An Exploratory Case Study on the Metrics and Performance of IoT Investment in Japanese Manufacturing Firms
This study investigates the objectives, approval process, decision criteria, metrics, and performance of the Internet of Things (IoT) system investment in four Japanese manufacturing firms through exploratory case analysis. This study conducted semi-structured interviews and several workshops with practitioners to collect, confirm, supplement, and verify the interviews data and the researcher’s interpretations. The study clarifies the actual status of investment activities in IoT systems and the essential common issues. In addition, this study shows that IoT investments in Japanese companies improve production activities’ efficiency. However, collaboration among divisions and departments other than production is not sufficient. This paper also contributes to constructing an analytical framework for comprehensively clarifying IT system investment decision-making and investment effects. These findings will be one of the reference points of the IoT system investment project and will contribute to the recent digital transformation movement in many manufacturing firms.

Product Categories as Judgment Devices: The Moral Awakening of the Investment Industry
Product categories are more than classification devices that organize markets; when reflecting market actors' purposes, they are also judgment devices. Taking stock of the literature on product categories and drawing on the distinction between the faculties of knowing and judging, we elaborate a framework that accounts for how and why market actors include or exclude normative attributes in a product category definition. Based on a field study of the development of socially responsible investment (SRI) funds in France, we describe the phases and conditions of a judgment framework for category definition for both established and nascent categories. We discuss implications for research on product categories and the workings of markets more broadly.

I used to work at Goldman Sachs! How firms benefit from organizational status in the market for human capital
How does employer status benefit firms in the market for general human capital? On the one hand, high status employers are better able to attract workers, who value the signal of ability that employment at those firms provides. On the other hand, that same signal can help workers bid up wages and capture the value of employers' status. Exploring this tension, we argue that high status firms are able to hire higher ability workers than other firms, and do not need to pay them the full value of their ability early in the career, but must raise wages more rapidly than other firms as those workers accrue experience. We test our arguments using unique survey data on careers in investment banking.

Crowding-out effect of coal industry investment in coal mining area: taking Shanxi province in China as a case
The rapid development of coal industry in Shanxi province in China has important effects on its economic development. A large amount of money has been invested into the coal industry and other related industries during the recent years. However, research on the investment effect of Shanxi’s coal industry was rare. In order to analyze the investment effect of coal industry, based on the crowding-out effect model, cointegration test, and the data available in Shanxi Statistical Yearbooks, this paper calculates the effect between coal industry investment and other 17 industry investment. The results show that the investment of coal industry produces crowding-out effect on food industry, building materials industry, and machinery industry. Increasing 1% of the coal industry investment can reduce 0.25% of the food industry investment, or 0.6% of building materials industry investment, or 0.52% of the machinery industry investment, which implies that Shanxi province should adjust coal industrial structure, promote the balance development of coal industry and other industries, so as to promote its economic growth.

Research on the mechanism of green industry investment to promote sustainable utilization of water resources
Abstract
This study aims to deeply analyze how green industry investment can effectively promote the sustainable utilization of water resources. Firstly, we defined the concept, characteristics, and corresponding evaluation index system of green industry investment. Subsequently, through the comprehensive application of literature review, theoretical analysis, and empirical case analysis, we constructed a mechanism model to reveal the promoting effect of green industry investment on the sustainable use of water resources and verified it with relevant data. Meanwhile, this study emphasizes the critical roles of policies, technologies, and markets in the sustainable utilization of water resources. The empirical results indicate that investment in green industries has improved water resource utilization efficiency and strengthened water resource protection. Therefore, the policy recommendations proposed in this study have high practical significance for guiding the practice of green industry investment and sustainable water resource utilization in China.
