Abstract
This research sets forth the context in which HRM has emerged as a critical component of effective management theory and practice. Within a framework suited to culture-specific comparative analysis of the relevance of HRM to operations and behavior in the regional and industrial bases of the international political economy, including the world's newly industrializing countries (NICs), this paper focuses in detail on the distinctive features of HRM in Taiwan. The paper begins with the the origins and development of HRM in general. It then proceeds to discuss the case of Taiwan, with a view towards forecasting possible lines of future development of the discipline and theory, as the institutional and organizational lines of the global political economy continue to be drawn.

From the Paper
"The fact that social attitudes may have a bearing on events in the workplace has been recognized by observers of HRM dynamics. Newland identifies a number of "current personnel issues" that are likely to have importance for the balance of the twentieth century: "cost limitations, alternative service delivery, labor relations, productivity and performance, and legalism and staffing" (Newland, 1984, p. 22). Focusing on public-sector employees, he suggests a program of "sustained action" to meet the responsibility of these issues, which in general speak to the morale of staff and indirectly imply that productivity may become an issue. But what is important to keep in mind is the cost orientation of the analysis, which tends to highlight the conception of labor as a commodity to be bought and sold like other commodities."

Abstract
This paper provides a demographic overview of both America and Taiwan and shows how there are a great many similarities in the economic power of Taiwan and the United States. It shows how both nations have high GDPs and how both nations have relatively low unemployment rates. It compares the status of information technology management between the two countries and shows how although 80% of the internet is in English, Taiwan has the stronger internet penetration. It also shows how Taiwan is managing to keep up with businesses in America by realizing that the English language has become essential for global business and technology. It looks at how because of the large number of chip manufacturers, computer manufacturers, and other electronic manufacturing that is done in Taiwan, the country's computer engineers boast the highest percentage of English speakers in a particular profession.
From the Paper
The report also gave three survival tactics for Chinese families that own businesses. The first is to ?decentralize the decision-making process. That is to move away from a command and control system to a people-centered management strategy? while the second is to invest more in ?human resources and provide opportunities for their staff who are not family members to be able rise to the top of the management tree? while the third strategy is to ?embrace e-commerce to enable firms to reach global suppliers and customers at low cost? (Phuangkanok, 2000, 13). Those strategy suggestions make the case that management in Taiwan faces many of the same problems that management in America faces."

From the Paper
"China-the most populous country in the world-has exhibited remarkably high levels of sustained economic growth in the two decades since it reformed its economy following the death of Mao Zedong in 1976. According to some analysts, the country is poised to become the number one economy in the world sometime in the mid-twenty first century. There are, however, certain political issues that may affect China's rightful role in the future world affairs. One of them is the 'Taiwan affair'-a problem that has defied a satisfactory resolution ever since the Communist forces defeated the Kuomintang (KMT) in the Chinese Civil War in 1949 and Chiang Kai-Shek retreated to Taiwan along with 2 million of his supporters from the Mainland China. The political status of Taiwan (or the state of Republic of China) has, since that time, been a source of concern for China as well as the rest of the world."

From the Paper
"This heavy reliance on trade has driven Taiwan's rapid growth in recent decades. However, as a small island population with limited natural resources, authorities are very conscious of Taiwan's vulnerability in a turbulent world. The impact of the crisis in Asia on Taiwan's heavily export-oriented economy, while mild in comparison with most of the region, has borne this out. This experience has reinforced Taiwan's major policy directions, which aim to strengthen the domestic economy through infrastructure development, upgrading of industry and the expansion of value-added service industries."

Abstract
This is a creative political piece that briefly suggests how the U.S. must conduct itself in the future of U.S. - China relations with regards to the Taiwan issue. The Taiwan issue being that Taiwan, while an independent political entity, is still claimed by China and the U.S. officially recognizes China's claim.
From the Paper
"Mr. President, As you requested I have drafted a short briefing book to give my recommendations on what U.S. policy toward China concerning the Taiwan issue should be. This is an issue that is potentially explosive and could, if not handled correctly, turn into a war between the U.S. and China. Thus, it is essential that we keep ourselves informed of all issues related to Taiwan and of all our policies toward both Taiwan and China. Both the People?s Republic of China (mainland China) and the Republic of China (Taiwan, also known as Formosa) claim to be the legitimate governments of China, though Taiwan has recently shifted more toward separation and away from unification. Both have very powerful militaries and a conflict between the two rivals could be devastating. It is therefore important that we first try and maintain the status quo in the relationship between Taiwan and China, and if that should fail that we must handle the matter delicately both to make sure to keep China pacified but also to make sure that Taiwan remains a de facto independent entity as history and ideology demand that we guarantee the rights of the Taiwanese."

