Street, David Michael. "The small business entrepreneur : a psychological profile." Thesis, Rhodes University, 1995. http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1002574.
Full textAbstract:
With the growing importance being placed on the small business environment as having a positive influence on economic growth and vitality (Erwee, 1987: Burns & Dewhurst, 1989), there has been a corresponding increase in attention being paid to entrepreneurship and the characteristics of the entrepreneur. This increased attention is due to the fact that entrepreneurs have long been linked to small business creation and recognised as an important factor in the small business development process (Boyd & Gumpert, 1983). Despite the quantity of research on entrepreneurship, there appears to be an ongoing controversy oyer what characterises an entrepreneurial business. and the specific characteristics of the small business entrepreneur. It has been argued that although there is an overlap between entrepreneurial and non-entrepreneurial businesses. they are in fact different entities (Carland, Hoy, Boulton & Carland, 1984: Drucker, 1985), and that not every individual who starts a business is an entrepreneur (Drucker. 1985). Small business entrepreneurship has been found to be specifically related to the psychological characteristics of the owner-manager who controls the business (Miller. 1983). The purpose of this research was to identify and describe psychological characteristics displayed by a group of South African small business entrepreneurs, thereby compiling a psychological profile of the small business entrepreneur. Given the nature of entrepreneurial activities and processes, Hofer and Bygrave (1992) recommend that accurate, precise qualitative data that is rich in its descriptive characterisation of the situation and the phenomenon involved be collected. As a result the researcher used qualitative rather than quantitative methods of investigation. Innovative behaviour has long been linked to entrepreneurship (Schumpeter. 1934) and entrepreneurial businesses were distinguished from other small businesses by their use of innovative strategic practices. Two sample groups consisting of entrepreneurial and non-entrepreneurial businesses, were created and the data collected were analysed independently. The results, based on personal interviews with 32 small business owner-managers and the administration and interpretation of tihe Structured Objective Rorschach Test (SORT), indicate that small business entrepreneurship should not be used as a term synonymous with small business ownership and/or management. Despite similarities between small business entrepreneurs and other small business owner-managers. the results suggest that a distinction between the two groups is necessary for accurate future research on entrepreneurs. The entrepreneurs differed from other small business owner-managers in terms of their psychological characteristics including their motives, their perception and attitude towards the external environment, and various sociological factors. The entrepreneurial businesses were also different in that they were more innovative and growth oriented than the non-entrepreneurial businesses. The research contributes towards a clarification of the concept of small business entrepreneurship and indicates a need for more precise sampling techniques to be used in entrepreneurial research.

El, Tarouty Safinaz. "Businessmen and authoritarianism in Egypt." Thesis, University of East Anglia, 2014. https://ueaeprints.uea.ac.uk/48815/.
Full textAbstract:
The main concern of this thesis is to examine how the Mubarak authoritarian regime survived for three decades, especially after the introduction of economic liberalization. I argue that the Mubarak regime created a new constituency of businessmen who benefited from economic reform and in return provided support to the regime. Based on interviews with Egyptian businessmen and political activists, this thesis examines the different institutional mechanisms used by the regime to co-opt businessmen and based on predation of public and private resources. Extending the literature on clientelism, I create a typology of regime-businessmen relations in terms of authoritarian clientelism, semi-clientelism, patron-broker client relationships, and mutual dependency. The thesis further examines how the regime dealt with an opposition that refused to enter into its clientelisitic chain. I demonstrate how the regime weakened this opposition by creating among them a divided political environment on different levels (i.e., among the legal and illegal opposition, inside the legal opposition, and among the illegal opposition). This thesis demonstrates that there are businessmen who are supportive of authoritarianism; however, they may also oppose authoritarian regimes, not for their own business interests but rather for their own political/ideological stance. This thesis concludes that the 25th of January Revolution showed the failure of Mubarak‘s political economy of authoritarianism based on predation and co-opting businessmen.

Full textAbstract:
Research provides a vast amount of information detailing the learning styles and preferences of learners and the influence of one's culture on that individual's perceptions of the world. Little of that research, however, has been applied to studying the effects of culture on the learner's perceptions of teacher and student roles, specifically in the area of second language learning. What is available often appears in the form of anecdotal descriptions of teaching and learning experiences abroad. A possible reason for the lack of investigation of student views in this area has been the absence of an adequate measuring device with which to gauge the responses of potential informants.

