Economic Transition in the Peoples Republic of China and Foreign Investment Activities

The book explores the pivotal role of transnational corporations in China's economic transition, particularly in modernizing its economy through the transfer of advanced foreign know-how. Focusing on Shanghai, the author presents empirical data from a case study to analyze the three stages of this know-how transfer process. By employing an interdisciplinary approach, the work highlights the impact and necessary conditions for effective knowledge exchange, filling a gap in existing research on international business and transition economies.
