This requires firms impleme nt modern corporate financial mechanism. From the view of the current situation of financial management in China, we demonstrates the differences in financial m anagement between Chinese enterprises and international companies by describing detailed case studies of typical large enterprises in China. To transform the enterprise management mechanism, the enterprise financial m echanism must be transformed accordingly. The basic ideas for its transformation and establishment include: 1. Changing the managerial ideology, that is, completing the ideological chan ge from the management of goods to the management of capital; 2. Establishing a scientific organizational mechanism for financial managemen t; 3. Establishing a mechanism for scientific management, supervision and assess ment; 4. Training high-level financial management personnel with modern management knowledge; 5. Dividing promotion center, distribution center, cost center and profit cen ter in financial division. In view of the above basic ideas and basic principles for the transformation and establishment of enterprise financial mechanism, we found that: the basic conte nt that needs transformation in the theory of China’s traditional enterprise fin ancial mechanism should include the content of finance main body, the content of financial objectives, the content of financial organizational structure and the content of environment for financial management. At the same time the following theories should be introduced, particularly the theories of capital time value, of risk in finance management and risk management, of the capital cost and capi tal structure, so as to establish a basic theoretical framework for the modern e nterprise financial mechanism. Based on the analyses, this paper discusses the impacts of economic globaliz ation to Chinese large enterprises and their financial management systems. From the current situation of Chinese companies’ financial management, this paper dem onstrates the adaptations to the differences in financial management of Chin ese enterprises with case study.展开更多

This strategical proposal is made on the basis of a comprehensive analysis of the main problems challenges faced by the coal mining industry is made on. The main prob-lems with Chinese coal mining industries discussed include: over-competition with a low convergence, severe waste and loss of mine resources with poor exploitation techniques, disordered operation with few industrial entry barriers, heavy welfare burdens from low socialization. The accession of WTO provide Chinese coal mining industry with chances to push forward the reforms and structural shift in the enterprises, expedite the estab-lishment and perfect of coal mining market mechanism, expand their international market share as well as introduce foreign investment, and with challenges from high technology, knowledge economy, and information revolution. The solutions to the foster of large-scale coal mining group enterprises, as well as the possible points to note and the policy pro-posal are advanced.展开更多

However, little attention has so far been given to the spatial evolution of an enterprise in China. With China's ongoing economy and political reforms, a number of fundamental changes of enterprise behavior have occurred. These changes have certainly important influences on the evolution of industrial location. Therefore, there is a need for examining the spatial evolution of an enterprise in China. The purpose of the paper is to review the mapjor models of both the growth,and associated spatial evolution of an enterprise, with an illustrative case study of the HeaVy Automobile Enterprise Group of China. The paper is organized by three parts. The first examines the spoilal groWth and location adjustment of multi-plant enterprise. The second reviews mapjor models of the spatial evolution of an enterprise. And the third analyzes the spatial evolution, over a period of time, of a representative sample of the Heavy Automobile Enterprise Group of China, and illustrates the findings with case studies. It is suggested that the models of spatial evolution of an enterprise would provide more evidence about micro-mechanism for evolution of micro- regional economic systems.展开更多
