Sample text

Most broadsheet newspapers and quality news magazines, as well as the other parts of the media, devote increasing amounts of space to Chinese affairs. Web-based publications prominently highlight news on such developments. It is clear that what happens in the PRC is now seen as having major consequences for the global economy and vice versa, as it has now also become a ‘wired’ society, with many hundreds of millions of internet users, as many as half a million or more. Even the presence of the Great Chinese Firewall ( fang huo chang cheng) censorship has failed to stop attempts to link up the keen ‘netizens’ with the online Global Village but it would as yet be premature to speculate about the political implications and whether or not a ‘Chinese Spring’ is at hand.

We will also see how this fits into the paradigm ( fan shi) debate and whether management in China has significantly moved towards a resolution of the issue involved here. 11 Conclusions In this introductory chapter of Understanding Management in China, we have set out to anticipate the contents of the book against the background of the broad forces which have shaped management in China, in both the past and the present. The twentieth century, we will show, was a tumultuous one, being an ordeal of revolution, turmoil and war.

Also, how far it will develop even more specific Chinese characteristics is considered – if the latter is to be the case. We will also set out a number of scenarios relating to the full gamut of future possibilities. Last, we will present a birds-eye view of how management in China has evolved over the years, as well a discussion of how far there might be a Chinese theory (li lun) of management, as opposed to a theory of Chinese management, as many scholars of the subject have recently debated, as we shall see in the conclusions (in Chapter 10).
