A Survey on Strategies and Identity Construction of Coaches in the Voice of China

In the past decade, talent shows have gone viral in China. In talent shows, the interaction between the coaches and the contestants is a major attraction for audiences. The coach’s speaking style and pragmatic skills reflect their strategies for recruiting contestants and have influences on identity construction. Based on the Politeness Principle (PP), this study analyzes the utterances of coaches in the recruitment part of The Voice of China season 10. With the help of qualitative analysis software NVivo, researchers try to code the utterances to which PP is applied. Based on the results of the research, this study put forward four recruitment strategies, including Complimentary Strategy, Beneficial Strategy, Emotion Strategy and Modesty Strategy. Moreover, four identities can be constructed based on these strategies, including Amiable Identity, Rational Identity, Perceptual Identity and Modest Identity. This study provides insights into the identity construction of members within an organization from a discourse analysis perspective, especially in the context of talent recruitment and trainee management

The More, The Better? A Case History Of Audit Committee Regulations

An understanding of changing auditing regulatory environment is vital in preparing students for the challenges in the accounting profession. The revised requirements for audit committees are one of the significant changes after the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Presenting a case history of regulatory changes for audit committees, this study requires students to critically analyze information and to conduct research on auditing topics. Meanwhile, integrating further discussion on corporate governance into auditing class can enrich students learning experience by stimulating critical thinking

Polymer Dielectric in Organic Field‐Effect Transistor

In this chapter, we aim to present an overview of the polymer dielectrics in organic field‐effect transistors and their applications. In the first section, we give a short introduction of polymer dielectrics in organic field‐effect transistors. We illustrate multilayer, hybrid, and cross‐linked polymer dielectrics adopted in organic field‐effect transistors. Then we introduce the available biomaterials engaged as polymer dielectrics in organic field‐effect transistors. We mainly focus on the utilization of silk fibroin, DNA, and DNA base pair dielectrics. We end the chapter by presenting the applications of polymer dielectrics. We elaborate that the polymer dielectrics can function as the electrode buffer layer, as well as the organic field‐effect transistor‐based gas sensor, inverter, and memory
