scientific study of interactions among organisms and their environment, such as the interactions organisms have with each other and with their abiotic environment. Topics of interest to ecologists include thediversity, distribution, amount biomass, number population of organisms, as well as competition between them within and amongecosystems. Ecosystems are composed of dynamically interacting parts including organisms, the communities they make up, and the non-living components of their environment. Ecosystem processes, such as primary production, pedogenesis, nutrient cycling, and various niche construction activities, regulate the flux of energy and matter through an environment. These processes are sustained by organisms with specific life history traits, and the variety of organisms is calledbiodiversity. Biodiversity, which refers to the varieties of species,genes, and ecosystems, enhances certain ecosystem services.生态是生物和环境之间的相互作用,如生物相互之间以及与他们的非生物环境的相互作用的科学的研究;生态学家感兴趣的话题包括的thediversity,分布量生物量,数量人口的生物,以及他们之间的竞争和amongecosystems内;包括生物体的动态相互作用的部分组成的生态系统,他们的社区做起来,他们的环境和非生物成分;生态过程,如初级生产,成土作用,养分循环,各种小生建设活动的环境,通过调节能量和物质通量;这些过程持续生物体特定的生活史,各种生物calledbiodiversity;生物多样性是指物种,基因和生态系统的品种,提高一定的生态系统服务;Ecology is an interdisciplinary field that includes biology and Earth science. The word "ecology" "Ökologie" was coined in 1866 by the German scientist Ernst Haeckel 1834–1919. Ancient Greek philosophers such as Hippocrates and Aristotle laid the foundations of ecology in their studies on natural history. Modern ecology transformed into a more rigorous science in the late 19th century. Evolutionary concepts on adaptation and natural selection became cornerstones of modernecological theory. Ecology is not synonymous with environment,environmentalism, natural history, or environmental science. It is closely related to evolutionary biology, genetics, and ethology. An understanding of how biodiversity affects ecological function is an important focus area in ecological studies.

There are many practical applications of ecology in conservation biology, wetland management,natural resource management agroecology, agriculture, forestry,agroforestry, fisheries, city planning urban ecology, community health, economics, basic and applied science, and human social interaction human ecology. Organisms and resources compose ecosystems which, in turn, maintain biophysical feedback mechanisms that moderate processes acting on living biotic and nonliving abiotic components of the planet. Ecosystems sustain life-supporting functions and produce natural capital like biomass production food, fuel, fiber and medicine, the regulationof climate, global biogeochemical cycles, water filtration, soil formation, erosion control, flood protection and many other natural features of scientific, historical, economic, or intrinsic value.生态是人类科学;有很多实际应用中的生态保护生物学,湿地管理,自然资源管理农业生态学,农业,林业,农林业,渔业,城市规划城市生态,社区卫生,经济,基础科学和应用科学,人类社会的互动人类生态学;生物和资源组成的生态系统,反过来,保持生物物理反馈机制,适度的过程,作用于生活生物和无生命的星球生物的组件;生态系统维持生命支持功能和生产生物质生产食品,燃料,纤维和医药,调节气候等自然资本,全球生物地球化学循环,过滤水,土壤的形成,控制水土流失,防洪和许多其他科学的自然特征,历史,经济,或内在价值;Hierarchical ecologyThe scale of ecological dynamics can operate like a closed system, such as aphids migrating on a single tree, while at the same time remain open with regard to broader scale influences, such as atmosphere or climate.

Unit6  carrying capacity 课文加翻译

Unit6 carrying capacity:earth’s bottom lineIt takes no stretch of the imagination to see that thehuman species is now an agent of change of geologicproportions. We literally move mountains to mine theearth’s minerals, redirect rivers to build cities in thedesert, torch forests to make way for crops and cattle,and alter the chemistry of the atmosphere in disposing of our wastes. At humanity’s hand, the earth isundergoing a profound transformation-one withconsequences we cannot fully grasp.没有一点点想象明白人类带来地理比例的变化,我们移山开采地球的矿物质,重定向的河流在沙漠中建造城市,为了农作物和畜牧烧森林来让路,并改变大气的化学处理的废物。

对于人类,地球正在经历一个深远的改变-这一结果我们不能完全控制.It may be the ultimate irony that, in our efforts tomake the earth yield more for ourselves, we arediminishing its ability to sustain lifeof all kinds,humans included. Signs of environmental constraintsare now pervasive. Cropland is scarcely expandingany more, and a good portion of existing agriculturalland is losing fertility. Grasslands have been overgrazed and fisheries overharvested, limiting theamount of additional food from these sources. Waterbodies have suffered extensive depletion and pollution, severely restricting future food production andurban expansion. And natural forests-which helpstabilize the climate, moderate water supplies, and harbor a majority of the planet’s terrestrial biodiversity-continue to recede.它可能是最终的讽刺,在我们努力使地球产量更多,我们正在消弱其维持生命的能力。

