    As an important way of management theory construction, case studies have been paid more and more attention by the academic circle. The quantity and quality of management case study papers have been constantly improved, and the methods are also developing towards being scientific and standardized. There are many different case study methods, but due to the lack of an in-depth understanding, the method selected is not completely adapted to the case situation, which affects the credibility of the articles in this field. In order to help researchers better choose the case study method, this article takes the case study papers by Kathleen M. Eisenhardt and Shan L. Pan, who proposed the method, as an example to further clarify the similarities and differences between the two representative methods from the perspective of methodology and specific methods. The similarities in the selection of objects and the diversity of data sources are identified, and the differences in presupposition, theory or phenomenon-driven, analytical thinking and other aspects are also identified. And the “7 key elements” and “6 key issues” in the selection case study method are summarized. Finally, the general process of the case study method with common features is given for the reference of researchers.

    Organizational resilience is the core ability of social enterprises to maintain survival, achieve development and cope with crises in the context of VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity). How to enhance the organizational resilience of social enterprises through the collaboration of multiple elements, and the complex influence effects and path mechanisms, have not yet formed a systematic interpretation. The fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) is used to test the configuration effect of the seven prerequisites of individual, organizational and environmental dimensions on the organizational resilience of social enterprises. The study finds that: First, the organizational resilience of social enterprises is the synergy and coupling of multiple factors. Second, a single factor is not a necessary condition for building organizational resilience. Third, there are three configurations that produce high organizational resilience and six configurations that produce non-high organizational resilience, which can be summarized into four paths. There is a causal asymmetric relationship between the two types of organizational resilience configuration paths. Fourth, legitimacy, entrepreneurial attention allocation and resource bricolage play an important role in driving the high organizational resilience of social enterprises. In addition, social enterprises lacking a policy support can obtain higher organizational resilience through other conditions. The research results expand the multi-dimensional analysis framework of organizational resilience theory and provide practical guidance for the stable development and continuous value creation of social enterprises.

    Focusing on the big challenge of changing China’s “low quality” labor into a sustainable competitive advantage, this paper conducts a case study and grounded research on HDL(Hai-Di-Lao Restaurant Chain) to examine its corporate values, strategies and HRM and their effects on enterprise performance. The study finds that "HDL model" is, in essence,an early form of sustainable enterprise which is based on "humanistic management" values and coordinated economic logic and institutional logic. Based on a balanced triple value system(economic-emotional–social values) and a shared vision/mission, this kind of enterprises have an innovative and integrated strategy system which incorporate its different competitive strategy, human capital strategy and Corporate Social Responsibility strategy into a cohesive one, and uses a SHRM system as its main management tool. These firm behaviors will make contribution to enterprise’s good economic,employee and social performance and lead to enterprises’ sustainable development.At last, based on the HDL mode and classic organizational sociological theories, this paper proposes a "double helix" firm model of coordinated economic logic and institutional logic.

    The fact that a large number of excellent technological innovation-oriented enterprises are listed in US capital market is worth reflecting on since it is a great loss for domestic capital market. Inclusiveness of oversea capital market to equity structures is one of the greatest attractions for technological innovation-oriented enterprises. Based on case studies of JD.com Limited(JD) and Alibaba.com Limited(Alibaba), this paper investigates why technological innovation-oriented enterprises select dual class systems and its economic consequences. We find that the growth cycle and financing features, as well as the balancing power of the founding teams and investors before IPO are the main factors why technological innovation-oriented enterprises select dual class structures. By implementing dual class systems, JD and Alibaba continue the corporate culture and core value of the founders. Also, it solved the governance problems of strategic options and management inheritance, and is beneficial to resist hostile takeovers. In the macro background of IPO registration system reform and the “public entrepreneurship and innovation” policy, to discuss the applicability of dual class systems is of crucial practical significance.

    Market-oriented debt-to-equity swap can optimize the debt structure of enterprises and solve the problem of business difficulties. However, there are few researches on the impact of market-oriented debt-to-equity swap on the financial performance of enterprises, and the research objects are mostly concentrated on state-owned enterprises. Therefore, this paper selects a private enterprise, Yuanxing Energy, as the case study object, quantitatively analyzes the influence of market-oriented debt-to-equity swap on the financial performance of Yuanxing Energy through factor analysis, and further looks into the influence of various financial indicators on the comprehensive level of financial performance by a grey relational analysis. It is found that market-oriented debt to equity swap can improve Yuanxing Energy’s debt solvency, profitability, and growth ability in the short term, thereby improving the company’s financial performance. However, due to various factors such as lax debt control and increased management costs, the level of financial performance has decreased in the later stage, and the long-term effect is not ideal. In addition, among the selected indicators, those reflecting debt solvency, cost expenses and operating ability have a greater impact on the comprehensive level of financial performance.

