Content:
China has become one of the fastest-growing economies ever seen in the world in recent times. In the last three decades China has transformed itself from a command economy to a market one, albeit 'with socialist characteristics', and its management systems have been reformed accordingly. In the light of these changes, Malcolm Warner, one of the leading authorities on management in China, explores the past, present and future of Chinese management
