CHINA’S GLOBAL IMPACT

ECONOMICS - CULTURE - POLITICS

CONFERENCE AT UTAH VALLEY UNIVERSITY, FRIDAY TO SUNDAY, MARCH 23-25, 2012

Limited travel grants for domestic and international travel available. Please send abstracts (150 words), c.v. (100 words), c.v. (1 page), photo until Feb 27, 2012 to martin.woesler@uvu.edu.

The conference will bring together experts in macroeconomics, in Chinese culture and Chinese political science, presenting their findings regarding the dimensions (descriptive and comparative approaches) and reasons (interpretative and historical approaches) of China’s impact on the world today.

Description: As China emerges as the new economical powerhouse and claims its voice as a new political superpower next to the United States, the relation between the U.S. and China wavers between admiration and rivalry. In the emerging new world order, the perception by common people of these two powers is driven by emotions. This situation is similar to the West’s cold war concept of the “communist enemy” or the “capitalist enemy” and the strategies of deterrence, appeasement and detainment. The U.S. and China are emotionally perceived with fear or admiration both in their respective countries and abroad. Interdisciplinary scientific scholarship attempts to objectify the discussion by examining the dimensions and exploring the reasons for these tensions.

Abstracts

Section I: China’s Economic Impact

► China and India in comparison – Questioning the sustainability of China as the world’s economic engine

Stefan Messmann (Budapest, Hungary)

In the 21st century the competition for the position of the most powerful economic nation of the world will be carried out between China and India. Since the end of the Mao era in China in 1976, China introduced serious political, economic and legal reforms resulting in substantial economic growth and relative wealth of the Chinese population. Thus, in 1980 the average income of a Chinese was half of that of an Indian. Today, China overtook by far her Indian competitor: the average per capita income in China today is more than $7,500 p.a. and thus doubles the average Indian income. China is estimated to reach about 18% of the world GDP in the next 5-10 years, India only 6%. Chinese population is stagnating at around 1.3 billion, Indian’s population being roughly 700 million in 1980, reaches 1.2 billion today. By 2020 there will be assumingly more Indians than Chinese. The advantage of India could lay in her population growth, but it could also be a hitch for her further development. While in China sees 8 to 10 million quite well educated newcomers on the labour market every year, in India these are more than 13 million (tendency increasing) and their education is still rather poor. Besides, in India the privatization of inefficient state owned enterprises is slow, the legal system unreformed, the poverty increasing, the economic growth is legging behind of that of China’s and the still existing cast system continues to be disadvantageous to the country’s further economic growth. These are the indications of the sustainability of the Chinese advantage in the coming years in comparison to India.

► Inside China’s “Growth Engine:” How international technology transfer is done and how it changes people, firms, and countries

David N. McArthur (Orem, USA)

Since the opening of the Chinese market in the 1980s, Western companies have moved their production technology to subsidiaries and controlled joint venture partners in China. On the heels of successful offshoring, many of these companies now understand themselves as international firms, who move production technology within their international network of subsidiaries, rather than as manufacturers as they had previously. In general, when talking about the Chinese economical miracle, one neglects the role of the international firms, which have not only initiated a one-way know-how transfer and now profit from their exports from China and the emerging Chinese market. The main value creation in China is still done by these international firms. As they direct their direct foreign investment into their Chinese subsidiaries they change the capabilities of workers, teams, subsidiaries, and Chinese competitors. What will happen, when another region becomes the new hotspot for Foreign Direct Investments? What role do different units in their networks play, and how do they interact? How do managers perceive their units' roles, act out their perceptions, and manage disagreement and change in unit roles? How does the cultural environment influence these units? These questions will be answered with a focus on China.

► Analysis on Impact of Marketing Dynamic Capabilities of the Chinese International Enterprise Huawei against the Value of Stakeholders

Susan Hui Xu (Tianjin, China)

Marketing dynamic capabilities is not only the organizational resources to obtain and maintain competitive advantage when the enterprises faced turbulent environment, but also an important foundation for value creation, and thus has a positive impact on the value network of stakeholders. In this study, based on the marketing dynamic capabilities theory and value of stakeholder theory, the paper uses single case study approach, takes Chinese company Huawei as the study object, and the main line of the study is the relation between value creation and marketing dynamic capabilities which embed in core business processes-product development management, supply chain management and customer relationship management. From the perspective of the three management processes, the paper identify the value creation characteristics, which is helpful for exploring the marketing dynamic capabilities’ impact against stakeholders’ value.

