China and the Global Economy in the 21st Century

John Saee is the former Dean of the School of Business Administration and Faculty of Communication Studies at the International University in Germany and the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Management Systems.

As China continues to ride out the global economic crisis while still retaining year on year GDP growth it grows increasingly important to understand how this 'new' economic giant, with its communist-capitalist model operates its economic and business environments. Drawing on extensive empirical evidence, this book analyses FDI, project management, internationalisation, the continued role of state-owned enterprises and doing business in China. As such it will be essential reading for all students of Chinese business and economics, as well as businesses seeking to develop a critical understanding of the driving global economic force which is China.
