Full textAbstract:
Since the late 1980s, mergers and acquisitions (M&As) have started to take place in China. In recent years, M&As have become an increasingly common strategy used not only by Chinese enterprises seeking expansion, but also by foreign finns interested in direct entry. The transaction fees have also jumped from $32.1 million in 1985 to $70 billion in 2004. However, due to the special economic environmel1t, M&As in China have been influenced by the shadow of economic planning and limited by intervention from the govemment, especially the M&As that concem with stated owned assets. This study intends to uncover the critical influences that have significant value-added impacts on M&A of privately owned enterprises in China. An integrated and holistic viewpoint that includes the most critical rational choice perspective within a multidimensional framework will be employed. Key factors in the areas of govemment, strategic fit, and organizational fit are explored and analyzed in nom1al qualitative ways, which based on two case studies as the research methodology throughout the study. The findings of this study suggest that Govemment is considered to be the important factor influencing the decision making of the enterprises and the integration management of the M&A, which is helpful for the resources reallocation and organizational compatibility. Differences in resource allocation also can be considered as the most important strategic complementarity in the pre-acquisition phase to achieve the synergy. Key factors in the integration management phase are effective integration of personnel characteristics, and culture fit. Employees' conciliation and effective leadership as personnel characteristics can be considered as the crucial factors to the successful M&A. The 'soft' and 'supportive' acculturation of culture concept, and the incentive and supervisory mechanism; and integration of the management system have also been found as the major approaches to integrate the culture. The findings in this study also indicate that unsound agency service, ambiguous attitude from the govemment, incomplete related law and regulations are still obstacles to positive M&A perfom1ance. The study findings will expand the domain of Chinese M&A studies, enlarge the domain of the rational choice perspective, establish a multidisciplinary Chinese M&A model, which help to improve Chinese industry academics' and practitioners' understanding of important M&A phenomena not only leading to significant successful upgrading of industry (transfom1 from completion of the original accumulation to mass production stage); but also providing with a meaning of demonstration and popularisation to the refom1 of the state owned enterprises.

Full textAbstract:
The construction industry in Botswana plays a crucial role in the economic development of the nation. While much research in this sector centres on the technical issues, especially the tender/procurement processes as they have evolved over the years, there is limited research on employment relations. This study investigates the lived experiences of employees in the Botswana construction industry in both domestic-owned and Chinese-owned companies and aims to capture „snapshots‟ of their perceptions of the causes and forms of conflict within that sector. Adopting a pragmatism research paradigm, this research employs a mixed methods research protocol to obtain quantitative and qualitative data from a sample of 632 employees. The overall results reveal that there are statistically significant differences between domestic- and Chinese-owned companies, with respect to how employees perceive income distribution, job security and managerial control as causes of conflict. The empirical results show that there is a positive relationship between employees‟ negative workplace perceptions and various forms of workplace deviant behaviours that employees use to retaliate in the event they perceive some form of unfairness, particularly in wages, job security or how managers/supervisors treat them. In domestic-owned companies there is a significant and positive association between disparity of income distribution and personal gain deviant behaviours such as theft as compared to other deviant activities against the production process including sabotage and production deviance; while in Chinese-owned companies there is a significant positive association between all forms of workplace inequities (income distribution, job security, managerial control) and all forms of conflict. This study contributes to the development of a more rigorous approach to the analysis of industrial relations conflicts in the construction industry in developing economies. This type of comparative research between domestic- and Chinese-owned companies could possibly be transferred to similar industries, such as in manufacturing and retail, where there are also a significant number of foreign-owned companies. This thesis concludes by discussing the various contributions made by this study to both academia and practitioners. It also details several recommendations for future research and for ensuring peaceful and productive employee-employer relationships in the workplace.Doctor of Philosophy

Full textAbstract:
In the last decade, the ever increasing pressure of competition faced by businesses has led to the development of Customer Relationship Management (CRM). In short, CRM is the practice of integrating all aspects of business functions for dealing with customers, with the assistance of technology, and with the intention of boosting company profitability. CRM has been widely promoted as a critical contributor to business survival. However, the high failure rate of CRM projects has also attracted research attention and many factors have been discussed as contributing to the success or failure of CRM implementation.
This research argues that CRM is not simply a software package or a computer program. CRM, instead, should be perceived as a strategic issue in order to realize its potential. In addition, this study also argues that CRM implementation is affected by organizational, strategic and cultural factors. In particular, this study was conducted within the context of Chinese small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs), with company size and culture as two major focuses in this study. SMEs were chosen as this segment has been overlooked in CRM study, yet it represents a great potential for growth in CRM adoption. Chinese culture was chosen as most of CRM studies have been conducted within a western cultural background. The Chinese culture has distinctive characteristics different from western culture, and this has strong influences on business operations.
A quantitative method was adopted for this study and a mailed survey was used to collect data to examine the relevance of these factors within this context. Research participants were recruited using a systematic sampling technique through a comprehensive Chinese business directory. Results suggest that there are positive associations between a companys CRM implementation and its practice of organizational, strategic, and cultural issues. In particular, four organizational issues organizational integration, executive commitment, system readiness, and resource availability; three strategic issues vision, planning, and customer-centric culture; and one cultural issue networking, have an impact on a companys CRM implementation.

