The paper studies China's telecommunication industry and Chinese-owned companies. From analysis on the regulatory environment. corporate governance structure and management incentives, we discuss the challenges of building world-class companies in China. The paper is in two parts. In the first part, we use the frameworks of supply chain and disruptive technology to investigate the competitive landscape of China's telecom industry. We conclude that the state-owned operators dominate the entire telecom value chain. Because of the internal and external environments, these carriers have rigid technology and market outlooks. The regulatory environment reinforces the rigidity. We argue that the industry structure has stifled the emergence of truly disruptive technologies in China. In the second part, we analyze the corporate governance and management incentives of the state-owned operators in greater details. We conclude that the state imposes on the operators many, often conflicting, goals unrelated to profit maximization. As a result, the carriers have government responsibilities that are incompatible to their business goals. The problem will not be fundamentally solved until the roles of ownership. corporate governance and management are clearly defined.

After the opening-up policy in 1978, China's economy grew rapidly. By 2011, due to its relentless double-digit annual growth, China overtook Japan and became the second largest economy in the world. Meanwhile, China has entered into the consumer era. This dissertation examines to what extent the globalization of consumerism results in a homogenization of spending habits in different locations despite diverse cultural traditions and variable levels of economic development. The research investigates attitudes and behavior concerning consumption among the Chinese new middle class in Beijing, one of the global cities of China, to explore whether Western consumption theories apply to Chinese society and, further, to anticipate the possible trajectories of China's consumption patterns in the future. The dissertation seeks to answer the following questions: 1) Has Confucianism had a significant impact on the consumption patterns of the people in China? 2) Do unique Chinese cultural characteristics, such as face and guanxi, also affect consumption practices? 3) Has the legacy of the Cultural Revolution continued to influence the older middle classes' material consumption? 4) How does the older generation pass on their views about consumption to their offspring and influence their children's consumption patterns? 5) Will China follow the same trajectories as most developed countries and, if not, what mechanisms will drive it along a different historical path? 6) Do Bourdieu's three important concepts-cultural capital, habitus, and field apply in the Chinese context? My analysis draws on qualitative interviews with 50 middle class respondents in Beijing, supplemented by ethnographic observations of their purchasing behavior. Further evidence is derived from an analysis of newspaper articles and academic scholarship relevant to the study. I find that although consumption in all areas of Chinese life has increased rapidly since the 1980s, China does not appear to be following the Western consumption model because of its unique institutions, a different culture, and practices like face and guanxi. In addition, although Bourdieu's theory has some value when describing Chinese consumption practices, his approach also needs to be revised to meet the unique character of Chinese society.

Entering the 21st Century, after almost 30 years development of the Chinese economy, several famous Chinese firms have grown to a significant scale and achieved the rudiments of world-class corporations. Following Japanese and Korean corporations, several firms began their globalization and expansion: Lenovo, Haier, Huawei, and TCL. During the short period of Chinese corporations' globalization, however, they have faced various kinds of difficulties and challenges. Starting from case analyses of eight major electronics corporations (including Philips, Motorola, Toshiba, LG, Acer, Lenovo, Huawei, and TCL, corporations in Europe, USA, Japan, Korea, Taiwan of China and mainland China), the thesis expounds the course of their growth from a historical perspective. It uses the approach of comparison, conclusion and deduction to seek common elements of their success and the common issues faced in their development. The case studies are the principal factual basis of the discussion in the thesis. The main text starts from consideration of organizational and cultural innovation and discusses the forms, evolution, and innovation in organizational development.
(cont.) At the same time, I analyze the differences in typical methodology, system, and culture resulting from the differences in national culture in America, Japan, and China. Based on the characteristics of Chinese "Small Groupism" culture, I propose that a solution for Chinese organizational management and cultural innovation is to establish the "Rigid Frame and Flexible Organism," in other words to establish management and cultural bureaucratic organization. In Chapter III, from the perspective of practical application, I explain the methods of diagnosing organizational culture and how effectively to advance innovation in organizational culture. Hereafter, based on the trend and scale analysis of the eight corporations, I draw conclusions as to the common elements in their development as well as guidance for the development and globalization of Chinese electronic corporations. Based on the framework to establish the "Rigid Frame and Flexible Organism", I address in detail recommendations for Chinese firms.