Abstract
This paper examines how the dispute of Taiwan has been an issue of concern for the overall international community as it is affecting the stability of the region and how the results of the recently held elections in Taiwan has further created tensions as the Taiwanese public has given a clear indication of their desire for independence by placing the DPP in the government. It focuses on the issue of China?s response to the results of the elections and the policies it will now adopt to deal with the situation. China still refuses to accept the independent position of Taiwan and is considering making use of military coercion, provided Taiwan declares its independence. It shows how the issue of Taiwan provides a favorable ground to China for the demonstration of its military might but how the support of the United States and a change in the policies of the Bush administration has forced the Chinese officials to soften their attitude towards Taiwan, at least for the time being.
From the Paper
"The Chinese government fears that with a shift from an authoritarian government to a democratic administration in Taiwan, the possibility of foreign intrusions in Taiwan will increase and so will in Mainland China. It claims that maintaining strict control over Taiwan and its political activities is important for the protection of China?s national interest and autonomy. China has always maintained a policy of considering Taiwan as a part of China and has treated the Taiwanese government as a subunit of overall Chinese governmental setup. It considers Taiwan as a betrayer territory, which should be controlled through military power if necessary. Conquest and reunification of Taiwan with China has always been one of the primary objectives of the Chinese governments."

Abstract
This paper examines the recent relations between the People?s Republic of China and Taiwan. Taiwan seems to have given up on reunification towards a separate identity and China has continuously threatened and attempted to intimidate Taiwan with ultimatums and display of military and international political force. On the other hand, the trade collaboration between these two countries is growing. This paper studies the relations between these countries in the last decade from a political and economical point of view. It concludes that the relationship is still intrinsically a volatile one, for both states still remain resolute on the most fundamental issue of sovereignty.
From the Paper
"When Mao and the communists defeated the Nationalist government in 1949, Chiang and his two million supporters fled China and sought refuge in the small island of Taiwan, with a promise to one day reclaim the mainland. At the time, Taiwan was considered a province of China. Demands for independence began in the 1960s as a small voice, for the Nationalist Party in power still hoped for eventual reunification with China, and has grown stronger ever since. All the while, China has not wavered for even a moment from her position that Taiwan is not its own sovereign nation but only a province of the mainland country."

From the Paper
"The election in Taiwan in March 2000 was significant because it involved the first time in the history of the Republic of China that power had changed from the traditional ruling party, the Kuomintang or KMT, to another party, the Democratic Progressive Party, which had very different policies for the governing of the nation and its relations with mainland China and the rest of the world. Examining the change of power between the Clinton Administration and the coming Bush Administration as a result of Campaign 2000 may reveal some interesting information regarding the role of media and the changeover between parties."

The China-Taiwan Issue, 2008.
This paper explores the China-Taiwan conflict and its solution.

Abstract
The paper describes how the island of Taiwan has long been a territory under some form of Chinese rule. The paper relates that the current political turmoil between China and Taiwan has its roots in the Chinese civil war in the early part of the last century. The paper notes the American support of an independent Taiwan that ensured it did not fall to the Communists. The paper shows how the solution to the difficulties between Mainland China and Taiwan is not a political one, but an economic and commercial one.
From the Paper
"The cross-strait relationship between China and Taiwan has been a point of geo-political concern since the end of World War II following the removal of Japanese colonial control when the Island experienced a brief period of political independence. This period was short-lived since only a few years later the island was inundated with Chiang Kaishek's Nationalist troops fleeing Mainland China and Mao Zedong's Communist troops. While the island of Taiwan has been variously claimed and ignored by Chinese dynasties throughout history, it was not until it was used as a place of refuge for the Goumingtang, or the Nationalists as they are known in English, that it morphed into a long-term point of contention for China and a line in the sand, as it were, for Western democracy and a buffer against Communist dominance in the region."

