In terms of global TFT-LCD industry, the most important competitors for Taiwan TFT-LCD industry are Korean Samsung & LG Philips (LPL) at present. To compete with them, it becomes one of the important strategies to work with Mainland China as working partners. The development of ¡§strategy of heading west to China¡¨ becomes the most direct way to reduce cost & maintain business. When managers prudently evaluate industry¡¦s heading west to China, how to reduce the conflict faced by the enterprise & employees is becoming one of the important issues for experts & enterprises recently. Referring to the interimportance & the interdependence of the criteria items that the experts selected in evaluation of the inclination to detain for oversea dispatching staff, AHP was applied to compare the interimportance of the clusters, and then ANP was applied to compare the interdependence of the clusters, and the expert questionnaires were collected. The interimportance of the questionnaires was calculated through AHP, and the interdependence was calculated through ANP in order to construct the weighting system of the inclination to detain for oversea dispatching staff, as the reference to the policy of oversea dispatch for the subject company. It can increase the scientific factors for human decisions. Data of C Company was analyzed through ANP & the findings were as follows. 1. The weight of all the criteria items for the effect of the policy of heading west to China on the inclination to detain for oversea dispatching staff. Criteria Item Weight Individual Factor Working Pressure 9.54% 59.82% Career Development 28.13% Individual Inclination 22.15% Organizational Factor Leadership 12.27% 40.18% Dispatch System 10.73% Supporting System 13.36% Organizational Culture 3.81% Total 100.00% 2.

[pt] Esta tese investiga a formação da historiografia moderna através do gênero crônica no império português. Escrita na segunda metade do século XVI, a Ásia de João de Barros possui uma história singular, sendo sua escrita continuada por dois cronistas de Goa no século XVII, Diogo do Couto e António Bocarro. Neste estudo, busco estabelecer as definições e funções do conceito de história na cultura letrada humanista portuguesa e as variações de práticas historiográficas, coêtaneas ao estabelecimento do Estado da Índia, entre cronistas e viajantes do Império Turco-Otomano e do Malabar. Nossa hipótese sustenta o argumento de que nesse período surge um regime de historicidade distinto do praticado no Medievo, o qual denominamos pela categoria histórias do mundo. / [en] This thesis investigates the formation of modern historiography through the chronic genre in the Portuguese empire. Written in the second half of the 16th century, Asia, by João de Barros has a unique history and its writing was continued by two writers of Goa in the seventeenth century, Diogo do Couto and António Bocarro. In this study, I seek to establish the definitions and functions of the concept of history in the literate humanist Portuguese culture and the variations of historiographic practices, related to the establishment of the State of India between chroniclers and travelers of the Ottoman-Turkish Empire and Malabar. Our hypothesis supports the argument that in this period a regime of historicity emerges distinct from that practiced in the Middle Ages, which is called by the category stories of the world.