Full textThe rapid emergence of China has been accompanied by a significant increase in inequalities, resulting in profound changes affecting both the economic and social structures of China. The purpose of this doctoral thesis is to provide a better understanding of the diversity of these transformations, by combining macro and microeconomic analyses, together with economic and sociological approaches. Firstly, this research mobilizes provincial data in order to give a general overview of the level of regional disparities and of the spatial concentration of wealth. The recent decline in regional disparities can, among other things, be explained by the existence of growth spillover effects between Chinese provinces. Subsequently, the study is supplemented by the use of household survey data. The analysis of income polarization in rural and urban areas allows to highlight some shifts in its distribution, emphasizing in particular the constitution of population clusters in intermediate income ranges. An intensive investigation on the Chinese urban middle class is thereafter conducted so as to identify its members on an income-based definition, and to underline the heterogeneity of this category regarding employment and education. Finally, based on the example of food consumption and social attitude towards body weight, the vanguard role of middle class in the nutrition transition is highlighted. To conclude, the Chinese middle class appears to be a central category to ensure the further development of China

This research uses Macromedia Captivate to establish the Chinese adaptive digital learning. With the adaptation of proficient learning way, it helps the learner avoid the waste of repetitive learning. The curriculum present takes the example of the classical Chinese teaching by the higher grades, and does experiment of digital teaching by the sixth grade. The result of the teaching way on the students' learning is estimated. The subject did not provide an immediate answer, nessary to fully answer the topic, which can pass the stage. If failing in it, students should go into the remedying teaching and then test again to pass this stage.So,when students repeat the study, must find themselves the wrong place, And not directly by the system to tell them. To make the students find out what they should learn, the formative assessment of the research will be set in order and be narrowed, so that the students will not lose the interest of learning because of spending too much time after failing in it. The conclusions of this study are as follows: 1. the accuracy by the students of experimental group is higher than by the traditional teaching.2. The sequenced and specified preposition database enables students to master the learning materials more effectively. 3. The teachers can understand the level of the students more quickly and accurately.

How does Chinese society define the class and stratum? Why do the classified methods and the standards of the class and stratum take place? The thesis primarily concentrates on studying the class and stratum in Chinese society. Reviewing class and stratification concepts, the reexamination of theories and the establishment of analytical framework, the thesis claims that the classified methods of the class and stratum are usually motivated by political purposes. That is to say, new class and the stratum categories derive from the alternations of political purposes. Hence, in addition to assisting readers to understand how Chinese class and stratum are classified, the result of the research can also predict the future development of class and stratum in Chinese society by means of the reformation of politics, economy, and the society.

This study describes the cognitive affective learning effect and the learners’ reflective voices with regards to role-playing in elementary Chinese class. A total of 36 fifth-graders were invited in this study. After learning a text, students would discuss in small groups on how to adapt the text for role-play and then present their adaptations to the class. After role-playing, there would be a class discussion on the text-related dramatics and students would criticize or ask questions about the ways in which other groups presented the text. This study includes interpretative research and narrative analysis. The conversations between students and the teacher were the focus of the study. The researcher would use narration to report her experiences. The major results drawn from this study are as follows. First, students’ adaptations and role-playing in the Chinese class are always in keeping with children’s life experiences. Second, if students can cooperate and observe the rules, learning in teamwork would be more effective. Third, emotional awareness and situated cognition can be constructed from students’ cooperation in the adapting of texts. Fourth, it is easier to adapt concrete themes than forms. And fifth, students have both positive and negative experiences of role-playing in the Chinese class. Moreover, this study would explicate in terms of multiple intelligence the learning and personal growth of a focus group through the adaptation and role-playing in the Chinese class. The focus group included four students: one was speechless, another irresponsible, another rebellious and the fourth chatty. Role-playing in the Chinese class, focusing on theme integration, can open multiple learning experiences and get alternative learning results. It can be a useful teaching strategy.

