hypotheses that project management and IT professional skills have a significant impact on SME total sales were tested using multiple linear regression. When controlling for the influence of other business skills, it was found that project
management and IT professional skills have a significant positive relationship with total sales.
The results presented in this paper indicate that using project management and IT professional skills to undertake core business activities make a significant contribution to improving the financial performance of small to medium enterprises.
Companies often have to make difficult decisions about investment in resources. This is particularly significant for small to medium enterprises, where both human and financial resources may be scarce. Strategic decisions about investment in personnel and their development can have a significant impact on company performance. When considering which skills it is worthwhile developing as organisational capabilities, this research has shown that investment in project management and IT professional skills may have the greatest impact on an organisation's performance.

提高盈利能力的技能：
项目管理、IT技能和中小型企业盈利能力之间的关系
摘要通常假设，使用项目管理和IT技能对业务绩效有好处。本研究通过测试项目管理和IT技能的使用是否对企业的总销售额和盈利能力产生积极影响来探索这一假设。研究数据来自澳大利亚政府对中小型企业的两次纵向调查。使用多元线性回归和二元逻辑回归来创建模型，以描述项目管理、IT技能、盈利能力和总销售额之间的关系。结果表明，在控制其他业务技能的影响时，项目管理和IT技能对销售和盈利能力有显著的正面影响。
关键词：项目管理；信息技术；中小型企业；盈利能力；销售；业务技能1.简介
这是一个基本和主要的假设，即培养员工的业务技能可以提高企业的盈利能力。从员工技能的改进到更好的盈亏结算，虽然难以测试这漫长而分散的因果链中的每一步，但发展员工技能和提高公司绩效之间的联系通常被认为是显而易见的，很少受到质疑。这种假设适用于诸如管理项目的能力等技能，在这种情况下，理所当然地认为使用项目管理来达到战略和业务目标，就可以提高业绩。同样，我们倾向于认为，提高信息技术（IT）员工的能力不仅有助于企业生存，而且有利于在当前不断变化的技术环境中脱颖而出。如果这些假设是错误的，那么就没有理由支持组织和个人对这些学科的人员的发展进行重大投资。
许多研究人员评论说，项目管理提高了组织获得成功的可能性。项目管理对组织的好处在于：提高生产率（McHugh和Hogan，2011；Cleland，1984）、有效性（Shenhar等，2001）、效率（Stimpson，2008）和绩效（Abbasi和Al-Mharmah，2000）。而IT投资的好处在于：提供战略价值（Carr，2003）、提高生产率（Hwang 等，2015）、提高组织内部创业水平（Benitez-Amando等，2010）。对于项目管理和IT技能支持财务绩效的假设，这些研究似乎提供了强有力的证据。
然而，这种假设在很大程度上仍未被检验。在项目管理文献中，争论更多地集中于开发项目管理的理想化或偶然性模型，实施这些模型的方法，以及对项目成败标准的检验。在这方面，信息技术文献并没有什么不同，它更多地是强调与特定技术发展相关的影响和机遇。2012年，H?llgren（2012）呼吁加强对探索支持项目管理研究和实践的基本假设的研究的重视，本文响应了这一呼吁，通过质疑将项目管理和IT的使用作为核心业务技能是否会影响企业的财务绩效，重点关注了这些技能在澳大利亚中小企业（SMEs）中所发挥的作用。
2.文献综述
有大量的研究探讨项目管理可以改进、发展和完善的途径，以便使组织的目标提供得更有效（如Hagen和Park，2013；Kloppenborg等，2014）。例如，有很多研究将人格类型和项目成功（Creasy和Anantatmula，2013；Cohen等，2013）或者影响项目生产率的因素（Ng等，2004）联系在一起。其他研究集中在与流程相关的问题上，如项目管理过程的成熟度和项目成功之间的联系（Mir和Pinnington，2014），或组织中项目组合管理系统的成熟度与项目成功之间的联

