Abstract
This paper explains Japanese human resource management in China and looks at several hypotheses as to why the Japanese have been unsuccessful in adapting their own style of management to the Chinese culture and society. The paper then looks at possible solutions to the dilemma based upon lessons learned from the cultural/business guru, Geert Hofstede, and North American and European entrants into the Chinese marketplace.

From the Paper
"Any attempt to quantify, or even qualify, the activities of Japanese human resources managers in the People's Republic of China-especially in contrast to the way Japanese human resources managers behave at home-offers abundant pitfalls. While an extensive survey might possibly shed some light on the differences, if any, it would also point out the first of many problems in attempting to gather that sort of information: Chinese managers (not to mention the rank and file) are generally reluctant to fill out forms, a leftover from a time when it was simply safer to know nothing, say nothing and do nothing (Bruton & Chan 2000, p. 4). Therefore, the Chinese side of the story would necessarily be skewed. As for the Japanese side, it is unlikely, with the powerful Japanese emphasis on loyalty to the company (not to mention the fact of working for one company virtually for life), it unlikely that any responses from that population group would be devoid of inconsistencies. In short, with the complex societal expectations in both of those cultures, and the fact that change in the People's Republic of China is exceedingly rapid at the moment, a survey seems like an unreliable way to shed light on the differences between Japanese management at home, and Japanese management in the People's Republic of China. Far more accessible are the numerous studies of Japanese management in Japan and in other, more easily investigated nations: the U.S., Canada, and even other Asian nations that have been open to western commerce for much longer, and that have not had an almost complete lack of independent enterprise for the better part of a century."

Abstract
This essay looks at one of the more urgent problems in China - that of falling groundwater and scarce freshwater resources. It considers not only issues around agriculture, environmental degradation and forced relocation, but also the different effects that large-scale social policies have on men and women alike.
From the Paper
"In recent years, surface water supplies for agriculture have been taken away from food production and given over to the manufacturing industry instead. This is in keeping with the government's push for heavy industrialization and economic growth. Unfortunately this decision has pushed farmers into an even more desperate position, leaving them with a still greater reliance upon groundwater for crop irrigation. By the end of 1997 North China had 2.6 million wells, and another 221,900 were drilled that very same year (Brown 2000). As a direct result of this excessive drilling, the water table has fallen 42 meters in the past three decades. What little water that does remain is under double assault: as farmers suck dry the lower aquifer, the upper limits are polluted by industrial waste. The situation is now critical in Beijing, where new wells must reach a depth of 1,000 metres to access fresh water (Brown 2000). "

China, Japan and Korea, 2006.
A review of the world's perception of China, Japan and Korea.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the perceptions of modern day China, Japan and Korea. The paper essentially argues that the misconceived notions that China, Japan and Korea are not modern countries is related to the fact that they were isolationist towards the west and because they did not follow the European modernization concept.
From the Paper
"The relationship between China, Korea and Japan with the West is both complicated and filled with misconceptions. The largest misconception about China, Korea and Japan in the West is that these countries have followed isolationist foreign policies. For example, in "China Attempts to Soften Its One-Child Policy" Jessica Bernman suggests that China had isolated itself from the rest of the world and is just now beginning to open its borders (Bernman 567). Japan has also been thought of as a country that had isolated itself from the world for centuries (Toby 6)."

Fashion in China and Japan, 2005.
This paper discusses fashion as a construct of national identity and culture in China and Japan.

Abstract
This paper explains that the evolvement of fashion trends throughout history have come to mean more than merely a choice of dress and style for its own sake. Rather, they reflect the evolution of culture and national identification. The impetus of fashion is an integral part of cultural studies, semiotics, sociology and history. The author points out that, in contrast to the fashion uniformity prevalent during the Cultural Revolution as a mandatory symbol of national identity and cultural commonality, more modern styles were introduced to represent a new found freedom in social and political life. The paper relates that the ideals of citizenship and expected cultural and national standards is reflected in Japan in the uniforms that children wear to school.

From the Paper
"Possibly one of the most obvious examples of the connection of fashion and the cultural construction of reality is the fashion or dress code that was dominant during the Chinese Maoist Cultural Revolution. Studies and reports of China during the late years of Maoist influence between 1949 and 1976 remark on the congruity between the style and fashion in clothing of the time and the communist doctrine of equality for all. The impression of China in those years was that it was a poor, fairly undeveloped country despite its glorious past."

The 'Success' of China, Japan and South Korea, 2006.
A discussion regarding China, Japan and Korea as leaders of world economy.