Abstract The objectives of this study were to investigate, within the context of the Chinese Language Program for New Inhabitants, the similarities and the differences between traditional class management and humanistic class management, as well as their respective characteristics and potential for further development and improvement. The participants of the study were 10 teachers and 40 students from several Chinese classes of a primary school in New Taipei City, and 10 teachers and 10 students from a Chinese class of a community college in Taipei. In order to better understand various aspects of class management, data were collected through class observations and interviews with teachers and students, and suggestions for improvements and further developments were presented based on the analysis of the results. The results of the study showed that (1) Teachers from the primary school in New Taipei City were more motivated and enthusiastic in participating in research projects concerning the curriculum and pedagogy of Chinese language for new inhabitants; (2) The primary school provided different guidance and assistance according to the different language levels and needs of its learners, while the community college provided differentiated instruction in a sequential fashion. Homework guidance and comprehensive assessments were provided in the primary school, but not in the community college; (3) The community college provided better classroom equipment, whereas the primary school provided a better learning environment and after school child care; (4) The primary school used teacher expectation and peer influence to encourage new inhabitants to continue their language study upon the completion of the basic course, whereas the teachers in community college did not push their learners for further studies. The primary school offered multicultural activities exclusively out of class, but the community college integrated multicultural activities in class. According to research results, both the primary school and the community college have development potential: (1) Volunteer teachers from the community college can better use their time to provide non-language instruction related services to new inhabitants such as consultation and parenting; (2) Teachers from the community college should use different methods to evaluate new inhabitants’ learning progress , (3) Volunteer teachers from the community college should have a better labor division and job description ; (4) Teacher from both types of schools should continue to participate in the professional development designed for teaching Chinese as a Second Language; and (5) Teachers from the community college should better use the power of teacher expectation to encourage their learners for further studies. Key words: New inhabitants, Chinese as a Second Language, Chinese class, Class management,

The objective of this thesis focuses on the pedagogical application of the use of cartoons for students in developing Chinese language use at Thai-Chinese International School. BothCommunicative Language Teaching (CLT) and Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) in the development of the curriculum for teaching Chinese as a second language which includes an overview of the current curriculum available for primary school students at the Thai-Chinese International School. It also includes a summary of literature information on research conducted on the use of film and multi-media in teaching. A questionnaire was designed and conducted to gain background knowledge of student demographics with regards to one’s motivation to learn Chinese, and interests in cartoons in their daily life. An additional survey was conducted which involved interviewing primary school Chinese teachers and gathering their perspectives on applying cartoons in teaching Chinese. The results of the survey were then used to study the application of a Chinese curriculum where appropriate cartoons were selected and integrated in their curriculum. Survey results also suggest that the primary learning interests of students is to obtain oral instruction paired with many activities to practice oral abilities. In summary, literature and survey results suggest that cartoons are a popular medium among primary school students, and can be leveraged appropriately to stimulate motivation and interests of students as they learn a second language. However, most cartoons nowadays are created for entertainment, and few are tailored towards teaching Chinese as a second language. Therefore, teachers have to be aware and choose carefully the types of cartoons that can be used in their curriculum in order to meet class objectives and students’ needs. This thesis will hopefully stimulate further research in this area and promotes additional interests in developing and leveraging the use of cartoons for teaching Chinese as a second language.

Romanization and Chinese characters are two main backbones of the Taiwanese instruction. Previous researches indicated that the learning effects of Taiwanese Romanization were not good without proper methods. There were only few studies in connection with teaching Chinese characters. Hence, this study aimed at the effects on teaching Chinese characters in Taiwanese class of the senior grades of the elementary school. From Research-1, we found that the student who used the J Version of the textbook got low marks for the test in Chinese characters. The scores were scattering. The average score was 36.57 and the standard deviation was 21.49. As a general rule, students’ marks will be centralized and the average score will be higher than sixty if the Chinese characters teaching really take effect. Based on Research-2, through the action research, we detected that the average score on the first Chinese test in the experimental class of the fifth grade reached to 98.43 and the standard deviation fell to 2.74. For the second test held half a year after the end of the teaching, the average score still reached to 95.71 and the standard deviation was 6.25. It showed clearly that the students got good results in learning Chinese characters and their marks were quite centralized. In addition, the researcher discovered that Book 9-12 of J Version were thicker than those of Mandarin but didn’t train the students to read and write. It was against the syllabus and not in accord with the development of children’s body and mind. Conversely, the textbooks of H Version contained 3823 words and were beneficial for the students to foster the ability of reading and writing. It conformed to the syllabus and physically and mentally development.