顾客满意策略与顾客满意营销 原文来源：《Marketing Customer Satisfaction 》自20世纪八十年代末以来, 顾客满意战略已日益成为各国企业占有更多的顾客份额, 获得竞争优势的整体经营手段。 一、顾客满意策略是现代企业获得顾客“货币选票”的法宝随着时代的变迁, 社会物质财富的极大充裕, 顾客中的主体———消费者的需求也先后跨越了物质缺乏的时代、追求数量的时代、追求品质的时代, 到了20世纪八十年代末进入了情感消费时代。在我国, 随着经济的高速发展,我们也已迅速跨越了物质缺乏时代、追求数量的时代乃至追求品质的时代, 到今天也逐步迈进情感消费时代。在情感消费时代, 各企业的同类产品早已达到同时、同质、同能、同价, 消费者追求的已不再是质量、功能和价格, 而是舒适、便利、安全、安心、速度、跃动、环保、清洁、愉快、有趣等,消费者日益关注的是产品能否为自己的生活带来活力、充实、舒适、美感和精神文化品位, 以及超越消费者期望值的售前、售中、售后服务和咨询。也就是说, 今天人们所追求的是具有“心的满足感和充实感”的商品, 是高附加值的商品和服务,追求价值观和意识多元化、个性化和无形的满足感的时代已经来临。 与消费者价值追求变化相适应的企业间的竞争, 也由产品竞争、价格竞争、技术竞争、广告竞争、品牌竞争发展到现今的形象竞争、信誉竞争、文化竞争和服务竞争, 即顾客满意竞争。这种竞争是企业在广角度、宽领域的时空范围内展开的高层次、体现综合实力的竞争。它包括组织创新力、技术创新力、管理创新力、产业预见力、产品研发力、员工向心力、服务顾客力、顾客亲和力、同行认同力、社会贡献力、公关传播沟通力、企业文化推动力、环境适应力等等。这些综合形象力和如何合成综合持久的竞争力, 这就是CSft略所要解决的问题。CS寸代,企业不再以“自己为中心”,而是以“顾客为中心”；“顾客为尊”、“顾客满意”不再是流于形式的口号, 而是以实实在在的行动为基础的企业经营的一门新哲学。企业不再以质量达标, 自己满意为经营理念, 而是以顾客满意, 赢得顾客高忠诚度为经营理念。企业经营策略的焦点不再以争取或保持市场占有率为主, 而是以争取顾客满意为经营理念。因此, 营销策略的重心不再放在竞争对手身上而是放在顾客身上, 放在顾客现实的、潜在的需求上。当企业提供的产品和服务达到了顾客事先的期望值, 顾客就基本满意；如果远远超越顾客的期望值, 且远远高于其他同行, 顾客才真正满意；如果企业能不断地或长久地令顾客满意, 顾客就会忠诚。忠诚的顾客不仅会经常性地重复购买, 还会购买企业其它相关的产品或服务；忠诚的顾客不仅会积极向别人推荐他所买的产品, 而且对企业竞争者的促销活动具有免疫能力一个不满意的顾客会将不满意告诉16-20个人, 而每一个被告知者会再传播给12-15个人。这样, 一个不满意者会影响到二、三百人。在互联网普及的今天, 其影响则更大。据美国汽车业的调查, 一个满意者会引发8笔潜在的生意, 其中至少有一笔会成交。而另一项调查表明, 企业每增加5%的忠诚顾客, 利润就会增长25%-95%。一个企业的80%的利润来自20%的忠诚顾客；而获取一个新顾客的成本是维持一个老顾客成本的6倍。所以,美国著名学者唐?佩 珀斯指出: 决定一个企业成功与否的关键不是市场份额, 而是在于顾客份额。 于是, 企业纷纷通过广泛细致的市场调研、与消费者直接接触、顾客信息反馈等方式来了解顾客在各方面的现实需求和潜在需求。依靠对企业满意忠诚的销售、服务人员, 定期、定量地对顾客满意度进行综合测定, 以便准确地把握企业经营中与“顾客满意” 目标的差距及其重点领域, 从而进一步改善企业的经营活动。依靠高亲和力的企业文化、高效率的人文管理和全员共同努力, 不断地向顾客提供高附加值的产品, 高水准的亲情般的服

外文文献 Mergers and Acquisitions Basics :All You Need To Know Introduction to Mergers and Acquisitions The first decade of the new millennium heralded an era of global mega-mergers. Like the mergers and acquisitions (M&As) frenzy of the 1980s and 1990s, several factors fueled activity through mid-2007: readily available credit, historically low interest rates, rising equity markets, technological change, global competition, and industry consolidation. In terms of dollar volume, M&A transactions reached a record level worldwide in 2007. But extended turbulence in the global credit markets soon followed. The speculative housing bubble in the United States and elsewhere, largely financed by debt, burst during the second half of the year. Banks, concerned about the value of many of their own assets, became exceedingly selective and largely withdrew from financing the highly leveraged transactions that had become commonplace the previous year. The quality of assets held by banks through out Europe and Asia also became suspect, reflecting the global nature of the credit markets. As credit dried up, a malaise spread worldwide in the market for highly leveraged M&A transactions. By 2008, a combination of record high oil prices and a reduced availability of credit sent mo st of the world’s economies into recession, reducing global M&A activity by more than one-third from its previous high. This global recession deepened during the first half of 2009—despite a dramatic drop in energy prices and highly stimulative monetary and fiscal policies—extending the slump in M&A activity. In recent years, governments worldwide have intervened aggressively in global credit markets (as well as in manufacturing and other sectors of the economy) in an effort to restore business and consumer confidence, restore credit market functioning, and offset

