This study uses the current laws and regulations of Mainland China as the researching objectives trying to figure out some possible methods to be the references for those who are interested in investing into Chinese market in the near future. Although PRC has agreed to release trading right after joined WTO, the detailed regulations are not very clear yet. For those foreign traders may uncarefully disobey China¡¦s laws due to misunderstand the laws or just believe people¡¦s words in the market. This may put themselves in a high risk situation. After analyzes the laws, this study designs a suitable open questionnaire to have in-depth interviews with some high level managers currently working in Mainland China to explore Taiwanese SME¡¦s activities. On the method of qualitative research, we have to concern on three creteria: A. correct description, B.criticism and analysis, C. discovery¡CThis study found: information is difficult to be collected in China market¡Bthe credit is poor of your business objects¡Bchannels and sources of goods are difficult to control and difficulty to collect money. These problems will increase the transaction cost. While to build Guangxi or relationship and establish commercial friendship in Chinese market will help you to reduce the transaction cost. China market is a rapid growing but also high competitive market. To find a proper entry model is very important topic.

In the recent years, a lot of Taiwan firms shut factories and turned to invest their capital in Mainland China. This situation reflects that the investment conditions in Taiwan are not as good as before. On the contrary, China has plenty of labor forces and their wage rate is much lower than Taiwan. Besides, China is an extensive market and abundant in natural resources. Many famous businesses in the world seize the chance of investing in China and get the market share. The first purpose of thesis is that analyzing the differences of HR values, competitive strategies, HRM systems, and firm performance between the indigenous firms in Taiwan and Taiwan firms in Mainland China. And the second purpose is that using all the samples to examine the effect of HRM systems on firm performance. This research collected data by issuing and mailing questionnaires. Effective questionnaires of indigenous firms in Taiwan sent back are 182 and effective rate is 10.11%; effective questionnaire of Taiwan firms in Mainland China sent back are 119 and effective rate is 19.01%. By using statistical method, the results are as follows: 1. There are significant differences in ¡§HR values¡¨ and ¡§firm performance¡¨ between indigenous firms in Taiwan and Taiwan firms in Mainland China. The result shows that Taiwan firms in Mainland China put more emphasis on HR values and has better performance than indigenous firms in Taiwan. 2. ¡§HR values¡¨ and ¡§competitive strategies¡¨ have positive effects on ¡§HRM systems¡¨. Besides, setting up an independent HR department also has positive effects on ¡§HRM systems¡¨. The result indicates that if the top managers put more emphasis on human resource management and adopt differentiation strategies, the firms are more likely to use ¡§make-organic¡¨ HRM systems. 3. ¡§HR values¡¨, and ¡§competitive strategies¡¨ have positive impact on ¡§firm performance¡¨. This result shows that if the top managers put more emphasis on human resource management and adopt differentiation strategies, the firms will get better performance. According to the results above, this study suggest that we should take human resource as the most important asset of the business, and set up an independent HR department to manage human resource and make good use of it. In addition, we should adapt the ¡§make-organic¡¨ HRM systems in order to improve performance. v

Asian countries imitate the success of Taiwan IC industry, especially Mainland China. Therefore, it is compared between Mainland China and Taiwan to discover the differences and similarities in my thesis. National innovation systems are divided into national industry innovation policies and industrial innovation systems; the former is composed of the history of IC industry, technical policies and industrial policies. And the latter is composed of the resources of technical people, industrial gatherings, research institutions, technical resource and transference. Finally, there are three points in my conclusion. First, the use of industrial policies and the portal model of foreign businessmen are similar. But they, for instance, the period of IC technology enlightenment, the early timing and importance of technology policies, the used way of industry policy, the way of technological transference, scientific research institutions and the local Fabs, are different. Second, their IC design industry is driven by Foundry. It occurs the special division of industry. And the development of their IC industry is driven by demand market in itself. The last, many 8 inches Fabs are built.

The study is to explore China¡¦s entry strategies of the multinational satellite television channels, discussing how satellite television channels of some multinational media corporations entered the highly regulated China market. As an exploratory research in essence, the study is conducted through literature analysis, case studies, and in-depth interviews. Among them, satellite television channels of the two media giants , AOL Time Warner and News Corp., are the focus of the case studies : corporate characteristics of the two multinational media corporations are taken as independent variables, while China¡¦s entry strategies of the corporations¡¦ satellite television channels are taken as dependent variables. Through this logic, the study attempts to make some propositions about the strategies used by multinational satellite television channels when entering China. Six preliminary propositions about China¡¦s entry strategies are made in the following aspects : ¡§ difference of the entry channel positioning ¡¨, ¡§ entry timing, local commitment made by the channel, and performance of the entry channel ¡¨, ¡§ value chain integration of the satellite television channel industry and local partnership ¡¨, ¡§ human resources management of the entry channel ¡¨, and ¡§ entry/ investment fields other than the satellite television channel industry ¡¨. Based on the propositions, the study then concludes that for multinational media corporations, the more inclined the parent company is categorized as multinational company in MNC category, the clearer the parent company/top manager perceives China market, the stronger the top managers¡¦ strategic intent on China market, and the richer experience the parent company owns in foreign market entry, then the more local commitment the multinational satellite television channels would make, which benefits the channel performances as a result.

