Management Training and
Development in China
One of the critical issues facing both the Chinese government and businesses
operating in China is the lack of trained managers. Management Training and
Development in China, with contributions by internationally-known scholars from
a wide range of countries, examines the Chinese response to the challenges of
management training and development. It considers the development of business
schools in the PRC and the impact of foreign partnerships on their operation. It
summarizes the current trends in management training and development and
outlines the likely course of future developments. Overall, this book is a
comprehensive account of management training and development in China, and
is intended as an important resource in an area that has hitherto seen little
substantive research.
Malcolm Warner and Keith Goodall are both at the Judge Business School,
fi
University of Cambridge, and are well-known writers in the eld of Chinese
management. Malcolm Warner has been a visiting academic at City University,
Hong Kong. Keith Goodall is also on the faculty of the China Europe International
fi
Business School, Shanghai. They have both published extensively in this eld.
