Human Resource Management In China Revisited

Malcolm Warner

Synopsis:

This edited volume discusses the latest developments in HRM in China. The book first considers the economic background of the recent changes 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. The chapters by leading international academics and specialists introduce the main debates in the field and feature a wide range of empirical contributions based on 'state of the art' field research. This is a special issue of the International Journal of Human ResourceManagement.
