Managing Expatriates in China by Ling Eleanor Zhang,Anne-Wil Harzing,Shea Xuejiao Fan Pdf

Providing fresh perspectives on managing expatriates in the changing host country of China, this book investigates expatriate management from a language and identity angle. The authors’ multilingual and multicultural backgrounds allow them to offer a solid view on the best practices towards managing diverse groups of expatriates, including Western, Indian, and ethnic Chinese employees. With carefully considered analysis which incorporates micro and macro perspectives, together with indigenous Chinese and Western viewpoints, this book explores topics that include the importance of the host country language, expatriate adjustment, ethnic identity confirmation, acceptance and identity. The book presents a longitudinal yet contemporary snapshot of the language, culture, and identity realities that multinational corporation subsidiary employees are facing in China in the present decade (2006-2016). It will thus be an invaluable resource for International Management scholars, those involved in HRM and other practitioners, as well as business school lecturers and students with a strong interest in China.

Expatriate Managers And Cross-cultural Leadership In China: Research And Practice In Leading And Managing Chinese Employees by Chin-ju Tsai Pdf

This book covers various aspects of leading and managing Chinese employees. As the second largest economy in the world, China is a strategic destination for international business ventures, with many expatriates working there. For these expatriate managers, cross-cultural management can be challenging, as their own management and leadership approaches may not always be compatible with local cultures and practices. This makes it important for managers to understand Chinese culture and employee workplace behaviors and expectations.This book aims to help readers understand how Chinese cultural values shape the work attitudes and behaviours of Chinese employees; what Chinese workers expect of their leaders and how their expectations are associated with their satisfaction; expatriate senior managers' views and experiences in managing Chinese subordinates; the challenges encountered by these managers and their suggestions for overcoming such challenges; and the extent to which expatriate business leaders must adjust their leadership behaviours cross-culturally, how and why they adjust, and their adjustment patterns.With insights derived from the experiences of over 390 expatriate senior managers and over 350 Chinese employees, the book is a must-read for all expatriate business managers and EMBA students who are currently or will be working in China. It will help them understand the unique values, attitudes, and behaviors of Chinese employees, behave in socially acceptable ways, and lead/manage Chinese employees effectively. It is a good reference guide for researchers and management consultants who wish to learn about the cross-cultural management issues found in Chinese workplaces and gain empirical insights into cross-cultural leadership in China.

Profiling German Expatriate Managers in China by Julia Scheffler Pdf

Master's Thesis from the year 2009 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,0, Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg (International Management), language: English, abstract: This paper strives for investigating the phenomena of expatriates focusing on German expatriates in China. There are several reasons for this. Regarding the main destination of expatriates, which are mainly from Western countries, one third of all assignees have Asia as destination. In Asia, there are huge emerging markets to be explored by MNCs such as China where Western countries have spent FDI for decades already. China is at a “stage of dramatic transition towards a more market-oriented economy.” Moreover, the human resource management stands high on the agenda not only for foreign but also for Chinese companies expanding abroad. Regarding the conceptual framework it can be seen that much research is done exploratory with surveys and questionnaires, and there are also some case studies. This survey study will also have an exploratory character preparing the ground for following empirical research. However, this thesis concentrates on the evaluation of CVs that have been voluntarily uploaded in the internet. This method of analyzing résumés is seen beneficial particularly until now in the social sciences. This study therefore deals with two important, not yet sufficiently answered research questions: A) What is the typical demographical profile of a German expatriate in China? B) What is the typical career profile of a German expatriate in China, respectively what position and function he or she obtains in China? Chapter 2 deals with the conceptual part of data collection and how the data was processed. In the two chapters thereafter, the results of the study are presented by providing answers to the research questions. Chapter 3 clarifies the typical demographical profile of a German expatriate in China, whereas Chapter 4 highlights the working experience, respectively the typical job profile. Chapter 5 will then summarize the findings and provide outlook as well as recommendations for companies. The next subchapter, however, will start to provide a general outlook on the topic of managing expatriates touching the most important topics.

Human Resource Management in China Revisited by Malcolm Warner Pdf

This edited volume first considers the economic background of the recent changes in HRM in the People's Republic of China from 1978 to the present day, exploring the change from a command economy to a more market-led one. It then goes on to look at the demise of so-called 'iron rice bowl' policy once dominated by a Soviet-inspired Personnel Management model to one now characterized by possibly Japanese, as well as Western-influenced HRM, albeit with what are widely described as 'Chinese characteristics'. Finally, it concludes with a comparative analysis of the contributions in the book on China vis-a-vis an appraisal of these with the national HRM systems of Japan and South Korea. This volume was previously published as a special issue of the International Journal of Human Resource Management.

Expatriation in China by Dirk Salmon Et Al.,Christian Brockmann,Carsten Dietrich,Dirk Salmon Pdf

Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1.0, Helmut Schmidt University - University of the Federal Armed Forces Hamburg (Fakultät für Wirtschafts- und Sozialwissenschaften), course: Seminar Expatriation, language: English, abstract: With the present paper we tried to create a quite comprehensive picture of China, it's economy, education, law and culture and, based thereof, what challenge a German company that considers expatriating staff to China can possibly encounter. Though entering the Chinese market with its great potential for future growth is understandably attractive for globally acting firms, setting up shop in the People's Republic needs to be considered carefully and planned thoroughly. Besides many other difficulties, the question of how best to make use of German and local staff is vitally important. The success of operating in China will largely rise and fall with the ability of the German expatriates who are responsible for setting up operations in China. Therefore, choosing the right staff for expatriation, training, supervising and caring for it is of utmost importance. Because of the vast cultural differences, China is probably one of the most demanding expatriation destinations there is. As we showed in our section about culture, China differs from Germany considerably in all but one of Hofstede's dimension, the most significant difference being the long-term orientation and collectivism. These cultural differences are of course reflected in the way the Chinese work, manage and negotiate. In order to be successful, the German expatriate not only needs to know about these differences, he or she has to adapt to them. As Posth states in his remarks and experiences in China, most foreign enterprises in China fail not because of too high costs or lack of competitiveness, but because cultural interaction problems and missing understanding of each other (Posth, 2006).
