The authors are established experts in the field with a record of critical perspectives on public policy, it also makes for a very good read. I strongly recommend it. David Smallbone, Professor, Kingston University, UKThis book describes how entrepreneurship has been evolving in China in both the state and private sectors, despite traditional enterprise theories stating that new business ventures shouldn’t flourish because of administrative burdens. Understanding the dynamics of industrial and organisational change in this emerging economy context is important, not just to correct misunderstandings for western firms and managers who wish to learn about the strategies and management processes required to secure a successful entry to China and its market, but also to improve our wider understanding of entrepreneurship and the conditions which can encourage and sustain it.Simon Bridge, Visiting Professor, Ulster Business School, UKChina is the new land of business opportunity but, for outsiders, it can be a perilous mission as they seek to understand and navigate the multitude of different types of business structure that comprise modern market socialism.
