Sample Characteristics and Variables --Notes --References --IndexDragon in a Three-Piece Suit is an innovative sociological examination of what is perhaps the main engine of economic reform in China, the large industrial firm. Doug Guthrie, who spent more than a year in Shanghai studying firms, interviewing managers, and gathering data on firms' performance and practices, provides the first detailed account of how these firms have been radically transformed since the mid-1980s. Guthrie shows that Chinese firms are increasingly imitating foreign firms in response both to growing contact with international investors and to being cut adrift from state support. Many firms, for example, are now less likely to use informal hiring practices, more likely to have formal grievance filing procedures, and more likely to respect international institutions, such as the Chinese International Arbitration Commission. Guthrie argues that these findings support the de-linking of Western trade policy from human rights, since it is clear that economic engagement leads to constructive reform. Yet Guthrie also warns that reform in China is not a process of inevitable Westernization or of managers behaving as rational, profit-maximizing agents. Old habits, China's powerful state administration, and the hierarchy of the former command economy will continue to have profound effects on how firms act and how they adjust to change. With its combination of rigorous argument and uniquely rich detail, this book gives us the most complete picture yet of Chinese economic reform at the crucial level of the industrial firm.CapitalismChinaIndustrial managementChinaIndustrial organizationChinaOrganizational changeChinaChinaEconomic policy1976-2000Electronic books.CapitalismIndustrial managementIndustrial organizationOrganizational change388.951Guthrie Doug1969-283419MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455023503321Dragon in a three-piece suit2461298UNINA03922nam 22005773a 450 991056307450332120250203235458.0978192839663510.4102/aosis.2018.BK94(CKB)4100000007881599(OAPEN)1004786(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/33151(ScCtBLL)adb51660-fd24-4c3d-a716-a7e997e491a7(OCoLC)1100518001(oapen)doab33151(EXLCZ)99410000000788159920250203i20182020 uu enguuuuu---auuuutxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierDebating Otherness with Richard KearneyDaniël P.

Professor Kearney first visited South Africa in May as joint visiting academic of the Universities of Stellenbosch, Pretoria and North-West. The visit prompted the publication of this scholarly collected work, authored by South African and international scholars. These specialists in philosophy and religious studies analysed Kearney's influential work and brought his scholarly perspectives into dialogue with other leading thinkers in the field, both from Africa and abroad. This publication will be the first collective attempt to engage his work from the perspective of the African continent. This collected work contributes significantly in an interdisciplinary way to Ricoeurdian studies. The target audience of the book is peers and specialists in the field of Continental philosophy and philosophy of religion.Philosophy: metaphysics & ontologybicsscPhilosophy of religionbicsscRichard KearneyanatheismothernessstrangenesstranscendencehermeneuticshospitalityphenomenologyBritish idealismPhilosophy: metaphysics & ontologyPhilosophy of religion231.7Veldsman Daniël P1788526ScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910563074503321Debating Otherness with Richard Kearney4323548UNINA
