An in-depth examination of the regulatory, entrepreneurial, and
organizational factors contributing to the expansion and
transformation of China's supplemental education industry. Like
many parents in the United States, parents in China, increasingly
concerned with their children's academic performance, are turning
to for-profit tutoring businesses to help their children get ahead
in school. China's supplemental education industry is now the
world's largest and most vibrant for-profit education market, and
we can see its influence on the US higher education system: more
than 70% of Chinese students studying in American universities have
taken test preparation classes for overseas standardized tests. The
Fruits of Opportunism offers a much-needed thorough investigation
into this industry. This book examines how opportunistic
organizations thrived in an ambiguous policy environment and how
they catalyzed organizational and institutional changes in this
industry. A former insider in China's Education Industry,
sociologist Le Lin shows how and why this industry evolved to
become a for-profit one dominated by private, formal, nationally
operating, and globally financed corporations, despite restrictions
the Chinese state placed on the industry. Looking closely at the
opportunistic organizations that were founded by marginal
entrepreneurs and quickly came to dominate the market, Lin finds
that as their non-compliant practices spread across the industry,
these opportunistic organizations pushed privatization and
marketization from below. The case of China's Education Industry
laid out in The Fruits of Opportunism illustrates that while
opportunism leaves destruction in its wake, it can also drive the
formation and evolution of a market.
