Trade between China and Africa is increasing year on year, while the West\nincreasingly debates the nature and implications of China\u2019s presence. Yet\nlittle research exists at the organizational and community levels. While\nwestern press reporting is overwhelmingly negative, African governments\nmostly welcome the Chinese presence. But what happens at the\nmanagement level? How are Chinese organizations run? What are they\nbringing to communities? What is their impact on the local job market?\nHow do they manage staff? How are they working with local firms?\n This book seeks to provide a theoretical framework for understanding\nChinese organizations and management in Africa and to explore how\ntheir interventions are playing out at the organizational and community\nlevels in sub-Saharan Africa. Based on rigorous empirical research\nexploring emerging themes in specific African countries, this book develops\nimplications for management knowledge, education and training\nprovision.
