　　　　　Since its economic reform and opening policy in the 1980s, Mainland China has been attracting much foreign capital from all over the world. The city of Shanghai and Southern Jiangsu Province (蘇南 )in the triangle sand bar of Yang-tze River are the two most important developing regions. This research focuses on the following issues:First, what have the Jiangsu (江蘇 )authorities done to invite foreign capital in order to develop their economy ﹖ What are their policies and programs ﹖ Second, what investment and management patterns have the Taiwanese businessmen adopted in response to the policies ﹖ This project tries to answer the above questions and aims at offering theoretical and practical insights to the business circle, the governments and the academics by initially investigating the points of view of local businessmen, officials, and scholars in the Mainland. This research is designed as a tow-year project. The first year research centers on the socio-economic foundation of Southern Jiangsu and the business development strategy of Jiangsu authorities. Its second year component will focus on the fieldwork of the industrial district specifically designed for Taiwanese businessmen in Wu Chiang City (吳江 ), to collect first-hand data. To make this research project more effective and easier to manage, it was conducted jointly by the Department of Sociology of Soochow University in Taiwan and the School of Social Studies of Suzhou University in Mainland China.
