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.

自一九七七年鄧小平提出科技人才的培養，基礎在教育以來，教育工作被視為促成中國大陸經濟發展的重要議程，也是完成社會主義現代化建設的戰略要點。而教育的發展重在建立合格、穩定的師資陣容，在此一前提下，農村地區為數眾多且學歷不合格的中小學民辦教師，則成為中國大陸提昇人力素質需求下，首要解決的問題。 　　一九七八年以後，中國大陸各地區根據「減少數量，提高質量」的教育方針，逐步擴展民辦教師在職培訓，減少數量並提高其政治、經濟地位。一九九五年二月二十日在廣東惠州召開的全國民辦教師工作會議上，國家教委堅持以「關、招、轉、辭、退」五字方針，解決民辦教師問題，並於公元兩千年之前讓中國大陸民辦教師成為歷史。然而，隨著九年義務教育的推展，教師需求增加；農村地區師資匱乏問題未獲妥善解決；加諸經濟改革以來，部份農村教師棄教從商等現象，均影響目前農村基礎教育的發展。因此，除了片面降低民辦教師數量外，如何運用民辦教師政策，鼓勵兩百多萬農村民辦教師繼續為農村教育奉獻心力，則更具啟發性。 　　本研究之目的乃在： 　　1.探討民辦教師的發展背景； 　　2.分析民辦教師主要的分佈特性； 　　3.瞭解中國大陸現行有關民辦教師的管理體制，以及現行政策之缺失； 　　4.分析中國大陸經濟改革開放後，對民辦教師教學工作與職業流動的影響。 　　另外，除檢討目前政策得失外，研究者也擬定若干建議。 　　依據研究目的，研究者採取文獻分析法與個案研究方法進行民辦教師現況與民辦教師政策問題的分析；另外，本研究也擬以「質的自然研究設計、量的資料蒐集分析、量的統計分析」之統合策略研究法，分析民辦教師區域的分佈特性。 　　研究結果發現，國家財政匱乏、政治因素主導教育發展、農村教師不足以及農村辦學體制的變動，乃是促成民辦教師發展的重要因素。另外，根據統計資料的分析，民辦教師數量與當地社會經濟結構、教育規模有高相關存在。換言之，社會經濟越發達，民辦教師所佔的比重越小，反之，則否。至於農村民辦教師職業流動的現象則呈現區域性的差異，一般而言，社會經濟結構越趨向高度農業化，就業結構越單一化的地區，民辦教師鮮有職業流動，而鄉鎮企業發達、或鄰近都市的農村，民辦教師職業流動現象明顯。 　　此外，在國家教委「關、招、轉、辭、退」的政策推行下，目前中國大陸民辦教師數量與質量獲得明顯的改善。如：民辦教師佔中小學教師總數的比例由一九七八年的59.4%，下降到一九九四年的24.3%；根據個案研究的結果發現，民辦教師學歷普遍提昇到高中以上。不過目前仍存在以下幾個問題： 　　1.片面禁止增聘民辦教師，卻未能解決農村教師不足的情況，導致農村代課教師數量增加，成為變相的民辦教師。 　　2.國家教委人事司與地方政府對「民轉公」政策宗旨認知不同，致使民轉公的選招方式備受爭議。 　　3.民轉公與中師招收在職民辦教師名額少，且考試競爭激烈，教師投入考試準備，怠忽教學工作。 　　4.已取得中專與大專本科學歷的民辦教師，為轉公辦教師仍須到師範學校學習，造成教育資源浪費。 　　5.民辦教師工資、福利與公辦教師相差二倍以上。 　　綜觀上述的問題，研究者建議： 　　1.按民辦教師年齡與學歷，分別考量民轉公選招的標準。 　　2.民轉公名額須與縣（市）地方財政負擔相配合。 　　3.農村教育費附加，由縣統一籌措，並用於保障與提昇民辦教師工資。 　　4.另外，由縣市統一規定農村民辦教師最低保障工資數。 　　5.以互助會的形式建立民辦教師社會福利保險制度。 　　儘管目前以政策性策略降低民辦教師數量的成長，但是長期以來農村地區師資嚴重短缺的問題，始終未獲得根本的解決，導致控制了農村地區民辦教師之數量，卻間接造成代課教師數量的成長。而欲解決農村民辦教師或代課教師的問題，根本之道在研擬一套舒緩農村教師緊缺的新途徑。

眾所矚目的第一次「辜汪會談」在辜振甫與汪道涵握手、坐上談判桌、簽署協議後落幕，兩岸從此進入一個充滿變數的「談判時代」。無論台灣兩千萬人如何看待這次的辜汪會談，也無論各界對這次會談的定位呈現多大的認知差距，兩岸關係從對抗、隔絕到走向談判桌，已是種必然的發展。如此的時代意義，正是從事本文研究的基本動機。 　　面對兩岸談判時代的來臨，能否從第一次「辜汪會談」雙方的談判行為中尋出脈絡，作為兩岸日後談判的範例，是本文所欲深入研究之處。而文中除了對兩岸的談判行為作客觀的分析外，亦關心該會談對台灣所造成的衝擊與影響。藉由辜汪會談獲得啟示，使我方政府在面對中共這麼一個實力強大、戰略目標明確且戰術手段靈活的談判對手時，能夠步步紮實、開拓勝機，正是本文研究期許達到之目的。本論文分為五章，十四節，共計十萬餘字。第一章為導論，選寫本論文之研究動機、目的、方法、途徑、範圍與架構。第二章則將一般的談判概念及中共的談判理念作一歸納說明，並概述兩岸事務性談判。第三章說明第一次辜汪會談前兩岸關係的發展及會談的完整經過。第四章則分析台灣與中共雙方在會談中的談判行為，並以第二章所提之談判概念加以檢視。第五章結論，探討第一次辜汪會談對現階段兩岸關係及國際關係呈現的意義，並對會談作一綜合評析，以期台灣能自此次會談獲得啟示，為日後談判開拓勝機。
