    Notes: abstract  Top management teams may be critical for developing organizations that can keep abreast of marketplace changes and innovate. Several streams of strategy research have argued that conflict and diversity promote top management team effectiveness. This study proposes that how top management teams manage conflict can greatly contribute to their effective leadership of organizational innovation. A total of 378 executives from 105 organizations in China completed measures of conflict management (cooperative, competitive, and avoiding) and productive conflict (an outcome of conflict). Separately, 105 CEOs from these firms indicated their team's effectiveness and their organization's innovativeness. Results support the theory that conflict management can contribute to making top management teams effective. Structural equation analysis suggests that cooperative conflict management promotes productive conflict and top management team effectiveness that in turn result in organizational innovation. These results, coupled with previous research, were interpreted as suggesting that cooperative conflict management is an important contributor to effective top management teams even in the collectivist culture of China.

    Notes: Purpose - This paper aims to establish an organizational learning system model based on both western and Chinese management thoughts. Design/methodology/approach - The approach is a conceptual model which is based on research within the field. Findings - The model consists of nine interrelated organizational learning sub-systems including "discovering", "innovating", "selecting", "executing", "transferring", "reflecting", "acquiring knowledge from environment", "contributing knowledge to environment", and "building organizational memory" ones. The evidences in some famous Chinese traditional cultural classics (including Great Learning, Doctrine of the Mean, The Analects of Confucius, Book of Change, Tao-Te-Ching, The Art of War and Chuan-Xi-Lu) that support the rationale of the model are described and analyzed. Originality/value - Several propositions are developed and it is hoped that the model is applicable in both eastern and western business environments.

    Liquid crystal polymers. XVIII. Comparison of the properties of aromatic polyesters with different mesogenic units and a common flexible spacer (1984)

    Notes: Four closely related polyesters, with aromatic ester triads and decamethylene spacers, were prepared and characterized for their thermotropic liquid crystalline properties. Two of the polymers, which were based on linear biphenols, formed stable nematic phases, whereas one of the two based on nonlinear biphenols formed a poorly defined nematic phase; the other was not liquid crystalline. Several polymerization reactions and methods were evaluated and structure-property relationships of the polymers are discussed. The concept of “degree of liquid crystallinity” for polymers with poorly defined thermotropic behavior is considered.
