Full textAbstract:
Research that addresses policy measures to increase the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) has discussed government regulations such as California’s Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) or penalties on petroleum-based fuels. Relatively few articles have addressed policy measures designed to increase the adoption of EVs by incentives to influence car buyers’ voluntary behavior. This article examines the effects of such policy measures. Two of these attributes are monetary measures, two others are traffic regulations, and the other three are related to investments in charging infrastructure. Consumer preferences were assessed using a choice-based conjoint analysis on an individual basis by applying the hierarchical Bayes method. In addition, the Kano method was used to elicit consumer satisfaction. This not only enabled the identification of preferences but also why preferences were based on either features that were “must-haves” or on attributes that were not expected but were highly attractive and, thus, led to high satisfaction. The results of surveys conducted in 20 countries in 5 continents showed that the installation of a charging network on freeways is an absolute necessity. This was completely independent from the average mileage driven per day. High cash grants were appreciated as attractive; however, combinations of lower grants with charging facilities resulted in similar preference shares in market simulations for each country. The results may serve as initial guidance for policymakers and practitioners in improving their incentive programs for electric mobility.

Logan, Erica. "Children and healthy eating: A global, policy and school curriculum perspective." Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 2005. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/1569.
Full textAbstract:
Healthy eating is a topic most people would consider they have an understanding of, yet it is an area which is not often addressed from a critical perspective. Healthy eating is freely discussed in society. It is a dominant discourse used commercially and frequently appears in educational 'texts', however the discourses surrounding healthy eating for children are not well analysed and are most often controlled by the media and often not challenged. A critical perspective to children's eating is adopted for this portfolio and multiple perspectives bought to bare regarding the globalisation of food cultures, and governance and policy influences on healthy eating for children. Healthy eating for children is presented and problematised as a concept while family changes in eating patterns and curriculum influences are interpreted and challenged through the development of a case study investigation of an educational intervention. Findings of the intervention indicate that families are struggling with the notion of healthy eating through a range of parental pressures whereas and any additional assistance regarding healthy eating for children is well received by parents and accepted by children.

Title: Diplomacy with Chinese Characteristics: The Cultural Aspect of Chinese Foreign Policy in the Example of Sino-American Relations Ambiguity in answers, lack of communication or justification of actions have resulted in a negative depiction of Sino-American relations. I would like to prove the cultural significance as a major factor in influencing Chinese foreign policy regarding the example of Sino-American relations. By applying elements of constructivism, one is able to understand the cultural perspective of Chinese foreign policy in the example of Sino-American relations. Furthermore, this is proven through philosophical application of game theory stratagem.

Liu, Haibo. "Language policy and practice in a Chinese junior high school from global English's perspective." Thesis, University of Southampton, 2016. https://eprints.soton.ac.uk/394811/.
Full textAbstract:
Along with globalization, English as a lingua franca (ELF) has played a more and more important role in international settings. Among English users, the number of English nonnative speakers (NNS) has reached more than 2 billion which has already overtaken the number of English native speakers (NS). However, the fact of using ELF has not been fully recognized, especially in China where there is a huge population of English users and learners who still take English as a foreign language (EFL). Since junior high school education in China affects the largest population of English learners and users and their language beliefs and language behaviours, it is very necessary to investigate the influences of global Englishes on language policy and practice or the compatibility that language policy and practice has had with global Englishes in junior high school in China. The research was a predominantly qualitative study with a quasi-ethnographic approach. The fieldwork took place over a three month period in a public junior high school in China. Questionnaires, interviews and observation were all explored as research instruments for a thick and full description of the research context. With qualitative content analysis approach and from global Englishes perspective, the thesis compares, analyses and integrates how English is stated in English national curriculum (NEC), how it is performed in classroom teaching performance, and how it is perceived by teachers and students. Findings show many inconsistencies and contradictions on English, English using and English teaching/learning among NEC statements, classroom performance and participants’ perception. Importantly, testing, which was Standard English ideology oriented, turned out to have a great wash-back on English learning and teaching, and was found to be one of the most significant factors for the inconsistencies and contradictions. The thesis also shows data for the forthcoming test reform in China. Implications for English pedagogy in China are also given.

