Download or read book Translation Globalisation and Localisation written by Wang Ning and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2008-03-28 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global/local distinction has changed significantly, and the topic has been heatedly debated in literary and cultural as well as translation scholarship. In this age of globalisation, the traditional definition of translation has been altered. In the present anthology, translation is viewed as a cultural and political practice, and accordingly translation studies is based on a heightened awareness of global/local tensions in translation and of its moderating and transforming impact on local cultural paradigms. All the essays in this anthology deal with issues of translation from a cultural and theoretic perspective with regard to tensions and conflicts between global and local interests and values. No matter how different their approaches may seem, the essays are thematically integrated to discuss translation in a dialectical framework: either “globalising” Chinese issues internationally, or “localising” general and international issues domestically.

Download or read book East West Identities written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2007-10-30 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under the simultaneous influences of globalization and localization, there has emerged a prevalent social formation based on a hybridized culture in which the cultural norms are many and various: boundary transcendence, alternative cultures, cultural hybridity, cultural creativity, connectivity, tolerance, multiculturalism, cosmopolitanism. While the economic forces shaping globalization are powerful and seemingly getting stronger, they are not immutable, nor are their effects predictable or necessarily overwhelming. Contributors to this book are optimistic that the socio-cultural formations of the future, such as cultural hybridity and cosmopolitanism, will be a viable option for constructing new or renewed global communities of migrants around the world. It is on these diasporic communities that the self-definition (the self-identity) and cultural expansion of all migrants depend, and it is with these tools that migrants are best equipped to navigate the raging torrents of globalization in the new millennium of a post-postmodern era. Globalization brings with it a fear, a sense of loss and demise. It also brings with it a new sense of opportunity and hope. It is in this spirit that this book should be read.

Download or read book New Strategic Research On China Shanghai Pilot Free Trade Zone written by Zhigang Yuan and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2016-02-22 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a detailed study of practices of China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone (Shanghai FTZ henceforth). It aims to answer questions related to establishing the Shanghai FTZ and improving its practices, such as the future of world's macro-economy, the Shanghai FTZ's position in Chinese and world economy, government transition and international trade upgrading, as well as financial sector opening up strategies and innovations. By answering these questions, implications for possible future policy developments are provided. Though the operation of Shanghai FTZ is the main focus, this book delves deeper into the question of how China will further reform its financial system in the future. Similar to the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, which heralded China's economic transformation in the 1980s and 1990s, the Shanghai FTZ may well be such a pioneer project, pointing to the future economic path that China might tread. Written by the foremost Chinese economists — with some involved in the setup process of the Shanghai FTZ, this book is a must read for anyone who is interested in the prospects of the Shanghai FTZ and the future direction of the Chinese economic development.

Download or read book Globalization and the Making of Religious Modernity in China written by Thomas Jansen and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-03-20 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalization and the Making of Religious Modernity in China, co-edited by Thomas Jansen, Thoralf Klein and Christian Meyer, investigates the transformation of China’s religious landscape under the impact of global influences since 1800. The interdisciplinary case studies analyze the ways in which processes of globalization are interlinked with localizing tendencies, thereby forging transnational relationships between individuals, the state and religious as well as non-religious groups at the same time that the global concept ‘religion’ embeds itself in the emerging Chinese ‘religious field’ and within the new academic disciplines of Religious Studies and Theology. The contributions unravel the intellectual, social, political and economic forces that shaped and were themselves shaped by the emergence of what has remained a highly contested category. The contributors are: Hildegard Diemberger, Vincent Goossaert, Esther-Maria Guggenmos, Thomas Jansen, Thoralf Klein, Dirk Kuhlmann, LAI Pan-chiu, Joseph Tse-Hei Lee, Christian Meyer, Lauren Pfister, Chloë Starr, Xiaobing Wang-Riese, and Robert P.