    While obtaining funds through equity pledges, major shareholders also face the risk of supplementary pledge and control rights transfers. In order to smooth stock prices, avoid risks and stabilize market values, major shareholders have the motivation and ability to adopt market value management behaviors. The literatures on equity pledge and market value management are relatively rich, but there is a lack of in-depth exploration on how equity pledge affects the choice of market value management and the impact of market value management on corporate value. Based on the signal transmission theory and market value management theory, this paper takes Elefirst Technology as an example and discusses how equity pledges of major shareholders affects market value management, and what are the financial effects of different market value management methods. The study finds that frequent and high proportions of equity pledges exacerbat the risk of equity pledges and enhance the speculation of market value management. Although it smooths the stock price in the short term, it doesn’t improve the long-term performance of enterprises. The study also provides a reference for investors to identify corporate motivations and analyze the real internal value of enterprises, and provides suggestions for regulators to regulate the equity pledge and market value management of listed companies.

    With the advantageS of environmental protection, resource saving and cost saving, remanufactured products has been widely recognized by the government, the public and the enterprises. However, in areas such as electronic products, consumers' market reaction are not so positive,which limit the sustainable development of remanufactured products. This paper uses the basic method of grounded theory, based on consumer effective commentaries which collected from online forums, make an effort to tap first hand feedback information provided by consumers, trying to find the main factors affecting consumer purchase intention of remanufactured product and purchase intention formation mechanism. This study finds that: (1) Due to the special attributes of remanufactured products, the formation process of consumers ‘purchase intention include the formation stage of attitude and the evaluation stage of perceived value, the positive attitude is the precondition to entering the stage of perceived value evaluation.(2) In the specific context of studying consumers purchase intention of remanufactured products, consumer attitudes include two dimensions of trust degree and psychological acceptance of remanufactured products. These new findings reveal that the formation mechanism of purchase intention for remanufactured products is different from ordinary products, it has its own characteristics. This paper also answers why the remanufactured products (such as auto parts) that face corporate customers develop rapidly than the direct-to-consumer remanufactured products (such as electronics), which has enriched the research of predecessors.

    Since the concept of strategic readiness put forward by Kaplan and Norton, researches on strategic readiness of human capital have become prevalent. Based on literature review, 25 questions under 6 aspects, which represent how to assess and promote strategic readiness of human resource, are concluded. Taking Neusoft as a case, this paper constructs a theoretical framework of assessing and promoting strategic readiness of human resource, using the single case study method with document classification and data coding technology. The results show that: (1) the assessing process consists of determining strategic job families, constructing competency profile and evaluating strategic readiness of human capital; (2) the promoting mechanism includes talent acquiring, talent training and talent drain controlling. On the basis, the factors which affect the validity of three mechanisms mentioned above are analyzed. The results show that: (1) recruiting technology, organizational attractiveness and recruiters’ behavior have significance on the validity of talent acquiring mechanism; (2) goal orientation, attentional advice, advance organizers, and preparatory information have significance on the validity of talent training mechanism; (3) organizational/supervisor’s support, distributive equity, payment, promotional opportunities, and employee job autonomy have significance on the validity of talent drain controlling mechanism. Based on the theoretical findings, management implications are proposed to suggest how to assess and promote strategic readiness of human capital.

    With the development of digital economy and consumption upgrading, cross-border e-commerce platform enterprises with the characteristics of decentralization need to break the traditional way of value mining to coordinate with multiple entities. Based on the perspective of value creation subjects, this paper selects S’YOUNG Group as the research object, and uses procedural grounded theories to explore how value orientation at different development stages matches resource actions to realize value creation, and how value orientation at each stage of specific structures affects the layout of a business model. This paper discusses the business model characteristics and the iterative evolution paths of cross-border e-commerce platform enterprises represented by S’YOUNG Group in each stage. It is found that with the extension of enterprise value orientation from “business orientation” and “technology orientation” to “platform orientation”, the subject of enterprise value creation has realized the transformation from “enterprise” and “enterprise-customer” to “enterprise-multi-subject”. The evolution path of the business model is the iteration of “self-oriented business model → market demand business model → multi-dimensional collaborative business model”. The matching and coordination between value orientation and resource actions is an important condition for the business model innovation of cross-border e-commerce platform enterprises. A collaborative value creation process includes value creation for end customers, value acquisition by platform enterprises themselves, value acquisition by other partners, and value transmission and distribution among these subjects. This paper has an important reference significance for cross-border e-commerce platform enterprises in resource utilization and value-oriented adjustment to improve business difficulties.

