Contrasts in Chinese and Western Management Thinking

Abstract

Experience shows that there are no easy ways of transferring Western ideas of “management” into the factories of the Peoples' Republic of China, or vice versa. With the present rapid expansion of trade between China and the West this sets up some formidable problems for the managers who are likely to be involved in the new “joint ventures” and for the people who have to organise them from Head Office.