Full textAbstract:
International environment efforts are often seen as unsuccessful and the reasons why are not clear. The international negotiations in the IPCC and the EU show that the opinions and ambitions differ quite a lot between the different countries. Even though there are ambitious goals and international agreements, such as the Kyoto Protocol, there are still problems with implementing these at country level. This study examines the implementation process from international to local level focusing on a Swedish context. The aim of the study is to identify the main implementation problems when implementing international environment goals. The study uses a top-down perspective, meaning that it will examine the implementation process from international to local level concentrating at the hierarchical structures and processes. The study uses both text analysis and qualitative interviews in order to collect data, three interviews were conducted in order to collect data about the municipality perspectives. The conclusions of the study implies that a lack of national and local political will together with a high degree of municipality autonomy are the main problems when implementing international environment goals.<br>Internationella miljöförhandlingar anses ofta vara misslyckade och skälen till varför, är oklara. I de internationella förhandlingarna inom ramen för IPCC och EU visar att åsikter och ambitioner skiljer sig ganska mycket mellan olika länder. Även om det finns ambitiösa mål och internationella överenskommelser, till exempel Kyotoprotokollet, finns det fortfarande problem med att implementera dem på nationell nivå. Denna studie undersöker implementeringsprocessen från internationell till lokal nivå sett ur en svensk kontext. Syftet med studien är att identifiera de främsta implementeringsproblemen av internationella miljömål. Studien använder sig av ett top-down-perspektiv, vilket innebär en granskning av implementeringsprocessen från internationell till lokal nivå med fokus på hierarkiska strukturer och processer. Studien använder både textanalys och kvalitativa intervjuer för att samla in data, tre intervjuer har genomförts för att samla in data om kommunala perspektiv. Slutsatserna av studien antyder att brist på nationell och lokal politisk vilja tillsammans med en hög grad av kommunalt självbestämmande är de största problemen vid implementeringen av internationella miljömål.

Full textAbstract:
<p>The objective of this thesis is to investigate how of the concepts of adaptation and vulnerability are defined in IPCC’s third assessment report (TAR) with specific focus on IPCC’s response to the critique from South. I have achieved this by doing a text analysis of the content in TAR. My point of departure was in the position of South and there critiques on the climate change policy. I have divided the objective into different research question where I focus on the definition of vulnerability, the determining factors of adaptive capacity, if there is a difference in vulnerability between and within regions and whether focus is on adaptation or mitigation in TAR. There are two definitions of vulnerability in TAR. One is by Brooks (2003) referred as biophysical and the other as social vulnerability. Which one the authors in the report refer to is not put out which cause confusion. In earlier assessments are the biophysical approach more common than the social. In TAR is the use of vulnerability in terms of social conditions more common than the biophysical. This is an improvement since this definition is necessary to get a greater focus on the need for immediate adaptation, in South particularly. It was somewhat problematic to determine whether the adaptive capacity only on the level of the system was considered in TAR or also exogenous factors, which affect the capacity of the system, was included in the definition. In some sense exogenous factors have been considered however it is not much reflection over this. In the report there is a consensus that the vulnerability differs between regions. However there is not much research conducted in developing countries. Also in the issue of concentration on adaptation or mitigation the problem is that there is not enough research from developing countries. Despite this, this assessment report has more focus on adaptation than the other ones. </p>

Full textAbstract:
This thesis aims to analyze the impacts on U.S. and global sorghum trade, and whether China will continue importing sorghum from the global sorghum market for feed use, if the Chinese government cancels its corn price support policy and corn temporary reserve program nationwide. This study uses the USDA-ERS China Model and the Country-Commodity Linked System (CCLS) to simulate the impacts on U.S. sorghum exports and the reduction of sorghum's global price, global production, and global trade volumes. The simulations are based on three scenarios: if China's sorghum import volume decreased by 50% from USDA-ERS's baseline projection, if China's sorghum import volume decreased by 35% each year from the previous year, and if China's sorghum import volume decreased by 70% from USDA-ERS's baseline projection in year one and by 90% from USDA-ERS's baseline projection in subsequent years.
The modeling system is a large scale multi-country and multi-commodity partial equilibrium dynamic simulation model which solves for global prices and trade using individual country models. Policy instruments are applied to the China model and solved globally. The USDA-ERS China Model and the CCLS, used to project Chinese and global sorghum trends, includes the following policy instruments: tariffs, quotas, tariff rate quotas, export tax, direct payments, input subsidies, and procurement policies. This model simulates projections using price and income elasticities and assumed values for exogenous variables such as income and population growth. This model also incorporates behavior of state trading enterprises and WTO commitments into imported and exported equations for sorghum.<br>Master of Science