»

Abstract
This paper reviews how China, Japan and Korea are often referred to as 'leaders' in the world economy. The paper discusses how each country reflects a different kind of modernization and, mainly in the post-World War II period, an accelerated development success story, just as each country indicates its own kind of economic and political achievement. This paper argues that this view of the three powers in question is most problematic, especially in view of their respective defects.

Abstract
The writer discusses the policy of direct investment and various forms of incentive governments utilize to encourage foreign investment. The paper shows how countries can protect and nurture their growth toward mutual benefit of the investing organization and the country receiving the investment. The paper follows the plan China has used to its benefit and also cites the less positive results in Japan.
From the Paper
"During the 1980?s China recognized a need for significant foreign investment, particularly in those infrastructure and productive areas in which a complete modernization and/or overhaul was needed. Foreign investment encouragement in the form of tax reductions and exemptions was implemented, especially in the coastal ?Special Economic Zones?; this has expanded into the interior. (Braham and Ran, p.9)."

Abstract
This paper reviews and analyzes Barrington Moore's book about Japanese political leaders and why they were able to launch a successful modernization effort nearly a century earlier than political leaders in China. The paper explains that Moore does this by comparing and contrasting the ideological, social and political histories of the two countries and then, in greater detail, discusses those comparisons.
From the Paper
"In China, an upper class consisting of scholar-officials and landlords wielded considerable influence. The system of examinations by which individuals acquired imperial posts produced an elite group of classically educated men who used their government positions to increase their families' wealth and land holdings. The means of wealth acquisition were less than legal in most cases, but graft was socially acceptable though illicit. Chinese motivation for development of personal wealth reflected in large part the patrilineal lineage mechanism in place. For the benefit of his family, then, the Chinese scholar used his power to accumulate wealth for his descendants. The avenues leading to the examinations were not equally accessible to all, however, so the peasants were essentially excluded from imperial posts. The significant characteristics of the relationship between the gentry and the peasantry will be described shortly."

Real Estate Market in China and Japan, 2005.
A review of the Chinese and Japanese real estate markets, taking into account the cultural, political and sociological aspects of each country.
3,375 words (approx. 13.5 pages), 10 sources, $ 133.95
»

Abstract
This paper discusses the real estate markets of both China and Japan with a view to first examining each country's individual, cultural, political, or sociological characteristics. In regards to Japan, the cultural and social dimension is given precedence over the political and the governmental while in regards to China the governmental and the political is given precedence over the cultural and the social.
From the Paper
"Researchers for years have argued the nature and character of Asian culture in general and Chinese and Japanese culture specifically; though for various reasons. In examining these two dynamic countries within the rapidly evolving Asia-Pacific Rim in terms of their respective real estate markets, it is important to understand these two countries, and their respective cultures, independently. Though both countries are part of the collective Asian culture and all that that categorization implies: collectivist, homogeneous, Confucian and industrious, they are also polarized differently from each other. In this respect, it is paramount to examine each market differently, or rather, from a different perspective. For Japan, it is perhaps best to examine from a socio-cultural point of view."

Abstract
"The three largest economies in Asia had very different experiences in the world economy from 1850 to 1945. India, an imperial subject of Britain throughout this period, was forced to abandon the production of textiles and most other goods when Britain elected to manufacture these goods and export them instead to its continent-sized colony.
From the Paper
"The three largest economies in Asia had very different experiences in the world economy from 1850 to 1945. India, an imperial subject of Britain throughout this period, was forced to abandon the production of textiles and most other goods when Britain elected to manufacture these goods and export them instead to its continent-sized colony. As a result, India became primarily an exporter of primary products and made only minimal progress toward industrialization. China, though it was no one's colony, was beset by weak governments and periods of extreme political instability. But China suffered a much worse fate than India's because it was subject to the demands of powerful, competing industrialized nations seeking raw materials and markets for their manufactured goods. Japan, however, became one of the industrialized nations and, in addition to exerting ..."

" Society and Religion in Non-Western Societies
Reconciling the societal differences between the Western world and Asia--particularly with respect to China, Korea, and Japan--may never be a possibility. The divide is not so simple as the distinctions between mere Christianity, Confucianism, or communism, nor is it reducible to simple philosophical terms such as capitalism, liberalism, or Marxism. Indeed, the inherent dissimilarities between Eastern and Western cultures are as likely the result of the forced separation due to geography and the consequence of limited contact over the millennia.
As Rozman insists, the failure of social science to investigate national heritage as the fulcrum of societal.."
