Market Opportunity of China Telecom 3G Toward 4G - A Social-Technical Analysis for its Future Development
2013
In the Information and communication Technology (ICT) field, the success a new player will face is the challenge for the opportunity of new market development. China's mobile subscribers grew by 9.93 millions to 1.132 billions in February 2013.The convenience of communication prompted China’s growth, but there is little information available in literature about how it happened and what the next development steps will be for the China Telecom Industry.The purpose of this paper is an attempt to picture the future growth path of China Telecom market opportunities from 3G toward 4G and beyond, including viewing this from the angles of telecom/internet e-commerce regulation development; globaliz…
The Development of the Activity-Based Costing Method: A Comparison between France and China
2011
In France, like in the USA, ABC was considered as a remedy for the crisis of management accounting. Now, the level of diffusion in France is as important as in Anglo-Saxon countries. Not surprisingly, the ABC method is more developed in western countries than in China. Chinese scholars began to do researches on ABC in the 1990s and at the beginnings of the 21st century, we can observe some ABC implementations in Chinese manufacturing enterprises and then in the service industries. We can also find a similarity between the Chinese and French situations. In France, we have observed some resistances to the Anglo-Saxon way of manage firms and at the beginnings, a tool like ABC has been strongly…
The effects of the English language on the cultural identity of Chinese university students
2011
Tutkielman tarkoituksena on selvittää kuinka englannin kieli on vaikuttanut kiinalaisten yliopistotason englannin pääaineopiskelijoiden kulttuuri-identiteettiin. Englannin kieltä Kiinassa on tutkittu paljon, mutta ei juurikaan kulttuurin ja kulttuuri-identiteetin kannalta. Tämä tutkimus pyrkii vastaamaan seuraaviin kysymyksiin: 1) Onko englannin kielen lisääntynyt vaikutus Kiinassa vaikuttanut kiinalaiseen kulttuuriin ja ihmisiin? Jos on, koetaanko muutokset positiivisina vai negatiivisina, ja vaikuttavatko ne jotenkin kiinalaisten kulttuuri-identiteettiin? 2) Ovatko yliopisto-opiskelijoiden omat asenteet kiinalaista kulttuuria kohtaan muuttuneet englannin kielen ja läntisen kulttuurin vaik…
The Complexity Turn in Cultures’ Consequences on Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and Quality-of-Life
2017
This study examines influences on quality-of-life of national cultures as complex wholes and entrepreneurship activities in Brazil, Russia, India, China, Germany, and the United States. The study tests McClelland’s (1961) and more recent scholars’ proposition that some cultural recipes nurture entrepreneur startups while other cultures are biased toward thwarting startups. The study applies complexity theory to construct and empirically test a general theory of cultures’, entrepreneurship’s, and innovation’s impact on quality-of-life across nations. Because culture represents a complex whole of attitudes, beliefs, values, and behavior, the study applies a set-theoretic approach to theory co…
Master International Franchising in China: The Case of the Athlete’s Foot
2016
Franchising in China is a relatively new and growing phenomenon, which has gained momentum since the 1990s. Among the franchising pioneers in China are large and well-known food and beverage brands, such as KFC and McDonald’s. Less well known, but equally important, are the non-food retailing and service industries, which also made inroads in China using franchising. One such example is the case of the Athlete’s Foot Company. This American company has been a major competitor in the athletic shoes and sportswear sectors globally, made early entry into China using master international franchising, and, consequently, ran into problems indicative of the issues companies that expand internationa…

Does FDI in China Displace Foreign Jobs in Asia?
2014
This paper studies the China effect from a novel perspective. We focus on the effect of FDI in China on foreign employment flows in the rest of Asia. The concentration of FDI in China may divert employment from similar surrounding countries. Offsetting this negative effect, MNE activities might spillover to neighboring countries along the foreign production chain. Therefore, the effect of global FDI champions is uncertain. Most studies on this issue focus on trade and FDI inflows. The China effect on other aspects of international production, like employment, remains largely unknown. The contributions of this paper are twofold. First, we enhance the estimation of the China effect with recen…

Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability of Local Community: A Case Study of the Transnational Project in China-Pakistan Economic Corridor
2019
While achieving great benefits, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has triggered potential problems between the transnational projects and local communities in the participant countries. However, there is still a knowledge gap on how corporate social responsibility (CSR) is adopted, and how CSR affects the local community. Based on a context of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), this research exploits a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods to fill the gap. It finds that the CSR activities in the CPEC project are initiated by the long-term CSR initiative. Organized by the professional CSR foundation in an autonomous environment, the panoramic CSR activities are governed …