Full textAbstract:
This thesis addresses the conditions of SMEs and working conditions in the Chilean agrofood sector. Especially in an economy with a high degree of trade openness as Chilean economy. The current state of debate is that is more controversial the apparent success of Chilean agrofood sector due to the existence of these fault lines. The upgrading theories are mainly narrow minded and do not consider the weakest part of the production chains. It is required accordingly, a broader look to these problems such that embodies these problems. It is a research based mainly in an approach of political economy. Within this context, this thesis explores the role of SMEs within the Chilean economy and, in particular, their participation within the Chilean economy's insertion into global agrofood production networks, with the aim of giving new insights into the debates over the role of industrial policy in developing countries (an economy based on natural resources). This research will contribute to developing recommendations for the use of public policy tools (rejuvenated industrial policy) in an effective way in relation to the development of SMEs in the agrofood sector. Also there is an urgent need for industrial policy to consider working conditions, training and the acquisition of skills in a much more explicit way, particularly in an economy that is heavily based on the exploitation of natural resources as in the Chilean case.

Full textAbstract:
This paper investigates the extent to which the 2008 - 2009 financial crisis impacted economic growth and employment in developing countries, with Zambia as the entity of focus. It further examines the industrial policy strategies employed by the country before, during and after the crisis and whether they have been effective in shielding the country from exogenous shocks and creating sustainable employment opportunities. This provides a unique perspective by evaluating policy responses to external shocks while monitoring the key economic variables highlighted. It draws from conceptual ideas and previous research around the evolution of financial crises and industrial policy, evaluating the manner in which the effects of the former, originating from financial markets in developed economies, trickle down to developing nations with no solid roots in international financial markets. Furthermore, it assesses the application of the latter concept and its ability to preserve and support sustainable economic development. The paper presents an exploratory case study analysis of Zambia which has been negatively affected by the financial crisis to a large extent due to number of vulnerabilities that leave the country exposed. The findings suggest that industrial policy in itself cannot fully insulate developing countries from the dynamic and unpredictable external environment. However, there are a number of policy considerations that can be made, highlighted as concluding recommendations, to support the growth of the economy and mitigate against the impact of inevitable external shocks. It is important to note that each developing country case is unique to itself but generalised findings can still be comparable to other countries that share some fundamental demographic similarities.

Hartzén, Ann-Christine. "The European Social Dialogue in Perspective : Its future potential as an autopoietic system and lessons from the global maritime system of industrial relations." Doctoral thesis, Lund University, 2017. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:lnu:diva-67414.
Full textAbstract:
There are three starting points for this thesis. First, there is the system of ESD, which is criticised for lacking capacity to improve the working conditions within the EU. Secondly, there is the system developed through the global ITF FOC campaign, which is considered to have capacity to improve working conditions for seafarers at a global level. Thirdly, there is the theory on self-referential autopoietic systems, which is a useful tool for analysing systems of industrial relations and their functions. The purpose of this thesis is to deepen the understanding of the function of the ESD in relation to the development of EU legislation and policy with the aim of trying to find a model for providing a holistic analysis of regulatory systems for the labour market. The research questions are: ‘How can the significant differences and similarities between the ESD and the global ITF FOC campaign be understood?’ and ‘Why is the ESD generally regarded as lacking the capacity needed for producing results that improve working conditions, while the ITF FOC is considered to have such capacity?’ The theoretical framework used for the analysis is Luhmann’s theory on autopoietic systems. Since the thesis has a normative core I have applied a methodological model that consists of a two-layer analysis at both the empirical and theoretical level. Firstly an analysis of positivistic values has been carried out and secondly an analysis of hermeneutic values. The empirical material consists of documents and texts that can be considered part of or reflecting the communication of the studied systems. The main conclusion is that whereas the ITF FOC system is a traditional system of industrial relations based on the binary code of negotiable or non-negotiable between collective actors the ESD is a system of industrial relations based on a less clear binary code of discussable or non-discussable. The ESD is also subject to less developed communicative structures that negatively affect the system’s capacity both to produce results and to secure the efficient implementation and application of these results. This makes the ESD as a system more sensitive to hermeneutic values framing the programming of structurally coupled systems causing difficulties for the ESD to challenge such hermeneutic values.

