In the United States, Administrative Law, as one of the core curricula of the MPA, has in the past encountered some problems in the teaching process. Particularly with respect to educational goals, textbook compilations and teaching methods, it has experienced a process for perfectibility step after step, which serves as a good reference for China to inaugurate MPA teaching at the initial stage. It would be important to draw ideas from experience and lessons in the U.S. when carrying out administrative law education in China.

This article aims to identify important factors leading to integrity breaches in China's current public procurement and provides insights into ways to diminish them. It develops and tests a theoretical model of supplier integrity, which identifies three external factors (i.e. laws and regulations, supervision and government procurement centres) and one internal factor (i.e. organisational motivations) as antecedents of organisational qualities, which in turn govern organisational integrity. The model is tested using survey data. The results suggest that laws and regulations, and supervision do not have any significant effect on suppliers, but government procurement centres and organisational motivations have positively affected suppliers' organisational qualities, which reduce integrity breaches. This article thus recommends further unification reform on laws and regulations as well as supervision to control suppliers' integrity breaches. (China/GIGA)

SummaryThe diffusion models tend to be tested individually in isolation and remain the same over time for the studied innovations in the literature. Moreover, there is growing interest to learn from other countries in our current age of globalization. Therefore, this paper chooses the innovation of public resources trading platforms in China to fulfill above literature gaps. We have examined key events and the issuances of related laws and regulations by Chinese governments. Our contributions are twofold: (a) Our analysis and results show that the diffusion models evolve over the different stages of a life cycle of an innovation, contrasting to the literature results that diffusion models remain the same for their studied innovations. Due to major diverse characteristics among different adopter categories over a life cycle of an innovation, we argue that it is appropriate and necessary to apply different diffusion models on different adopter categories, which is missing in the current literature. (b) We find a first bottom‐up and then top‐down synthesis approach as an effective, efficient diffusion process for both fitting local needs (i.e., effective) and adopting innovations rapidly nationwide (i.e., efficient).
