Dual role of cadres and entrepreneurs in China : the evolution of managerial leadership in state-monopolized industries / Tsai, Chung-min; Liou, Chih-shian   Journal Article
Liou, Chih-shian Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract By examining China’s state-monopolized industries, we explore the evolution of managerial behavior. With the party-state’s continued emphasis on meritocracy in elite management, managers of China’s state-owned enterprises play a hybrid role as both party cadres and business entrepreneurs. This also reflects the adaptability of the Chinese Communist Party in pursuing pro-market reform.
