Hong Kong management and labour

by Patricia Fosh

"Hong Kong: world city or Chinese society? To what extent will management in Hong Kong now reflect westernisation or Chinese culture? What is the impact of economic, social and political change on Hong Kong's management and labour?" "This book considers the highly topical and rapid changes over recent decades in Hong Kong's labour market in order to answer these questions. This book examines the economic, social and political factors affecting labour markets, management style, employee participation and trade unions in recent years, and examines enduring influences such as the Chinese cultural stress on family collectivism and many changes such as deindustrialisation following the transfer of manufacturing to the Chinese mainland. Moreover, these far-reaching changes look set to continue in the new Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China."--Jacket.