吳玉山提出「後極權資本主義發展國家」的概念來形容為何中國在維持高速經濟發展的同時，依然保有對國家機器的控制與公民社會的滲透，他認為中國大陸發展趨勢乃是揉合了蘇東和東亞模式，經改上的亮眼表現雖然帶來政治參與的壓力，但中共卻能夠有效轉化這些壓力，回應外界挑戰並且持續執政、鞏固一黨領導。隨著中國大陸擴展國際視野，具有留學背景的菁英也逐漸在高層政治中嶄露頭角，然而海歸菁英由於曾經接觸西方民主思潮，因此成為政治甄用對象中最有可能產生價值矛盾的族群。依循這樣的思路，本文試圖從政治菁英甄補（political recruitment）的面向，解釋中共如何在推動經濟成長的同時延續國家統治的絕對優勢。本文發現海歸派在政治領域中發揮諮詢的功能並扮演執行的角色，主要集中在學術單位與政府職能部門。在仕途發展方面，除了在原生系統升遷之外，海歸官員於不同升遷渠道間的水平流動，以「政府機關往人大政協」的晉升為主。我們認為造成這種現象的原因，乃是中共致力於推動現代化建設，但另一方面又擔心西方民主思想滲透動搖共產黨領導的結果。 / The party control over state apparatuses and civil society has remained strong during China’s rapid economic rise. The approach China has taken after economic reform has been an amalgamation of the Soviet/Eastern European and East Asian models, which is the Post-Totalitarian Capitalist Developmental State, provided by Yu-Shan Wu. Foreign-educated returnees have already emerged in China’s political arena as a distinguished political elite group, as characterized by the skills for external communication and technical knowledge that they posses. Furthermore, for the foreign-educated political elite, the experience of oversea studies also may cause tension between the one-party dictatorship thinking and the western democratic ideals in their mind. We attempt to explain how the CCP simultaneously promotes economic growth and maintains political domination from the dimension of political recruitment. There are two main findings in this paper: First, most of the returnees work in academic units and professional departments in government. They play the role of consultants or executives during decision making processes. Second, for career paths the most obvious political mobility of the foreign-educated elites among recruitment channels is the “Government toward NPC and CPPCC”. To conclude, this reveals that the Chinese leaders are determined on preventing the penetration of western democratic ideals on one hand, and accelerating the modernization of China on the other.

“Daigou” (代購), a term originally from mainland China, has become a robust industry and novel business model in China for a few years with the market expanding 19 times between 2008 and 2012. Due to government intervention and trust-related problems, Daigou market size has been in decline since 2014 with sales volume of only about 40 billion CNY in 2015 (as compared to 57 billion CNY in 2014). In order to fully understand what Daigou is and how it works, this paper focuses on the Chinese market. The Thesis not only investigates many aspects of the Daigou industry including its key elements, target products, customer groups, market potentials, development trends, and influences, but also sums up all information about the current Daigou market in China and to analyze how its future may be. As Daigou business grows from startup to maturity, different problems and opportunities arise, demanding different business solutions. The change of business models is necessary to suit today’s market needs because what worked a year ago might no longer be the best approach nowadays. The evolution of Daigou is presented by making use of five major business models to show how each business model changed to keep up with the market. The impacts of diverse factors on different business models and to the individuals, community and other businesses, are also covered with the use of literature review, personal interviews and qualitative research.

Collectivité d'outre-mer au sens des dispositions de l'article 74 de la Constitution de la Vème République, la Polynésie française est compétente en matière de santé. C'est à ce titre qu'elle élabore, en collaboration avec l'État, un droit médical spécifique, sensé répondre à ses particularités géographiques, démographiques et culturelles. De cette spécificité découle un droit médical s'éloignant peu à peu du droit métropolitain, entraînant une inégalité de droits et/ou devoirs entre patients/praticiens polynésiens et métropolitains, pourtant citoyens de la République française. C'est également au titre de sa compétence que la Polynésie française organise son système de santé. Organisé autour d'un secteur public hérité de l'époque coloniale, et d'un secteur libéral inspiré du modèle métropolitain, celui-ci atteint ses limites. Aussi des réformes, possiblement innovantes, sont nécessaires afin d'en assurer la pérennité. / French Polynesia is a French Oversea collectivity regarding the article 74 of the Constitution of the Vth Republic and is competent in health law and policies. It is as such that French Polynesia elaborates, in association with the French State, a specific medical law regarding its geographic, demographic and cultural specificities.From this organization ensues a local medical law marked by an increasing distortion with the metropolitan medical law, entailing an inequity of rights/duties between Polynesians and metropolitans patients/physicians, yet both being citizens of the French Republic.It is also on such basis that French Polynesia may organize its health service. Organized around a public sector inherited from colonial era, and a liberal sector inspired by the metropolitan model, the local health system reaches its limits. Hence, French Polynesia has to perform the necessary, and innovative, reforms to ensure the perpetuity of its health system.
