For Fuji Xerox, CSR is to seek for corporate quality. In seeking for the corporate quality, Fuji Xerox endeavors itself to the realization of the value target defined in its mission declaration. We believe these activities will create a society of sustainable development. FuJi Xerox 3 Sustainability Report 2011 Conceiving on Excellent Corporation Corporate Vision Fuji Xerox (Shenzhen) put up with the concept of “Outstanding Company” in 1992 and based on this, it set its target of “being friendly, joyful and powerful”. Powerful: be able to create value for customers and investors Friendly: to the society and environment Joyful: to work and life ● Contribution to customers and ● Posts for creativity shareholders ● Concern at environment Powerful ● Contribution to local community and ● Personal accomplishments international society Friendly Joyful An outstanding Company Corporate philosophy Provide excellent quality and value and meet customers' needs.

Shared Value Customers' satisfaction Environment Adventure concept Enjoyment/ Advanced achievement ethics Shared values Trust/ Scientific understanding reflection Diversified Professioni- culture zation Team work FuJi Xerox Sustainability Report 2011 4 President and General Manager: Okaji Toshihiko Message from the President It is time to release an annual sustainability report again. China is changing quickly; however, our attitude and way to employees of Fuji Xerox (Shenzhen) does not change. For all employees, we have been persisted in educating them not only from the social aspect but also from the occupational aspect. Differently with before, employment, income and economic development in China inland has improved a lot. Based on this, I think migrant workers in Shenzhen will be more instability, since the difference between Shenzhen and China inland is becoming smaller and smaller although Shenzhen is still the best city in employment compensation. Shenzhen itself is also transferring to a high-technology, service industry city, it will not welcome simple, no added value manufacture industry in the future, however, we all know that most revenue of Shenzhen just come from the manufacture industry right now. As a company in Shenzhen, we are trying to expand more middle-class by manufacturing HR rather than manufacturing goods. A manufacturer could not be a great manufacturer unless he realized to apply his knowledge and try his best to produce good things. I think the process is important for us and for our HR. We gained a lot from China's development; we also contributed to Chinese economic development. As well as enhancing the improvement on production, we hope to be a stage for every one and continuously provide development chance for everyone.

  • Uncertainty and Tourism Consumption Preferences: Evidence from the Representative Chinese City of Shenzhen
    sustainability Article Uncertainty and Tourism Consumption Preferences: Evidence from the Representative Chinese City of Shenzhen Xuemin Liu 1, Jiaoju Ge 2,* and Ting Ren 1 1 HSBC Business School, Peking University, Shenzhen 518055, China; [email protected] (X.L.); [email protected] (T.R.) 2 School of Economics and Management, Harbin Institute of Technology Shenzhen, Shenzhen 518055, China * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: As the fastest growing city in China, Shenzhen, a pioneer of reform and opening up, seems to have exhausted its advantages of geographical convenience, cheap land, and cheap labor; thus, the tourism industry has been adopted as a new economic strategy. However, the Shenzhen tourism market has received little attention from scholars and few studies have been done to investigate the relationships between uncertainty and tourism consumption preferences in different cultures. Therefore, this paper attempts to study Shenzhen as a travel destination to explore the consumption preferences of domestic and international tourists, specify uncertainties in tourism consumption activities, and examine their impacts on preferences. The above aims are achieved using a survey method and a new theoretically proposed preference uncertainty model inspired by combining the modified virtual expert preference approach and the ordered probit model (MVEP-OPM), in which three major components of tourism consumption (food, accommodation, and shopping) are estimated. (1) The results show that there are significant differences in tourism consumption preferences between domestic tourists and international visitors. (2) Inexperience, unfamiliarity, imperfect knowledge, Citation: Liu, X.; Ge, J.; Ren, T. and policy uncertainty are major uncertainties in tourism consumption activities, which affect tourist Uncertainty and Tourism preferences toward consumption behavior.

    XIAOQIONG WANG, IRENA KAŁUŻYŃSKA DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17651/ONOMAST.63.13 XIAOQIONG WANG Onomastica LXIII, 2019 Chongqing University of Technology, Chongqing, China PL ISSN 0078-4648 [email protected] IRENA KAŁUŻYŃSKA University of Warsaw, Warsaw, Poland [email protected] https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6043-5557 CONTEMPORARY BY-NAMES OF CHINESE PLACES Keywords: Chinese place names, Chinese by-names, structure of Chinese by-names, semantic fea- tures of Chinese by-names, honorific titles of places INTRODUCTION The Chinese earliest toponymic records found in oracle-bone inscriptions are about 3,000 years old (the late period of the Shang Dynasty) (Chen, 1965). How- ever, the “Shanhai Jing 山海经 [Mountains and Rivers]” and “Yugong 禹贡 [Tribute to Yu]” written about 2,500 years ago in the Warring States Period (480 B.C.–221 B.C.) mark the real start of Chinese toponymic exploration (Chen, 2012). After that, the research on the records and confirmation of original place names has been a constant. Many important geographical works have appeared in this time, like “Hanshu. Dili Zhi 汉书·地理志 [History of the Former Han Dynasty: Geographical Records]” and “Shuijing Zhu 水经注 [Notes on Water- ways]” by Li Daoyuan in the Northern Wei Dynasty (317–533). Over the next 2,500 years, along with the countless changes of Chinese dynasties, the tradi- tional research on Chinese place names continued with numerous achievements. The main toponomastic activities in recent years have been the compilation of toponymic dictionaries (Chen, 2012; Niu, 2016；Shi, 2017), toponymic regu- lation and standardization (Shi, 1994; Wang, 2015), the adoption of a uniform transcription of Chinese place names and the construction of GIS (Geographic Information System) (Wang, 2016).

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Conditions of the Hong Kong Section: Spatial History and Regulatory Environment of Vertically Integrated Developments A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture by Zheng Tan 2014 © Copyright by Zheng Tan 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Conditions of the Hong Kong Section: Spatial History and Regulatory Environment of Vertically Integrated Developments by Zheng Tan Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Dana Cuff, Chair This dissertation explores the urbanism of Hong Kong between 1967 and 1997, tracing the history of Hong Kong’s vertically integrated developments. It inquires into a Hong Kong myth: How can minimum state intervention gather social resources to build collective urban form? Roughly around the MacLehose Era, Hong Kong began to consciously assume a new vertical order in urban restructuring in order to address the issue of over-crowding and social unrest. British modernist planning provided rich approaches and visions which were borrowed by Hong Kong to achieve its own planning goals. The new town plan and infrastructural development ii transformed Hong Kong from a colonial city concentrated on the Victoria Harbor to a multi-nucleated metropolitan area. The implementation of the R+P development model around 1980 deepened the intermingling between urban infrastructure and superstructure and extended the vertical urbanity to large interior spaces: the shopping centers. Metro stations were fused with the basement of superstructure and formed into a continuous podium structure connecting the towers and the ground surface. Underlying this urban form is a planning system based on speculation, calculation and contracts.
