This book is the first piece of extensive research in studying
employment relations in ethnic Chinese small businesses in Britain.
It contributes to existing knowledge in three respects.
Empirically, it examines the nature of employment relations in the
ethnic Chinese restaurant sector in the UK context, a hitherto
under-explored area. The study adds new knowledge to the study of
employment relations in ethnic minority small firms. Theoretically,
it draws out the concept of 'ethnic twist', which denotes how the
conflict between different group members from the same ethnicity
shapes patterns of shop floor behaviours, revealing the
heterogeneity of people from the same ethnic origins.
Methodologically, the research demonstrates the continued
importance of the ethnographic approach in studying workplace
relations. Additionally, we see lots of literature discussing
overseas Chinese businesses in terms of cultural resources,
business development, level of integration and structural
constraints. Surprisingly little is published on interpretations of
small firm workplace relations. This book might illuminate future
studies to explore management practices and employment
relationships in ethnic Chinese small businesses in different
national environments and industry sectors. It will be of interest
to researchers, academics and students in the fields of employment
relations, human resource management and organisational behavior.