Full textAbstract:
The study is the result of a 'journey of discovery'. The fruits of an analytical and purposely open-minded
process, which sought neither to prove nor disprove some pre-existing theory, regarding
either the nature or influencing drivers of the entrepreneur and entrepreneurship; but rather progress
through a subjective review of past and current thinking on the topic. Only then, armed with that
insight, proceeded to both test and possibly re-discover the underlying evolutional and constituent
realities of this most elusive of subjects.
The desired resultant goal of this process is to help define a methodology by which to better identify
the principle traits that make up successful entrepreneurial companies and most importantly, the
individual entrepreneur(s) that lead them. Should such benchmarks show reliability of purpose, they
would certainly help provide both the Institutional and Venture Capital community with a better and
more insightfid understanding and evaluational mechanism of venture ready Entrepreneurs thereby
leading to a streamlining of their funding processes.
This process of discovery commenced by drawing on existing literature and defining what was to be
one of the principal subject matters for analysis - the nature of entrepreneurship itself and
specifically whether entrepreneurship was an 'art' or a 'science'? Was it learned or instinctive? And
whether its existence could actually be formulated, and thereby predicted.
The results of this initial process were revealingly rather ambiguous. For while alluding to the
existence of a workable methodology by which to deliver an insight into the potential success or
failure of an entrepreneurial venture, the contention that a commonality of entrepreneurial
characteristics and predispositions existed were almost entirely dismissed. As a result, the
subsequent research sought to test this perception and to identify the key constituent characteristics
and motivars of the successful entrepreneur.
To do so, a multi-dimensional entrepreneurial model was formulated and, in turn, tested through the
development of a three tiered qualitative analysis methodology. Firstly, one that encompassed a
relatively broad-based pool of approximately 45 entrepreneurs from pre-selected Small Medium
Enterprises. From this number 12 subjects were in turn further tested utilising pre-defined
methodologies; with four of them actually subjected to in-depth one on one interviews and
subsequent analysis.
Contrary to conventional thought, the evaluational amalgam of this qualitative process significantly
revealed a reliably high degree of commonality of specific traits among entrepreneurial subjects
reviewed. In addition, an exciting and valuable insight into the mind of the entrepreneur was
revealed; one that within the study is described as the 'third dimension' of entrepreneurial
motivation, and one that the author contends could unlock the door to an even deeper understanding
of this most elusive of subject matters and form a strong basis for further research.

A historiografia econômica brasileira, por muito tempo delegava aos senhores de terra e de escravos a posse de riqueza e aos portugueses o monopólio nas atividades comerciais. Esta pesquisa vem demonstrar que não apenas na agroexportação residia a riqueza, assim como não estava concentrada somente nas mãos de senhores de engenhos e negociantes estrangeiros, estando distribuída entre outras categorias sociais, como a dos negociantes residentes no Brasil e profissionais liberais. Ao estudarmos a vida material dos negociantes estabelecidos em Estância no período de 1820- 1888, percebemos o caráter mercantil e dinâmico desta cidade, evidenciado pela composição das fortunas, em maior parcela formada por dívidas ativas, contraídas pelo intercâmbio comercial, via abastecimento, empréstimos e pelas transações comerciais com negociantes de outras localidades sergipanas, bem como outras Províncias, a exemplo da Bahia. Ainda de acordo com a posse de bens, verificamos que alguns negociantes tinham uma extensa rede de crédito, originados pelas compras efetuadas a prazo em suas lojas ou por empréstimos concedidos. Ao considerarmos o ato de emprestar, mesmo que pequenas quantias, uma oportunidade de expandir sua influência, na medida em que para esta sociedade o capital usurário promovia prestígio e poder. Constatamos ainda, que um pequeno grupo que controlava alguns setores chaves da economia local, como o crédito e o abastecimento.

