Although diversity is the current buzzword in management theory, we
still have only a slight understanding of how demographic
differences within organizations influence individuals' attitudes
and behavior toward each other and the organization as a whole.
Demographic Differences in Organizations fills this void.
Meticulously researched and authored by two respected scholars-one
working in this country, the other in Hong Kong-this book addresses
the problems and benefits associated with an increasingly diverse
global workforce. Unlike most other researchers in the field, Anne
Tsui and Barbara Gutek are interested in the effects of demographic
diversity on all members of an organization, not just minority or
newly arrived groups. This broad-based, highly readable study
should be read by managers, academics in business management and
social psychology, and students of business at the undergraduate
and graduate level.
One of the most important outcomes of market reforms in China over
the past 20 years has been the emergence of a significant domestic
private sector, which now accounts for almost a third of China's
GDP and is by far the country's most important source of employment
growth. This book is the first in-depth analysis of the management
and operation of these domestic private firms, which are defined as
companies or organizations created by PRC citizens, including
township enterprises and collectives. The book provides a
comprehensive and multidisciplinary perspective on the factors
important to the successful operation and growth of these firms. It
begins with a review of the literature on the topic in three
different disciplines - economics, sociology, and management - each
followed by several chapters covering recent developments in these
areas. Featuring contributions by distinguished scholars and China
experts, the work concludes with an insightful chapter on the
future of China's public sector in the global economy.

This original book presents in-depth research into thirteen
successful Chinese private enterprises through interviews with
their founder-entrepreneurs. While Chinese economic growth has
focused primarily on governmental policies and institutional
factors, Leadership of Chinese Private Enterprises proposes that
the success of these firms was primarily due to the 'visible hands'
of these entrepreneurs. The authors present insights into the
managerial realities of four separate industries- Financial and
insurance, IT and e-commerce, construction and real estate, and
consumer goods. Through a critical evaluation of interviews, this
book identifies the managerial recipe for entrepreneurial success
in competitive and inhospitable environments and offers a model of
private firm leadership and leadership principles that guide their
strategies and relationships.

The Management of Enterprises in the People's Republic of China
aims to contribute to the knowledge base of management within the
Chinese context. The book begins with a mapping of research on
management in PRC, and offers theoretical insights for
cross-context, institutional, and behavioral studies. It then
reports the results of fourteen empirical studies of management
issues in the PRC firms. The issues studied include SOE
transformation, globalization, governance, employment
relationships, managerial networks, corporate culture and
leadership. Also included are studies on the knowledge management
process and management team characteristics of high technology
firms. The methods of study include large-scale surveys, case
studies, and interviews. The contributors are international experts
in Chinese management research. Finally, we offer executive
perspectives on several successful firms operating in China through
interviews with their CEOs.
With China's eminent entry into the World Trade Organization, past
speculations of China becoming a world economic power in the 21st
century is a reality with which few would disagree. We are
witnessing the awakening of many sleepy giants, such as the
successful reformed state-owned as well as township and village
enterprises. We are also witnessing the birth and growth of a
significant private sector, along with ever-increasing foreign
investments. In this development process, there is a critical need
to document and theorize about the management process by firms in
this changing and dynamic context.
