in China
[ send
me this paper ]
This 8 page report discusses international joint ventures in China and the
successes of joint business ventures between Chinese business and foreign
businesses. The ability of business investors who reside in one country and
invest in a business in another to influence the firms in which they have an
ownership stake is an issue of long-standing concern. With the growth of large
corporations and the dispersion of their stockholders in the past several
decades, concern about the divorce of ownership from control became important.
The question of establishing wholly-owned business in China has become an issue
of concern, as well as the future of multinational enterprises both in and with
China. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

[ send
me this paper ]
(5 pp) When we first begin to make the effort of learning, or deciding who we
are, or who we want to be, we usually have to take into account how others
perceive us. Naturally the first who do that are our parents. We have that
problem presented in the readings that we have been given: Amy Tann's "Two
Kinds," and Danzy Senna's "The Mulatto Millennium." These two
works will be used as a basis for the "learning of self."