Download or read book Globalization Vs Localization Branding in China How Can Red Bull Resonate with Chinese Post 90s Students a Mixed Method Research written by Xiaoxi Liu and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In den letzten 25 Jahren ist es der Red Bull GmbH gelungen die Marke Red Bull international in 160 Ländern zu etablieren. In China, dem bevölkerungsreichsten Staat der Welt, ist dies interessanterweise noch nicht gelungen und daher zählt das Reich der Mitte noch nicht zur World of Red Bull. Im Jahr 2011, dem chinesischen Jahr des Hasen, bündelte der Energy-Drinkriese und began mit den Vorbereitungen um in diesen zweistellig wachsenden Markt einzusteigen. Während Red Bull auf die Genehmigung der Chinesischen Behörden wartet, stellen sich aus der Sicht des Marketings einige interessante Fragen: Wie kann Red Bull seine Chinesischen Konsumenten erreichen? Wird Red Bull auch in China mit seinen globalen Marketing Strategien erfolgreich sein? In dieser Arbeit versuchen wir diese Fragen durch einen drei Phasen explorativen Ansatz zu beantworten. Wir identifizieren die Chinesische 90er Studenten als die wichtigste Zielgruppe für Red Bull und werden uns mit dieser Gruppe auseinandersetzen und diese vorstellen. In der ersten Phase werden wir die Ergebnisse der Auseinandersetzung mit vorhandener Literatur um einige Fokusgruppen bereichern. Weiters werden wir, aufbauend auf den Ergebnissen aus der vorhergehenden Phase, eine Umfrage entwerfen die es ermöglicht 25 Hyphothesen zu untersuchen. In der letzten Phase führen wir die Umfrage an Chinesischen Universitäten durch und sammeln ca. 350 Antworten. Aus den Ergebnissen formulieren wir Empfehlungen an Red Bull für den bevorstehenden Markteintritt und, in einer weiteren Stufe, generalisieren wir diese Empfehlungen sodass diese auch auf andere Marken angewandt werden können. Die gewonnen Resultate sind erfolgversprechend für Red Bull. Die Studenten waren äußerst interessiert an den von Red Bull im Ausland organisierten Events, wenngleich diese Sportarten und Veranstaltung in China dem breiten Publikum noch nicht bekannt sind. Red Bulls globale Marketing Kommunikation erhöhen die implizierten und verringern die primären Assoziationen der Marke Red Bull. Das Markenimage von Red Bull passt mit den angestrebten Lifestyle der 90er Generation sehr gut überein. Weiters ist diese Generation bereit eine Online Community rund um Red Bull auf sozialen Netzwerken aufzubauen.*****Over the past 25 years the Austrian Red Bull GmbH successfully established its brand Red Bull in 160 countries. However, surprisingly, the worlds most populated country, China, is not yet integrated into the The World of Red Bull. In 2011 the Chinese year of the rabbit the energy drink giant decided to finally step into this high annual growth market. While Red Bull is waiting for final approval from the Chinese authorities, an important question arises from a marketer perspective: How can Red Bull successfully reach its Chinese target group? In a country of more than 3000 years of recorded history, can Red Bull be successful with its global marketing communications?We aim at answering this question by means of a three-staged exploratory study. We identify the Chinese post-90s students as a very important target group for Red Bull and will analyse its characteristics. In phase one, we carry out qualitative focus group discussions to explore the insights from a preceding literature survey. Next, and more importantly, we design a questionnaire based on the qualitative findings from phase one. The final phase is the quantitative phase where we conduct the survey by visiting three Chinese universities and collecting about 350 data samples. We apply several statistical tools to prove/reject a set of 25 hypotheses which are the foundation for a set of recommendations for Red Bull. We then generalize this advice to guidelines for marketing communications of foreign brands targeting the Chinese post 90s generation. The results are promising for Red Bull. Students were very interested and curious about the Red Bull organized events, although these kinds of sports and culture events are unfamiliar to the masses in China. Red Bulls global marketing communications increase the implicit meaning of the brand, and weaken the primary brand associations. Interestingly, the brand image of Red Bull matches the aspired lifestyle of this generation very well. Furthermore, the students are enthusiastic to build up an online brand community for Red Bull on social media.