Abid, Sufyan. "Islamic reform, piety and charity among Muslim businessmen and entrepreneurs in Birmingham, UK." Thesis, University of Sussex, 2015. http://sro.sussex.ac.uk/id/eprint/54664/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the practices of Muslim businessmen and entrepreneurs in Birmingham in relation to their beliefs in a variety of Islamic reformisms, ideals of piety and responses towards charity and philanthropy. The thesis problematizes various streams of Islamic reformisms among different groups of reformist Muslims and elaborates how these groups engage with Muslim businessmen and entrepreneurs in order to establish and assert their identity as ‘authentic and good Muslims' in public spheres. The thesis discusses how reformist Muslim businessmen and entrepreneurs give public performances of their pious lives and how their ideals of piety and living a moral life are reshaped and negotiated among Birmingham Muslims while they search for role models in social and economic spheres of life. Finally, this thesis explores and establishes the links between charity and donation related practices of Birmingham Muslims with their beliefs in any particular reformist interpretation of practicing Islam in everyday life; and how doing charity and philanthropy becomes a site for the public performance of piety. This thesis further explores charity practices of Birmingham Muslims in order to understand the context, motivations and background of Muslim charitable organisations and Muslim philanthropists. One year ethnographic fieldwork was conducted in predominantly Muslim neighbourhoods of Birmingham, UK as part of this anthropological research. This thesis claims its originality by filling the gap of lack of anthropological research on Birmingham Muslims in the context of ongoing anthropological debate on Islamic reformism, piety and charity that has emerged as a result of anthropological researches conducted in other Muslim societies. My argument, in this thesis is that there is an element of Islamic reforms in all forms of different Islamic streams or sects of Muslims. The charity practices of Muslim businessmen and entrepreneurs are highly influenced by their adherence to any interpretation of reformist Islam that too, is greatly influenced by local realities and global trends.

Full textAbstract:
There is a debate on the exact relationship between capitalist development and democracy. Some maintain that there is a theoretical and empirical affinity between the two, while others have demonstrated that authoritarian regimes have been as able to accommodate capitalist development. A major part of this debate revolves around the economic elite's political preferences, which in some cases is perceived as championing democracy while in others, especially in cases of late-development, as supporting the rise of authoritarianism or, in the least, benefiting from the deficiencies of limited democracy. The shifting position of this elite therefore begs the following question: Is there an instance under capitalist development that makes democracy more appealing to the business classes?To study this question, I have focused on the case of TUSIAD (Turkish Industrialists' and Businessmen's Association), a voluntary association made up of several hundred members and founded by the owners of the largest Turkish corporations, that has in 1997 published a report on democratization in Turkey which promoted major changes to the Turkish state and its institutions. The topic is of relevance to the above debate by presenting a case where individuals that were previously perceived as benefiting from the deficiencies of Turkish democracy and/or were too shy politically were promoting major changes to political life.
In order to understand the process behind this break and the shifting political attitude of the association's members, I have conducted several expert interviews with key actors from TUSIAD and the business community. I have also included a comparison between the case of TUSIAD and the demands of associations in the similar cases of Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico in order to further test the generalizability of my case study.
My research and the dissertation suggest that changes in the activities of Turkish industry, characterized by economic development and a greater international integration achieved primarily through the European Union, present a new structure of opportunities and constraints for TUSIAD members. The factors that entrepreneurs perceive as being necessary for staying competitive and manage growingly complex enterprises not only make increased democracy more appealing but also create a tension between a segment of business, which is becoming increasingly formal, and a state that has traditionally depended on its informal ties with societies to strengthen its control.
However, my research reveals that these economic changes are not sufficient to constitute a radical break from the state. To understand the case of TUSIAD it should be taken into account that this has been possible because of the economic elite's increasing autonomy (due partly on endogenous changes and the opportunities that internationalization offers) and relationship to the state. Turkish political tradition has enabled the state and governments to isolate themselves from business more than in other cases studied. In fact, states in my comparative cases have tended to grant greater access to business, except for various periods, and as such affected its propensity to mobilize politically. It is therefore the apparent indifference of the Turkish state towards the needs and power of industry that has affected the attitude and ideology of businesspeople, thus leading to a greater break than what the current literature would predict. In outlining this process, the current dissertation therefore contributes to academic debate by outlining the manner in which a positive relationship between the needs of business classes and democracy develops, while maintaining that whether this will lead to a radical break is determined by state tradition.