Full textAbstract:
This research investigates acquisition activities carried out between Western companies and Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOEs), focusing on the influences of acquisitions on identity, culture and commitment of the target SOE employees. The managerial factors that influence the acquisition integration are investigated and their relationships with the post-acquisition performances of the target SOEs are explored. There are three research questions: How do acquisitions influence the identity, culture and commitment of the target SOE employees? What are the factors that determine an employee’s post-acquisition identification? What are the relationships between acquisition management and post-acquisition performance? Case studies are adopted as the main research methodology in order to provide an in-depth answer to these research questions. Statistical analysis is used in order to provide clear evidence of the factors influencing post-acquisition identification and the effect of acquisitions on the performance of SOEs. The findings of this research indicate that acquisitions have significant negative effects on the performance of target SOEs and these negative effects are mainly due to inappropriate managerial strategies adopted by Western acquirers. Further, although not significant, a positive correlation between acquisition management and acquisition performance has been found in this research, a finding which is in line with the prediction of theories and consequently, supports the assumption that acquisition management contributes to acquisition performance. All factors (pre-acquisition identification, cultural incompatibility, communication, a sense of continuity, fast reform and negative emotion) are significantly related to post-acquisition identification when age, education, salary, size, employee position and organisational tenure are controlled. Different from previous studies, which found that the individual-organisation relationship influences employees’ organisational identification in the Western context, this research finds that social relationship is a vital factor in influencing Chinese employees’ identification. Also, social relationship is a unique factor fostering Chinese employees’ positive identity, but not the shared social identity as has been found in the Western context. These findings imply that social relationship is a distinct factor in fostering employees’ organisational identification in China and consequently, in predominantly collectivistic countries. Further, this research shows that the point held in previous studies that out-group is not necessarily discriminated against in collectivistic cultures when group membership is salient due to the collectively-oriented feature is not applicable in acquisitions because people of collectivistic cultures show a strong in-group identity, a strong motive to distinguish insiders (i.e. in-group members) from outsiders (i.e. out-group members), and a strong resistance to uncertainty. These responses are driven by the characteristics of collectivistic culture such as collective-orientation and high uncertainty avoidance. Three particular issues emerged that may be useful for acquisition management in China. The first is the recruitment of employees at the post-acquisition stage. Selecting people as managers of post-acquisition organisations cannot be based only on their ethnic groups or multi-language capability, but also on other factors. To run post-acquisition companies, it is better to employ people who are professionals in the industry with multi-cultural working experience than those returned overseas Chinese who have been away from China for a long time and ethnic Chinese who lack managerial experience in China. The second issue is that middle-aged and older employees find it difficult to accept changes due to their deeply rooted culture. Younger employees can more easily accept the changes than middle-aged and older employees because their values are more or less in accordance with those of Westerners. The third issue is that due to the fact that the M&As do not require employees to completely abandon or change their old identity, and social relationship is a unique factor in fostering organisational identification in China, these factors contribute to a sense of continuity perceived by Chinese employees and consequently lead to a positive correlation between pre- and post-acquisition identification in the acquired SOEs, which are positioned as having dominated status in acquisitions. The implications are discussed at the end of this thesis.

Full textAbstract:
As ERP implementation is complex and risky, there were many researchers discussed the critical success factors (CSFs) of it to achieve a more successful ERP implementation project. On the other hand, the ERP implementation in Chinese SOEs met some other obstacles. There were articles discussed what were the differences of ERP implementation between Chinese SOE and western countries, and some were directly about the CSFs among Chinese SOE implementing, there is still lack of a comprehensive study of what caused the difficulties and why, as well as possible solutions for it.
This study was based on both literature review and empirical study. Literature of brief ERP and ERP implementation introduction, general CSFs description, cultural features of Chinese SOE, and ERP implementation in Chinese context, were reviewed. In the empirical study, which was about the ERP implemented in a Chinese SOE, the project process was described and the perspectives from different project participants were obtained by interviews, surveys and documents.
Generated from the literature review and empirical study, suggestions of CSFs of ERP implemented in Chinese SOE are as follow: the legacy systems, existing data quality and IT infrastructure should be figured out to make proper plans and schedule; the top management should be mobilized to guarantee their sufficient support and commitment, as well as resource allocation; the employee cultural feature should be understood such as collectivist and uncertainty acceptance culture; and based on these understanding of the cultural characteristics of project relevant groups, then the appropriate and accurate plan and estimation can be done; during the project, the project team has to spend enough effort and patience to execute the plans, as well as guarantee the effective communications among implementing parties; after the implementation, a continuous attention should be paid by top management and relevant departments to obtain the continuous improvement which is one of the ERP benefits.