薪酬管理外文文献翻译The existence of an agency problem in a corporation due to the separation of ownership and control has been widely studied in literatures. This paper examines the effects of management compensation schemes on corporate investment decisions. This paper is significant because it helps to understand the relationship between them. This understandings allow the design of an optimal management compensation scheme to induce the manager to act towards the goals and best interests of the company. Grossman and Hart (1983) investigate the principal agency problem. Since the actions of the agent are unobservable and the first best course of actions can not be achieved, Grossman and Hart show that optimal management compensation scheme should be adopted to induce the manager to choose the second best course of actions. Besides management compensation schemes, other means to alleviate the agency problems are also explored. Fama and Jensen (1983) suggest two ways for reducing the agency problem: competitive market mechanisms and direct contractual provisions. Manne (1965) argues that a market mechanism such as the threat of a takeover provided by the market can be used for corporate control. "Ex-post settling up" by the managerial labour market can also discipline managers and induce them to pursue the interests of shareholders. Fama (1980) shows that if managerial labour markets function properly, and if the deviation of the firm's actual performancefrom stockholders' optimum is settled up in managers' compensation, then the agency cost will be fully borne by the agent (manager).The theoretical arguments of Jensen and Meckling (1976) and Haugen and Senbet (1981), and empirical evidence of Amihud andLev (1981), Walking and Long (1984), Agrawal and Mandelker (1985), andBenston (1985), among others, suggest that managers' holding of common stock and stock options have an important effect on managerial incentives. For example, Benston finds that changes in the value of managers' stock holdings are larger than their annual employment income. Agrawal and Mandelker find that executive security holdings have a role in reducing agency problems. This implies that the share holdings and stock options of the managers are likely to affect the corporate investment decisions. A typical management scheme consists of flat salary, bonus payment and stock options. However, the studies, so far, only provide links between the stock options and corporate investment decisions. There are few evidences that the compensation schemes may have impacts on thecorporate investment decisions. This paper aims to provide a theoretical framework to study the effects of management compensation schemes on the corporate investment decisions. Assuming that the compensation schemes consist of flat salary, bonus payment, and stock options, I first examine the effects of alternative compensation schemes on corporate investment decisions under all-equity financing. Secondly, I examine the issue in a setting where a firm relies on debt financing. Briefly speaking, the findings are consistent with Amihud and Lev's results.Managers who have high shareholdings and rewarded by intensive profit sharing ratio tend to underinvest.However, the underinvestment problem can be mitigated by increasing the financial leverage. The remainder of this paper is organised as follows. Section II presents the model. Section HI discusses the managerial incentives under all-equity financing. Section IV examines the managerial incentives under debt financing. Section V discusses the empirical implications and presents the conclusions of the study.I consider a three-date two-period model. At time t0, a firm is established and goes public. There are now two kinds of owners in the firm, namely, the controlling shareholder and the atomistic shareholders. The proceeds from initial public offering are invested in some risky assets which generate an intermediate earnings, I, at t,. At the beginning, the firm also decides its financial structure. A manager is also hired to operate the firm at this time. The manager is entitled to hold a fraction of the firm's common stocks and stock options, a (where0<a<l), at the beginning of the first period. At time t,, the firm receives intermediate earnings, denoted by I, from the initial asset. At the same time, a new project investment is available to the firm. For simplicity, the model assumes that the firm needs all the intermediate earnings, I, to invest in the new project. If the project is accepted at t,, it produces a stochastic earnings Y in t2, such that Y={I+X, I-X}, with Prob[Y=I+X] = p and Prob[Y=I-X] = 1-p, respectively. The probability, p, is a uniform density function with an interval rangedfrom 0 to 1. Initially, the model also assumes that the net earnings, X, is less than initial investment, I. This assumption is reasonable since most of the investment can not earn a more than 100% rate of return. Later, this assumption is relaxed to investigate the effect of the extraordinarily profitable investment on the results. For simplicity, It is also assumed that there is no time value for the money and no dividend will be paid before t2. If the project is rejected at t,, the intermediate earnings, I, will be kept in the firm and its value at t2 will be equal to I. Effects of Management Compensation Schemes on Corporate Investment Decision Overinvestment versus UnderinvestmentA risk neutral investor should invest in a new project if it generates a positiexpected payoff. If the payoff is normally or symmetrically distributed, tinvestor should invest whenever the probability of making a positive earninggreater than 0.5. The minimum level of probability for making an investment the neutral investor is known as the cut-off probability. The project will generzero expected payoff at a cut-off probability. If the investor invests only in tprojects with the cut-off probability greater than 0.5, then the investor tendsinvest in the less risky projects and this is known as the underinvestment. Ifinvestor invests the projects with a cut-off probability less than 0.5, then tinvestor tends to invest in more risky projects and this is known as thoverinvestment. In the paper, it is assumed that the atomistic shareholders risk neutral, the manager and controlling shareholder are risk averse.It has been argued that risk-reduction activities are considered as managerial perquisites in the context of the agency cost model. Managers tend to engage in these risk-reduction activities to decrease their largely undiversifiable "employment risk" (Amihud and Lev 1981). The finding in this paper is consistent with Amihud and Lev's empirical result. Managers tend to underinvest when they have higher shareholdings and larger profit sharing percentage. This result is independent of the level of debt financing. Although the paper can not predict themanager's action when he has a large profit sharing percentage and the profit cashflow has high variance (X > I), it shows that the manager with high shareholding will underinvest in the project. This is inconsistent with the best interests of the atomistic shareholders. However, the underinvestment problem can be mitigated by increasing the financial leverage.The results and findings in this paper provides several testable hypotheses forfuture research. If the managers underinvest in the projects, the company willunderperform in long run. Thus the earnings can be used as a proxy forunderinvestment, and a negative relationship between earningsandmanagement shareholdings, stock options or profit sharing ratiois expected.As theunderinvestment problem can be alleviated by increasing the financialleverage, a positiverelationship between earnings and financial leverage isexpected.在一个公司由于所有权和控制权的分离的代理问题存在的文献中得到了广泛的研究。

