Opis

Based on a case-study carried out in the southern city of Guangzhou in China, the book describes in compelling detail the dramatic changes occurring at a large state-owned enterprise as this socialist country undergoes market transition. It shows how these changes have led to the dismantling of the 'iron rice bowl', the transformation of the socialist work unit and the life of its members, and the creation of a new model of occupational welfare.