国内外企业并购动因理论文献综述
国内外企业并购动因理论文献综述 摘要：本文总结了国内和国外学者关于企业并购动因理论的研究，并对两者的动因理论进行了比较。相对于国外发达国家的理论，我国的并购动因具有浓厚的中国特色，但另一方面，表明国外关于并购动因所提出的理论已逐渐适合中国的企业。 关键词：企业并购动因理论 并购（mergers and acquisition）包括兼并和收购，两者有一定的区别和联系。但是，随着全球化经济大发展，实业界的创新活动层出不穷，企业兼并和企业收购的界限越来越模糊。正如温斯顿说讲:“传统的主题已经扩展到包括接管以及相关的公司重组、公司控制、企业所有权结构变更等问题上,为简便起见，我们把它们统称为并购(M&A)”。 并购在当今世界扮演者越来越重要的角色。施蒂格勒(G. J. Stigler)经过研究认为：没有一个美国大公司不是通过某种适度、某种方式的兼并而成长起来的，几乎没有一家大公司主要是靠内部扩张成长起来。从19世纪末英、美等西方国家发生的第一次企业并购高潮算起，历经五次企业并购高潮，至今已有近百年的历史。企业并购理论也成为目前西方经济学最活跃的研究领域之一，在该领域的研究主要集中在并购动因研究和并购绩效研究两方面，两者共同成为理解企业并购经济合理性和制定公共政策的基础。在该文中，主要总结并购动因方面的文献。 一、国外企业并购动因的研究 企业并购动因的复杂性和多变性难以用一种经济理论解释清楚，不同地区、不同历史时期企业并购的产生和发展都有深刻的社会、政治、经济等原因；对于不同企业来说，他进行并购活动的原因不同，甚至同一企业在不同时期的并购也有不同的原因。对于并购动因问题，西方学者进行了广泛而深入的研究，提出了多种并购动因理论。Berkovitch 和narayanan(1993)将并购的动因归结于协同效应（synergy）,代理问题(agency)，管理者自负(hubris),并通过实证分析表明，以协同效应为目标的并购将带来正的效应，以代理问题为目标的并购，将带来负的效应。Kode ,Ford, Sutherland(2003)认为并购的动因在于协调效应，并提出了评价并购协同效应的模型。K. D. Brouthers等(1998)认为，并购动机可以分为经济动机、个人动机和战略动机三类。其中，经济动机包括扩大营销规模、增加利润、降低风险、防御竞争对手等子项目9项，个人动机包括增加管理特权等子项目4项，战略动机包括提高竞争力、追求市场力量等4项。这些研究都为并购的动因的理论发展作出了巨大的贡献。 威斯通等（1998）可以看成是国外对企业并购理论研究的集大成者。按照威斯通的理论和其它文献的研究成果，我们可以将企业并购的动因归为两大类：第一类是并购赞成论，包括效率理论（管理协同效应理论、经营协同效应理论、财务协同效应理论、多样化经营理论、价值低估理论）、信息与信号理论、代理成本理论。第二类是并购怀疑论，包括管理主义、自负假说、闲置现金流量理论、市场势力理论。 （一）、并购赞成论 1.效率理论（Efficiency Theory） 效率理论认为并购活动能够给社会收益带来一个潜在的增量，而且对交易的参与者来说无疑能提高各自的效率。这一理论包含两个基本的要点：（1）公司并购活动的发生有利于改进管理层的经营业绩；（2）公司并购将导致某种形式的协同（Synergy）效应。该理论主要包括管理协同效应理论、经营协同效应理论、财务协同效应理论、纯粹多样化经营理论、价值低估理论5个理论。 （1）管理协同（management synergy）效应理论

International Journal of Marketing Studies 6.5 (2014): 63-72. 原文 Marketing Strategy for Unusual Brand Differentiation: Trivial Attribute Effect Dalman, M. Deniz & Junhong Min Abstract This research investigates that brand differentiation creating superior values can be achieved not only by adding meaningful attributes but also meaningless attributes, which is called "trivial attribute effect." Two studies provided empirical evidences as following; first, trivial attribute effect creates a strong brand differentiation even after subjects realize that trivial attribute has no value. Second, trivial attribute effect is more pronounced in hedonic service category compared to the utilitarian category. Last, the amount of willingness to pay is higher when trivial attribute is presented and evaluated in joint evaluation mode than separate evaluation mode. Finally, we conclude with discussion and provide suggestions for further research. Keywords: brand differentiation, evaluation mode, service industry, trivial attribute Introduction Problem Definition Perhaps the most important factor for new product success is to create the meaningful brand differentiation that provides customers with superior values beyond what the competitors can offer in the same industry (Porter, 1985). Not surprisingly, more than 50 percent of annual sales in consumer product industries including automobiles, biotechnology, computer software, and pharmaceuticals are attributed to such meaningful brand differentiation by including new or noble attributes (Schilling &Hill, 1998). However, the brand differentiation that increases consumer preference is not only by introducing meaningful attributes but also meaningless attributes. For

