China has become one of the fastest-growing economies ever seen in
the world in recent times. In the last three decades, China has
transformed itself from a command economy to a market one, albeit a
nominally socialist one, and its management systems have been
reformed accordingly. In the light of these changes, Malcolm
Warner, one of the leading authorities on management in China,
explores the past, present and future of Chinese management. The
first part of the work examines the history of management practices
in the 'Middle Kingdom', outlining the influence of traditional
Chinese values, especially the Confucian inheritance, and the
legacy of the imperial bureaucracy with its meritocratic
examination system, as well as the role of industrialization and
the influx of foreign-owned businesses in the late nineteenth
century and the twentieth century. It next goes on to consider the
current state of China's management, showing how a new breed of
manager has evolved since the beginning of Deng Xiaoping's reforms
in the late 1970s and 1980s. The resulting impact of this strategy
which has continued into the 1990s and the 2000s, up to the present
day, is then examined. The final part of the book concludes with
reflections on how management in China is likely to develop in the
near future, especially on how far it will converge with global
practices or to what degree an indigenous form of management 'with
Chinese characteristics' will prevail.
