- Summary:
- The essays and commentaries in this study focus on how Chinese business organization, practice, and success have been interpreted in the historical literature on the subject and identifies the major issues in this growing subfield of modern Chinese history. By introducing various interpretations of China's economic development (impact of the West, modernization, Marxist, Weberian, revisionist, etc.) as well as Western business history theory, it establishes a basis for constructing an appropriate framework for future research on Chinese business history and thus is a seminal work on the subject.