外文翻译原文Core vs.Non-Core FrameworkMaterialSource:/articles/2009/01/core-vs-noncore-fra mework,2004.02 Author: Neil Mac Allister, Richard Evans, and Katherine WallaceAcross the pharmaceutical industry,dramatic and durable changes to the operating environment are calling for modifications to companies’strategies and structures. The industry is facing a period of eroding pricing power, falling growth in the consumption of branded drugs, and tighter regulatory standards.As a consequence, companies are finding that revenue growth is becoming both slower and more volatile, and that returns on R&D spending are pushing below the cost of capital. We recommend changes to the current business model that include smaller, more efficient and more flexible cost structures, as well as the increase of efforts to mitigate revenue volatility.Our aim in this article is to apply an analytical framework for how to think about an evolving business model for pharmaceutical companies.The pharmaceutical industry is operating within an increasingly unfavorable political,economic,and regulatory environment,largely as a result of negative public opinion,rising healthcare costs,and increasing involvement from governments in the purchase,reimbursement and market approval of pharmaceuticals.These pressures are being brought to bear on an industry whose structures reflect past rather than present and future conditions,particularly with costs that are both too high and too inflexible.To estimate profitability over long time cycles,we compared year one R&D spending to year 10 net income, a rate of return that has been falling for as long as we can measure. Apparent returns are no longer higher than the industry’s cost of capital.Profits must exceed costs of capital for a business to remain viable.Inpharma, this gap can be widened by either increasing the revenue return generated by each dollar spent on R&D or by reducing the cost of commercializing the industry’s innovationsWe also see revenue growth slowing and becoming more volatile, consisting of interspersed periods of growth and contraction. As real pricing power and per-capita branded volume effects fade,revenue growth slows.Historically,real pricing power and per-capita volume growth made steady, predictable contributions to total revenue growth and more pricing power could be applied when needed to stabilize growth;as they fade,revenue growth defaults to —or at least toward —the remaining variables: population growth and product mix. Population growth is too small to matter,leaving mix as the dominant variable.Product mix is extremely volatile from period to period, consisting of significant gains (i.e. new products) and significant losses (i.e. patent expiry) interspersed at uneven intervals. Absent the buffers of real pricing and per-capita volume gains,it follows that future revenue patterns contain both ups and downs; unless cost structures become more flexible, periods of revenue contraction will result in outright earnings losses.Competitive differentiation must consider whether ownership or control of the activity is important for competitive and/or strategic reasons,and whether or not the company is able to perform the activities at such a level that it provides them with a point of differentiation against their competitors. The availability of sourcing options needs to examine whether or not there are ample vendors performing the activity that can deliver world-class quality at a cost-effective price.Core activities•Enable the overarching business strategy•Are key components of the company’s value proposition•Are a major source of durable competitive advantage (e.g.intellectual capital)•Protect intellectual property•Have internal capabilities that cannot be matched or exceeded by outside vendors or other partnersNon-core activities•Can be pushed outside of pharma to improve flexibility within cost structure •Are general “supportive” activities to the pharma value proposition•Can be conducted by third parties and match or exceed internal quality/economicsDetermining core and non-core activities for your company will depend upon the benefits of outsourcing or partnerships versus keeping the function in-house and the strategic importance of the function relative to your company. The importance and value of these two dimensions will differ depending upon the product stage. For example, elements of screening in discovery that have low risk of IP exposure may be considered non-core,while aspects of lead optimization in development involving high risks of IP exposure are likely to be considered core activities.We have broken R&D down into four phases:basic research,discovery, preclinical, and development. By examining the key activities within each of these phases, a core or non-core determination can be made based on the strategic context underlying each element.In some cases the activity may be “on the fence”–this simply means that the determination will vary for each company depending on their internal capabilities, capacity, and strategic direction.Basic research functions are core only if they provide a point of differentiation for the company. For example, in therapeutic areas in which very few companies are working on a limited number of mechanisms, target identification and validation activities may be a point of differentiation. Beyond this, the activities are thought to be non-core. In therapeutic areas with multiple mechanisms and multiple companies competing,it is likely in the best interest for the company to change their orientation to search for and evaluate targets rather than to generate IP.Basic research around different mechanisms may be found within academia,but increasingly commercial organizations are developing platforms necessary to conduct these activities – providing a variety of capable vendors and partners.Discovery efforts should be considered for outsourcing because they are easily systematized and — in some instances — are automated. For companies that have already built discovery capabilities in-house — e.g. high through-put screening —the cost effectiveness and quality standards must be evaluated against outsourcing options.Preclinical activities are increasingly being outsourced in order to take advantage of specialist modeling capabilities. Assembly of the information gathered in preclinical development will remain in-house,while the actual generation of perspectives will move to outsourcing. The vendor environment for preclinical work,particularly in specialty areas,is maturing quickly,allowing pharmaceutical companies to tap into new efficiencies by outsourcing in these areas.In clinical development,strategy,development plans, and management functions should always be kept in-house. In all development activities, consideration should