► Comparative Worker Attitudes and Human Capital Leadership Strategies in the US and China

Jonathan H. Westover (Orem, Utah)

Effective Human Resource Management (HRM) is essential to providing increased value to all organizational stakeholders and enhancing an organization’s strategic competitive advantage, requiring a broad awareness and understanding of a wide variety of psychological, economic, organizational, and social concepts, issues and cross-cultural and global phenomena. Furthermore, “globalization" represents a wide range of complex processes in our modern world and these processes have wide sweeping impacts on the international political economy, international capitalism, and the ability for organizations of all types to gain and maintain a competitive advantage and successfully compete in an increasingly global economy. Furthermore, increasing "globalization" over the past several decades has changed the dynamics of an increasingly international labor force, how organizations compete for this labor, their internal labor dynamics, and ultimately how they do business. Moreover, in this increasingly hyper-competitive and shifting global marketplace, with the emergence of the technology and service-oriented knowledge organization, firms are fighting to stay lean and flexible in an effort to satisfy increasingly diverse and specialized consumer demand around the world, requiring enhanced levels of organizational flexibility and innovation. Within such a dynamic globalized context, firms must continually ask themselves (1) how to maximize the human capital potential of workers to enhance their ability to perform and add value in a hyper-intensive competitive global marketplace, and (2) how the organization can effectively foster a continuous learning and innovation culture, thus enabling them to train the rising generation of knowledge workers with the knowledge, skills, and the ability to perform and add value in a hyper-intensive competitive global marketplace. This presentation will explore these questions as they relate to the comparative work contexts of the U.S. and China, with a focus on comparative worker attitudes and human capital leadership strategies.

► Innovation as a key factor for China’s future - China’s role in historical perspective

J. Kent Millington (Hefei, China / Orem, Utah)

After 1500 years of astonishing discoveries in science, technology, and navigation, China turned inward at the start of the Ming dynasty in the 15th Century. Today’s rise in innovation and economic strength is a return to its former glory and dignity. China is rapidly moving from the country of cheap production to one of significant technological innovation. China’s scientists are taking their place among world leaders in nanotechnology, sustainable energy, and materials innovations. To facilitate this emergence, China is modernizing its legal system to accommodate intellectual property and legal contract concerns, changing its emphasis on entrepreneurship and innovation, and promoting broader ownership rights. Evidence of these changes and examples of technical innovations will be given. China’s emerging leadership in some areas of technology will be highlighted. China’s innovative past is now being tied to its innovative future as the creative genius of its people is being encouraged and liberated.

► We have to become more Chinese to be successful with and in China - Introducing key principles of Chinese Culture

Lisa CHENG (SLC, Utah)

To be successful with and in China, Western businessmen must be willing to learn from China and inhale core principles of Chinese culture. “Guanxi”, meaning relationship, is the key to for successful business in China. Guanxi has 5 major components:

• Trust: Before any business can be done you must establish trust. Not defined by contacts, before contact, personal time together, personal and social network
• Friendship: Won’t do business without trust of friendship, extends to family, extends to business associates.
• Privacy: Sharing of personal information, communications techniques, Mian Zi (Face) giving, saving and losing
• Gifts: Local province customs, knowing culture value system, value of gift is relevant, associated with respect.
• Food: conduit for business, variety of food for hospitality, food does not, “get in the way of business”, home invite for food, “first step”

Section II: China’s Cultural Impact

► China’s global impact in modern history

Kirk Larsen (Provo, USA)

► Two worlds, one soul: Comparing the life narratives about interwar Ding Ling and Simona de Beauvoir

Li GUO (SLC, USA)

The historical affinities between Simone de Beauvoir (1908-1986) and Ding Ling (1904-1986) could be dated to the inter-war era, when both passionately denounced traditional gender roles and searched for new socio-democratic spaces. This paper, tracing the two fore-running women’s lives in their autobiographical works, hopes to draw fresh reserves of strengths from their personal stories for a salient understanding of transnational feminist discourse. Beauvoir, renouncing her religious faith, dedicated herself to individualistic liberation from contesting emotional, cultural and political boundaries. Ding Ling, after breaking away from her arranged marriage, submerged her personal identity into the revolutionary course of the collective in the May Fourth period. These authors’ memoires present women striving to achieve identity and self-knowledge, drawing the readers’ attention to the ever evolving question of the personal and the collective, and the contingent necessity of self-sacrifice when women were challenged by the crises of love, relationship and personal courses in tumultuous socio-historical circumstances.

