This book provides a critical insight into China's evolving
socio-cultural relations with Islamic countries in the face of
growing geopolitical uncertainty. It considers both the historical
and socioeconomic aspects of China-Islamic countries relations to
present a balanced analysis of the effectiveness of the Belt and
Road Initiative (BRI) plan and the current and future evolution of
cooperation. The book also sheds new light of the impact on
individual economic sectors, considering both the micro- and
macro-effects on various stakeholders as the global community
navigates an increasingly precarious power struggle between
dominant world powers. The book presents contributions from a
variety of fields to provide a multi-faceted breakdown of the
challenges that remain for the myriad of relationships in the years
to come.Â

of the Asian region, the contributors illustrate how China
successfully exports the Chinese business model, based on Chinese
ethics, social networks and production integration. The
contributors also discuss topics such as the implications and
ramifications of global product sharing within Asia; the prospects
of free trade agreements in Asia; the economic advantages of
Chinese family lineage and Guanxi an influential Chinese network;
collaboration of overseas Chinese with mainland Chinese, as well as
direct Chinese business involvement and investment in other Asian
countries.
One of the first of its kind, this book examines the digitalization
of Chinese businesses both theoretically and practically. Taking a
fresh and unique approach, the authors seek to adopt individual
theories for each empirical case explored and investigate the
dramatic digital transformation that Chinese firms have undergone
in recent years. With a particular focus on social networks, the
authors observe and analyze the way that digitized applications can
interlink with financial systems, developing new capabilities that
help to yield competitive advantage. Covering both small to medium
sized enterprises (SMEs) and globally orientated multinational
enterprises (MNEs), this book is a valuable resource for those
researching Asian business, or international business more
generally, as well as innovation and technology management.

This book encapsulates the 'New Normal Policy' which has changed
the regional policy between China and the African continent. This
volume emphasises China's role in Africa as a collaborator in an
attempt to fulfil the Beijing consensus in emerging countries. The
contextual research encompasses how one can comprehend the
influence of the Chinese model in Africa and her diplomatic

This book offers an in-depth analysis of the roles and strategies
of subsidiaries of American multinational companies (MNCs) in
Taiwan's IT industry. Based on semi-structured interviews with 16
managing directors of the different foreign-owned subsidiaries and
100 functional unit managers, the authors investigate (1) the roles
of functional units in evaluating strategy formulation and change
in foreign subsidiaries; (2) the factors that determine strategy
formulation and change in foreign subsidiaries and their functional
units; and (3) the linkages between cross-functional units. The
research underscores the view that MNCs' strategies are composed of
assorted heterogeneous elements.

This book offers critical insights into the China-led Belt and Road
Initiative (BRI) from an EU perspective. It analyzes the political,
cultural, and diplomatic effectiveness of Xi's efforts to expand
socio-cultural ties and build new trade corridors between Europe
and the Far East, and sheds light on the lasting success and
influence of China-led economic programs. The book is divided into
three parts. The first part provides an overview of the various
dimensions of the BRI initiative, including the challenges and
opportunities of the EU-China trade relationship, China's
geopolitical interests, and foreign policy approaches. The second
part analyzes BRI cooperation from the perspective of the business
sector, while the third part presents case studies that examine the
impacts and responses of various European countries to the BRI.

The Communication Ecology of 21st Century Urban Communities
addresses the questions of whether it (still) matters what
neighborhood individuals live in and if it is still necessary and
possible for city dwellers to build and maintain place-based
communities. The book's contributors address how urban communities
are formed, reformed, and transformed from a communication
infrastructure theory perspective. Through the lens of this theory,
communication is defined as a fundamental social process by which
cities are sustained and changed over time. The chapters in this
book elaborate the theoretical and methodological frameworks of the
communication infrastructure theory approach; articulate
theory-driven and multi-method frameworks for the study of the
city; and speak to pressing, contemporary, research- and
policy-related challenges (or questions). The broad array of issues
addressed within this volume is expected to draw the interest not
only of communication researchers and professionals, but also of
students, scholars, practitioners, and policymakers from a variety
of backgrounds and with an interest in different aspects of life in
the city, including: public health, technology, civic engagement,
and urban planning and design.
