Sommario/riassunto

China has passed through a tumultuous 20th century. This journey included moving from foreign domination to a Communist peasant revolution to the opening of its economy through "capitalist reforms" in the latter part of the 20th century. As we advance into the 21st century, China, to the surprise of many, appears in all the annals of economic advancement even reaching the milestone of the second largest economy in the world. Where it was once marginalised on the global stage, China today stands at the forefront of most economic international issues and developments. Much of the developed world is still getting used to this new milestone of China as a leader of the international community. This book provides a fresh and possibly unorthodox examination of a number of contemporary business issues in relation to the current role China plays. Besides examining China's



global trade approach, the authors address China's unique investment approach in three major strategic destinations for China - Africa, Europe, and Australia. A special attention is given to the global financial crisis and its European version of this crisis. The authors also address some areas of "strategic mistrust" from global partners as exemplified in the handling of giant telecommunications provider Huawei in the United States highlighting new perspectives in the China-U.S. relationship. The book provides a different perspective of China's way about doing business with global partners offering new approaches to the way China, the dragon, dances in the centre stage with rotating dancing partners.

Sommario/riassunto

Research Data Management (RDM) has become a professional topic of great importance internationally following changes in scholarship and government policies about the sharing of research data.     Exploring Research Data Management provides an accessible introduction and guide to RDM with engaging tasks for the reader to follow and develop their knowledge.      Starting by exploring the world of research and the importance and complexity of data in the research process, the book considers how a multi-professional support service can be created then examines the decisions that need to be made in designing different types of research data service from local policy creation, training, through to creating a data repository.
