ECONOMIC TRANSITION IN THE PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF ...

Transnational corporations play a central role in China's economic transition. They are a
crucial source for China to obtain advanced foreign know-how in order to modernise its economy.
The increasing presence of transnational corporations has brought Chinese firms and employees
exposure to foreign business practices and culture and  more precisely  to different types of
foreign know-how. This book shows the impact and preconditions of know-how transfer through
transnational corporations. Peter Werner presents empirical data gained from a case study in
China's largest and most dynamic city - Shanghai. Using an inter-disciplinary approach  the
author introduces and examines three stages of the know-how transfer process. While much of the
research on international business und transnational corporations has dealt with know-how
transfer issues  very few studies have recognised and empirically linked these three stages to
a comprehensive analytical framework and placed it into the context of a transition economy.