Full textAbstract:
Se heurtant à divers problèmes de sécurité, les entrepreneurs mexicains ont développé des comportements routiniers ou stratégiques dans la recherche d’une protection. Cette thèse a pour objectif de comprendre les mécanismes de protection mis en place par cette élite économique. En se basant sur des données qualitatives collectées à Guadalajara, je montre comment cette élite exige et co-produise de la protection, et comment à travers cela, ils contribuent à façonner les structures de maintien de l’ordre et de l’ordre social de Jalisco. Je commence par examiner les menaces qui pèsent sur les propriétaires urbains et comment cette perception conduit à la formulation du problème, considéré par cette élite comme leur problème. J’analyse ensuite l’enchevêtrement des fournisseurs de la protection, soit gouvernementaux et non-gouvernementaux, tout en illustrant leurs dynamiques de coalition, de collusion et de collision. J’affirme que les hommes d’affaires sont protégés grâce à un accès sélectif et personnalisé aux forces de l’ordre, achetant même une protection, de gré ou de force, à des acteurs situés dans les zones grises. Enfin, la recherche clarifie le cas des hommes d’affaires qui participent à produire de l’auto-protection en employant leur ample répertoire d’initiatives collectives afin d’interagir avec les agences de l’État et d’autres sources de protectionStruggling with a variety of security challenges, business owners and economic elite have developed strategic behaviors for protections. This dissertation aims to understand the latter’s mechanisms once implemented by the economic elite. Based on qualitative data collected in Guadalajara, I demonstrate how this elite demand and co-produce protection, and how by doing so, they are shaping Jalisco’s policing patterns and social order. As start, I discuss the threats facing the urban proprietors and consequently how their perception of the problem leads to the formulation of the problem, their problem. Then I analyse their protection suppliers whether governmental or non-governmental, illustrating these latter coalition, collusion and collision dynamics. I state that businessmen are protected by selective and personalized access to law enforces while explaining how they purchase protection from actors in the gray zones laying between public-private, formal-informal and legal-illegal realms

Full textAbstract:
This study analyzes the entrepreneurial estate-building activities of three generations of the Tayloe family of Virginia from the 1710s to the 1820s. The three John Tayloes were model planter-businessmen---that is, they combined mixed commercial agriculture with a variety of business enterprises in an effort to secure long-term financial security and social status for themselves and their heirs. This diversified approach to plantation management characterized early Virginia's "culture of progress"---an early American business culture interpreted in many different ways throughout the colonies (and later the states) that had the pursuit of a better life as its organizing premise.;The Tayloes were not alone in their ironmaking, shipbuilding, land speculation, investing, and craft-service activities. Instead, the three generations of Tayloe planter-businessmen represent the activities, approaches, and values of the elite planter class of early Virginia.;For each of the Tayloes, slave labor served as the fundamental resource for successful enterprise. The presence of large populations of enslaved African Americans enabled the Tayloes and other planters to branch out from staple agriculture and ultimately necessitated that they continue to do so. Slaves demonstrated their abilities, became central to the daily operations of the South's business culture, and made the enterprises planters founded profitable.;Planter-businessmen as individuals founded businesses that were usually complementary in some way to their holdings in land and slaves. Recognizing the potentially dangerous fluctuations of the tobacco market, planters were apt to attempt new endeavors in good times and bad and rarely abandoned new businesses simply because the tobacco market rebounded. They kept their finger on the pulse of the market, braved risk, and attempted to keep up with the latest technology. Planters' non-tobacco activities provided an important buffer between the uncontrollable weather, shipping, and prices associated with tobacco agriculture and their family's future security. The institution of slavery certainly placed some structural limits on planters' entrepreneurial imaginations. However, whether compared against northern farmer-businessmen prior to the antebellum period or set against the definitions of Virginia's own slave society, early southern planter-businessmen exhibited rational and progressive economic behavior.

Full textAbstract:
yesThe Afghan conflict changed significantly after the Soviet withdrawal and especially after the collapse of the communist regime in April 1992. External support, which at some point had been running to the tune of $3 billion a year to all sides, rapidly faded and the military commanders increasingly faced the problem of how to fund their armies in the face of a declining propensity of the civilian population to contribute to the war effort. The hold of the parties based in Pakistan and Iran over the field commanders rapidly weakened, even if some of the political leaders had been forward looking enough to accumulate financial resources through the hoarding of military supplies, which were then sold on the black market. The partial financial autonomy of some political leaders of the jihadi movement was not enough to stem the tide towards weaker and weaker links between parties and commanders, not least because the parties were reluctant to spend whatever resources they had accumulated, lest they lose their leverage in the future.

