This book presents a comprehensive overview of managers and
management in Vietnam, based on extensive original research,
including interviews with a large number of managers in Vietnam. It
shows how management in Vietnam is best understood from the
perspective of Vietnamese managers themselves, rather than in terms
of Western or Asian models of management. It discusses the range of
enterprises in the Vietnamese economy, which, until 1986, was
dominated by large state-owned enterprises and Soviet-style central
economic planning, and where there is now a much greater variety,
with a mix of privatised state-owned enterprises, foreign-owned
companies, joint ventures and a very large number of relatively
small private companies, all operating in a social market economy
where Party ideology emphasises a balance between economic growth
and workers rights. The book demonstrates how the tensions arising
from this economic landscape are reflected in the views and actions
of managers as they balance economic and social goals in their
work, and how their activities are constrained further by the
enduring influence of local culture which is not always amenable to
imported ideas and methods. As many managers have worked in
different kinds of companies, the book also reveals a great deal
about management in different contexts and also about how companies
have changed as the reform process has evolved. "

The authors explore the degree to which Chinese multinationals have
a distinctive 'Chinese' approach to human resource management, in
the same way as large Japanese companies are widely regarded as
having a special Japanese approach. Based on extensive original
research in the subsidiaries of Chinese multinationals outside
China, the book examines a wide range of issues related to this key
question including the evolution of human resource management in
Chinese companies, the internationalization of Chinese business,
recruitment and selection, rewards and compensation, performance
appraisal, strategic integration, and employee relations. Shen and
Edwards give a detailed account of the international human resource
management of Chinese multinational enterprises; a topic of
increasing significance in understanding global economic affairs.

The past five years of my life have dragged along. I've been
chasing my own tail for years, trying to catch a serial killer. Not
just any serial killer, but THE serial killer. He has been
incomparable in how he kills and even in his contacting the
police... namely me. My name is Charles Clyatt. I'm the lead
detective on his case. Some think I'm all washed up, because of the
one case that I haven't been able to solve...yet. It's not like
anyone else had a better chance at solving it, either. But, with
only a month to go until my retirement, my whole career is being
defined by this one case and it's driving me crazy. Having had to
watch family after family die has caused me years of distress. He
always targets the happy families. He watches them die slowly. He
likes to look at their faces, into their eyes, as life's joys slip
away; as the life drains from their bodies. He believes he sees
into their very souls. At least, that's what one profiler had to
say about the inner workings of his mind. Of all of the cold
blooded killers I've come across, the hundreds I've caught over the
years, I've never seen any as monstrous as he is.
