The integration of AI into scientific work holds significant potential to accelerate innovation. We surveyed researchers in two leading German research organizations to examine AI adoption, barriers, and perceived impact on research. Researchers are widely using AI tools—often for primary and creative tasks—and many expect the technology to be transformative for research. Effective use, however, requires training, both through hands-on experience and dedicated learning resources. A persistent gender gap in AI use can largely be explained by differences in familiarity, pointing to a clear opportunity for organizational intervention. Legal uncertainty and privacy concerns also emerge as major barriers, with researchers calling for clear, high-level regulatory guidance. Overall, our findings underscore the importance of institutional action to support equitable and effective AI adoption in research.
AI融入科研工作具有加速创新的巨大潜力。本研究调查了德国两大领先研究机构的研究人员，以检视AI的采用情况、障碍及其对研究的感知影响。结果表明，研究人员正广泛使用AI工具——通常用于主要和创造性任务——许多人预期该技术将变革研究。然而，有效使用需要培训，包括实践经验和专门学习资源。AI使用中持续存在的性别差距在很大程度上可由熟悉度差异解释，这指向了组织干预的明确机会。法律不确定性和隐私问题也成为主要障碍，研究人员呼吁提供清晰的高层监管指导。

With the arrival of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, intelligent machines are affecting the daily lives of multiple organizational stakeholders. However, despite the continued expansion of intelligent machines in society, management scholarship has generally lagged, and current frameworks are insufficient to provide meaningful guidance. We address this issue through a multidisciplinary review and a new framework of intelligent machines and value creation. We first discuss the characteristics of intelligent machines (autonomy, learning, inscrutability, and materiality), and how variation in these characteristics affects their affordances and, in turn, the value provided to stakeholders. We also introduce the concept of value contingency, which captures that the value provided by intelligent machines is conditional, and that stakeholder dispositions toward and utilization of intelligent machines must be considered when evaluating value creation.
随着第四次工业革命的到来，智能机器正在影响多个组织利益相关者的日常生活。然而管理学术研究普遍滞后。本文通过多学科审查和智能机器与价值创造的新框架来解决这一问题，讨论了智能机器的特征（自主性、学习性、高深莫测性和物质性），并提出价值或有关系的概念。

In the era of AI and fintech, improving financial analysis efficiency is essential. This article proposes a novel large language model-enhanced text mining workflow that leverages Internet-sourced text information to efficiently analyze supply chain finance business without requiring programming skills. A case study on the Chinese market for new energy buses demonstrates that the LLM-enhanced workflow outperforms traditional methods.

GB/T 7714: Cao F, Li H, Zhang X, et al. Preventive regulatory enforcement and access to trade credit: Evidence from a quasi-natural experiment[J]. Journal of Corporate Finance, 2026, 96: 102855.
Using the CSRC annual random inspections as a quasi-natural experiment, this study finds that the risk-review effect of preventive regulatory enforcement creates regulatory uncertainty for business partners, reducing trade credit financing. The phenomenon is more pronounced for firms with weaker bargaining power, higher information opacity, or lower financial resilience. The reduction in trade credit is observed regardless of compliance outcomes, gradually dissipating as uncertainty resolves.

GB/T 7714: He Y, Pang X, Wang K. Managerial incentives and trade credit: Evidence from China's EVA appraisal reform among CSOEs[J]. Journal of Corporate Finance, 2025, 94.
Exploiting the mandatory implementation of the EVA appraisal reform among CSOEs in China in 2010 as a quasi-natural experiment, this study investigates the effect of managerial incentives on firms' use of trade credit financing. We find that CSOEs use more trade credit than non-SOEs after the reform. The increased use of trade credit significantly improves EVA performance, further increasing executive compensation.

This study addresses how the relationship between market power and trade credit depends on a country's financial development level. Our findings reveal a U-shaped relationship, where monopolistic firms in countries with either underdeveloped or highly developed financial sectors are more likely to extend trade credit than those in mid-level financial systems.

This study employs behavioral experimental methods to examine the impact of late payments on procurement prices in competitive settings. Using game-theoretical models and experimental economics, it reveals that buyer late payment behavior not only affects supplier pricing strategies but also systematically impacts overall supply chain efficiency, with late payments leading to higher procurement prices.

Evidence from a Bayesian Panel Vector Autoregressive model on a large panel data set shows that brand equity has a powerful, lagging inverse effect on vertical integration, such that higher brand equity leads to less downstream vertical integration in a franchise system. These findings challenge traditional views (transaction cost theory, resource-based view, ownership redirection hypothesis).

By analyzing the themes, theoretical foundations, and methodological approaches of B2B branding research over the past five decades, we identify modest advancement—and even signs of stagnation. Based on a systematic analysis of 235 peer-reviewed journal articles published between 1988 and 2025, scholarly progress is often constrained by the predominance of descriptive case studies over more analytical and theory-building work.

This study investigates how dual-oriented branding strategies—organization-oriented and market-oriented—affect firms' innovation investment and brand equity. Both strategies significantly promote innovation investment, which in turn enhances brand equity. Top management's long-term vision and innovation orientation further strengthen the positive relationship.
