Kaohsiung has positioned itself vis-à-vis Mainland China which is situated in East Asia and has embraced two rapidly increasing global commercial centers: one of the massive cities group of Greater Hong Kong, including Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Zhuhai and Macau and the other, Greater Shanghai, including Shanghai, Wuxi, Suzhou, Nanjing, and Ningbo. It is estimated that by 2020 the development of the coastal areas of Southeast Mainland China and the Yangtze River Delta will bring a second wave of rapid economic growth. Utilizing such a massive market power and regardless an economic integration via a CEPA formation, a West coastal economic area model or a shared market model across the Taiwan Strait, Kaohsiung should deem it important to seize the opportunity and function as a pioneer for direct cross-strait transportation with its advantageous position in the above-mentioned area. It should join the ensuing market and, through the massive market power of a harbor city, strengthen its advantages to attract more students from Mainland China to study in Kaohsiung. It is hoped that those who come to study in Kaohsiung will recognize Kaohsiung¡¦s advantageous position and learn democracy at campus and how to tolerate multi-culturalism. Moreover, it is hoped that through interpersonal interactions they will see Kaohsiung as their dwelling place for their work and life and subsequently utilize the city as a nexus point to reach the rest of the world.
Employing the research method of Interactive Management (IM), the present study conducted two interactive symposiums on researching how to enhance the human resources in Kaohsiung in the aftermath of the direct cross-strait transportation. The participants to the interactive symposiums have come up with 12 strategies as the prerequisite preparations for the ultimate purpose of the symposiums ¡V to enhance the economic development of Kaohsiung and to attract high-quality human power to move to and dwell in Kaohsiung in order to contribute to the development of Kaohsiung.
Concerning the issue of recruiting the students of Mainland China to receive the higher education in Kaohsiung, the result of the study indicates that the symposium participants demonstrate a higher degree of consensus on 1) how the universities and colleges in Kaohsiung should enhance their competitiveness and 2) a mutual recognition of the academic certificates as the most important pre-condition of the communication of the higher education across the strait. Moreover, in the second interactive symposium, in spite of the escalation of opinion diversion, it also shows that the symposium participants gradually adjusted their individual opinions to respecting and understanding others¡¦ opinions. Subsequently, a consensus was reached through brainstorming, independent thinking, rational debating and publicly opinion-expressing.
