  Abstract: The case study aimed to describe the values in family businesses owned by Chinese diaspora in Sarawak, Malaysia. Interviews were conducted with founders and successors from 12 Chinese family businesses to identify the values. Of the 26 values identified, the most common values are trustworthiness, hard work and prioritising personal interest over family obligation. Prioritising personal interest over family obligation, discipline and being daring in business are new values which emerged in this study, and suggest a move away from traditional values. Apart from these, it seems that Chinese cultural values are largely maintained in this Malaysian Chinese diaspora despite the prolonged contact with host cultures and the Western educational background of successors. The study produced a framework for prevailing values in family businesses owned by Chinese diaspora in Malaysia which is firmly anchored to an established framework of Chinese cultural values.

  Abstract: Second-language (L2) students use their culture and experiences to interpret new texts they encounter. This paper used content and appraisal analysis to compare how Hong Kong and mainland Chinese students view surveillance. Qualitative data was collected while Edward Snowden was in Hong Kong. Frequently-realised themes in both corpora were authorities' attempts to control people, power, and il/legitimate uses of surveillance. In the Hong Kong corpus, most attitudes were negative emotions. In the mainland corpus, most were positive judgments of normality and propriety. Strong colligations were found across several subcategories in the Hong Kong corpus, but only in judgements in the mainland corpus. Results suggest Hong Kong university students are more emotional and individualistic, connecting surveillance to the self, where mainland students are more positive, connecting surveillance to group experiences.

  Abstract: Drawing upon strategy and organisational theories and practices, we develop a model of corporate culture, strategic change and corporate performance extending the current conceptualisations of 'corporate culture' and 'strategic change'. Using data obtained from 244 Chinese construction firms our empirical results show that internal organisational factors significantly influence corporate change and hence corporate performance. In this study, strategic change is found to not only influence structures and processes, but it also lends support to the cognitive organisational reorientation approach to understand relationships. We contribute new understanding, showing that team spirit and social responsibility have a positive influence, while science and technological innovation and organisational learning have a negative influence on strategic change speed, magnitude and depth. Customer orientation did not meet the requirements of factor analysis and strategic change was found to have no intervening influence on the relationship between corporate culture and corporate performance.

  Abstract: The purpose of this study is to provide a review of previous literature on lookism, contribute toward greater understanding of the issue of lookism in the Chinese workplace, and facilitate and encourage future research on the issue of workplace lookism. Lookism refers to discrimination based on physical appearance or attractiveness bias. An integrative literature review was conducted among the articles that addressed the issues specifically surrounding lookism in Chinese workplaces. We identified the main topics including the causes and types of lookism and draw attention to the source points and key actors considered and the effects of lookism. This article discussed the role of social and cultural aspects that contribute towards the perpetration of lookism and emphasised the need for change in social awareness, human resource policies and practices, and legislation that would help eliminate the phenomenon.
