Opis

This book argues that China's businesses face a huge crisis because there is a considerable shortage of competent business leaders in China, at a time when leadership skills are required urgently, as China's businesses evolve and engage ever more with the global economy. The book outlines the nature and extent of the problem, but argues that a new breed of manager is emerging, emphasising more flexibility, engagement with workers and competence in the market economy. The book evaluates different management approaches in China and sets out how self-development is widespread and important.

Recenzje

"This is a well-written monograph on the problems of business leadership in China and the so-called ‘leadership gap’, covering training and development, as well as self-development. It is clearly written and very much to the point."
Malcolm Warner, University of Cambridge,