Saeeh, Atef Ahmed. "Exploring the economic and commercial relations between Libya and the EU : a perception analysis of Libyan businessmen." Thesis, Durham University, 2010. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/490/.
Full textAbstract:
The Libyan economy is highly dependent on oil export revenues, which allied to a small population, makes Libya one of the richest countries in Africa. In order to diversify its sources of income, the government undertook measures to liberalise its economy and foreign trade. The central strategy of enhancing trade and developing the Libyan economy is to integrate with the EU by taking a pro-active part in EU-initiated economic cooperation and integration programmes and treaties, such as the Barcelona Process. This process constitutes an important step towards enhancing the openness of Libya’s economy and creating convergence towards EU economies. The research explores the perceptions of Libyan businessmen on the economic and trade relationship between Libya and the EU by focusing directly on trends, developments, problems and prospects. The research also aims to explore problems encountered between Libya and the EU with the objective of establishing ways in which to lessen the adverse effects. It suggests policy measures to be adopted to improve Libya’s trade and economic relations with the EU. To fulfil its aims and objectives, this study utilised both primary and secondary data. The primary data were collected through a survey questionnaire conducted in Libya, which explored the opinions, perceptions and attitudes of Libyan businessmen towards trade-related issues with the EU. In addition, the secondary data were in the form of published statistical data relating to trade between Libya and the EU. The findings of this study demonstrated that the majority of Libyan businessmen have positive attitude towards economic cooperation and the integration process between Libya and the EU within the EU-Mediterranean Partnership (Barcelona Process) in general, and towards the establishment of FTA in particular. In addition, the majority of Libyan businessmen think that achievements in the economic field were the most successful policy aims within the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership, while perceiving the political and military and security fields to be of a minor role. However, the majority consider that trade between Libya and EU still faces a number of obstacles, despite Libya joining the Barcelona Process. These include the high price of EU products, the difference in terms of quality, and the adoption of high customs duties on EU products by the Libyan authorities and the lack of information about the opportunities available in EU markets. The study, also, finds that the majority of Libyan businessmen see the future of Libyan economy tied closely to the EU, rather than in an African, Arab or Islamic Union, in which they show little interest.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis provides a theoretical foundation explaining the long-standing paradox of Chinese-Indonesian entrepreneurs' highly successful economic behaviour. Combining Western and Eastern philosophies, this study examines the role of culture in prescribing beliefs and practices that affect human efforts to self-actualise, notably the motivations underlying these entrepreneurs' business practices. It applies Aristotle's notion of phronesis (practical knowledge or wisdom) to organisation studies (as suggested by Tsoukas and Cummings, 1997, and Flyvbjerg, 2006). The enquiry employs the concept of self-organising systems (drawn from complexity theory) to ground the Confucian organismic conception of the cosmos (Needham 1956).
The underlying empirical study investigated Chinese entrepreneurs' strategic actions in a particular field (Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia), an environment characterised by complexity, uncertainty and social instability. Primary data was collected through extensive field interviews, developed into narrative case studies and analysed using the explanation building technique (Yin 2003) based on Confucian modelling of social interactions to explain informants' trajectories in their life course.
The findings support the Confucian organismic conception of the cosmos, which emphasises the notions of complexity, continuity, irreversibility and unpredictability. When the future is highly unpredictable, people learn and progress by recourse to learned strategies that were effective in their own adaptive success in the past. Especially when facing tension or instability, the studied entrepreneurs' decision making and strategic actions were spontaneous, without explicit predetermined goals, but based on their pragmatic value judgment, phronesis (practical knowledge) of a situation and the capability of the individual actors within their social networks to control it. When faced with a higher level of instability (especially under extreme constraints), their actions were instinctively revolutionary, often requiring a jump to a new level of network with higher complexity (Holland 1998), returning them to a normal condition. The entrepreneurs' wulun-based social roles and guanxi-based social institutions legitimised all such decisions. Their strategies were therefore contextual and pragmatic, driven by the actors' instinct to enhance the survivability of the individual, family and society.
Chinese culture embraced the natural state of complexity, dynamism and unpredictability of the cosmos by establishing Confucian social institutions, specifically wulun and guanxi, that are learned and practiced from an early age and subsequently internalised as habitual and dispositional practices, including in business. Wulun functions as a social control mechanism for constraining people's behaviour and at the same time allowing people to increase their ability to adapt in order to self-organise in different contexts, whereas guanxi is practiced as a strategy to create a pool of interlocking resources that provides a feedback loop promoting continuous self-actualisation and self-transformation. Identity is associated with progression and transformation; when the self is developed, the family and the larger society are also transformed.
The contribution of this thesis is its integration of Western and Eastern, natural and social, complexity theory and organisation studies concepts to illuminate the relationship between the self-actualising behaviour of entrepreneurs and the cultural context within which they operate.
Keywords: phronesis, complexity, Confucianism, self-organisation, self-actualisation, wulun, guanxi, pragmatism

