Trade between China and Africa is increasing year on year, while
the West increasingly debates the nature and implications of
China's presence. Yet little research exists at the organizational
and community levels. While western press reporting is
overwhelmingly negative, African governments mostly welcome the
Chinese presence. But what happens at the management level? How are
Chinese organizations run? What are they bringing to communities?
What is their impact on the local job market? How do they manage
staff? How are they working with local firms? This book seeks to
provide a theoretical framework for understanding Chinese
organizations and management in Africa and to explore how their
interventions are playing out at the organizational and community
levels in sub-Saharan Africa. Based on rigorous empirical research
exploring emerging themes in specific African countries, this book
develops implications for management knowledge, education and
training provision, and policy formulation. Importantly it seeks to
inform future scholarship on China's management impact in the world
generally, on Africa's future development, and on international and
cross-cultural management scholarship. Primarily aimed at scholars
of international management, with an interest in China and/or in
China in Africa, this important book will also be of great interest
to those working in the area of development studies, international
politics, and international relations.
