Chinese Entrepreneurship And Asian Business Networks

This book brings together a range of experts who present original research findings and thinking on the role, characteristics and challenges of Chinese entrepreneurship and business networks in various East and Southeast Asian countries. Based on empirical research data and a multi-disciplinary explanatory framework, this volume assesses the role, characteristics and challenges of Chinese entrepreneurship and business networks in various East and Southeast Asian countries. This work demonstrates that Chinese network capitalism is contingent upon, for example, time, place and institutional frameworks, and that explanatory approaches of Chinese economic behaviour which stress culture and ethnicity are too simplistic.