Abstract This study takes “the Chinese Zodiac” as the theme and aims to discuss how to integrate the Chinese Zodaic into the culture component of an intermediate Chinese as a second lan-guage class. The experimental teaching is designed for the purpose of intergrating the cultural theme, based on 5C Standards (America ACTFL’s Standards for Foreign Language Learning in the 21st Century), the principlesof Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), and combine elements of Chinese idioms related to twelve Chinse Zodiac. This study adopts the methodology of “Action Research,” and the author instructed this designed culture class for eight foreign students who are learning Chinese in an intermediate class. By using research tools of “Pretest and post teast”, “Classroom observation record”, “Teaching reflection notes”, “Analysis of interviews”, this study trys to explore students’ learning conditions, their commiuniation ability, uses of words and expressions, and interests enchancement as well. The instructor recorded reflections during the teaching progress for the improvement at the same time. In this study, the qualitative approach is adopted to examine the students’ oral behaviors in class. The Quantitative approach is used to analyze the results of the pretest and posttest. After the experimental teaching, the students have increased their class participation; the stu-dents became positive, initiative, and started to respond enthusiastically. The students also have improved their capacity of linking with different culturel knowledge, enhanced the competence of communicating with people, and had greater interest in the Chinese Zodiac and other Chinese cultural learning. It reached an effective teaching integrating culture com-ponent into a language teaching class. Based on the teaching and research results, this study proposed that the culture class may be integrated into the language teaching well by considering specific themes class. The above essential principles should be considered to reach effective learning. Finally, this study has been collated and analyzed in order to assist future progress in the field of culture teach-ing. Key words: the Chinese Zodiac, Chinese Culture Teaching in TCSOL, an Intermediate Chi-nese Class, 5C Stanards, Standards for Foreign Language Learning in the 21st Century.

Since 1998, Indonesia’s Chinese education is revived which coincide with the rising of Chinese pop cultures and the increase of enthusiasm from Indonesian students in learning Chinese. Unfortunately, the restriction of Chinese culture in the past comes with various issues in Chinese education. This thesis is researching the application of trendy dramas in Chinese education to increase the communication skill of intermediate and advanced level of Indonesian students. This research is utilizing documents analysis, investigation analysis and developmental research method, and also gathering ideas from teachers and students. The data will then being used as a basis to design the class. Trial classes are held to test the effectivity of classes’ activities. This research has designed 9 activities combined with drama scenes. The activities are word hunter, fill in the blanks, mute the voice, storytelling, discussion, role player and write diary. This research propose that Chinese trendy dramas material could help to increase students’ communication skill by providing native language environment, massive input of language, a relaxed learning environment to increase learning effectivity and study materials which can be watch many times anywhere and anytime. Furthermore, the downside of this material namely the difficulty of the language used in dramas above its students’ ability, Taiwanese culture and traditions could lead to cross-culture issues, also every drama will lose its own popularity. Leading to the need of attentions from the teachers when they choose drama as the classes materials. Lastly, this research suggests the principle in designing curriculum of Chinese classes based on trendy dramas materials is to have a course with 2 sessions. First session is aimed to practice language skill, while the second session is aimed to teach language knowledge.

