About this title

Review:

'This book will be valuable to foreign investors ... the quality of the commentary within the chapters and especially the final exploratory chapter set it well above most works on management in China.' China Quarterly

' ... adds an important piece to the jigsaw of our understanding of management in China and is a significant contribution to the literature.' Journal of Management Studies

'Professor Child has produced a pioneering study in a setting where managerial issues remain politically sensitive. It is necessary reading for those manufacturers and investors targeting China's burgeoning domestic markets.' Asian Affairs

Book Description:

China has already become the world's second largest economic power and it currently presents enormous business opportunities. Yet there is still a dearth of information in the West about how Chinese firms are run.
