Lately I've been searching for the information about evolutionary divergence between China and Taiwan. Due to the current statistic findings of my research－Conflict management through Computer-mediated Communication (CMC) in the work collaboration, the findings of media-switching request suggested significant difference in e-mail, audio and video use. In addition to psychic distance and relationship experience/quality, evolutionary divergence between different economic histories caused the media use difference, which is related to the traditional quan-xi building and western interaction.

I consulted with several friends who are Chinese mainlander employed in foreign-invested enterprise and Taiwanese working in China as a foreign-invested enterprise regarding the computer-mediated communication difference in media-switching for conflict management. A logical explanation of my current statistic findings for the media-switching request would be the past economic history difference: Capitalisation and Privatisation process. The statistic findings show some interesting result that under the same Chinese culture, the media adoption would be due to the difference of traditional quan-xi building and modern western interaction. Apart from the geographic and relational boundary (culture, language, time-zone and territoriality difference), I didn't expect that evolutionary divergence could be an influential reason to make sense of the CMC utilisation difference.

I really appreciate Wei Lin in Dell corp. to be interviewed with me and provided me so much valuable information and knowledge about the evolutionary divergence between China and Taiwan. Of course, there are many important helpers regarding my research that I would like to appreciate. This kind of appreciation would be individually elaborated according to the findings of qualitative data analysis afterwards.
