Market Share Competition in the Chinese Online Game Industry
MARKET SHARE COMPETITION IN THE CHINESE ONLINE GAME INDUSTRY QUN REN Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the Business School of Bournemouth University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2010 The Business School Bournemouth University COPYRIGHT STATEMENT This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with its author and due acknowledgement must always be made of the use of any material contained in, or derived from, this thesis. Abstract This study investigates the impacts of pricing innovations and other non-pricing dimensions on the market share competition of dominant Chinese online game companies. The empirical context of my research is the strategic behaviour of online game operators (i.e. the companies who operate online games) in the Chinese online game market – the most active market in the world with strong network effects. According to the literature review, previous pricing studies have focused mainly on the evaluation of traditional pricing theories and their limited validity for the information economy. Velu (2005) pointed out how dominant firms in a market with strong network effects adopt business innovations to sustain their market dominance. This study first investigates the validity of Velu‟s theory and then aims to develop and expand the theory of pricing practice by discussing how dominant companies integrate pricing and other non-pricing dimensions during market share competition. With the application of an analytical synthesis, this study covers large parts of the traditional economy and information economy literature by linking the concepts of „within‟ and „across‟ theories of pricing and competition. -

Title 中国における母語力テストの開発と現状 Author(s) 富, 麗; 孫, 成志 Citation 大阪大学世界言語研究センター論集. 7 P.239-P.254 Issue Date 2012-03-08 Text Version publisher URL http://hdl.handle.net/11094/4984 DOI rights Note Osaka University Knowledge Archive : OUKA https://ir.library.osaka-u.ac.jp/ Osaka University 大阪大学世界言語研究センター論集 第7号(2012 年) 中国における母語力テストの開発と現状 富 麗*1 孫 成志*2 FU Li SUN Chengzhi Abstract: Analysis on Current Status and Development of Native Language Test in Mainland China This paper introduces the development of Chinese mother tongue language test in mainland China for the past 20 years. It first makes comparisons among tests such as “National Putonghua Proficiency Test” “Professional Chinese Proficiency Test” and “Chinese Character Usage Ability Assessment and Testing”. On the basis of investigation of currents status, the authors conclude that there are three problems the tests are facing now. First, the current tests mainly focus on some specific aspects, fields or persons, and not comprehensive enough; second, much attention is paid to the development of the testing tools, the description and assessment to the language application ability are not profound enough; third, lack of overall and systematic deliberation to the whole evaluation system of mother tongue ability. These years, the demand for a national basic testing platform as a standard to the language ability evaluation and Chinese language tests is growing stronger as ever. With this background, the authors introduce the project “research on the standard and assessment system of national linguistic & orthographic ability” from the points of views of program design, research contents and method. This is one of the key projects of Chinese National Language Committee, in the Institute of Applied Linguistics Ministry of Education.
