China is restoring its imperial glory by infusing modern technology and market economics into a non-democratic system controlled by the Communist party and bureaucracy. Shenkar shows why China's quest for global success differs radically from predecessors such as Japan, India, and Mexico. A fundamental restructuring of the global business system is occurring... and it will transform the roles of all participants in the global economy. Shenkar previews tomorrow's new competitive ground rules, terms of employment, and consumption patterns, showing how Chinese ascendancy is redrawing political, economic, and social battle lines. This book shows what you must do to survive and prosper in "the Chinese Century."