Download or read book Chinese State Owned Enterprises in West Africa written by Katy Ngan Ting Lam and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-12-08 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the globalization process of Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOEs) in West Africa, primarily in Benin and Ghana, based on ethnographical studies. It challenges the dominant vision of "a powerful China in Africa", and argues that the so-called "Chinese business advantages" – monolithic Chinese state and Chinese low cost advantages, are non-viable for sustaining Chinese business development in the continent. Considering the Chinese SOEs globalization process in a relational approach, this book examines how the triple embeddedness (Chinese, African and managerial) shapes the Chinese SOEs globalization process over time and space, in diverse dimensions and among different entities – the Chinese state, Chinese SOEs, Chinese expatriates, the African government, African business partners, African staff, and the African society. It illustrates that the Chinese central state has "retreated" deliberately from its SOE globalization in Africa. The Chinese SOEs and Chinese expats are the major actors in initiating and inventing globalization strategies, facing limited Chinese state support and the African neopatrimonial governance and social contexts. Besides, the personal trajectories (from expatriation to social promotion) of Chinese SOE expats interweave with the globalization-turn-localization of their SOEs in Africa. Rejecting the linear, static and binary vision of "powerful China in powerless Africa", the present study thus emphasizes power dynamics in Chinese SOEs’ globalization process are organic and pluralistic though in certain extent hierarchical –"second-class". Time and local relations are key elements constituting the real Chinese advantages for Chinese SOEs vis-a-vis their ultimate competitors – not Western companies, but other Chinese companies.

Download or read book The Belt and Road Initiative written by Liu Weidong and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-01 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Belt and Road Initiative (hereafter BRI) of China has attracted worldwide attention and participation, causing a lot of debate over its implications for international society. Although it is still in a budding stage, the BRI seems to afford a framework for an increasing number of countries to explore jointly new international economic governance mechanisms and offer significant opportunities for them to cope jointly with global challenges. Taking a globalization perspective and tracking the ancient silk roads, this book tries to examine the general context in which the BRI is raised and implemented, arguing that this Chinese initiative, instead of replacing existing international cooperation mechanisms, is a call for the reform and development of neoliberal globalization and will open up a new era of inclusive globalization. Inclusive globalization is neither an overturning nor a simple continuation of neoliberal globalization but rather a proposal capable of addressing the problems of existing globalization. The difference between them lies in the fact that globalization cannot only serve the "spatial fix" of capital but also has to meet the needs of living people. The book also addresses a number of major issues on building the Belt and Road and contains Chinese media’s interviews with the author on various BRI issues. Given the author has been intensively involved in the study of and planning for the BRI, the book offers a valuable academic insight into this Chinese initiative.

Download or read book From Global to Local written by Finbarr Livesey and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2017-09-19 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This brilliantly original book dismantles the underlying assumptions that drive the decisions made by companies and governments throughout the world, to show that our shared narrative of the global economy is deeply flawed. If left unexamined, they will lead corporations and countries astray, with dire consequences for us all. For the past fifty years or so, the global economy has been run on three big assumptions: that globalization will continue to spread, that trade is the engine of growth and development, and that economic power is moving from the West to the East. More recently, it has also been taken as a given that our interconnectedness—both physical and digital—will increase without limit. But what if all these ideas are wrong? What if everything is about to change? What if it has already begun to change but we just haven't noticed? Increased automation, the advent of additive manufacturing (3D printing, for example), and changes in shipping and environmental pressures, among other factors, are coming together to create a fast-changing global economic landscape in which the rules are being rewritten—at once a challenge and an opportunity for companies and countries alike.

Download or read book Transfiguration of Chinese Christianity Localization and Globalization written by Allan H. Anderson and published by 政大出版社. This book was released on 2018-11-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since Christianity was re-introduced to China in the early nineteenth century, Chinese Christianity has undergone a holistic “transfiguration” which both truthfully restores ante-Nicene Christianity and successfully adapts to the cultural contexts of Chinese and other societies. The theoretical and theological diversity of this book is consistent with that of traditional Chinese religious writings as well as that of the ante-Nicene fathers but may be deemed un-theoretical, un-academic, or un-theological by those theologians who received Western theological training, as that tends to be too hegemonic, emotionless, and archaic in the eyes of lay believers.
