Publisher's Synopsis
Chinese Big Business and the Wealth of Asian Nations examines the crucial contribution of Chinese business groups to the rapid growth of South-East Asia. This study examines major Chinese firms and their increasingly important networks in this era of regional interdependence and internationalization of production processes. The book draws upon unprecedented empirical detail relating to Chinese firms, their growth patterns, joint ventures with foreign capital and responses to technological change and competition and contributes to debates on economic networks, the economics of trust and relations between business and the state in the global economy.
