Sino-African relations have evoked a great deal of geo-strategic
interest in recent years. Most attention has focused on China’s
assistance to and growing involvement in the economic development
of several African nations. Far less emphasis has been placed on
Africans in China, and on African actors’ involvement in the
Chinese economy, despite the importance of both to genuinely
bilateral economic relations. This is one of the first studies to
focus on South African foreign direct investment (FDI) in Mainland
China. The research aims to identify and specify the key
institutional factors that have contributed to the effectiveness or
otherwise of South African firms entering and operating within the
Chinese market. The research also investigates the characteristics
and processes that have effectively shaped South African firms’
business strategies to negotiate the current Chinese institutional
environment. The study’s primary empirical contribution is ten
real-life case studies drawn from a cross-section of South African
business actors who have sought to penetrate the Chinese market.
These case studies are interrogated conceptually by means of a
three-dimensional institutional model which explores the role of
formal and informal business processes and practices in influencing
business success and failure in the Sino-South African context. It
will be of value to researchers, academics, policymakers,
Sino-African business practitioners, and advanced students in the
fields of international business, political economy, strategy, and
Asian and African studies.
