The Career Benefits of an MBA for British and Taiwanese Women Managers: Adopting a Career-Capital Perspective
CRANFIELD UNIVERSITY AURORA S CHEN THE CAREER BENEFITS OF AN MBA FOR BRITISH AND TAIWANESE WOMEN MANAGERS: ADOPTING A CAREER-CAPITAL PERSPECTIVE SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT PhD THESIS CRANFIELD UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT PhD THESIS Academic Year 2008-2009 AURORA S CHEN The career benefits of an MBA for British and Taiwanese women managers: adopting a career-capital perspective Supervisor: Professor Susan Vinnicombe January 2009 Abstract This research aims to identify the career benefits which female graduates have acquired from taking an MBA programme in the UK and Taiwan. It builds on a stream of knowledge about male and female MBA graduates’ career competencies as a result of completing the MBA and adopts a career-capital perspective. The qualitative data emerging from the 36 interviews and the stratified sample of six business schools in the UK and Taiwan which make up the study offer a rich understanding of how women perceive their career benefits. It redresses the previous focus on quantitative data from a single sample and a concentration on objective career outcomes such as salary and promotions. The findings show that all female participants acquired career capital. Junior and middle managers (British women, aged between 30 and 34) focused on the acquisition of human and cultural capital and, in particular, on growth in confidence and salary as well as career advancement. Middle and senior managers (British and Taiwan women, aged between 35 and 40) concentrated more on the acquisition of social capital, in terms of networks, than the attainment of human and cultural capital. Senior managers (Taiwanese women, aged between 41 and 45) benefited from the acquisition of social capital in terms of networks with alumni, faculty, peers and friends. -

CAT, Air Asia, Air America – the Company on Taiwan II: Scheduled and Civilian Charter Flights by Dr
CAT, Air Asia, Air America – the Company on Taiwan II: Scheduled and Civilian Charter Flights by Dr. Joe F. Leeker First published on 4 March 2013, last updated on 24 August 2015 I) Civil Air Transport, Taipei: scheduled flights Scheduled flights during the Korean War: (CAT Bulletin, vol. IV, no.8, September 1951, p.25) 1 As the advertising above suggests, during the build-up of the fleet for Booklift, CAT did not open new scheduled flights. And for the scheduled flights it already operated – the Round- the-island service and the routes to Hong Kong and Tokyo –, the Company needed 1 C-47 and 2 C-46s. That is how CAT’s Director of Operations Joe Rosbert calculated on 3 October 1950.1 The Tokyo-Singapore flight was made by a POAS DC-4 all the time, so does not appear in these calculations. Two weeks later, on 16 October 50, CAT C-47 XT-801 was non- operable, i.e. out for maintenance, so that 2 C-46s had to do all commercial flying; but it was hoped that for the first part of November 50, 1 C-47 could be sent to Indochina.2 After Whiting Willauer had to cancel all C-47 operations on 17 October 50, because pilot Dudding had violated several safety regulations all of which had been reported to FEAF,3 this plan had to be postponed, and on 31 October 50, we have again only 2 C-46s assigned to CAT’s commercial operations with the same situation projected for mid-November.4 On 20 November 50, we have 1 C-46 and 1 CAT-owned C-47 assigned to commercial flights, and the same aircraft are projected for the first part of December 50.5 On 2 December 50, we have again 1 C-46 and 1 C-47 assigned to CAT’s commercial flights, and the same is also projected for the middle of December.6 On 18 December 50, we have again 2 aircraft assigned to commercial operation, probably again 1 C-46 and 1 C-47, and the same was projected for the end of December.7 CAT C-46s in 1951 (UTD/Hickler, photo no. -

While several tombs of once important historical actors may have been preserved or obliterated simply by chance, others are treated on purpose by the state, either preserved as “heritage”
