The essay attempted to identify the issues by observing new trends and regulatory obstacles brought by the new innovations in networking technology found in the Taiwanese MLM industry, especially focusing on the impact brought by international sponsorship programs and regimes. The study also provided a comparative analysis regarding the practices and procedures of international governmental authorities and regulators who enforced MLM related laws and statutes, with the goal of proposing possible solutions to dealing with such legal challenges in order to create a more effective regulatory system to promote the future growth of the MLM industry.
On 24 August 2017, the “International Academic Convention on Direct Selling and Cross-Strait Academic Symposium on Direct Selling” concluded at Tsinghua. The event was co-hosted by the Chinese Academy of Direct Selling Management, the Direct Selling Research Study Group of China Society for World Trade Organization Studies (CWTO), and the Global Direct Selling Research Institute.