Due to the unusual political and economic ties across the Strait, the trade between Taiwan and Mainland China, as two independent economic entities, can be regarded as special ¡§state-to-state¡¨ trade. Logically, Taiwanese enterprises, which have invested in Mainland China, can also be defined as special Multinational Corporates¡]MNC¡^. The utmost aims of international capital flows include lowering costs and exploiting new marketplaces. The mature industries in developed economies have been losing their competitive advantages in cost and marketing, while the developing economies are usually able to provide those MNCs with more potential markets and lower operation costs. Therefore, the enterprises in developed economies can alternatively keep their competitive edges by making use of cross-border operations and capital flows. Under the frameworks of International Product Life Cycle (IPLC) and the Diamond Model, the study aims to interpret the motivations of the capital flows and the investment location determinations among Taiwan and the economic regions in Mainland China. Want-Want group, denoted as a successful Taiwan firm in Mainland China, enjoys prosperous experiences in that market. The group categorized as food industry, which falls in the mature period of product life cycle in Taiwan. Hence, the study takes it as an example to illustrate the application of the IPLC theory in the Mainland China, and to interpret the investment local determinants by the conditions illustrated by the Diamond Model. The study has scrupulously examinated the history of Want-Want group investing at Taiwan and various economic regions in China. The findings are that when multinational corporations make foreign direct investments, the Product Life Cycle theory and Diamond Model theory can appropriately interpret the motivation and location selection respectively.

In recent years, there are an increasing number of Taiwan-based enterprises building up their factories in Mainland China, possibly due to the following reasons: low manufacture cost, plentiful human resource, inexpensive land and large market. Compared to other inexpensive (or even cheapter) countries, In addition, China remains entrepreneurs¡¦ favorite destination when considering moving out factories because of the short geographic distance as well as the culture similarity. However, recent macroeconomic control, the request of labor contract and the new tax law enforced by China government dramatically increase the cost of labor, causing more risk in investment. Take stainless steel industry as an example. There is a need to exercise good competitive strategies, with the aid of information systems, so as to stay competitive in the global economy. This research, through case studies, identifies several strategies that are essential to the profitable establishment of factories in mainland China and a number of factors for successfully deploying information systems.

The extent of influence of monetary policies on housing prices in the Greater China region is examined in this study using data from 2005-2015. Using vector autoregression, the effects of housing indices, interest rates, money supply as well as stock market index are accessed. Results suggest that monetary policies do in fact influence housing market trends in Greater China. Furthermore, the extent of influence on Mainland China on the Hong Kong and Taiwan markets is also tested. Results imply a greater co-integration between the Mainland and Hong Kong market than that between Mainland and Taiwan. The effect of exchange rate is deemed as insignificant. Housing policies set by national and local governments show to be less influential than predicted. Lastly, granger causality is not present between the different markets within this study.

Multi-level marketing schemes (MLMs) is one of the fastest growing types of business in the world. Especially in China, with the development of e-commerce and social network application, increasingly people start doing business for MLM companies in social network platform. However, there are few academic articles have been written about the ethicality of MLMs on social media application in China. What surprising is, even in China, the ethical issue of MLMs on Wechat is controversial. Among the ordinary person, MLMs sometimes have been accused of being pyramid schemes, which is illegal in China. Besides, many people complain that some of their friends sell products on Wechat, which make them uncomfortable and sometimes be pressured to buy it. This research explores the nature of MLMs and the ethical issues of it. It argues that MLMs on Wechat in China posed some unique ethical issues and attempts to search for the solutions for them.

Après la Révolution culturelle, toute une génération de compositeurs de Chine continentale a émergé sur la scène internationale. Ce mouvement est indissociable de la mondialisation artistique, puisque beaucoup de ces compositeurs se sont dispersés dans le monde pour se construire hors de leur contexte culturel d’origine. C’est à Chen Zhen, un plasticien chinois de la même génération, que nous avons emprunté les trois concepts de « résidence, résonance et résistance », pour éclairer leurs trajectoires. 1 Résidence Comment relier par cette notion des compositeurs qui vivent aux États-Unis, en Europe, et même … en Chine ? Ce n’est pas dans la géographie qu’il faut chercher un ancrage commun, mais plutôt dans l’histoire. Dix années de Révolution culturelle, suivies de dix années d’ouverture, ont façonné très fortement cette génération.2 Résonance Dans la délicate alchimie à opérer entre techniques occidentales et traditions musicales chinoises, on repère une sorte de circulation entre différentes couches de mémoire. L’étude des œuvres permet de voir combien les influences s’enchevêtrent.3 Résistance On note chez nombre de compositeurs chinois une volonté de se démarquer de la musique contemporaine occidentale : univers incontournable pour être reconnu, elle semble avoir opéré à la manière d’une sorte de « surmoi ». On peut y voir la résurgence de l’idéal esthétique chinois ancien du naturel (ziran), mais aussi un accommodement aux lois du marché. / After the Cultural Revolution, a whole generation of Chinese composers arrived on the international music scene. It is not possible to dissociate this movement from the artistic globalisation, since almost all of these composers are spread out over the different continents and are working outside of their original cultural context. To clarify the paths taken by these composers, we shall use the categories (“residence, resonance and resistance”) elaborated by Chen Zhen, a Chinese visual artist of the same generation1. ResidenceHow can we possibly group together under this term composers living in the United States, Europe and even … in China? We cannot look to geography to find a common basis but rather to history. Ten years of the Cultural Revolution followed by another ten where China had opened to the West have had a very strong impact on this generation of composers.2. ResonanceIn the delicate alchemy that takes place between Western technique and Chinese musical tradition, we can see a certain inter-penetration of different layers of memory. Studying the works of these composers, we can see how much these influences become entangled.3. ResistanceWe can notice with many of these Chinese composers a growing tendency to take distance from Western contemporary music, a world essential to be part of, if one wants recognition, acting as a kind of Super-Ego. We can see this phenomenon like the resurgence of very old Chinese aesthetic concept, the ideal of the “natural” (ziran) or like a compromise with the market power.