D. Cur.( Psychiatric Nursing Science)Research has shown that white South African males between the ages of thirty and forty-five are a vulnerable target group for experiencing stress. Businessmen, particularly those involved in managing their business independently, comprise a section of this category and experience unique stressors which differ from those of other individuals. It is of importance to take cognisance of the fact that in spite of the stress factors which negatively influence the businessman's home and work life, there are yet businessmen who cope with such stress effectively and lead a meaningful and productive life, whilst others are unable to cope with the negative stress factors. In the presentation of various courses aimed at promoting mental health, the researcher found that independent businessmen identified the need for continued, adequate support and a meaningful and balanced life. These businessmen wish to formulate priorities effectively, make choices and mobilize resources in their quest for wholeness. The question which arose for the researcher may be stated as follows: To what extent would the exploration and description of the experiential world of the businessman serve as a basis for the generation of a model for the promotion of the mental health of independent businessmen? This model will include guidelines for the application of a comprehensive enrichment programme which will facilitate the businessman's quest for wholeness...

In view of increasing labor costs and emerging environmental concerns, Taiwanese businessmen in labor intensive indusrties had to look to neightboring countries, triggered by the 1987 strong appreciation of Taiwan dollars, for cheaper solution to survive in 1990. China became the most popular destination, attracting most of the investment capitals from Taiwan in nearly two decades. But a growing number of Taiwanese corporations are pursuing a strategy to establish or expand their bases outside China, particularly in Vietnam to mitigate the risks of overdependence on factories in one country, let alone the promulgation of China’s New Labor Law in January 2008 that indicates doing business in China is likely to get much more expensive in the coming years. In order to emulate China’s success on the economic reform and achievement, Vietnam has opened up its door to foreign investment since 1988 attracting tens of billions of US dollars cash inflow. The country has been shifting toward a more market-oriented economy which continues to expand at an annual rate in excess of 7 percent in the past 10 years. In the wake of rapid economy growth, fueled by the enormous inflow of foreign investment combined with relatively free local money supply, led to an overheating of the economy and the government was too slow to respond in late 2007. Government policy is moving to curb inflation from loose monetary policy by applying a series of measures including public spending cuts, price controls, interest rate increases and credit control. The banking system ran into difficulty in terms of liquidity. Enterprises, individuals and households were in desperate need for capital but banks were very restrictive to grant loans. In the face of Vietnam’s tightening monetary policy, what obstacles have Taiwanese businessmen faced to access to bank loans at the soaring interest rate? What assistance they need to get over the financial turmoil? This study is tried to figure out financial market status quo for the Taiwanese businessmen in Vietnam, and hopes to indicate possible roadmap for newcomers and even the Taiwanese Financial Institutes（FI）. In accordance with the purpose of this study, an intensive survey with more than 50 questions was conducted to the members of『Taiwan Businessman Association in Vietnam』covering reasons to select local FIs, difficulties when dealing with local FIs, formation of chartered capitals, obstacles to obtain bank loans, anticipation on services from local FIs , impacts from tightened monetary policy etc. In addition, this study hopes to learn the prioritized importance of different types of loan, and anticipated items to be freed by Vietnam government. This study proposes possible measures by the Taiwanese businessmen encountering volatile market situations, business wise and finance wise. Meanwhile, possible business opportunites and feasible future focus for the Taiwan FIs are advised as well.

This current study aims at exploring Taiwanese businessmen’s demands, approaches, channels and strategies on financing in Mainland China, and further provides them with deeper understanding on financing business so as to help them solve the financing problems. It is expected for them to stand firmly in business in Mainland China and expand their operation scale. It has been 25 years since Taiwanese businessmen’s investment in Mainland China in 1989. As their initial prospect of stretching from dots, lines to surfaces, they developed from the coast towards the inland, and their operating pattern has turned from export-oriented to striving for domestic market. The former quantified businesses are now gradually qualified. Every stage of business establishment, survival and development sticks to capital, so financing has become the top priority for business development. Business financing is a worldwide issue, and this poses greater predicament to the Taiwanese businessmen working in Mainland China. They cannot receive the supports from Chinese-funded banks while the Taiwanese-funded banks in Mainland China face various business restrictions, making them unable to fully support Taiwanese businessmen. This study interviewed five chiefs from Chinese and foreign banks and three Taiwanese businessmen in China so as to understand the financing condition in Jiangsu province, China. This also makes Taiwanese businessmen understand the existing financing procedures, categories, items, scales and channels in Mainland China as well as the new financing models opened after the signing of ECFA so as to propose the most suitable financing strategy for Taiwanese businesses’ development in China.

