Emerging Trends in Chinese Market Socialism Chapter
Synopsis: Chapter 1: Chinese Market Socialism - A Summary
Account In this chapter, we review the historical legacy
and characteristics in the development of market socialism
in China and examine the general environment within which
economic enterprises operate: the economic, political and
institutional systems. It defines the concept of market
socialism and describes the major influences on the
development of market socialism, such as economic and
institutional reforms, privatization, WTO accession and
the impact of foreign direct investment. A summary account
for the formation of market socialism is presented in this
chapter. Chapter 2: Entrepreneurial Growth and Ownership
This chapter explains entrepreneurship, privatization,
ownership and government policies in relation to
institutional change in China's economic transition. The
focus is on emerging forms of different types of business
ventures and the growth of entrepreneurialism under market
socialism. Changing and contrasting management practices
are discussed under the two periods of 'state' and
'market' socialism. The evolution of economic enterprises
in China is examined in this historical context because
this legacy has shaped many of the present features of
management practices in present-day China. Chapter 3:
Management Theory and Practice in the Chinese Context
Chinese management theory and research is an emergent
process, the outcome of which is difficult to predict.
Most of the established theories that are applied to the
Chinese context have been developed in a western context
and, therefore, are not entirely relevant. In this chapter,
we highlight the key issues associated with contemporary
Chinese management thinking and practice in relation to
business growth. Relevant management practices are
discussed by reference to different organizational
contexts and ownership forms. These are state-owned
enterprises, privately-owned enterprises and foreign joint
ventures. Chapter 4: The Contradictions of State-owned
Enterprises State-owned enterprises (SOEs) are also
undergoing management restructuring, corporatization and
ownership diversification. The reform of state-owned
enterprises has long been restricted by the Communist
Party's socialist ideology, but, even so, they have
undergone various reforms aimed at improving management
efficiency and injecting entrepreneurialism into their
organizational development under market socialism. We
discuss these issues by reference to a case study of a
state-owned enterprise. Chapter 5: The Emergence of
Privately Owned Enterprises One of the striking features
of China's economic reforms - transforming from a command
to a socialist market economy - is the rise of the
entrepreneurial sector. The rapid growth of privately
owned enterprises has become a driving force for the
Chinese economy, as well as a dominant ownership form in
the economy. These private enterprises are organized in
very informal ways because of how they have emerged from
the shadow of the state-owned economy. Their distinctive
management practice and strategies are discussed by
reference to a detailed case study. Chapter 6: The Impact
of Foreign Joint Ventures Foreign investment, as a salient
constitution of the Chinese economy, plays an increasingly
substantial role in market transformation. Foreign joint-
ventures are major employers in China and, as a result,
their employment policies and management practices have a
strong bearing on reshaping the pool of human resources
and the experience of work for a significant proportion of
workers in China. Their capabilities are based upon a
combination of local skills and knowledge with foreign-
imported technologies and advanced management practices.
These issues are discussed by reference to a case study of
a foreign joint-venture. Chapter 7: Case Studies: State-
owned enterprise LTG, privately owned enterprise DAL and
foreign joint-venture DSF This chapter compares and
analyses the distinctive characteristics of these three
emerging business types under the conditions of emerging
market socialism. These case studies - a state-owned
enterprise, a privately owned enterprise and a foreign
joint venture - offer organizational profiles of how each
form of ownership shapes their distinctive organizational
and management practices. They also create challenges and
tensions in each type of venture that are likely to shape
future trends in the nature of Chinese market socialism.
Chapter 8: Emerging Trends in Chinese Market Socialism
Market socialism comprises both opportunities and problems,
which generate complexity and diversity in its unique
institutional characteristics. The chapter offers insights
into the contrasting roles of different types of business
venture in shaping the nature of market socialism. It
addresses the challenges and emerging issues that the
Communist Party must address in further developing a
globally focused transitional economy. China's global
transformation from 'copycat' to world-class 'innovator'
is discussed, as well as the implications of this for
future institutional change in what is rapidly becoming
the world's largest, fastest growing economy.
