Thesis (MTech (Business Administration))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2009 / Within China's the hotel industry, they are known as expatriate managers and. on behalf of parent multinational hotel corporations, provide an element of control and co-ordination within local operating units. On average, organisations spend over two and a half times more money to send an employee on an expatriate assignment than they would if they hired employees locally. Expatriate managers have been faced with new and complex organisational cultures and work practices. In order to avoid expensive failure costs and to manage suci:essfuJly, an exploration of the issues that face international hotel managers in China. is both timely and relevant A qualitative case study approach was used for this thesis, while secondaIy dala was obtained from private, as well as public sources. Primary data was collected via questionnaires from hotel managers comprising both locals and expatriates. whilSt specific questions were exclusively posed to expatriate managers. Through collection and analysis of infonnation and data, and a thorough understanding of the research problem, this study provides a useful reference for expatriate hotel managers who are confronled with the issues of managing Chinese employees, as well as basic Chinese cultural, ethical and business valUes. Primarily this research examines challenges, which mostly arise from cross-cuIturaI differences between Westem and Chinese values, as well as a range of diverse organisational cultures and management styles within China's hotel industry. South Africa has become China's the biggest trading partner within Africa, while an increasing number of South African companies invest in China. The research is paramount to any foreign organisation that wants to conduct business in China.

This study proceeds on the assumption that maternal discourse in the West, according to Kristeva, is repressed, which has resulted in the serious fracture of the mother-daughter relationship and seeks to isolate a restorative model in contemporary Chinese culture. Chapter One explores the feminist claim that this fractured relationship is the result of patriarchal oppressions (and the cause of twice as many women than men suffering depression) and attempts to reconcile feminist psychology with Kristeva‟s thesis that abjection per se is the cause of widespread depression among women. The next chapter delineates the features of a cross-cultural feminist analysis, which includes exploring notions of Foucaultian and Lacanian discourse, by situating gender as a tool within the context of feminist and postcolonial perspectives. An argument is made that cinema is a privileged site to cull material from which to probe discourses on m/other and the thesis of a sunken maternal metaphor across all cinematic genres is demonstrated. Contemporary Chinese culture is scrutinized for possibly curative discourses and Bourdieu‟s idea of „rebel‟ and „orthodox‟ discourse models is employed to this end. After finding dominant discourse on gender in contemporary Chinese societies unsatisfactory for this purpose, I examine three contemporary Chinese films, with Gong Li as the female lead, in which I unearth two rebel discourses on m/otherhood. I argue that men and boys need to be encouraged to develop their aptitude and skills to nurture and care. This will allow women much needed space and time to come to terms with themselves and their own needs. In short, women and especially m/others, worn-out from guilt and expectations, are desperate for nurturance themselves.
