Sommario/riassunto

Literature and science are two disciplines are two disciplines often thought to be unrelated, if not actually antagonistic. But Robert J. Scholnick points out that these areas of learning, up through the beginning of the nineteenth century, ""were understood as parts of a unitary endeavor."" By mid-century they had diverged, but literature and science have continued to interact, conflict, and illuminate each



other. In this innovative work, twelve leaders in this emerging interdisciplinary field explore the long engagement of American writers with science and uncover science's conflicting meani

Sommario/riassunto

Management Practices in China draws on real business case studies created by senior managers, many of whom are studying on or alumni of Executive/International MBA (EMBA/IMBA) Programmes in Mainland China. It captures unique, actual, operational and strategic business cases, written to reflect and learn from real-world problems and challenges. Good quality case studies are always hard to find, and this book creates a unique contribution, in providing real-world cases produced by and for practising managers. It will be of great benefit to teachers, researchers and practitioners (including EMBA/IMBA students) both in China and internationally, and provides important and valuable insights into decision-making in China-based companies. The book features up-to-date cases from a wide range of China-based companies, from multinationals to small and medium-sized enterprises, including for- and not-for-profit organisations, a significant proportion of which are China-owned. Management Practices in China is the second title in The China Business Case Study Series. It is published in association with the University of Aberdeen (UK), and Webster University (USA).
