Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of this study is to try to confirm the significance of cultural factors in development models in China. It means that, with focusing our attention upon the Yangtze delta area, the differences between development models of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, the differences between Yiwu and Wenzhou models, both of which are in Zhejiang province, also the differences between Poland and Hungary in Central Europe, the significance of cultural factors of the above mentioned areas (and countries) are investigated. The results of those studies show that we could confirm the significant differences of cultural factors among the development models of areas and countries mentioned above, because each area and country has its own cultural factors shown such as the differences of optimistic and pessimistic views.
