Download or read book The Effects of Cultural Norms on New Zealand s Added value Dairy Products in China written by Sunshine Liang Lai and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A strong market demand for safe and quality dairy products provides New Zealand dairy companies with the opportunities to expand their businesses by entering the Chinese market. An in-depth understanding of Chinese consumer perceptions on New Zealand's added-value dairy products is essential for New Zealand companies who wish to develop their businesses in China. Currently there is limited knowledge of the potential impacts of Chinese cultural norms on New Zealand's added-value dairy products and subsequently how these dairy products can be designed specifically to suit the values and needs of Chinese consumers. This study explores these areas and provides New Zealand companies with a more in-depth understanding of the Chinese market. This study adopted a focus group method and focus groups were conducted in four Chinese cities with representatives of Chinese consumers of dairy products. These focus groups investigated the general perceptions of Chinese consumers towards New Zealand's dairy products and the cultural norms associated with different aspects of these products, including: product design, brand design and packaging design. The key findings of this study indicate that although New Zealand's clean, green, natural environment has a positive effect on the Chinese consumers' perceptions of New Zealand's dairy products, this environmental factor did not translate to an obvious competitive advantage for New Zealand's dairy products in Chinese consumer perceptions. In the case of developing a dairy product for Chinese consumers, product design, brand design and packaging design are strongly related to the Chinese tradition of gift-giving and Chinese face psychology. These Chinese cultural norms are also evolving as young Chinese consumers are subject to Western cultural influences. In order for New Zealand companies to succeed in the Chinese market, they must have a better understanding of these Chinese cultural norms. Future research should adopt a mixed-methods design approach by incorporating a quantitative research method to increase coverage of geographical areas and the number of participants. In addition, future research can look into the marketing strategies adopted by different international and local Chinese dairy companies used to promote their products in China.

Download or read book Nutritional Modulation of Neural Function written by John E. Morley and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nutritional Modulation of Neural Function probes into the mechanisms by which ingested foods can exert such influences and modulate neuronal function. The compendium is based on the meeting held in Santa Barbara, California, in March 1986, under the aegis of the Brain Research Institute of the University of California, Los Angeles. The papers in the book examines topics such as the effects of food on the release of peptide hormones from the gastrointestinal tract and the effect of these peptides on central nervous system function; the mechanisms by which mammals regulate ingestive behaviors; food myths and the effects of various nutritional components to behavior and mental functioning; the evidence that glucose can modulate opioid receptors and alter a number of opioid-dependent behaviors; and the role of zinc metabolism in limbic system structures in the pathogenesis of seizures. Neurologists, pathologists, and researchers in the field of medicine will find the text very insightful.

Download or read book China s Influence and American Interests written by Larry Diamond and published by Hoover Press. This book was released on 2019-08-01 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While Americans are generally aware of China's ambitions as a global economic and military superpower, few understand just how deeply and assertively that country has already sought to influence American society. As the authors of this volume write, it is time for a wake-up call. In documenting the extent of Beijing's expanding influence operations inside the United States, they aim to raise awareness of China's efforts to penetrate and sway a range of American institutions: state and local governments, academic institutions, think tanks, media, and businesses. And they highlight other aspects of the propagandistic “discourse war” waged by the Chinese government and Communist Party leaders that are less expected and more alarming, such as their view of Chinese Americans as members of a worldwide Chinese diaspora that owes undefined allegiance to the so-called Motherland.Featuring ideas and policy proposals from leading China specialists, China's Influence and American Interests argues that a successful future relationship requires a rebalancing toward greater transparency, reciprocity, and fairness. Throughout, the authors also strongly state the importance of avoiding casting aspersions on Chinese and on Chinese Americans, who constitute a vital portion of American society. But if the United States is to fare well in this increasingly adversarial relationship with China, Americans must have a far better sense of that country's ambitions and methods than they do now.

Book excerpt: Regulating Safety of Traditional and Ethnic Foods, a compilation from a team of experts in food safety, nutrition, and regulatory affairs, examines a variety of traditional foods from around the world, their risks and benefits, and how regulatory steps may assist in establishing safe parameters for these foods without reducing their cultural or nutritive value. Many traditional foods provide excellent nutrition from sustainable resources, with some containing nutraceutical properties that make them not only a source of cultural and traditional value, but also valuable options for addressing the growing need for food resources. This book discusses these ideas and concepts in a comprehensive and scientific manner. Addresses the need for balance in safety regulation and retaining traditional food options Includes case studies from around the world to provide practical insight and guidance Presents suggestions for developing appropriate global safety standards
