Moreover, the pressures are spreading over movement of products and capital. In this article we apply a term “Spreading Trade Protection (STP)” to the situation under which the governments concerned take the advantage of inconsistency between national interests and economic interests to prevent foreign enterprises from entering the domestic markets. In fact, as an irrational block to free trade and free capital mobility, STP has fortified the imbalance of interest allocation between groups with advantages in factor endowment or in industrial transfer. The authors compare the features and implications between traditional trade protection and STP, identifying the protection range of STP beyond the traditional ones. To explore the underlying motives of various interest groups abroad to adopt STP over China’s overseas M&A, the authors probe into the mechanism of STP, infer the major courses of STP in terms of China’s overseas M&A. In addition, the authors go further to investigate the impacts of STP on China’s overseas M&A and figure out the countermeasures in the financial crisis.

To capture the inheritable experience and knowledge about the process planning from the data, the association rule is applied to discovery the typical operation sequence (TOS). An association rule model mining the TOS was built. In the model, a process route was a transaction, and an operation was an item. Therefore, the operation sequence was the subset of items and transactions. Each TOS was regarded as a rule. Based on the model, an improved Apriori algorithm was presented to mine the TOS. The algorithm includes six steps: 1) generating frequent operation set; 2) the join step: generating the frequent operation sequence candidate set; 3) the prune step: reducing operation sequence in the frequent operation sequence candidate set; 4) calculating the support of every operation sequence; 5) generating frequent operation sequence set; 6) terminating the algorithm and obtaining the TOS. Finally, an example mining the TOS was analyzed. The analysis result explains that the algorithm is effectively applied to discovering the TOS.","PeriodicalId":267621,"journal":{"name":"2009 International Conference on Management and Service Science","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123753346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
