Contact details: Stephen Yiu-wai Chu, Department of Chinese Language and Literature, Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong Email: [email protected] David C. Lam Institute for East-West Studies (LEWI) Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) LEWI Working Paper Series is an endeavour of David C. Lam Institute for East-West Studies (LEWI), a consortium with 28 member universities, to foster dialogue among scholars in the field of East-West studies. Globalisation has multiplied and accelerated inter-cultural, inter-ethnic, and inter-religious encounters, intentionally or not. In a world where time and place are increasingly compressed and interaction between East and West grows in density, numbers, and spread, East-West studies has gained a renewed mandate. LEWI’s Working Paper Series provides a forum for the speedy and informal exchange of ideas, as scholars and academic institutions attempt to grapple with issues of an inter-cultural and global nature. Circulation of this series is free of charge. Comments should be addressed directly to authors. Abstracts of papers can be downloaded from the LEWI web page at http://www.hkbu.edu.hk/~lewi/publications.html. Manuscript Submission: Scholars in East-West studies at member universities who are interested in submitting a paper for publication should send an article manuscript, preferably in a Word file via e-mail, as well as a submission form (available online) to the Series Secretary at the address below.

  • 2019–20 Annual Report
    2019–20 ANNUAL REPORT OUR MISSION: To advance business school-based health management education, scholarship, and thought leadership in the global health sector. BAHM was formed in 2010 to support member schools and their faculty, students, and graduates in leveraging their expertise on behalf of US and global healthcare organizations. To achieve that goal, BAHM members — 17 premier MBA programs with a health sector focus — are committed to cultivating and promoting a solid understanding of healthcare management, policy, and innovation. BAHM schools offer a variety of graduate programs with a health sector focus. Because each program is structured differently, the method for recording the number of students and graduates can also vary across schools. BAHM has nevertheless begun to capture estimated data to underscore the impact that BAHM schools and their graduates have in the global health sector. Approximate number of 2019 graduates from MBA or similar health sector graduate programs: 1,000 Approximate number of graduates from MBA or similar health sector BUSINESS SCHOOL graduate programs HEALTH ADMINISTRATION since each program’s inception: 21,000 AHM has witnessed another great year. We’re making exciting progress in our mission of supporting our members, a mission that was reconfirmed by our members at our annual Bmeeting in June 2019. We’re maturing as an organization as reflected by the outstanding work led by Kirsten Gallagher this past year. We now have a more scalable “back-end” so that we can continue to grow the breadth of our offerings. Over the past year, we have grown our international membership with the addition of the INCAE Business School in Costa Rica, an emerging leader in business education in Central America.

  • Warriors As the Feminised Other
    Warriors as the Feminised Other The study of male heroes in Chinese action cinema from 2000 to 2009 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chinese Studies at the University of Canterbury by Yunxiang Chen University of Canterbury 2011 i Abstract ―Flowery boys‖ (花样少年) – when this phrase is applied to attractive young men it is now often considered as a compliment. This research sets out to study the feminisation phenomena in the representation of warriors in Chinese language films from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China made in the first decade of the new millennium (2000-2009), as these three regions are now often packaged together as a pan-unity of the Chinese cultural realm. The foci of this study are on the investigations of the warriors as the feminised Other from two aspects: their bodies as spectacles and the manifestation of feminine characteristics in the male warriors. This study aims to detect what lies underneath the beautiful masquerade of the warriors as the Other through comprehensive analyses of the representations of feminised warriors and comparison with their female counterparts. It aims to test the hypothesis that gender identities are inventory categories transformed by and with changing historical context. Simultaneously, it is a project to study how Chinese traditional values and postmodern metrosexual culture interacted to formulate Chinese contemporary masculinity. It is also a project to search for a cultural nationalism presented in these films with the examination of gender politics hidden in these feminisation phenomena. With Laura Mulvey‘s theory of the gaze as a starting point, this research reconsiders the power relationship between the viewing subject and the spectacle to study the possibility of multiple gaze as well as the power of spectacle.

  • Quarterly Report 2005/2006 Artiste Management the Segment Saw a Drop in Income of 36% to Approximately HK$7.2 Million (2004: HK$11.3 Million)
    CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET (“GEM”) OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (THE “STOCK EXCHANGE”) GEM has been established as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a high investment risk may be attached. In particular, companies may list on GEM with neither a track record of profitability nor any obligation to forecast future profitability. Furthermore, there may be risks arising out of the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM and the business sectors or countries in which the companies operate. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors. Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM. The principal means of information dissemination on GEM is publication on the internet website operated by the Stock Exchange. Listed companies are not generally required to issue paid announcements in gazetted newspapers. Accordingly, prospective investors should note that they need to have access to the GEM website in order to obtain up-to-date information on GEM-listed issuers. The Stock Exchange takes no responsibility for the contents of this report, makes no representation as to its accuracy or completeness and expressly disclaims any liability whatsoever for any loss howsoever arising from or in reliance upon the whole or any part of the contents of this report.

This issue begins Dividend's 21st year of publication (the first issue appeared in the Spring of 1969) and the updated look seems a good way to celebrate the magazines birthday. Thanks go to Carol for the new design. We are all delighted about the new S2.5 million grant from Ford Motor Company to fund a combined business, manufacturing, and engineering program. The grant was announced by Ford Chairman Donald Petersen when he received the 30th annual Business Leadership award here at the School in January. \Ve are grateful for the endow­ ment, which will help significantly in preparing future leaders for manufacturing careers. For more details about this, see page 23. Another exciting highlight of this spring was the Third Annual Corporate Finance Forum, sponsored by the J. Ira Harris Center for the Study of Corporate Finance. This Forum focused on corporate takeovers — are they good or bad for the nations economy? The Forum was preceded by a talk given by prominent takeover attorney Martin Lipton. who spoke on "Corporate Governance: Major Issues for the 1990s." A story about the Forum appears on page 24.