ABSTRACT Nowadays, with the development of science and technology, the media software used by Taiwanese people in China is not the same as the software they use in Taiwan. Taiwanese love to use LINE. China can only use We Chat. Today, LINE and We Chat are two giants in the Asian market. This study is based on the cross-strait experience of its own; it’s based on the theory of uses and gratification. In the trend of continuous increase in the number of cross-strait exchanges, the application of media across the Taiwan Strait will certainly have a considerable impact. Furthermore, the number of cross-strait commuters will frequently use LINE and We Chat as a tool for contact. Therefore, this study uses children of Taiwanese businessmen as research objects. The purpose is to understand the use of social media across the Taiwan Strait, the motivation for using it, and the continuance intention after using We Chat. Now that China has created its own Internet platform under the blockade of the Internet, looking back at Taiwan, the land is small but development. But the development has stagnated and there are no platforms that belong to its own major Internet and social media software. Many companies need to pay advertising expenses for foreign businessmen when they need advertising. However, the problems and opinions encountered by cross-border migrants using LINE and WeChat on both sides may be the basis for the future development of the media industry. It’s also the motivation of this study. This study is a quantitative study. A questionnaire was designed according to the research structure and research purpose. Then, the quantitative data analysis was hoped to describe the use of social media of motivation, user behavior, use satisfaction, and whether it affects Taiwanese across the Taiwan Strait. The continued use of the service and the provision of social media industry as a reference for companies that are improving the social media software in Taiwan. Keywords: Social media, Uses and gratification theory, cross-border flows, continuance intention, user behavior, children of Taiwanese businessmen

The present study aims to analyze the current situation and process of blackmail, corruption and bribery for Taiwanese businessmen in Mainland China. By using in-depth interview, the study has collected valuable information of 10 Taiwanese businessmen who has been working at least two years in China. Most of interviewees held important positions in their companies such as CEO, supervisor, board member as well as the director of Taiwanese businessman enterprise association. The results revealed that Taiwanese businessmen were less blackmailed by Chinese officials at the beginning when they were establishing and registering the company. However, when businessmen started to invest or make profits, government official then asked for illegitimate money by threatening to postpone the application or to complicate the order permission. This can be attributed by defective regulatory system. Moreover, to procure more business and prevent obstacles from government official, some Taiwanese businessmen were willing to give the bribery. This indeed has become the “unspoken rule” between Taiwanese businessman and Chinese government official. The research suggested that Taiwanese businessman should seek for due process and take appropriate measures when facing commercial problems or disputes.

However, now part explored is requested relevant units to deal with cases, as unreported, the case did not request the assistance of the relevant units in fact the majority of the most occupied. In this study, five Taiwanese businessman case narrative experience to be explored. Tell their own to China in the course of doing business, and subjected to the evolution of personal safety hazards why, supplemented by interviews outline to qualitative research methods summed up the experience of the five respondents, plus interviews with experts and scholars, backed up by relevant Wen offered to evidence phase. The study found that cause harm to the safety of Taiwanese businessmen facing the biggest reason is that Taiwan businessmen themselves, many Taiwanese businessmen in the relevant laws and regulations and information mainland do not understand the rush to pursue business opportunities to go into business and work in different places, do not understand the local folk customs situation, could easily become the object of people who are interested to start, after suffering personal safety hazards assert their rights do not understand the way the pipeline, but chose a passive manner, into a series of vicious circle. Therefore, physical security requirements and create a safe investment environment for Taiwanese businessmen in China is a major issue between the two sides, but also Taiwan should pay attention to and understand their own interests and circumstances, to avoid a repeat of the tragedy again.

With China''s booming domestic market, many manufacturers are coveted by huge domestic opportunities. In March 2011, the Chinese government released the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" (2011-2015), referred to the contents of expanding domestic demand again, domestic market outlook remains positive. However, operating business in China domestic market is not easy, foreign-capital enterprises encounter difficulties, mostly because they do not understand China’s special cultural system. There are many management issues about Chinese domestic market, particularly accounts receivable collection issue is a tricky problem, but literature lack systematic research and perspective from firm. To provide better understanding of the problem, this study interviewed six Taiwanese businessmen regarding the case of accounts receivable by cause, effect and solution. The results show why accounts receivable collection so difficult for the following reasons: slowdown in macro-economic environment lead to cash flow impact; enterprises and products are uncompetitive or blind production; the lack of awareness of risk prevention; lack of business integrity in China; business system is immature in China; Chinese high lending rates, speculation is rampant; China is a vast country and personnel collection result in high cost. The ways of solving accounts collection issue include: pay attention to customer credit check and due diligence; use progress payment to lower the impact of bad debt; use tight and flexible collection skills. In addition, it’s difficult for foreign-capital enterprises to file a lawsuit, which is usually a last resort. Finally, if the customer carry on proper business, or customer are government units with no doubt to dead loan, then maintain the supply relation to earn back the money is a not easy but the highest return way to deal with accounts collection solving.

