Proceedings of the 2013 International Conference on Applied Social Science Research (ICASSR-2013)

We cordially invite you to attend the 2013 International Conference on Applied Social Science Research (ICASSR 2013), which will be held in Shanghai, China on June 20-21, 2013. The main objective of ICASSR 2013 is to provide a platform for researchers, engineers, academicians as well as industrial professionals from all over the world to present their research results and development activities in Management, Business, Education, Economy, Culture, Politics and Social Science. This conference provides opportunities for the delegates to exchange new ideas and experiences face to face, to establish business or research relations and to find global partners for future collaboration.

Since November 2012, the Organizing Committees have received more than 340 manuscript papers, and the papers cover all the aspects in Management, Business, Education, Economy, Culture, Politics and Social Science. Finally, after review, about 80 papers were included to the proceedings of ICASSR 2013. The conference is supported by many universities and research institutes, such as the London Metropolitan University, Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman, Far Eastern University-East Asia, King Abdulaziz University, and Gangneung-Wonju National University. Many professors of these universities and research institutes play an important role in the successful holding of the conference, so we would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude and highest respects to them. They have worked very hard in reviewing papers and making valuable suggestions for the authors to improve their work. We also would like to express our gratitude to the external reviewers, for providing extra help in the review process, and to the authors for contributing their research result to the conference. Special thanks go to our publisher Atlantis Press.

At the same time, we also express our sincere thanks for the understanding and support of every author. Owing to time constraints, imperfection is inevitable, and any constructive criticism is welcome.

We wish all attendees of ICASSR 2013 an enjoyable scientific gathering in Shanghai, China. We look forward to seeing all of you next year at the conference.

With our warmest regards,

The Conference Organizing Committees
