SUMMARY:Lecture: Post - Orientalist Perceptions of Tibet between China and the West: Essentialization\, Geopolitics and Topophilia
DESCRIPTION:Lecture: Post – Orientalist Perceptions of Tibet between China and the West: Essentialization\, Geopolitics and Topophilia\nWednesday\, June 11\, 2014\n12pm\, VG. Room 2.101\nDr. Dan Smyer Yu \nThe appearance of Tibet is unprecedentedly frequent in global discourses of humanitarian issues\, climate changes\, environmental conservation\, peace-building\, religion-science dialogue\, social engagement of Buddhism\, creative arts\, and New Age Spiritualty in the twenty-first century. It continues to spark imaginations of all sorts globe-wise. Scholarly critiques of “the imagined Tibet” as a popular cultural trend were initiated in the 1990s to de-essentialize the idealized image of Tibet and Tibetans. Since then a body of critical literature has quickly grown\, examining the causes and the nature of such popular fixation on things Tibetan. It undoubtedly has critical impact on the public understanding of Tibet in the modern context; however\, it is also noticeable that the initially intended de-essentializing effort is evolving into a recognizable essentialization of those who have strong interest in Tibetan culture\, religion\, and environment. This paper is intended to critique how the power-representation discourse adopted from Edward Said’s Orientalism is utilized in the context of modern Tibetan studies. Through case studies of perceptions of Tibet in China and the West\, it proposes a post-Orientalist perspective from which the unique landscape of Tibet is understood as the foundation for a type of topophilia\, which antecedently triggers what scholars characterize as “imagination\,” “fantasy\,” or “hallucination.” \nPhoto: Tibet\, rickz\, CC BY-NC-ND 2.0\, https://www.flickr.com/photos/rickz/9180133912/

SUMMARY:Lecture: Chinese Multinationals going Global: Strategies and Challenges
DESCRIPTION:Lecture: Chinese Multinationals going Global: Strategies and Challenges\nThursday\, June 12\, 2014\n4pm\, Theologicum Hörsaal T01\nProf. Dr. Klaus Meyer \nOver the past decade many Chinese enterprises have expanded their operations overseas and became substantive players in several industries and host countries.\nThis talk will explore the strategies that these Chinese companies pursue to catch up withglobal industry leaders\, focusing in particular on processes of learning about international\nbusiness operations\, and the acquisition of strategic assets overseas. It will also explore differences in these strategies between the first wave of overseas investments by state enterprises that still dominate many sectors in China\, and the second wave led by private companies in a wide range of manufacturing sectors. Despite the impressive acceleration of outward investments\, Chinese multinationals face considerable challenges managing\ntheir overseas operations\, especially acquired business units. The talk will thus conclude by outlining these operational and cross-cultural challenges\, and discuss approaches to managing them.\n \nPhoto: Mike Behnken\, I ♥ Shanghai\, CC BY-ND 2.0\, https://www.flickr.com/photos/mikebehnken/5118469004/

SUMMARY:The 5th East Asia Research Salon
DESCRIPTION:The 5th Göttingen East Asia Research Salon\n Marina Schmitz\n“Preventing Labor Turnover of Blue Collar Workers in China – Tilting at Windmills?” \nDate: June 17\, 2014\, 6.15pm-7.30pm\nPlace: CeMEAS-Meeting Room\, KWZ-Building\, Heinrich-Düker-Weg 14\n \n \nMarina Schmitz\, University of Göttingen\nRetaining employees is the crucial issue of HR managers in China nowadays. Especially manufacturing companies in China report turnover rates of 70 percent and above. Thus\, it is further necessary to deepen academic understanding of the mindset of blue collar workers\, specifically\, psychological and sociological aspects of voluntary turnover behavior among this cohort\, being the driving force of the Chinese economy. To get further insights into the topic\, I conducted interviews with blue collar workers and HR managers in China regarding work related issues\, especially asking them about influence factors of labor turnover decisions. Drawing on the knowledge I acquired in the interviews\, I am currently developing a survey which should enable me to answer the following research questions: What kind of incentives should the companies offer to make the blue collar workers stay? Which job characteristics are important for the blue collar workers regarding long-term retention? Is there a difference between the blue collar workers working in different regions or differing in demographic aspects? \nMarina Schmitz is research associate and doctoral student at the Chair for HRM and Asian Business at the University of Göttingen. She obtained her master in Sinology (Classical Sinology\, Economic Studies) at the University of Trier in 2012. In her research she focusses on retention of factory workers and the influence factors of labour turnover in China. \n  \nCeMEAS will provide coffee and light refreshments\, however feel free to bring along additional food and drinks.
