Research Interests/Project(s)
This project is to set up a databank of the mainlanders and
expatriates in Hong Kong as a starting point for further research
and a reference for government to formulate policies; to make
assessment of impacts of mainlanders and expatriates on Hong
Kong's economy and society, to identify major contributions that
they have made and major problems encountered, and evaluate
relevant policies on importing and retaining mainlanders and
expatriates in Hong Kong; to formulate a theoretical framework for
analyzing the mobility pattern of mainlander and expatriate
talents in post-1997 Hong Kong.
This project is a long-term collaborative project undertaken by
researchers at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the
Polytechnic University and the University of Hong Kong. It
focuses on the measurement and study of social development in Hong
Kong. Three telephone polls covering a sample of 1,000
respondents each were completed during February and November in
2004, and March 2005. In collaboration with the Institute of
Sociology, Academia Sinica (Taiwan), a comparative telephone
survey of the social image between Taiwan and Hong Kong was
conducted in December 2004.
This
project is to identify the sources of dynamism of large Chinese
business families through in-depth study of three strategic cases
with origins in the Chinese mainland, Taiwan and Hong Kong
respectively. It examines how these business families manage to
create diverse and effective external linkages and networks. This
project also intends to shed light on the different economic and
political environment in which they operate and to trace the
various trajectories of entrepreneurial development in different
Chinese societies. It will also contribute to the creation of a
much-needed Asian family business case files and database.