WordNet is a lexical database, which organizes English nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs according to word sense and relationship between senses. It has been applied increasingly to many knowledge-based NLP tasks as main lexical resource, because of it wide-coverage semantic and conceptual information. WordNets for many European languages other then English are being developed in recent years. This paper proposes an approach to semi-automatic construction of Chinese WordNet using a class-based statistical model. Our approach to the problem of constructing Chinese WordNet is via translation of English WordNet. The main problem we have to tackle is to select the appropriate word translation for each word sense. We observe that English words for a common concept tend to have common Chinese characters in their translations. Our method consists of 1) classifying English words into several semantic classes and 2) building a class-based statistical model for estimating word translation probabilities. We have carried out experiments on handling nouns in the WordNet and evaluate our results based on coverage and recall rate. The evaluation shows our approach can achieve 76.43% coverage. The recall rate is 70%, 80% and 90% when top 1, top 2, and top 3 translations are used respectively.
Kwon, June Hee. "Mobile Ethnicity: The Formation of the Korean Chinese Transnational Migrant Class." Diss., 2013. http://hdl.handle.net/10161/8075.
Full textThis dissertation, Mobile Ethnicity, examines the formation of a transnational ethnic working class and the dynamics of remittance development in the context of Korean Chinese labor migration between China and Korea. I conducted multi-sited field research for over two years, mainly in Seoul, South Korea, and the Korean Chinese Autonomous Prefecture of Yanbian, China, the ethnic zone bordering North Korea. My ethnography is built on a local saying: "Everybody is gone with the Korean Wind." The Korean Wind is the popular name for the massive Korean Chinese transnational labor migration to South Korea that occurred mostly during the 1990s and 2000s, at the intersection of post-Cold War and post-socialist cultures. I especially highlight the Korean Wind as a unique product of China's economic reform and open economy (gaigekaifang), which has affected not only Korean Chinese but also Han Chinese in Yanbian and elsewhere in the region.
Through the lenses of kinship, development, money, love, bodies, and time, I analyze the new affect and materiality, new forms of belonging and dwelling, and new hopes and frustrations of mobile ethnicity. On the one hand, I trace the reconstituted subjectivity of Korean Chinese as a particular ethnic working class in a transnational setting. On the other hand, I map the re-characterized ethnic space of Yanbian as a borderland traversed by a myriad of different agents. Caught between the "Korean dream" and the "Chinese dream," Korean Chinese have chosen transnational mobility as a way of dealing with the contingencies of neoliberalism and globalization. But their way of working for a better future has created unexpected vulnerabilities, sealing them into a circuit of migration as a transnational ethnic working class.
This ethnography illuminates the ripple effects of the Korean Wind with a focus on remittances, as Korean Chinese have discovered, promoted, and deployed their ethnic currency in the transnational labor market. On a macro level, remittances play a critical role in relocating populations (both pulling them into spaces and pulling them out), and create an intersection of internal migration and transnational migration, thereby reshaping the ethnic relationships and spatial characteristics of the region. I emphasize the vulnerable characteristics of a remittance-dependent economy, which fluctuates in response to exchange rates and global economic forces. On a personal level, remittances are not only gifts or realizations of familial duty, but also an unstable form of currency requiring careful management and submission to a peculiar temporality of long waits and unknown futures. The life built upon the contingent flow of remittances has created and been impacted by the transnational temporality, constantly moving back and forth between the sharply split worlds; working and resting, making money and spending money, Korea and Yanbian. Rigid visa regulations by the Korean government especially force migrant workers into a "split life," as they must weave two different worlds into a common everyday life, and discipline their bodies to switch easily between two different modes of time.
This study examines "Yanbian Socialism" that has responded to and intersected with the Korean Wind, a particular socialism that stresses overt expressions of the Korean Chinese political faith in China while acknowledging the prefecture's cultural and economic links to Korea. My dissertation aims to weave together an account of the particular structure of feeling experienced by Korean Chinese as they are caught between confusion and hesitation, contention and contradiction, economic desperation and political caution. I view their constant adjustments and revisions as a major influence on the formation of mobile ethnicity. My work thus provides a new understanding of the politics of class and gender among Chinese ethnic minorities, articulated through transnational mobility at the intersection of post-Cold War, post-socialist, and neoliberal currents across and beyond East Asia.

The main purpose of the study is to explore that teacher’s questioning arrangement of curriculum, the characteristics of interaction between teacher and students, and try to understand the relevance of teacher’s questioning and students’ response, if the classroom discourse they build up together could help students construct knowledge witch is meaningful to them, in the 5th grade Chinese class. The study was proceeded with qualitative method of case study and data were collected through 10 weeks participant observation, tape and video recording, documents and interview with the teacher and some students. The main findings of the study are as follows: 1. Different types of questions provide various functions in Chinese class: The case teacher offers multiple questions to stimulate students to involve into the class discussion and encourage them thinking, communicating and applying the knowledge they have already owned. Meanwhile, different types of questions makes the class operating smoothly and orderly. 2. Teacher releases power elastically, and it will arouse students’ self-directed learning: When students have much more chances to interact with classmates, and they listen to each other and discuss issues together, so that will lead students try to search answers and eager to solve the contradiction between their own knowledge and the reality problem. Hence under the context of inquiry, effective classroom discourse encourage students to show positive in learning. 3. Teacher’s companion and guide affect students’ aspiration for knowledge: Teacher’s words in class is not the existence of authority, it should be the guide students needed and be willing to learn with students. Therefore, that allows students to hold back the right to learn, and have them thoroughly immerse in the learning text. It not only lets students access to the knowledge, but also train them to deal with the unknown.

Chinese characters are an important part of Chinese language. Chinese characters teaching are often found in Chinese language classes, however, it is not easy for the Chinese teacher to spend sufficient time in Chinese classes to teach the origions of Chinese characters and help the learner to memorize Chinese characters. As a result, the learner falls behind in learning Chinese characters; some even stop taking Chinese language courses. It has become a common situation in the Chinese language classe where the learner does not know how to learn Chinese characters, while the teacher has no time to teach them. This research aims to study such situation by setting up a Chinese characters class and design the curriculum based on learning theories and Chinese character teaching strategies in teaching Chinese as a second language. It is suggested that the approach to teaching Chinese characters in Chinese language class is to start with what the learner knows, which might be based on Chinese learner’s pre-existing knowledge of the language. It could also be the new words that Chinese learner has learned through proper language teaching strategies. It is expected that the learner will develop his/her self-learning ability through Chinese characters class.
