Book Description
This book, first published in 1996, examines the problems associated with the management of change, particularly those brought about by the rapid pace of economic development in China in the ‘reform’ period since 1979. China’s managers were challenged as never before as the country integrated itself into the world economy, introduced new technology, and decentralized control over its industries. This book discusses their successes and failures in chapters by specialists in Chinese management practice.

Book Description
As the 1990s progressed, China began to emerge as an economic giant. The chapters in this book, first published in 1996, illustrate many aspects of China’s path to internationalization. They also raise important questions for further study. What becomes clear is that to succeed in China’s business environment, foreign business strategists need to become better informed of the type of challenges that China presents.

Book Description
"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 Description
Chinese water resource managers face a challenge that is both immense and unique. They must balance limited water supplies against the needs of the world’s largest population; demands for rapid economic growth with calls for improved environmental management; and the desire for a market-based approach to the allocation of water with a history of State ownership and strict government control of all resources. In China, changes are occurring in water resources management that are representative of many of the fundamental changes occurring within Chinese society, on issues such as property rights, community participation, improved environmental management, and the shift towards market-based decision making. This book describes the development of a water rights system in the People’s Republic of China. It covers different aspects of water resources management in China – including water planning, the provision of environmental flows, urban water management, and irrigation district management – and examines how these are being addressed through a rights-based approach. The book includes several detailed examples of the Chinese application of water rights as they address the diverse challenges of different basins across China. This book previously appeared as a special issue of the International Journal of Water Resources Development.

Book Description
With China's eminent entry into the World Trade Organization, past speculations of China becoming a world economic power in the 21st century is a reality with which few would disagree. We are witnessing the awakening of many sleepy giants, such as the successful reformed state-owned as well as township and village enterprises. We are also witnessing the birth and growth of a significant private sector, along with ever-increasing foreign investments. In this development process, there is a critical need to document and theorize about the management process by firms in this changing and dynamic context. The Management of Enterprises in the People's Republic of China aims to contribute to the knowledge base of management within the Chinese context. The book begins with a mapping of research on management in PRC, and offers theoretical insights for cross-context, institutional, and behavioral studies. It then reports the results of fourteen empirical studies of management issues in the PRC firms. The issues studied include SOE transformation, globalization, governance, employment relationships, managerial networks, corporate culture and leadership. Also included are studies on the knowledge management process and management team characteristics of high technology firms. The methods of study include large-scale surveys, case studies, and interviews. The contributors are international experts in Chinese management research. Finally, we offer executive perspectives on several successful firms operating in China through interviews with their CEOs.
