The Future of Chinese Management
This edited collection looks at the ongoing state of management reforms in the People's Republic of China, how these have come about, why they have taken place and where they are leading. It analyses recent developments in the context of the changing Chinese economy, notwithstanding entry in the World Trade Organization and the deepening of its economic and managerial reforms. The contributors, all international business specialists in their fields, examine a wide range of business, economic and managerial topics including decision making in Sino-foreign JVs, entry into the WTO, human resource management, supervisory boards and third country national expatriates. The resulting discussions will be of great interest to both academics and professionals in the areas of Chinese business and management.

The Economics of Transition
In the last three decades since the fall of the Berlin Wall, there has been a vast amount of study looking at transforming the planned economy to a market economy from both theoretical and empirical aspects. This book provides an overview and insight into transition economies in the recent decades and looks at key economics topics from the so-called “transition strategy debate” to environmental reform. The book also includes an analytical review and meta-analysis of the existing literature. By integrating theoretical discussions and synthesizing empirical findings in a systematic manner, this book may help to enlighten the debate on the timing, speed, and policy sequence of economic transition. The book will particularly appeal to researchers, policy makers, other practitioners, and under- and post-graduate students who are interested in transition economies in Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, Southeast Asia, and China. It aims to be read as an advanced reader.
Management across Cultures
Management practices and processes frequently differ across national and regional boundaries. What may be acceptable managerial behaviour in one culture may be counterproductive or even unacceptable in another. As managers increasingly find themselves working across cultures, the need to understand these differences has become increasingly important. This book examines why these differences exist and how global managers can develop strategies and tactics to deal with them. The text draws on recent research in anthropology, psychology, and management, to explain the cultural and psychological underpinnings that shape managerial attitudes and behaviours, whilst introducing a learning model to guide in the intellectual and practical development of managers seeking enhanced global expertise. It offers user-friendly conceptual models to guide understanding and exploration of topics and summarizes and integrates the lessons learned in each chapter in applications-oriented 'Manager's Notebooks'. A companion website featuring comprehensive chapter-by-chapter PPT slides is available at www.cambridge.org/management_across_cultures.

Constructing R&D Collaboration
The strong interest in crossing barriers and building upon dispersed resources and different competencies, combined with the expected high costs of doing so, has been the ground for justifying various governmental subsidies. In Europe, there is a certain prevalence of programs to promote and subsidize collaborative ventures. EUREKA is one such European framework for collaboration on R&D. This book presents projects in which Danish or Finnish partners collaborate with their foreign counterparts. The reports show that many projects are able to succeed due to a loose formal structure and strong social structure facilitating a constant reconstruction of the project organization and management.
