Abstract

This book is about how Chinese entrepreneurs deal with China’s most important institution-the government-in their struggle to survive and even prosper in China’s transitional economy. It takes an "inside look" at several private firms in China and provides a first-hand account, as well as the underlying rationale and decision considerations, of their corporate political strategy. The book is based firmly on solid academic research but actually written with both practitioners and scholars in mind. It offers candid and insightful quotes and observations from the owners and executives of China’s private firms with regards to their dealing with the government. This book advances a typology of corporate political strategies based on the respective motivations of the business (the entrepreneurs and their firms) and the government (the government institutions and individual officials) as well as the modes of their interactions. Eight different types of political strategies by China’s private firms are identified and illustrated with real-life examples, ranging from one-night-stand, situational shopper, good ole friend, patronage seeker, model volunteer, institutional improviser, direct participator, to red hat insider. The book also dissects a living case and traces the development of one particular private firm, from its humble start-up to present day glory, which fittingly illustrates the evolution and dynamics of the various types of political strategies the firm employed at different stages of its growth. For anyone who wants to understand China’s private firms and the Chinese government, thus be able to deal with them more effectively, this book is a must-read.

Understanding the incentives for and consequences of accounting method choices is important to various constituents of accounting. In 1998, a Chinese accounting regulation allowed listed companies to voluntarily write‐down assets through their income statements. The regulation was amended in 1999 to require all companies to write‐down assets, with a retroactive adjustment of pre‐1998 asset impairment to the beginning equity. These events allow us to unambiguously identify a test sample that voluntarily wrote down assets in 1998, and a control sample that suffered from asset impairment but chose not to write‐down. This research setting is free from many problems that have been identified in the asset write‐down literature. Overall, we find that the voluntary asset write‐downs have a positive valuation effect. While recognizing the possibility of alternative explanations, we believe our results, taken together, are more consistent than others, with the voluntary write‐downs being a signal of the potential for performance improvement. We provide evidence consistent with this signaling explanation. This study adds additional evidence to the accounting choice literature by taking advantage of a unique research opportunity in China and adopting a broad approach to examining both the incentives for and consequence of voluntary asset write‐downs.

The rise of China and its major corporations will be a key economic development in this century. Even as leading Chinese firms show their muscle through ambitious acquisitions of firms like Thinkpad and RCA, many western investors and business leaders know little or nothing about them. This book looks at the rise of Chinese firms, who they are, how they'll change the global competitive landscape, their strengths and weaknesses, and how established western firms might meet the challenges and opportunities this trend presents.

领导力就好像爱情，人人都知道它的存在，却很难有人说清楚它究竟是什么。对此，许多西方学者曾著书立说，提出过不同的模型，但对于中国这样的新兴市场来说，在哪方面修炼，能够更有成效地发展领导力呢？哪些才是具有“中国特色”的领导力？ 根据大量的实际采访，《中国市场领导力——100位经理人的实战告白》作者李秀娟通过定量分析研究显示，领导力关键事件绝大部分都与“变”、“冲”、“危”、“磨”、“挫”、“拓”、“学习”和“楷模”息息相关。面对不同环境下的不同领导力事件，成功的职业经理人的抉择往往不同于常人，他们是怎么做的，他们的价值观和出发点又是什么。从大量的真实案例中，我们可以通过“看一斑窥全豹”的方式，通过模仿与学习，使自身的领导力在潜移默化中得到锻炼和成长。另外，中国企业在进行内部领导力培养和开发时，也可以根据现实情况和需要，有针对性地创造一些实践机会，以磨炼管理者的领导力。