Full textAbstract:
Today, different parts of a value chain operate in different places, different firms may hold ranges of brands with different national heritages, and leaders, shareholders and customers are widely spread across the world. Policy makers are facing new challenges as national borders define less and less of corporate thinking. In this paper, we argue that there is a need to find a new way of how to understand the relationship between business and nation-states. The theoretical framework was constructed by breaking down the concept of national identity of companies. We found four different aspects that we argue can connect business to nations, and in the empirical study, our ambition is to test this framework. By conducting the study using qualitative content analysis, we aim to answer the research question of if it possible to understand the national identity of companies through different aspects of business, and if so, how this is reflected in the national trade policies of four countries. Our results showed that by looking beyond the traditional view of national identity of companies, policy makers have three important factors to take into regards when considering their relations to business; location, culture and contribution.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis assesses the implications of multilateralism on state behaviour and the ability to shape the negotiation outcomes. More specifically, this thesis examines the small European Union (EU) states' strategy, motivation and influence on the agricultural trade negotiations. Small states face greater challenge as the European Council decides trade issues by Qualified Majority Voting which generally favours bigger member states with heavier voting weight. In the current Doha Round negotiations of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) (2000 - 2006), the increasing pressures from within the EU and WTO continue to challenge the viability of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). In particular, the United States and the CAIRNS group countries criticised heavily the EU's protectionist approach to CAP.

Yo, Anna. "La sécurité financière : perspective nouvelle de la lutte internationale contre le blanchiment d'argent et le financement du terrorisme." Thesis, Bourgogne Franche-Comté, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018UBFCF008.
Full textAbstract:
La lutte internationale contre le blanchiment d’argent et le financement du terrorisme peut être définie comme l’ensemble des mesures qui concourent à l’éradication des flux financiers illicites.Le cadre juridique tel qu’il est défini de nos jours et intégré dans les ordres juridiques nationaux est une combinaison des conventions de l’Organisation des Nations Unies (ONU) et des Recommandations du Groupe d’Action Financière (GAFI). Il a été construit ces trente dernières années en raison de la menace que représentent certaines formes de criminalité : trafic illicite de stupéfiants, criminalité transnationale organisée, terrorisme et son financement.La présente étude se propose de matérialiser l’émergence d’un principe intrinsèque à la lutte contre les flux financiers illicites à travers le concept de sécurité financière internationale, qui apparait comme la finalité des mesures adoptées dans le cadre de la lutte internationale contre le blanchiment de capitaux et le financement du terrorisme.Nous illustrons cette hypothèse à partir d’une analyse de la politique criminelle internationale, autrement dit, l’ensemble des procédés par lesquels la communauté internationale organise les réponses au phénomène de la criminalité financière. Celle-ci permet de dessiner les contours de ce que nous qualifions de sécurité financière et démontre que la réponse de la communauté internationale au phénomène de la criminalité financière, tend inexorablement vers l’instauration d’un ordre à l’échelle internationale.Cette sécurité financière est synonyme d’ordre. Un ordre qui s’établit aussi bien en droit international que dans les droits internes, un ordre qui est caractérisé par un « droit à texture multiple avec primauté de la soft law ».Cet ordre justifie et fonde à la fois les obligations préventives et répressives, malgré les restrictions qu’il apporte à certains droits fondamentaux. Cet ordre regroupe de fait, un ensemble de prescriptions dont l’objectif est de préserver la société internationale des facteurs de désordre que sont les flux financiers illicites, le crime organisé, et le terrorisme.La sécurité financière est à la fois un objectif à atteindre et une nécessité majeure.Nous consolidons cette hypothèse par une réflexion sur les enjeux que représente l’instauration d’une sécurité financière et sur les moyens susceptibles d’en garantir l’effectivité<br>The international fight against money laundering and the financing of terrorism can be defined as the set of measures helping eradicate illicit financial flows.The legal framework as it is settled on and implemented into national legal orders is a combination of the United Nations (UN) conventions and the recommendations of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).It was built over the past 30 years in response to the threat posed by certain forms of crime such as drug trafficking, transnational crime and the financing of terrorism.This work ambitions to highlight the emergence of an inherent principle to the fight against criminal financial flows through the concept of international financial security, which appears as the main goal of the measures adopted in the context aforementioned.We illustrate this assumption with an analysis of the international crime policy, in other words all the processes through which the international community organizes responses to the phenomenon of financial crime. This analysis permits to behold the shape of what we call “financial security” and demonstrates that the answer of the international community tends inexorably to the establishment of a sort of “international financial security”.This financial security stands for an order.An order established in both international law and domestic law, an order that is characterized by what we call "droit à texture multiple avec primauté de la soft law".This order justifies and bases both preventive and repressive obligations, despite the restrictions it imposes on fundamental rights. This order contains a whole set of prescriptions whose aim to protect the international society from the factors of disorder such us illicit financial flows, organized crime and terrorism.Financial security is as much a goal to reach as a necessity.We consolidate this premise with an afterthought on the challenge of establishing financial security and the means that can be used to guarantee its effectiveness