    How to improve the comprehensive abilities of managers through case teaching, while being able to distill and summarize the excellent management practices in China in the form of cases, has become a trend in the development of education in the field of economics and management. However, with the diversification of teaching knowledge transfer and the requirement of multi-level education, the form of teaching cases and the way of learning have presented diversified and all-round innovative features. This paper first analyzes the current research status of case teaching in management disciplines in China, and explores the theoretical foundation supporting teaching cases, analyzing the types of knowledge (including declarative, procedural and constructive knowledge) transmitted by the case teaching process from both ontological and constructive perspectives. In addition, the organizational forms and scenarios of case learning are discussed from the perspective of learning communities, a case learning community with multiple subjects such as students, teachers and entrepreneurs is constructed by combining the above theories, and the three levels of case teaching distinguished by the transfer of knowledge are described specifically. Finally, the paper presents that the three types of knowledge correspond to the formation and teaching mode of the three types of teaching cases. The paper analyzes the teaching process of developing and practically applying micro-cases, decision cases and composite cases in four stages, namely, observation, communication, formation and application, in order to provide references for case teaching in higher education of economics and management disciplines.

    For almost every social member, the Internet makes the data and information access convenient and costless. This facilitates the re-allocation of powers of product (and service) design among the related stake-holding participants, which was traditionally initiated by the vendor, but now by the user instead. Meanwhile, the direction of flow of data and information is from user to producer, which is reversing the traditional mode. Then the new business paradigm in the age of Internet is formulated as the society-involved design (SiD), that is, the related participants of social production have to collect the miscellaneous data and information at the points of users, and then to process the data to produce business knowledge, communicate the knowledge, and organize the production of product and service to meet the needs of users. The total process realizes the release, capture and conversion of cognitions of the users and all other participants. The SiD has three fundamental features, i.e., confluence analysis instead of flow analysis, innovation driven by product architecture, and cognitive resources development. The SiD is essentially distinctive from the incumbent business paradigms----mass production and mass customization.

    The continuous evolution at business model innovation and business ecosystems in the age of digital intelligence is far beyond the scope of existing theoretical studies. While focusing on the impact of business model innovation on business ecosystem attributes, established studies have neglected how the digital business ecosystem as an organizational support affects business model innovation, This study takes advantage of the composite characteristics at Siemens Group as a provider of business model innovation for downstream enterprises in the same industry and a practitioner of its own business model innovation and constructs a theoretical model of the impact of digital business ecosystems on business model innovation through a single case rooted analysis of Siemens Group, The study finds that:(1)enterprises form digital business ecosystems based on digital opportunity identification, digital resource acquisition,digital channel construction, and create value at all levels of digital business ecosystems through the interconnection and interaction of multiple subjects, (2)the mechanism of digital business ecosystem affecting business model innovation is “digital business ecosystem - open learning business model innovation”, In the digital business ecosystem, producers, sellers, other recipients, consumers,etc, use the digital platform to realize communication, cooperation and learning among multiple subjects, and the digital business ecosystem promotes business model innovation through intra-industry learning and inter-industry learning. (3)customers have become participants in the digital business ecosystem, participating in the creation of value through common open learning and communication with the producers of the focal enterprise,and satisfying customer needs more effectively, This finding provides a new analytical framework for analyzing digital business ecosystems and business model innovation.

    User participation acts as the basis of successfully operating online communities. Nowadays, many online communities are facing the problem of a lower user participation level.Most previous researches viewed user participation activities as a single entity instead of exploring the possible categories of such activities,which is unconducive to the theoretical development and the practical operation of business communities.Taking online health community as an example,this paper firstly divides users’ online behavior into six types based on content analysis and SSBC,and then examines their correlations through statistical analysis and QAP approach.The empirical results show that emotional support,knowledge sharing,and off-topic behavior are the main behavior styles;and they are all correlated in a positive fashion. The findings in this paper will enrich the studies on behavior types of SSBC, straighten out the correlations among them,and develop theoretical research on online user participation,and will also offer practical insights to community operation.