Abstract
This paper examines the roles of both Taiwan and Hong Kong in Chinese history and discusses each country's current situation in relation to China. Additionally, the paper analyzes Hong Kong's model of reunification with China and presents its impact on the future of Taiwan. The paper shows that, although Hong Kong and Taiwan have many ties with China, each has its own valid history, present, and future that is separate from that of mainland China.
From the Paper
"Taiwan has long been a part of China?s history. As early as 1544, Portuguese colonizers discovered the Taiwan island, and dubbed it Ilha Formosa, or the beautiful island. However, it was not until 1582 that the island became known in European navigation. By 1624, Dutch settlers had erected a fort on the isle, and had begun to colonize the southwestern area as the Dutch East Indies Company. At that point, there were not signs of any Chinese Imperial Government in the area, and was thus not considered part of China (Kung, Chia, 1). However, Spanish settlers in northern Taiwan also began to develop the area in 1626, and were in conflict with the Dutch East Indies Company. By 1942, the Dutch had expelled the Spanish from Northern Taiwan, and had begun to bring in Chinese immigrant labor for their sugar plantations and rice fields. As these workers began to tire of the trek back and forth to China, they settled in the area, often marrying the aborigine settlers. Thus, the Taiwanese race began (Ito, 4)."

From the Paper
"Furthermore to the problem of disrupted trade flows, as it must be acknowledged, Taiwan has managed to establish itself as the third largest producer of information technology products in the entire world, and this particular single industry has become the largest foreign currency generator and earner for Taiwan. This is not something, however, that is not fraught with innate risks, as demonstrated by the losses suffered by the country after the devastating earthquake recently, brought on by Taiwan's dependence on the IT industry for its blooming economy; there were just a few days of power blackouts following the earthquake, and this resulted in the complete disruption of chip manufacturing operations in the country, and this in turn meant that the prices of these components increased sky high within the next few months, all over the world."

Consumer Behavior in Taiwan, China, and the U.S., 2004.
A cross-cultural analysis of consumer behavior in China, Taiwan,
and the United States.

Abstract
Consumer behavior is influenced by many factors: cultural heritage, perceived value of goods or services, economics, and interpersonal issues. In the current global economy, it is inevitable that East and West meet in the arena of consumer goods and services. Because of the size of their populations, the United States and the two Chinas, the People's Republic and Taiwan, could easily emerge as major markets for each other?s goods and services. For any company to be successful in a cross-cultural marketing effort, however, it is essential to pay attention not only to similarities, but to differences, and then to market accordingly. In order to develop a few marketing precepts for creating goods, perhaps with variations in the goods themselves or in the marketing material, this paper looks, in depth, at the cultures of all three nations. The paper then examines what various researchers, experts, and government/trade officials have been saying about markets in the China and Taiwan.
From the Paper
"In China, where incomes have been rising, it is necessary to price items so they are affordable to enough people to become popular; in Taiwan, there would be less price sensitivity and, in fact, the Taiwanese are used to paying heftily for many necessities, such as living space, and would be far less price sensitive than the Chinese. In fact, because they have had a growing market economy for some time, they are very likely susceptible to the same upscale, higher-priced marketing concepts as Americans."

Abstract
This paper explains that conspicuous consumption is often thought of as unnecessary spending or the purchasing of products that are not necessities. Increases in upward mobility have increased conspicuous consumption patterns in nations around the world. The author points out that the impact of a rapidly growing economy and of increased education in Taiwan have had an impact on the conspicuous consumption of Generation Y. These individuals are college-educated with significant incomes and have money to spend. The paper concludes that there is a thin line between luxury and necessity; one generation's luxury becomes their successors' necessity. Luxury is often associated with a quality buy.

From the Paper
"The survey also found that some of the respondents had regrets about making expensive purchases. The phenomenon of regret was most evident in younger respondents who often regretted such purchases because they were too expensive, or the styles were outdated. The survey found that older respondents that were more financially stable rarely had regrets about the purchases they made. To combat the regret that younger consumers have companies should create a line of products that are less expensive but still have the high quality of other clothing by the designer. The less expensive line will allow younger consumers to purchase products without regret."