The article mainly discusses host countries’ location factors that influence Korean businessmen’s foreign direct investment in Mainland China by using statistic data. The article has three major purposes. The first purpose is to make an analysis of the investment environment in China. The second purpose is also to analyze the trait and trend of Korean businessmen’s direct investment in China. At last, the third purpose is to delve into the Location factors that influence Korean businessmen’s investment in China. We set the Korean businessmen’s FDI in China to be the dependent variable and the location factors from many aspects of host countries to be the independent variables of the model’s setting. The research period is divided into two parts. The first part is from 1993 to 1996, and the other is from 2001 to 2004. We use a cross section and time series data technique to analyze the model. Besides, we use multiple regression analysis to examine the relationship between independent and dependent variable. Based on the consequence run by regressing model, we find that a positive coefficient Market Size, Developing Area, Infrastructure, High Quality Manpower variables are the same as our prediction. Wage variablehas a negative sign that is the same as our prediction. But, Wage, Developing Area, Infrastructure variables are significant from 1993 to 1996.However, they are insignificant from 2001 to 2004. Market Size variable is insignificant from 1993 to 1996, but insignificant from 2001 to 2004. That is to say, after 2000, Korean businessmen’s location factors of direct investment in China start to emphasize local Market Size. However, Wage, Developing Area, and Infrastructure variables which have been emphasized by Korean businessmen’s investment from 1993 to 1996 less influence their location factors after 2000.

Mainland China is not only the most populated country in the world, but also the country with the most internet users. As the number of internet users grows, Taiwanese Businessmen in Mainland China began to notice the internet as the new advertising medium. From the increase in internet advertising budget in the past few years, the importance of such advertising medium is obvious. Corporations mainly utilize internet advertising as means to communicate corporate image, provide product information, and promote event campaigns; thus, internet advertising has become the new choice of medium for Taiwanese Businessmen in Mainland China. This research attempts to understand, through the perspective of Taiwanese corporations, the reasons and strategies behind Taiwanese businessmen utilizing internet advertising in the past; hence, predict future development of internet advertising. Researcher references the concepts from Rogers’ diffusion of innovation theory, and Davis et al.’s Technology Acceptance Model theory and Computer-mediated Communication. The research result hopefully will provide a comprehensive analysis to explain Taiwanese businessmen’s decisions in choosing internet advertising. The methodology used for this research is a combination of qualitative and quantitative. First, through a questionnaire researcher collected survey data on advertising agencies’ perspective regarding internet advertising; this will in term bring into focus the research question.

Since Mainland China advocated economic reform in 1978, the government appealed to many Taiwanese firms invested with a purpose of boosting trade and investing in this fast growing market. Some of the Taiwanese firms took this opportunity to expand and attain more profit and gradually developed into partners with major international enterprises in the supply chains. In order to increase the visibility in the world and increase the fundraising scale, numerous overseas Taiwanese firms chose to be listed in capital markets. A drastic change in government policy was seen in Taiwan since 2008.

The investing condition for Eastern part of China has tended to saturation, while the western development policy has been developing. Taiwan businessmen consider tending to run business in western area. Yunnan Province is situated in south western part of China which links with east southern Asia and has abundant natural resources. Through the interviews we know the motivation for Taiwan businessmen going to Yunnan that is to get the resources. They may be introduced through friends or have already invested for a long time and plan to have permanent residence. Therefore, Taiwan Businessmen Association (TBA) plays a role for mutual help and future prospect planning. Interaction research between TBA and local government shows that Taiwan businessmen follow eastern area experience which local government dominates business and Taiwan businessmen rely on connection negotiation. Taiwan businessmen also want to improve mutual interaction by upgrading industrial technology, participating in governmental organization and establishing “Taiwan Brand.” In addition, I focus on the interaction between enterprises and local government, choosing 3 famous managerial models—Su Nan model, Wen Zhou model and Pearl River model to compare with. Therefore, I evaluate the possibility for Taiwan businessmen to run business in Yunnan Province, considering market potential that CAFTA brings about and the agricultural business park in Stone Forest and I realize the investing condition is promising for some Taiwan businessmen in some related industries.