be given to two rules: the protection of critical relationships and the active management of the outsourcing.Another factor that influences outsourcing in development is the philosophy of the company.This should be considered when examining “on the fence” activities; some companies may view certain activities as generic skills where others see a core strategic advantage.Once the core vs.non-core determination has been made,companies must assess the optimal outsourcing approach for non-core activities.We have divided outsourcing approaches into two categories, functional and integrated, based on the degree of integration necessary between the sponsor and the vendor. As a general rule, if a core activity must be outsourced for some reason, integration with vendors is essential. For non-core activities, a functional approach is usually best.Integrated outsourcing arrangements would focus on accelerated decision making and minimizing time to proof of concept.Vendors would work with integrated workflows and pre-established standard operating procedures (SOPs), with IT decision support. In many cases,integrated outsourcing calls for a component of risk sharing in the compound’s success,and an economic model should be established in which there is an emphasis on quality, not quantity, and it is in the interest of the vendor to “kill” compounds as soon as they begin showing unfavorable results.Clinical data management has been one area of development activity that is routinely outsourced and has been increasingly off-shored. As a very basic example of the application of the core/non-core decision process, we have used the example of the partnership between Accenture and Wyeth to illustrate the use of our framework.To begin,from the company perspective,data management is not a differentiating activity. It does not provide a point of competitive advantage over a competitor, and it is unlikely that any one company possesses a leadership position in this area.As a result,in outsourcing there is very little executional or IP risk associated with outsourcing data management.In terms of capacity,many companies have been moving away from holding data management capabilities in-house over the last decade,so many may not even have internal resources.Additionally,there are no key relationships associated with the data management function.From a company situation standpoint,all variables point toward data management being a non-core activity.The vendor situation for data management points toward the same conclusion. Sophisticated vendor environments already exist for conducting data management, particularly in off-shore communities. Because of the ample supply of vendors, quality standards are high and generally well trusted, and competition has lowered prices to a very attractive level.With both situations pointing toward outsourcing, there is very little by way of company situation that would compel a pharmaceutical company to keep data management activities in-house. Below we have profiled an example of Wyeth’s shifting of data management to an outsource partner and the impact the relationship has had.Wyeth and Accenture formed a deal in which Wyeth gave its entire data management operation to Accenture over a 10-year contact.In doing so,half of Wyeth’s 300 data management positions were eliminated,and the remaining employees were transferred to Accenture for employment. The more mundane data management tasks, such as data entry, would be sent offshore to India to make use of Accenture’s specialized facilities. In order to get the contract, Accenture had to accept a risk-sharing arrangement and meet highly specific performance criteria all while cutting Wyeth’s data management costs by 50%.The result was a deal that provides significant cost savings for Wyeth, shifting fixed costs to variable costs while also tapping into new capabilities through Accenture’s service delivery center in India. New efficiencies can also be reached; functions that would have taken Wyeth more than 100 days must be reduced to about 20 days under the deal, or Accenture will have to pay Wyeth.In contrast to the data management example, program management activities can be examined as an extreme illustration of an activity that is core and must be kept in-house.As a result,we do not have a case studied to apply to this framework because we are not aware of outsourced program management arrangements.While specific company situations will vary,all companies will find a very high executional and IP risk associated with outsourcing the program management function. Program management is one of the remaining areas where companies can hold a significant leadership advantage over competitors and continue to buildinternal know-how (intellectual capital).Additionally, it is critical that internal program management teams develop and leverage key relationships along the value chain.The vendor situation further reinforces that program management remains in-house.While program management functions may be a portion of outsourcing specific activities, vendors solely dedicated to program management do not readily exist. Even if an extreme company situation dictated that program management activity be outsourced, a fully integrated outsourcing approach would be necessary. This arrangement would require oversight from the pharma company and would therefore result in significant overlap of responsibilities.Across the industry’s R&D functions,significant un-tapped degrees of freedom exist for making the cost base more variable. Opportunities for flexibility gains have to be balanced against IP and organizational know-how risks; in general the economic value of flexibility gains increases toward the sell end of the continuum while IP concerns lessen. Means for reducing revenue volatility clearly exist, including co-development of products and/or sharing of commercial rights/returns with commercial partners, and expansion of effective portfolio size in partnership with passive investors.Whether such volatility gains are worth the associated costs can and should be analyzed.Determining a company's degrees of freedom and how they may be leveraged is a two-step process. First, this general framework of core vs. non-core needs to be fine-tuned by persons having greater proximity to each component of the value chain (in general),and to the company’s business circumstances and organizational status (in particular).Second,available degrees of freedom (i.e. owned non-core functions)should be prioritized according to likely gains, associated risks,and the extent to which well-developed external platforms for performing these functions exist.译文核心和非核心结构资料来源:/articles/2009/01/ core-vs-noncore-framework作者:尼尔·麦克利斯特,理查德·埃文斯,凯瑟琳·沃利斯在整个制药行业,戏剧性和持续性的对于经营环境的改变,正在呼吁对公司的战略和结构的修改。

