Globalizing China, The Influence, Strategies and Successes of Chinese Returnees
Author:
Huiyao Wang, Center for China and Globalization, Beijing, ChinaSynopsis:
In recent years, a new spectacular group of entrepreneurs in China called Chinese Returnee Entrepreneurs (CREs) has emerged. Not only have they contributed enormously to the rapid growth of the Chinese economy, but they have also connected China to the outside world in today's globalized economy.
This book examines the literature on the returnee phenomena and assesses the impact and influence of Chinese Returnee Entrepreneurs. This is the first major empirical study to evaluate the impact of CREs in the Chinese globalization process. It also examines the roles, drivers, strategies, and performances of CREs on environment-strategy linkages in a strong emerging economy.
The research highlights the significance of strategies, drivers, constraints, and performance relations for CREs success in shaping their operational framework in China. The findings of this study suggest that CREs have become a driving force in Chinese globalization, dominating the internet, IT and media industries. They have become leading players in the Chinese hi-tech industries, as well as the best team players and social capital users of international guanxi. The study reveals that CREs' competitive advantages lie in their strategies utilizing technology, team work, market approach, social connections, professional qualifications, and international working experience.
Reviews
"In Globalizing China, Wang continues his important and in-depth research into Chinese returnees that are reshaping China...and the world. Beyond documenting trends and case studies, Wand identifies strategies and key success factors of Chinese returnees. Practitioners, policy makers, and academics will all benefit from this detailed account and its projections for tomorrow."
William Kerr, Associate Professor, Harvard Business School
"Meticulously documented and perceptively analyzed, this path breaking book is a must read for those researchers, policy makers and business executives who are interested in understanding the significant role played by Chinese returnees and diaspora in China's globalization."
Liu Hong, Professor, Nanyang Technological University
"Returnees have been a major force in the rise of China. But very little is known about their backgrounds, motivations, experiences and struggles. Huiyao Wang is the preeminent scholar in this field - whom I've had the honor of working with. He brings their stories to life and documents their massive contributions. I hope this book is read widely by policy makers all over the world. It will enlighten them on the role that skilled talent plays in economic development."
