Business Strategy and Corporate Governance in the Chinese Consumer Electronics SectorAuthor(s): Hailan Yang, Stephen Morgan\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Woodhead Publishing Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Chandos Publishing (Oxford) Ltd\nISBN-13: 9781843346562, 978-1843346562\nSynopsis\nThis book analyses how Chinas firms in the consumer electronics (CE) sector have developed their business strategy and corporate governance during the reform process. The CE sector is one of Chinas most important and dynamic manufacturing sectors. As one of the earliest market-oriented sectors after 1978, its experience illustrates the adoption of the Western model of management in China. This is the first book to analyse the link between business strategy, corporate governance and performance of firms, explicitly comparing state-, collective-, and privately-owned firms. This book argues that the competitive dynamics of the market are central to the survival of firms in contemporary China.
