Research studies in this arena have been centred on industrialised nations (e.g., Guthrie and Parker, 1990), and until recently, comparatively sparse focus on developing nations (Belal, 2000), particularly in empirical studies on CER in the People's Republic of China (PRC). -- As the most populous nation on earth with one fifth of humanity (1.3 billions), China's astounding economic growth and resource consumption (Economist, 2005), provide 'telescoping' lessons in understanding the embracing of CEM and CER in rapidly developing countries. Motivated by China's unique institutional structure and embryonic stage of environmentalism (Luo and Yuwen, 2001; Chan and Welford, 2005), this field study explored the 'greening' phenomena of CEM and CER as perceived by senior managers in Shanghai. -- Utilising a modified grounded research approach (Strauss and Corbin, 1990; 1994; Whiteley, 2004), the constructivist ontology was chosen to penetrate the social context of the companies interviewed. Grounded in the data and applying interpretive epistemology, this qualitative research elucidated our awareness about the normative assumptions underpinning CEM and CER in Shanghai. The emergent model illuminated our understanding of how Chinese institutions and senior individuals within enterprises responded to the greening challenges, and how senior managers matched their personal beliefs with perceived CEM and CER. -- The results in this study indicated that CEM and CER were influenced and/or constrained by formal institutional rules (e.g., environmental policies and laws) and informal cultural institutional norms (e.g., Guanxi, trust and secrecy). The findings resonate well with institutional theoretical constraints (Powell and DiMaggio, 1991; Fogarty, 1992a) and cognitive dissonance theory (Festinger, 1962). This is attributable to the dilemma of balancing the 'yin and yang' of long term environmental sustainability and short term economic growth. / Mode of access: World Wide Web. / viii, 289 p. ill

There had not been much attempt to interweave the impact of both social status change and social transformations on the memory, hence identity building of same cohort. This is because time was needed for stratification to complete and the impact of social transformations on the life course of an individual to be settled. Educated youth (zhiqing 知青) should be a very good example to examine this problem as they experienced both huge social transformations and re-stratification. Followed by these transformations were a weakening impact of official ideology on people. Besides, as the educated youth approach retiring age and their life more or less settled, time is also ripe to attempt the challenge. Existing studies in collective memory of educated youth do not take effort to differentiate educated youths by their family backgrounds(jiating chushen 家庭出身/jiating chengfen 家庭成分) nor their social status. However, many accounts in academia suggested that family class backgrounds had significant impact on the life course of educated youths, though they were just suggestive. Furthermore, as China underwent drastic socioeconomic transformations since 1970s and the educated youth re-stratified, a changing identity and self-perceived status can be expected. By collecting their life histories through semi-structured interviews and analyzing the ontological and public narratives of zhiqing’s life histories, this exploratory research aims to find out how family background and current status affects the memory structure and thus the identity construction of educated youth in China in the days of economic transformation. / 集體記憶研究對於社會轉型與社會地位變化如何共同影响同一群体的集體記憶以及身份建構研究不足，因為社會轉型與分層的影響需要時間才能觀察到。知青記憶研究正好是一個很好的範例，因為知青本身既經歷了社會轉型，也經歷了社會地位的變化。此外如今知青步入退休階段，生活以及身份較為穩定，亦解決了上述的分層、社會變化的時間問題。關於知青記憶的現有研究並沒有把知青進行家庭出身（又稱家庭成分）的劃分。然而學界一些研究表明，家庭出身對知青的生命歷程有重大的影響。此外，自從中國在1970年代開始經濟與社會轉型以來，知青經歷了重新分流，而自我身份或亦會隨之改變。本探索研究希望通過搜集知青的口述生命史，分析其中的本體(ontological)与公共(public)敘事主題，來分析家庭成分與知青當前地位如何影響他們的記憶結構，從而一窺知青面對中國經濟轉型的時候如何建構他們的身份。 / Lin, Pik Man. / Thesis M.Phil.