• The normal procedure for measuring the cost of debt requires a forecast of interest rates for the next few years, the proportions of various classes of debt the firm expects to use, and the corporate income tax rate. • The interest costs of different debt components are then averaged (according to their proportion). • The before-tax average, kd, is then adjusted for corporate income taxes by multiplying it by the expression (1-tax rate), to obtain kd(1-t), the weighted average after-tax cost of debt.

Global Cost and Availability of Capital
• A firm that must source its long-term debt and equity in a highly illiquid domestic securities market will probably have a relatively high cost of capital and will face limited availability of such capital which will, in turn, damage the overall competitiveness of the firm. • Firms resident in industrial countries with small capital markets may enjoy an improved availability of funds at a lower cost, but would also benefit from access to highly liquid global markets.
ke = krf + β(km – krf)

The Demand for Foreign Securities: The Role of International Portfolio Investors
• Both domestic and international portfolio managers are asset allocators whose objective is to maximize a portfolio’s rate of return for a given level of risk, or to minimize risk for a given rate of return.

Weighted Average Cost of Capital
• In practice, calculating a firm’s equity risk premium is quite controversial. • While the CAPM is widely accepted as the preferred method of calculating the cost of equity for a firm, there is rising debate over what numerical values should be used in its application (especially the equity risk premium). • This risk premium is the average annual return of the market expected by investors over and above riskless debt, the term (km – krf).
• The current debate begins with a debate over what actually happened in the past.

The Demand for Foreign Securities: The Role of International Portfolio Investors
• On the other hand, a project-specific required rate of return should be used as the discount rate if a new project differs from existing projects in business or financial risk.
• Gradual deregulation of equity markets during the past three decades not only elicited increased competition from domestic players but also opened up markets to foreign competitors.

Weighted Average Cost of Capital
• A firm normally finds its weighted average cost of capital (WACC) by combining the cost of equity with the cost of debt in proportion to the relative weight of each in the firm’s optimal long-term financial structure:
• If a firm is located in a country with illiquid, small, and/or segmented capital markets, it can achieve this lower global cost and greater availability of capital by a properly designed and implemented strategy.
