| Abstract: |
Objectives of the research: The main purpose of this thesis was to study the roles of government in business relations between Finland and Taiwan. The focus was on finding out how the lack of official diplomatic relations influences Finnish business operations in Taiwan. This thesis is conducted as a part of The Center of Markets in Transition (CEMAT) research on Taiwan.
Methodology:Qualitative research was conducted to collect empirical material for this thesis. Data for the thesis was collected through interviews and documentary analysis. Findings and conclusions: The findings of this study indicate that governments do play a role in business relations between Finland and Taiwan, although they do not determine them.
