The issue about whether Taiwan should be independent has been discussed for more than six decades. My chief purpose, here, is to figure out whether the businessmen would change their attitudes or business strategies toward each other once the political relationship changes (i.e., in this research, Taiwan becomes independent).

There are several reasons for me to be interested in doing this research. First, the selected topic is an important and historical issue for all the Chinese in the region and I am one of them. Second, this political issue has vital impacts on the regional economics. Third, I am interested in Corporate Communication in various cultures.

There is almost no literature on this specific study. And I am a kind of green hand. Any subtle pitfalls might appear in the whole research without notice. Also, since I am inexperienced, both the interview and content analysis were not comprehensive. In addition, the research interview was holding during the managers’ lunch break, an informal and rush time. The participants were distracted a lot during the group interview. They didn’t really pay attention to the group unless it was their self-sharing time.

I would like to expand this minis study and make it as my thesis paper. Good suggestions from lovely colleagues last night. Wondering whether I should do both Quantitative and Qualitative for my thesis though. No idea yet. Please help me a bit. Thanks!
