  • CEC - The Effects of ICT Innovation and Industry Regulation on Chinese Travel Website's Marketing Logic
    2012 IEEE 14th International Conference on Commerce and Enterprise Computing, 2012
    Co-Authors: Yi Zhang, Limei Zhang
    Abstract:

    Over ten more years of development, travel website has been the intuitive and effective information facility for an ever increasing share of individual and business travelers in China. Notably, with the fast scale expansion of domestic users and online suppliers, the e-tourism market has shown signs of monopolistic competition, which is featured by IT companies dominating instead of travel agencies. Besides, when more and more travel websites characterized by information searching and booking services are well acknowledged as online travel agencies, no matter they are owned by IT companies or travel agencies, operators have to face increasingly fierce market competition as well as the decreasing advantages of cost saving and low price. For better understanding of Chinese travel website's marketing logic, which is affected by technological and non-technological factors, this paper proposes a conceptual framework on basis of marketing logic, ICT (information and communication technology) innovation and Industry Regulation, which is followed by a comparative case study of Chinese leading travel websites.

  • Nineteenth Century Urban Market Failure?: Chadwick on Funeral Industry Regulation
    Journal of Regulatory Economics, 1997
    Co-Authors: Robert B. Ekelund, George S. Ford
    Abstract:

    This essay analyzes the regulatory theory and policy preceptions of Edwin Chadwick (1800-1890), the premier Benthamite utilitarian reformer. We focus on and analyze Chadwick‘s economic diagnosis of the London funeral market in the first half of the nineteenth century. In his view, externalities and market failure in both the burial and funeral service markets demanded socialization of property rights and implementation of a franchise bidding scheme. Chadwick‘s rationales for government intervention, including high taxes and information costs—unique, we believe, for his time—provide the basis for numerous forms of contemporary Regulations at all levels in the United States today.

  • Environmental Management Systems and Community Participation: Rethinking Chemical Industry Regulation
    UCLA Journal of Environmental law and Policy, 1998
    Co-Authors: Neil Gunningham
    Abstract:

    I. INTRODUCTION This article provides a brief introduction to the chemical Industry, its economic contribution, and its environmental problems. The article identifies the key features of the Industry that are likely to influence the possibilities for regulatory design. The main components and limitations of current regulatory regimes in North America, Western Europe and Australia are summarized. The main task of the article is to highlight the design of regulatory policy in harnessing a broader mix of instruments and institutional actors that are tailored to the particular circumstances of the chemical Industry. The problems focused upon are necessarily a subset of the environmental problems confronting the chemical Industry as a whole. Point-source pollution and chemical accidents, have been the major environmental concerns with which the Industry is associated.(1) The chemical Industry is, by a large margin, the most polluting Industry sector both in the United States and in a number of other countries. Solutions to problems in the chemical Industry have resonance far beyond the chemical Industry itself. II. THE CHEMICAL Industry AND THE ENVIRONMENT The chemical Industry,(2) is a key manufacturing sector in most of the industrialized world. It transforms natural raw materials, such as metals, minerals, coal, oil, natural gas, vegetable oils, and animal fats, into thousands of organic chemicals for commercial use. The chemical Industry produces tens of thousands of products including raw and basic or intermediate materials for other industries, and finished products for Industry, construction, service, agriculture, business, and individual consumers. During the early part of the 20th century, the Industry expanded into explosives, synthetic dyes, pharmaceuticals, and petrochemicals, and diffused chemical Industry products into many other industrial sectors. In so doing, it has come to play a dominant role in the manufacturing sector of most developed and many developing countries. More recently, the Industry's trend is away from bulk chemicals towards higher added value products including pesticides, herbicides, dyestuffs, and biotechnology applications. Almost all of the largest chemical companies are transnational. Most of these companies expanded from their original base in North America or Western Europe to establish substantial foreign subsidiaries. This expansion was particularly evident from the second half of the 1980's until the 1991 - 1992 recession, during which period companies opened new markets and built new plants, especially in the Asia-Pacific region. During the same period world gross output in chemicals grew from US $744 billion to US $1.136 trillion.(3) The Industry also includes many smaller operators. These include specialty chemical manufacturers, distributors, and others to whom chemicals are supplied (e.g. upstream suppliers and buyers for manufacturers downstream). The chemical Industry is a keystone of the U.S. economy. It is also a leading Industry in Western Europe, where it accounts for an estimated one-third of the world turnover of chemical production and thirty-seven percent of the total European trade balance of manufacturing.(4) In Australia, the chemical Industry similarly plays an important role, both as a key supplier of raw materials to the overall manufacturing Industry and to key export industries such as agriculture and mining. The chemical Industry is a major source of environmental pollution. It is the United States' largest consumer and generator of highly toxic chemical substances.(5) Roughly half of all releases and transfers reported through the Toxic Release Inventory ("TRI"), and eighty to ninety percent of hazardous waste generation reported through the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, can be attributed to the Industry.(6) These figures represent three times that of the next major contributor to pollution - the metal Industry. …
