“…Second, the comparative advantage for cross-strait manufacturing firms has also been evolving. As Leng (2017) argued, in the earlier stages of cross-strait economic relations, Taiwanese manufacturing firms relied on their unique position in the global supply chain. They benefited from the expansion of China’s manufacturing capacities.…”

“…However, things have gradually changed. Driven by enlarging domestic markets and massive and various government supports, based on a 2014 report from Barclays Capital, Leng (2017) concluded that Chinese manufacturing companies are moving up the supply chain and becoming internationally competitive component makers for top-tier brands. The rise of Chinese manufacturing firms could be a disruptive force for some Taiwanese second-tier players that lack differentiating technology, scale or relations with Chinese domestic brands.…”

The cross-strait relations between Taiwan and China are critical in the Asia Pacific and the world. This study focuses on economic relations and their implications. The main conclusions include: First, the economic gap in output is increasingly larger, thus favouring China. Based on a time series robust least squares model, this study finds that this economic strength will significantly reduce the number of Taiwan’s foreign allies. At the same time, this economic strength also brings military imbalance. Second, by employing the Granger causality tests to examine the causality relations between the stock markets of Taiwan and China, which reflect the economic integrations in areas such as the trade of goods and services and capital flow, this study finds that China is in a dominant position. At the same time, Taiwan is in a dominated position. However, except for tourism, the effects of China’s dominant position as leverage seem limited.

“…It is thought that women's features such as emotional, passive and collaborative are an obstacle to upper stages. In the second stage of the literature research, the aspects of the IT sector, related to this subject were examined and important conclusions reached are as follows (Ferencikova & Hluskova, 2015;Golden-Sanchez, 2012;Leng, 2017;Panibratov & Latukha, 2014;Peterson, 2005):…”

Glass ceiling syndrome is a sex-based obstacle that female employees encounter while they advance in their career. This syndrome should not be perceived only as an obstacle in the path of hierarchical progression. Glass ceiling syndrome can also manifest itself in the attitudes that may lead to income inequality and negative effects on prestige. The glass ceiling syndrome can result from the individual circumstances of women as well as from the perceptions and attitudes which are raised by some social dynamics within the organizational structure. Moreover, special roles for women and men in some occupational groups are one of the social factors which include glass ceiling syndrome. In this context, Information Technologies (IT) sector should also be investigated. In this study, the following questions are clarified: "Is the IT sector a male-oriented sector? Which factors cause glass ceiling that women in the IT sector may face? How can the real value of female employees be measured for the IT sector?''. In this context, the opinions of full-time and part-time employees in the information sectors and of the academics from the Department of Management Information Systems, training personnel for the IT sector, will be asked. To achieve this, both the questionnaire and semi-structured interviews were conducted. As a result, it was seen that there is a prejudice against the female employees in the IT sector. Especially, it was suggested by men that female employees will struggle in the IT sector, whereas women claimed that they are successful enough. Male and female academics have different opinions about the failure of female students and male academics attribute this failure to gender factor. Male experts in IT sectors are less prejudiced against women than male academics. The findings of the study will also be significant contribution to the research questions in future studies in this field.