Full textAbstract:
Primarily, this research provides insight on a management accounting change in a Chinese state-owned enterprise (SOE) from institutional perspective. Comprising a qualitative field study, the research examines and explains how and why a management accounting change occurred in the SOE, which is the oldest and largest beer producer in China. The study focuses on the introduction and usage of a Balanced Scorecard (BSC), at both the headquarters and the factory level of the organization. The framework of institutionalization proposed by Burns and Scapens (2000) is utilized as the theoretical framework for this research. The major findings take the form of a comparison between the usage of the BSCs at the headquarters and at the factories. It is found that higher resistance to change occurred in the factories than at headquarters and resulted in the rules required by these management accounting practices to be only loosely coupled with routines embedded in everyday working activities, as the factories carried on brewing their beer. In contrast, behaviors at headquarters were more tightly coupled with the rules of the revised accounting practices. This diversity in the effect of the change process may be explained by the new management accounting practices entailing rules that fit better with the activities and routines carried out at headquarters, and so being more easily institutionalized. In contrast, institutionalization has not had much success in the factories primarily because of a lack of fit between complying with the new rules and maintaining the success of brewing operations, and because of historical circumstances that the factories have had some independence in operational matters, although part of an organizational hierarchy. Given the location of this study in a Chinese setting, the findings may contribute that, despite its Western roots, institutional theory may explain the low success rate of the implementation of the BSC in China.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study is to discover the board effectiveness through an examination of insider board practices in Chinese State-Owned-Enterprises (SOEs). It is based on twenty one in depth interviews with company executive and non-executive directors and supervisors in three publicly listed companies. It involves the investigation of the variables of board structure, function, processes and effectiveness. Interpretive inquiry is conducted to ascertain whether board directors and supervisors understand the meaning of corporate governance in achieving board effectiveness and to what extent they comprehend their role in implementing the codes and principles of corporate governance in day-to-day business activities. The study assesses qualitative data gathered from the interviews using content analysis and presents a model with propositions for its testing in later research. The results show that the notion of corporate governance has been widely accepted by Chinese boards. Universal principles of corporate governance are applicable in Chinese SOEs but social context prevents companies from implementing effective governance systems. Relative to the assumptions of agency theory, institutional theory and resource dependency theory, the practical challenges associate with the board processes and dynamics are not well recognised both theoretically and practically. Although the boards enact formal structures required for corporate governance, the board members' real behaviour is often far from satisfactory in order to promote shareholder accountability. These findings suggest that it is essential to understand what constitutes a good corporate governance system from the perceptions of board practitioners. The results therefore contribute to theory by highlighting the significance of primary qualitative research upon key governance variables. Extant research focuses too narrowly upon formality and by-passes process related activities, emphasising that there is a disparity between the perceived and real effectiveness of boards. The study addresses the gap between research and practice by providing an opportunity to investigate invisible board behaviours and contributes academic research to the practices of corporate governance reform. Practically, the findings provide a diagnostic framework which would benefit all Chinese companies in making further improvements to corporate governance.

Full textAbstract:
This study empirically examines the dynamics and conditions of relationship conflict between supervisors and employees in Chinese State-Owned Enterprises. It proposes that relationship conflict has significant effects on leadership in Chinese SOEs, specifically, it threatens leader-member relationships, lowers the possibility of open-minded discussion, influences leadership effectiveness and prevents future collaboration. This study uses Deutsch’s (1973) theory of goal interdependence to understand relationship conflict between supervisors and employees. Specifically, it proposes that three types of goal interdependence affect the experience of relationship conflict and its outcomes. Cooperative goals compare to competitive and independent goals can help reduce relationship conflict between supervisors and employees and in turn lead to quality relationships, open-minded discussions, leader effectiveness, and confidence in future collaboration.
A total of 103 face-to-face interviews were conducted in Nanjing and Guangzhou in mainland China, with all the participants from Chinese State-Owned Enterprises. Participants were asked to describe a specific incident in which they engaged in relationship conflict with their supervisors. Details of the incidents including the setting, what occurred, the reasons, and the consequences were also recorded during the interview. Participants also rated specific questions on 7-point Likert-type scale based on the recalled incidents. Results of structural equation modeling and other analyses support the hypotheses and provide statistical evidence to the proposed theoretical model that goal interdependence affects relationship conflict that influence several leadership constructs, named leader-member relationship, open-minded discussion, leadership effectiveness, and future collaboration. The model and the findings also help to broaden understanding of dynamics of relationship conflict and suggest ways it can be alleviated in order to strengthen organizational leadership.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to find a proper positioning strategy for China self-owned car brands in the Chinese market. For this purpose, the authors used the theory about brand positioning, target market and segmentation, brand image, differentiation and general positioning process. What’s more, the authors conducted a questionnaire research, studied the Geely acquisition case, and collected information from consumers’ perspectives to understand the current positioning situation of the Chinese automakers. In the methodology part, limitations of the quantitative and qualitative data are discussed, and the authors presented suggestions for further studies. After gathering empirical data, the authors analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of Chinese car, Geely and Volvo, introduced competitor’s performance to make clear the current situation of China self-owned car brands. From the analysis, the present brand image of Chinese car is low-price and bad-quality in the consumers’ mind. The authors tried to figure out a proper brand image for Chinese car to increase the market share in the domestic market. In conclusion, developing safe car of high quality and targeting the middle-class market is the optimal choice for current China self-owned car brands.