Full textAbstract:
Background: There are personal factors and environmental factors playing impacts on the participation of children with developmental disabilities in China. Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the participation of children with developmental disabilities in outside home activities compared to typically developing children. Method: A quantitative cross-sectional method was used in this study. Participants were children with developmental disabilities (autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disabilities) and typically developing children between the age of 5 to 13. An instrument called ‘Picture My Participation’ (Simplified Chinese version) was used for data collection. Results: In general, typically developing children attended more frequently and felt more involved than children with developmental disabilities in outside home activities. There were many similarities in attendance between the two groups of children. They both attended more frequently in formal learning at school, shopping and playing with others, and less frequently in spiritual activities, social activities, and trips. Some differences were found in the activities with lower levels of involvement. Apart from the spiritual activity with the lowest mean score of involvement in both groups, typically developing children felt less involved in organized leisure and trips. However, children with developmental disabilities had lower levels of involvement in health center visits and social activities. There was no significant association between age, gender, place of residence, and participation in neither the attendance nor involvement aspect. Conclusion: Both intrinsic and extrinsic factors play essential parts in the participation of children with developmental disabilities. More support should be provided to children with DD.

British local government is placing a new emphasis on local action for the global environment. In the literature addressing these developments limited attention has been paid to the contested nature of sustainability, or to the local context in which initiatives arise. A cultural politics approach provides a means through which these shortcomings can be overcome (Hajer, 1996). Its discourse basis enables a local authority to be seen as a forum in which technocentric and ecocentric interpretations of sustainability compete with each other, as well as contesting established `non-sustainable¿ approaches. The Foucauldian view of power which underlies cultural politics requires that these contests are viewed in the context of an authority¿s history and traditions. As such, a cultural politics approach could form the basis of a new broader agenda for Local Agenda 21 research.

Seven factors are extracted from the 35 global logistics policy attributes based on a factor analysis. These seven factors were identified: construct the logistics information technology environment, logistics incentive policy, development and coordination of logistics associations, simplified customs procedures, attract foreign investment and help logistics firm toward globalization, enforcement of port operartions and review tax restriction and accountant regulations.
Furthermore, this study used the Ridit Analysis to compare the importance with the seven global logistics policy factors that extracted previously. Results indicated the most important dimention was simplified customs procedures, followed by attract foreign investment and help logistics firms toward globalization, logistics incentive policy, construct the logistics information technology environment, review tax restriction and accountant regulations, enforcement of port operartions and development and coordination of logistics associations. The theoretical and practical implications of the findings on global logistics policy for government are discussed.

Delpero, Jackie. "The Tide of History: Australian Native Title Discourse in Global Perspective." Thesis, 2003. https://vuir.vu.edu.au/18157/.
Full textAbstract:
Australian native-title law has many inconsistencies and contradictions. Emanating
from the Mabo decision is the central contradiction that the Crown's acquisition of
sovereignty in Australia was illegitimate but valid. This thesis attempts to identify the
underlying structures beneath this and other contradictions and inconsistencies by
tracing the features of a recent determination of a native title claim back through time.
In 1994, the Yorta Yorta people of south-east Australia made a claim under the Native
Title Act of 1993. The Court framed its determination of the claim within the
metaphor of the 'tide of history'. To make his decision, Justice Olney reconstructed
the Yorta Yorta people's ancestors as native inhabitants from within expansionist
ideology. Within that ideology, the term 'native inhabitant' is synonymous with
inferiority, incompetence and externality. This thesis argues that these representations
justified the processes of cultural modification. Modification is a feature of
colonisation that seeks to make natives resemble Europeans. This thesis argues that
these processes are linked to dispossession and are the essence of the 'tide of history'.
A feature of expansionist ideology is the sovereign imperative to maintain exclusive
power to make, enforce and suspend law. This thesis argues that the sovereign need
for exclusivity in Australia is central to the Native Title Act and the Yorta Yorta
decision. To trace the 'tide of history', this thesis begins with the early Roman
Church and follows its development as it pursued the Petrine mandate. It continues
into the secular era of discovery and considers how the 'tide of history' manifested in
North America and produced the Marshall judgements. It follows the 'tide of history'
into Australia from the Crown's claim to discovery and considers its role in the Mabo
decision and the Native Title Act. It analyses the Yorta Yorta people's claim for
native title through the logic that underpinned the majority judges' reasoning. This
thesis concludes that the 'tide of history' that washed away the Yorta Yorta people's
native title is a product of European expansionist ideology. From within that
ideology, the judiciary and the legislature imposed a two-way loss on the Yorta Yorta
people, which enhanced the Crown's exclusivity, rendering benign the conception of
the Crown's acquisition of sovereignty as illegitimate but valid.

