About this book

Chinese business firms and their networks of personal and business relationships, are becoming increasingly important players in the global economy. This book examines the global and regional operations of Chinese business firms and considers their implications for the management and organisation of these firms, aided by specific case studies. Written by leading researchers in this field, The Globalisation of Chinese Business Firms is a valuable and timely contribution to the study of Asian business systems.

Reviews

'...a book on the operation of overseas Chinese business firms is long overdue and this collection goes some way along the road of identifying the distinctive feature that lie behind the success of overseas Chinese business enterprises...The collection is a welcome and extremely useful contribution to an important new research area in economic geography - that of the identification and conceptualisation of cultural, historical and organisational differences in the ways in which capitalism operates in different parts of the world [Crouch and Streeck, 1997: 1-17].' - John R. Bryson, The University of Birmingham, The Service Industries Journal
