| Description: |
This text is an examination of Chinese economic reform, focusing on large industrial firms. It shows how firms are imitating Western businesses, arguing that economic engagement has led to constructive reform. The book also warns that this reform does not mean inevitable Westernization in China. |
| Synopsis: |
Dragon in a Three-Piece Suit is an innovative sociological examination of what is perhaps the main engine of economic reform in China, the large industrial firm. Doug Guthrie, who spent more than a year in Shanghai studying firms, interviewing managers, and gathering data on firms' performance and practices, provides the first detailed account of how these firms have been radically transformed since the mid-1980s. With its combination of rigorous argument and uniquely rich detail, this book gives us the most complete picture yet of Chinese economic reform at the crucial level of the industrial firm. |
