Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The rapid pace of economic development in china in the 'reform' period since 1979 has brought with it a host of new problems associated with the management of change. As China simultaneously integrates itself into the world economy for the first time, introduces technology which is often a quantum leap from that which it replaces, and decentralizes control over its industries, with the possibility in prospect of the ultimate dismantling of socialism, China's managers are challenged as never before. This book discusses their successes and failures." "The editors have brought together contributions from more than a dozen specialists in Chinese management practice. Initially, the reform process is introduced, compared with that of the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, and the nature of the new enterprise culture is discussed. A section on decision making follows, looking at the impact of decentralization, the role of politics and culture, and similarities in practice between Chinese and Western approaches. Some of the challenges facing Chinese enterprises are then examined, especially the evolution of township enterprises and the organization of production and research. Finally, the management and development of people is considered, the human resource in China's modernization, along with the current provision for management education."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book excerpt: For foreign business to succeed in China, it needs to be better informed of the challenges that China is faced with today. China was a centrally planned economy with very little international ties only three decades ago.

China is making up for lost time with unequalled energy and determination. Contributors in this book address a wide range of business issues through their research and present a glimpse on the complexity of doing business in China today. The book consists of four sections: the business environment; management issues; sales and marketing; international business.