Enterprise use of this mode of operation to achieve the capital cost of the external expansion of production and capital concentration to obtain synergies, enhancing competitiveness, spread business plays a very important role. M & A process involves a lot of financial problems and solve financial problems is the key to successful mergers and acquisitions. Therefore, it appears in merger analysis of the financial problems to improve the efficiency of M & Finance has an important practical significance. A financial effect resulting from mergers and acquisitions 1. Saving transaction costs. M & A market is essentially an alternative organization to realize the internalization of external transactions, as appropriate under the terms of trade, business organizations, the cost may be lower than in the market for the same transaction costs, thereby reducing production and operation the transaction costs. 2. To reduce agency costs. When the business separation of ownership and management, because the interests of corporate management and business owners which resulted in inconsistencies in agency costs, including all contract costs with the agent, the agent monitoring and control costs. Through acquisitions or agency competition, the incumbent managers of target companies will be replaced, which can effectively reduce the agency costs. 3. Lower financing costs. Through mergers and acquisitions, can expand the size of the business, resulting in a common security role. In general, large companies easier access to capital markets, large quantities they can issue shares or bonds. As the issue of quantity, relatively speaking, stocks or bonds cost will be reduced to enable enterprises to lower capital cost, refinancing. 4. To obtain tax benefits.

企业财务营运能力比率分析中英文对照外文翻译文献
中英文对照外文翻译文献 (文档含英文原文和中文翻译) 营运能力比率分析 1.财务比率分析 通过财务分析，可以使不同的信息使用者得到有关企业营运状况和财务状况的信息。这些信息都是很有价值的，它可以帮助企业经营者全面了解企业的营运状况，可以帮助企业投资者预测投资风险和投资报酬，做出投资、继续投资或转移投资的决策。 2.经营比率 经营比率即周转比率，它在很大程度上可以用来评估特定资产产生
的利益，诸如存货、应收账款可以用来评价公司全部资产产生的利润。 3.存货的管理 存货周转率表明公司已销售货物和服务的使用效率。存货周转率是企业营业成本与存货间的比率：存货周转率＝营业成本／平均存货4.应收账款的管理 就像评估存货周转一样，我们可以用应收账款和信用政策评估一个公司的经营管理水平。应收账款周转率是评价企业运用信用政策效率的一种方法。提供信用期限是为了刺激销售。信用政策的使用，是为了防止客户出现不履行承诺的可能性。延长信用期限的好处就同净赊销－销售应该收到的现金少于实际到账的。 应收账款周转率＝营业收入净额／应收账款平均余额 5.全部资产的管理 存货周转率和应收账款周转率反映的是特定资产使用的效率。为了更加全面的反映一个公司的生产经营能力，我们可以将一定时期的营业收入和资产总额进行比较。 一种方法就是使用总资产周转率，这个指标告诉我们年度内一个公司在销售环节总资产的周转次数。总资产周转率＝销售收入净额／平均资产总额
另一种方法是只注重固定资产，公司的长期、有形资产。固定资产周转率是固定资产和固定资产平均净值的比值。固定资产周转率＝销售收入净额／固定资产平均净值 6.应收账款的管理 当一个公司允许其客户在以后的日子里支付商品或服务的款项时，就产生了应收账款。允许客户在收到商品或服务后付款，这就给了客户信用，也就是所谓的商业信用。商业信用又称商品信用或者贸易信用，是一种非正式的信用，它不像其它形式的信用，商业信用通常不需要以票据为根据，而是自发产生的：当客户购买商品或服务，随之产生了商业信用。 应收账款的监控：通过财务比率和账龄分析表，可以监督应收账款的管理。依靠财务比率，我们可以更加全面了解应收账款的回收速度。账龄分析表表明应收账款的拖欠时间，有助于找到一个更加详细的收款策略。 通过信用天数的计算，可以找到快速收回应收账款的方法。信用天数就是在某个时间点（或者说，在最后一年）应收账款余额和日赊金额（平均每天的信用销售额）的比值，即信用天数=应收账款／日赊销额。信用天数，也称平均收款期和赊销期，衡量的是应收账款的平均收帐时间。
