Coble examines the devastating impact of Japan's invasion and occupation of the lower Yangzi on China's emerging modern business community. Arguing that the war gravely weakened Chinese capitalists, Coble demonstrates that in occupied areas the activities of businessmen were closer to collaboration than to heroic resistance. He shows how the war left an important imprint on the structure and culture of Chinese business enterprise by encouraging those traits that had allowed it to survive in uncertain and dangerous times.Although historical memory emphasizes the entrepreneurs who followed the Nationalists armies to the interior, most Chinese businessmen remained in the lower Yangzi area. If they wished to retain any ownership of their enterprises, they were forced to collaborate with the Japanese and the Wang Jingwei regime in Nanjing. Characteristics of business in the decades prior to the war, including a preference for family firms and reluctance to become public corporations, distrust of government, opaqueness of business practices, and reliance of personal connections (guanxi) were critical to the survival of enterprises during the war and were reinforced by the war experience. Through consideration of the broader implications of the many responses to this complex era, Chinese Capitalists in Japan's New Order makes a substantial contribution to larger discussions of the dynamics of World War II and of Chinese business culture.Sino-Japanese War, 1937-1945Economic aspectsChinaShanghaiShanghai (China)Economic conditionsShanghai (China)Politics and governmentChinaForeign relationsJapanJapanForeign relationsChinabattle of shanghai.beijing.business culture.business.capitalism.central china.changzhou.china.chinese businessmen.chinese corporations.chinese history.collaboration.colonialism.confucian capitalism.corporate culture.corporation.empire.entrepreneur.family business.government regulation.guanxi.historical memory.invasion.japan.japanese imperialism.military.nanjing.nationalist army.nonfiction.occupation.rebellion.regime.resistance.wang jingwei.war.world war two.ww2.yangzi.Sino-Japanese War, 1937-1945Economic aspects330.951/132042Coble Parks M.1946-1548285MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780246903321Chinese capitalists in Japan's new order3805200UNINA05669nam 22007694a 450 99621713700331620230829005022.01-280-51053-697866105105351-84704-451-40-470-61207-X0-470-39440-41-84704-551-0(CKB)1000000000335570(EBL)700719(SSID)ssj0000252593(PQKBManifestationID)11244229(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000252593(PQKBWorkID)10181096(PQKB)10358554(MiAaPQ)EBC700719(MiAaPQ)EBC261388(Au-PeEL)EBL261388(CaONFJC)MIL51053(OCoLC)501312931(EXLCZ)99100000000033557020051121d2006 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrStructural health monitoring[electronic resource] /edited by Daniel Balageas, Claus-Peter Fritzen and Alfredo GüemesLondon ;Newport Beach, CA ISTE20061 online resource (497 p.)ISTE ;v.90Description based upon print version of record.1-905209-01-0 Includes bibliographical references and index.Structural Health Monitoring; Table of Contents; Foreword; Chapter 1.

I-40 bridgeThis book is organized around the various sensing techniques used to achieve structural health monitoring. Its main focus is on sensors, signal and data reduction methods and inverse techniques, which enable the identification of the physical parameters, affected by the presence of the damage, on which a diagnostic is established. Structural Health Monitoring is not oriented by the type of applications or linked to special classes of problems, but rather presents broader families of techniques: vibration and modal analysis; optical fibre sensing; acousto-ultrasonics, using piezoelectrISTEStructural health monitoringStructural analysis (Engineering)Automatic data collection systemsDetectorsStructural health monitoring.Structural analysis (Engineering)Automatic data collection systems.Detectors.624.1/71624.17Balageas Daniel149376Fritzen Claus-Peter953146Güemes Alfredo953147MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996217137003316Structural health monitoring2154805UNISA
