A welcome combination of first-person how-to advice and peer mentoring support, this comprehensive, essential resource book provides sound, battle-proven advice for developing effective sales and marketing strategies, managing employees, and navigating business cycles. “Growing Your Own Business” continues after the first book, “Starting Your Own Business”.

Taiwanese Identity and Democracy

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

Taiwanese Identity and DemocracyThis book examines the issues of democracy, nationalism, and strengthening Taiwan consciousness in the light of the campaign strategies employed in Taiwan’s 2004 presidential and legislative election from the perspective of Taiwanese people and Taiwanese culture.

Title: Taiwanese Identity and Democracy: The Social Psychology of Taiwan’s 2004 Elections
Authors: Olwen Bedford, a 2000 graduate of Thunderbird School of Global Management, and Hwang Kwang-Kuo.
Review: “Taiwanese Identity and Democracy is a well-documented and clearly written story of political controversy and cover-up. The social psychological expertise of the authors turns a flood light of illumination on the dark corners of Taiwan’s history and contemporary controversies, showing both the success and failures of attempts to influence public opinion and political authority. The reader will gain a carefully documented perspective that will help develop an informed opinion of the ‘real’ Taiwanese identity.” –Paul B.
