Analysis on the Sustainable Development of Gong Cha
Asian Business Research; Vol. 4, No. 3, 2019 ISSN 2424-8479 E-ISSN 2424-8983 Published by July Press Analysis on the Sustainable Development of Gong Cha Anqi Zhang1 1 Monash University, Mel, VIC, Australia Correspondence: Anqi Zhang, Monash University, Mel, VIC, Australia. Tel: 61-41-599-1670. Received: October 29, 2019 Accepted: November 14, 2019 Online Published: December 14, 2019 doi:10.20849/abr.v4i3.684 URL: https://doi.org/10.20849/abr.v4i3.684 Abstract We selected Gong Cha Monash branch as the research object, conducted a research focusing on four topics which is Food supply chain, Packaging, Procurement and Transport/distribution, and obtained data through on-site interview, email consultation and questionnaire survey. There are some findings after analysing the collected data. Firstly, the main finding of food supply chain is that Gong Cha used Franchising system; all of the quality of materials can be controlled by head office. Although tribute tea has very little food waste, they waste a lot of water resources. Secondly, the main finding of packaging is that Gong Cha uses about 800 disposable plastic cups and straws in PE and LL materials a day, and about 20% customers choose to use another plastic carry bag to carry the drinking. All these raw materials in Gong Cha are transports in cartons, foam paper, and plastic bags and only the cartons are recycled. Thirdly, the main finding of procurement is that there is a storehouse nearby Monash’s sub-branch to provide relevant materials once per week or the employees can go to the storehouse to acquire materials everyday if they need.

The Bond Between Boba and Asian American Youth in San José, Califor
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles “Wanna Get Boba?”: The Bond Between Boba and Asian American Youth in San José, California A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Asian American Studies by Talitha Angelica Acaylar Trazo 2020 © Copyright by Talitha Angelica Acaylar Trazo 2020 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS “Wanna Get Boba?”: The Bond Between Boba and Asian American Youth in San José, California by Talitha Angelica Acaylar Trazo Master of Arts in Asian American Studies University of California, Los Angeles 2020 Professor Victor Bascara, Chair The tenth largest city in the United States with a population of over 1 million, San José, California resides on the southernmost edge of the Silicon Valley. Though high-tech narratives often subsume this region, a closer examination of San José’s (sub)urban landscape reveals the presence of over 100 boba shops and their multiethnic community of local patrons. Boba, a milk tea beverage which originated in Taiwan in the 1980s, made its U.S. debut in the late 1990s when Taiwanese American entrepreneurs aimed to emulate Taiwan’s unique boba shop experience in their American hometowns. Over the past 20 years, boba within the United States has morphed into a distinctly Asian American cultural phenomenon, which I argue makes boba a unique lens by which to examine Asian American youth culture. For this ethnographic study, I conducted and analyzed 17 interviews and 156 survey responses from Bay Area-based young adults (between the ages of 18 and 40) with varying degrees of familiarity with San José boba ii shops: from the occasional boba drinker to what some may call the “boba addict.” I opened the survey to all racial groups but focused my data analysis on those who self-identified as Asian American.