碩士<br>國立政治大學<br>教育行政與政策研究所<br>104<br>The increasingly globalized world has promoted numorous discussions over global citizenship we need for the future among international organizations. This study anaylzes that a global citizen should consist of “learning of cognitive knowledge”, “well understanding and participanting in team work”, and “takeing necessary actions to practice”. In addition, while exploring international education, we found that international education is now bearing some resemblance to global education.International education must raise more awareness on global responsibility. Therefore, the global citizenship education could provide a new path for international education and enhance its implication.
Through in-depth interview, this study seeks to picture the conceptual clarity of global citizenship and how effectively implement it to internatioanal education. Also, the study tries to explore how Taiwan’s international education policy was applied to Taipei’s primary schools. To conclude the four finds are: (i)the concept of global citizenship of international organizations could correspond Taiwan’s international education policy; (ii)SIEP international policy could be used as guidelines for global citizenship education in Taiwan; (iii)developing the coherence value of international education policy is more important than designing complicated administrative system; (iv)global citizenship should be embeded in school vision to stimulate a whole-school planning of international educaiton.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>銘傳大學<br>國際事務研究所碩士班<br>95<br>The 21st century features a globalized, networked, knowledge-based and information-oriented new society. The revolution in new technology, communications and internet has not only formed a knowledge-based economy, new rules, and new market, but also led to the booming of new civil participation and global governance styles. Therefore, in 1999, the Human Development Report UNDP (United Nations Development Program) had claimed that “NGOs have been effectively advocated for human development, maintaining pressure on national governments, international agencies and corporations to live up commitments and to protect human rights and environmental standards.” Facing this trend, policy-makers should examine the roles of NGOs in the past and formulate new visions for the future while participating and sharing between the government and NGOs, the public and private sector, and organizations and civil society.
The main objective of this study is to comprehend the organizational development of NGOs in Taiwan based on the concept of global governance and organizational development/change. The research takes a qualitative approach, with the methodology based on literature reviews and in-depth interviews. The International Center for Land Policy Studies and Training (ICLPST) in Taoyuan has been taken as an example for the study of its background, history, current status, relevant rules and regulations, relationships with the government and civil society, and future development. Through different stages of organization change, ICLPST has been given a good opportunity for future development, while it has also experienced many problems and challenges, such as political implications, shortage of financial support and human resources, and insufficient legal establishments.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立交通大學<br>經營管理研究所<br>87<br>This thesis investigates the development of Taiwan''s mobile communication industry and how the goal of the ''National Telecommunication Program'' for its local mobile communication industryon succeed the booming of the information and semiconductor industries as the new star industry can be achieved. To reach this goal, Taiwan''s mobile communication service sector and manufacturing sector must develop simultaneously toward becoming a balanced and complete industrial system. For establishing a sound mobile communications industrial development, this thesis studies feasible formations of Taiwan''s mobile communication industrial development from the direction of its mobile communication spectrum planning and technical standards setting.
The methodology of this research first analyzes the development styles of advanced countries'' mobile communication industries while using them as the "ideal type" of industrial development. It comes out to four fundamental elements of analyzing mobile communication industries (spectrum planning, technical standards setting, manufacturing technology, and service offering). When using these four elements to compare the current development of Taiwan''s mobile communication industry with that of advanced countries, three problem gaps are discovered: Gap I - no conjunction between technical standards setting and manufacturing technology, Gap II - no conjunction between spectrum planning and manufacturing technology, and Gap III - no conjunction between service industry and manufacturing technology.
The main cause of fractured development of Taiwan''s mobile communication industry is due to the three gaps from insufficient conjunction between service offering and the other three elements. This research, according to the three problem gaps and combining this industry''s spectrum planning and standards setting, develops the short-term and long-term strategy to fill the gaps and promote the full development of Taiwan mobile communication industry.
