With the rise of China in the world economy, investors from all over the world are moving to explore business opportunities in this market. Managing international business in a transition

financial management. These issues are analyzed in the light of relevant theoretical models of international business, with reference to current management practices of transnational
corporations operating in China. With up-to-date case studies, questions for discussion and recommended readings at the end of each chapter, this book can be used as a textbook for postgraduate
programmes in international business or other management disciplines, and as a textbook for executive training programmes.
