Exploration Of Hotel Distribution Channels In China — Focus On Hotel Call Centers, Tao Yu
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
In a world of increasing global competition, choosing an effective distribution channel is crucial for hoteliers to deliver value for their products and services.

Executive Compensation, Firm Performance And Liquidity Under Imperfect Corporate Governance, Yongli Luo
Executive Compensation, Firm Performance And Liquidity Under Imperfect Corporate Governance, Yongli Luo
Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA
This dissertation examines the relationship between executive compensation, firm performance and liquidity under imperfect corporate governance institution by using a novel Chinese dataset over 2001-2010. The first essay examines the determinants of Chinese executive compensation from the agency-based theoretical framework. I find that there is a positive relationship between Chinese executive compensation and firm performance. The weak corporate governance in China exhibits strong liquidity and control effects after the split-share structure reform. It seems that CEO duality, the establishment of compensation committee, and the involvement of state ownership in Chinese public firms may lead executive compensation to a relation-based rather …
Un-Obtainium: The Quest For Rare Earth Elements, Brahm Heyman
Un-Obtainium: The Quest For Rare Earth Elements, Brahm Heyman
International Political Economy Theses
The 17 "rare earth elements" are essential for the development of new technologies. Over the last several decades, China has established a virtual monopoly on the rare earth industry, producing over 97% of the world's current demand.

In 2010, in an effort to bolster its domestic market, China decided to reduce the amount of rare earth elements that it would export. This situation can be used to consider China's relations with the rest of the world from two perspectives. (1) The realist perspective views China's actions …

Understanding Conflict Avoiding Behavior In China : The Role Of Goal Interdependence And Behavioral Intentions, Lin Wang
Theses & Dissertations
It is a commonly held belief that people from collectivistic, large power distance or high-context cultures, such as China, tend to be less confrontational, which could be counter-productive in organizations. Contrary to this traditional view, this study posits that conflict avoidance can be constructive depending on the specific actions protagonists take. It adopts Deutsch’s (1973) theory of cooperation and competition to understand conflict avoiding behavior between employees and their supervisors, indicating that people’s perceptions of goal interdependence significantly influence their behavioral intentions that in turn predict their overt actions to avoid conflict. Specifically, it proposes that goal interdependence greatly affects …
