Dr. Lisa Rofel and Dr. Sylvia Yanogisako will collaborate on a study of the textile and garment manufacturing industry in China's Lower Yangze River Region, in the cities of Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Jiaxing and their surrounding townships and villages, where Italian firms have recently invested in the textile and garment manufacturing industry. The study will investigate the three types of already-existing collaborations between Chinese and Italians in the textile industry, and a fourth type that is likely to emerge: 1)Joint Venture with Active Management Collaboration, 2) Joint Venture with Division of Management Labor, 3) Wholly Chinese-owned Enterprise with Italian Subcontracting; 4) Wholly Italian-owned Firms in China. The researchers have two primary research questions. The first is, what new ideas and practices of management, entrepreneurship, work, and social relations are being forged by Italians and Chinese involved in joint ventures in China and are these ideas and practicies converging? The second is whether or not the Italian and Chinese entrepreneurs, managers and consultants form a transnational social class? This researchers will study two enterprises from each of the four types, interviewing consultants, experts and representatives of government and supranational agencies in China. Yanagisako and Rofel also will travel to Italy to interview the owners and managers of firms involved in collaborative enterprises in China at their headquarters and to observe the Chinese managers and entrepreneurs who travel to Italy. They will do extended ethnographic and life history interviews, supplemented by extended periods of participant observation at appropriate sites in China and Italy. This study will expand the scope of anthropology's contribution to understanding transnationalism and international business cultures by formulating a methodology for attaining a multi-perspectival ethnography. Its broader impact will be to contribute to broad public debates about globalization and to publish an ethnographic monograph accessible to a wide range of undergraduate and graduate students.

丽莎博士和西尔维亚·亚诺吉萨科博士将合作研究中国长江下游地区的纺织和服装制造业，在上海，杭州和嘉兴及其周边乡镇和村庄，意大利公司最近投资了纺织和服装制造业。 本研究将调查中国和意大利在纺织业中已经存在的三种合作类型，以及可能出现的第四种合作类型：1）具有积极管理合作的合资企业，2）具有管理劳动分工的合资企业，3）具有意大利分包的中国独资企业，4）在中国的意大利独资企业。研究人员有两个主要的研究问题。第一个问题是，在中国合资的意大利人和中国人在管理、企业家精神、工作和社会关系方面正在形成什么新的思想和做法，这些思想和做法是否相互融合？ 第二，意大利和中国的企业家、经理人和顾问是否形成了一个跨国社会阶层？本研究将分别从四种类型中选取两个企业进行研究，并采访中国政府和超国家机构的顾问、专家和代表。 柳迫和罗菲尔还将前往意大利，在中国总部采访参与合作企业的企业主和经理，并观察前往意大利的中国经理和企业家。 他们将进行长时间的人种学和生活史访谈，并在中国和意大利的适当地点进行长时间的参与观察。这项研究将扩大人类学对理解的贡献范围 跨国主义和国际商业文化，通过制定一种方法，实现多视角的民族志。 其更广泛的影响将是促进关于全球化的广泛公共辩论，并出版一本人种学专著，供广大本科生和研究生阅读。
