Download Weapons Of The Rich. Strategic Action Of Private Entrepreneurs In Contemporary China Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
This book provides a fresh perspective on the political agency of private entrepreneurs in contemporary China. Most Chinese scholarship describes this group as being politically acquiescent due to systematic co-optation by the party state. This book, however, argues that private entrepreneurs should be understood, and analytically conceptualized, as a 'strategic group' that makes use of different formal and informal channels to safeguard and expand its interests, though so far it has not challenged the current regime.State-business relations in contemporary China should thus be understood not in terms of mere clientelism, but as a dynamic symbiosis in which private entrepreneurs contribute substantially to policy and institutional change. This book is based on several years of comparative empirical fieldwork across China. With its rich and unique qualitative data and insights, this volume contributes significantly to our understanding of the political behaviour and impact of private entrepreneurs in contemporary China.

The authors investigate the phenomenon of highly skilled Chinese returnees and their impact on the development of the Chinese economy and society, and on the transformation of China into a key player on the global stage. They analyse the reasons why Chinese entrepreneurs choose to return to their native country and how their overseas experience shapes their attitude and behaviours. This study is solidly grounded on fresh data from online and offline surveys and on evidence collected in over 200 interviews of successful returnees entrepreneurs. These global Chinese returnees have contributed to the rise of Chinese economy into a global powerhouse and this continuing brain movement and circulation will have much more future implications and impact for China's exchange with outside world.

Download The Merchants of Zigong Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
From its dramatic expansion in the early nineteenth century to its decline in the late 1930s, salt production in Zigong was one of the largest and only indigenous large-scale industries in China. Madeleine Zelin's history details the novel ways in which Zigong merchants mobilized capital through financial-industrial networks and spurred growth by developing new technologies, capturing markets, and building integrated business organizations. She provides new insight into the forces and institutions that shaped Chinese economic and social development (independent of Western or Japanese influence) and challenges long-held beliefs that social structure, state extraction, the absence of modern banking, and cultural bias against business precluded industrial development in China.

Insight and analysis on the strategies that have led to China's rapid economic expansion China's rapid economic growth has made it a vital market for the biggest multinational corporations, most of which have invested heavily in China. Yet those corporations face their toughest competition not from other multinationals, but from China's own homegrown businesses. China's entrepreneur class has grown and their businesses are succeeding primarily due to their knowledge of the domestic market, quick adaptation to market changes, and their resourcefulness. To paraphrase Sun Tzu, it is best to know one's enemy. Made in China gives executives at multinationals the inside insight they need to compete with China's homegrown businesses before they lose out.

Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled The Making of Migrant Entrepreneurs in Contemporary China: An Ethnographic Study of Garment Producers in Suburban Guangzhou submitted by Gao Chong for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Hong Kong in October 2006 This study represents an effort to understand the emergent migrant entrepreneurship in contemporary China within a changing socio-economic context. After decades of restriction on free migration and private business in socialist China, the changing political and economic circumstances have allowed for the emergence of migrant entrepreneurs-in-the-making in recent years. But the migrants, who have a disadvantaged economic and social status, usually lack resources when they choose to start their own businesses. In order to understand how they succeed in entrepreneurship, ethnographic fieldwork was conducted in a village of suburban Guangzhou to investigate the entrepreneurial practices popularly employed by migrant entrepreneurs who ran garment factories. The focus of this study is on how these migrant entrepreneurs employ social network and culture in their entrepreneurial practice to start their own businesses. The fieldwork data shows that they not only employ strategic methods to mobilize resources embedded in their social networks but also employ culture as a strategy to solve problems encountered in entrepreneurship. Moreover, they make use of social and cultural resources with the logic of economic rationality. The rise of migrant entrepreneurs is thus not merely the functioning of a given social context or of cultural factors, but is the outcome of integration of these socio-cultural factors to mobilize resources to fulfill the demands of entrepreneurship and obtain competitive advantages in business. In this sense, their success in entrepreneurship does not lie solely in social or cultural factors, but depends on their ability to maintain a balance between the use of their social networks and culture and the market mentality.
