About this book

This book reports on foreign investments in transitional economies and the corporate governance of international strategic alliances in China. It throws new light on the relationship between ownership, corporate governance, international technology transfer, organizational learning and the performance of such alliances. The book reviews the problems encountered by these international strategic alliances, provides significant empirical evidence of foreign investment decisions and profiles corporate governance and organizational learning in strategic alliances. Based on research into 1000 firms in China, it draws important conclusions for theory and practice.

Reviews

'Dr Yan's book offers a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the key issues concerning the governance of the investments made by foreign companies in China. Its subject could not be more important because China is now the world's largest recipient of foreign direct investment and of major strategic significance for a large number of companies. Dr. Yan's book draws upon a decade of firsthand research and experience,. and combines this impressive knowledge base with a high level of readability.' - Professor John Child, Chair of Commerce, University of Birmingham, UK
