Routledge Studies on China in Transition

The ability of China''s entrepreneurs to establish firms in the midst of a strangling bureaucratic system is a topic which demands attention not least because it forms the basis of China''s economic development. Combining theoretical approaches with extensive fieldwork, China''s Rational Entrepreneurs presents a fresh angle of analysis for understanding the behaviour of Chinese entrepreneurs and what kind of relations they have with local government in order to secure long-term business success.
