Summary:

"China's new entrepreneurs operate both in traditional industries, where they have over-hauled the way these businesses operate, as well as in new industries. These "new to China" industries include property, building, and construction, which caters to people's desire to own their homes, and footwear, clothing, retailing, and electronic goods, which cater to both the domestic and export markets. Perhaps the most visible entrepreneurs are those in the telecommunications, internet, and e-commerce sectors. Scholars have recently turned their attention to documenting and analyzing the rise of entrepreneurs and private sector business in China. However, this research has thus far been published in a large number of journals and magazines that are not easily accessible to an international audience. With this in mind, we have put together this book, which has contributions written by leading experts on entrepreneurial activity in China. We believe our book will be thought-provoking and highly informative for all those with an interest in detailed accounts of the development of entrepreneurial development in China"-- Provided by publisher.
