Jan 21, 2010 Journal 2

Before today's class, I did some brief reading of chapter1,2&3, which mainly talked about what we did in the class--coming up with a topic and doing some research.
In our group, we first did some brainstorming on our own, followed by a discussion. A bunch of ideas came up. My topic idea is about Internet corporations. I saw the news in WSJ that Google is planning to pull out of its Chinese market. Then a question that has been discussed a lot came to me: the similar situation has happened to not only google, but many other internet corporations, such as ebay, MSN, and so on. Why so many Internet corporations achieve world-wide success except in China? I think there are many reasons for it, including advertising strategies, self-positioning and lots of stuff. That is what I am going to do further research about.

  2. I found an article that say Google is accusing China of cyber attacks and censorship: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8462889.stm

    You should be able to find books on Google in the library (I've read several of them this past year for one of my own class projects).