► The Relationship among Perceived International Risk, International Experience and International Performance - An Empirical Study Based On International Enterprises from China

Susan Hui Xu (Tianjin, China)

As the indicator for the degree of achieving specific organizational goals (Kast and Rosenzweig, 1979), performance is the basis for enterprises to make for further strategic planning. For the international enterprises in emerging markets, heterogeneity of the international market environment, and the lack of historical information increases the difficulty of achieving business goals. Therefore, based on the concept of perceived international risk, adopting the moderator variable and the mediating variable, this study proposed a integrated research framework and integrated the mechanism among perceived international risk and international performance. The results show that there is a significant negative relationship between perceived international risk and international performance; except the direct influence, perceived international risk has an indirect influence on international performance through entry mode, namely, entry mode works as a mediating variable between perceived international risk and international performance; the influence on the international performance from perceived international risk is moderated by international experience, the regression coefficient between perceived internatinonal risk and international perforamcne is the quadratic function of international experience.

Section III: China’s Political Impact

► The new ‘super softpower’: China’s Cultural impact in the U.S. and Europe with a focus on language policy

Martin Woesler (Orem, Utah)

In recent language immersion programs many U.S. and European students attend half of their courses in Chinese, although statistics reveal Chinese takes 1.6 times longer to master than a Western language. There is no direct domination of Chinese, parents choose it voluntarily to offer their children better job opportunities in a China-dominated global economy. China profits from know-how transfer in university partnerships and joint ventures. It invests a fortune and sends teachers overseas, grants funds for over 500 dependent Confucius Institutes, which differ from Goethe Institutes in criticism and dependency. With the U.S. rise to power, its culture became appealing. English, fast food, prolific U.S. films and a range of popular culture congested the world. Today, popularized elements of Chinese culture - Kung-fu, eating with chopsticks, esoteric interpretation of yin and yang, the decorative use of Chinese characters etc. – fascinate as exotic. Being so distant from Western culture, can Chinese culture become dominant? Does the cultural flow from Europe to China reverse? Is all this a threat to the West?

► The need for Chinese poetry in our globalized world, with a focus on Tao Qian

Fusheng Wu (SLC, Utah)

In this globalized world nearly everything is becoming standardized, and the pressure on us to conform to various standards and expectations are immense. In this context, Tao Yuanming's poetry, with its message of non-conformity, individual integrity and freedom, may offer some lessons to us on how to lead a meaningful, balanced life of one's own choice, instead of following blindly the norms of a society that is increasingly becoming impersonal.

► How China uses its economic power to impact industrial democracies in terms of human rights (including religious freedom) in the West

Guoguang Wu (Victoria, Canada)

► Chinese nationalism and the potential for Northeast Asian regional integration

Ivan Willis Rasmussen (Medford, Massachusetts)

Along with the Middle East and South Asia, Northeast Asia remains one of the least integrated regions. The benefits of integration are significant: Economic success through regional projects can be seen in Europe with the EU, Southeast Asia with ASEAN, and even in the emerging African efforts with the AU. Trade barriers and social tensions have been mitigated, even erased with these efforts even though progress was not inevitable. Longstanding historical conflicts are typically cited as explanation for ‘stunted’ Northeast Asian integration along with a limited level of bilateral normalization of relations (Rozman). Despite the limits and challenges of cooperation leading to integration, the potential exists in several formal and informal mechanisms such as the Six Party Talks and Free Trade Agreements between China, South Korea, and Japan. Framed as a ‘win-win’ for all states involved, integration offers the possibility of increasing the already strong Northeast Asian economic dynamism (Kühnhardt). At the center of any regional project would be China; the historical legacy of the Chinese tribute system as a form of regional economic interaction complicates any project. Additionally, the modern manifestation of Chinese nationalism acts as an obstacle to integration. The following study will examine the potential for Northeast Asian regional integration in the context of increasing Chinese nationalism and shifting Chinese foreign policy. The author will argue that while nationalism does create several salient obstacles for integration, economic jingoism in China could be harnessed as a tool that invigorates public support for regional efforts.

► The influence of Chinese perception of the US on US-China relations

Eric Hyer (Provo, Utah)

► The Knowledge economy with Chinese characteristic.

Paolo Do (London, UK)

The changes in the higher education of China are taking hold at a breakneck pace. The Middle Kingdom represents a new global ‘geopolitical dispositive’ able to attract human capital; a new destination for skilled manpower thus drafting a world order spatially dispersed and globally integrated. The emerging of this new geography is parallel to the multiplication of asymmetries and displacement managed by knowledge production. The increasingly transnationalization of higher education in China, the growing mobility of Chinese students and the rising R&D laboratories able to shift from ‘made in China’ to ‘create in China’ are affecting the same idea of globalization: a new set of interactions and fluxes between non-localizable connections is rising. Starting from China, an original management of populations and governance of knowledge production is raising at the global scale, within original indistinction between regimes of education, labour and migration.
