| Modern Challenges of Immigration | | ETH/125 | | | If I were to imagine myself as a Chinese immigrant, the naturalization process could be either negative or positive depending on my specific circumstances. The reasons for the desire to come to America would determine whether the naturalization process seems easy or hard. There would be distinct differences between Chinese immigrants who are educated with specific skills and Chinese immigrants who do not. If I were a Chinese immigrant who was educated or with a specific skill then the process could seem much easier than if I were uneducated or skilled. Being an educated or skilled immigrant would most likely mean that the steps to naturalization, as in the mandatory costs and testing, would be less of a challenge to fulfill.

Loosening Chinese population policy Introduction: This is about controversial one-child policy in China and its new change. China, the world’s most populated country, has a population policy states that one family can have only one child except in some circumstances, such as both parents are minorities or the first child of the parents is disabled or has some serious inherited disease. The purpose of this policy is that the Chinese government was trying to control the boosted growth population. This policy was written in the Chinese Constitution in 1982 though it was published in the 1970s. Article 25 says that “The state promotes family planning so that population growth may fit the plans for economic and social development”, and Article 49 states that “Both husband and wife have the duty to practice family planning”.

Name: Artem Cherepanov Student ID number: 6509934 Major: International Business Management Number of Words: 922 Submission Date: 18th April, 2012 Question Title: Maslow’s hierarchy of needs as a way of understanding employee motivation in contemporary Chinese business. Since industrialization, all managers have questioned how they can motivate workers in their business. Usually people think that money is the best motivator, however this evidence is not similar for all companies. As Maslow argued, peoples’ needs were very various so he created the hierarchy of human needs based on deficiency and growth needs in order to help managers in workers’ motivation (Robinson, 2004). However, the Maslow’s theory does not fully explain the motivation of numbers of workers especially in contemporary Chinese business as it has a lot of disadvantages.
Let me start this case study with a quote from the case: »The foreign impression is that the Chinese act as if they are in the driver's seat.« After carefully reading the case of the failed joint venture negotiations between Electrowide and Motosuzhou, it seems obvious that in order to succeed in a global economy, Electrowide would need to locate production in Asia – the fastest growing economy. So, Chinese companies indeed are »in the driver's seat«, meaning that the foreign companies, which want to enter the Chinese market, have to adapt to their culture in order to succeed there. Not only have to foreign companies try to adapt to the Chinese culture, but they also have to fully understand it. This is obviously not the case with the Electrowide's approach to the joint venture negotiations with Motosuzhou. Electrowide's three-person team to carry out the task of purusing a JV with the Chinese counterparts has a shortage on three areas: 1) business skills (none of them have degrees that would aid in international business relations), 2) language skills (only Ms. Morgan spoke conversational Chinese, but traditional Chinese society is male-centered, so her Chinese can be of little help) and 3) intercultural competence.