Full textAbstract:
Research on the internationalisation of the firm has focused mainly upon identifying the competitive advantage 'which enabled it to invest overseas, as well as the motives and methods of foreign entry. Strategic issues have been largely ignored in both the theoretical and empirical research. Most empirical research is based upon macro (country) and/or meso (industry) data. There have been few detailed company studies to explain the dynamic interactions between the evolution of a firm's external environment, competitive advantage, corporate strategy and its internationalisation. This thesis by employing the case study method seeks to incorporate strategic issues into an analytical framework for examining the internationalisation of the firm. It argues for a micro (corporate) and holistic approach to the analysis of internationalisation of the firm. Specifically, it argues that while home country characteristics and their evolution may influence the creation and the nature of corpor ate competitive advantages of the firm, corporate strategies play an even more decisive role in the internationalisation of the firm, especially when its international involvement has reached a certain degree. The international strategy pursued by the firm has a direct impact not only upon the speed of the firm's subsequent internationalisation, but also upon the motives, methods and modes of its foreign entry. In the past two decades, an increasing number of researchers have investigated the internationalisation of firms from the Third World or less developed countries (LDCs). In spite of China's growing importance as an outward investor, the internationalisation of Chinese firms has received scant attention. This exploratory study seeks to fill this research gap. Based upon detailed case studies of five of China's largest state-owned manufacturing companies, this research has confirmed the importance of changing corporate strategy in the dynamic interactions between changes in the firm's external environment (especially in China's domestic economy under the economic reforms and Open-Door Policy), its internal resources and capabilities and the internationalisation of its business. This research suggests that corporate strategy has played an important intermediate role between corporate competitive advantage of the firm and the internationalisation of its business. Moreover, the international strategy pursued by the firm has not only speeded its subsequent internationalisation but also enabled it to adopt bolder methods and modes of foreign market entry. Because of the difficulty in ascertaining the representativeness of the five case companies, the findings of this research are indicative instead of conclusive.

Full textAbstract:
China’s State-owned Enterprises are important actors in China’s foreign policy arsenal. In the last decade, these massive companies began an international expansion unlike anything seen before on Earth. Going into developing nations, these companies undertake massive infrastructure and development projects in countries that most western nations have written off. This paper examines the success and failure of SOEs when they go abroad employing three case studies from the past decade, the Mes Aynak copper mine in Afghanistan, the Sicomines infrastructure and copper project in the Congo, and the COVEC highway project in Poland. The projects are then analyzed to determine the strengths and weaknesses of SOEs and comments on whether or not they are successful tools of diplomacy in our contemporary globalized world.

Zhang, Shuai. "A study of talent management in the context of Chinese private-owned enterprises." Thesis, University of Hull, 2014. http://hydra.hull.ac.uk/resources/hull:12371.
Full textAbstract:
Talent Management (TM) is still a new research field in China’s context. TM like other management disciplines is often embedded in a certain institutional context and influenced by certain social norms, cultural factors and government policies. TM is therefore closely related to research context. The Chinese cultural context is influential in shaping TM concepts and practices. However, how TM practices are used to retain talents in the context of Chinese private-owned enterprises (POEs) is still a research gap. TM is a holistic strategy for an organisation. It is therefore necessary to explore Chinese POEs’ TM practices through a holistic lens, which covers the processes of defining talents, attracting talents, developing talents and retaining talents. Previous TM studies mainly focused on exploring TM concepts and there is a lack of empirical investigations on TM practices, especially in the context of Chinese POEs. Linked to the characteristics of Chinese POEs and Chinese cultural context, this study explores talent retention from a holistic perspective of TM. This research adopted an interpretivist perspective and inductive approach. Based on a case study research method, primary and secondary data were collected from three case companies, and analysed qualitatively. The theoretical framework used in this research is largely based on TM literature. Talent attraction, talent development, and talent retention are used as a lens to view the case companies and to explore what TM activities drive talent retention in the context of Chinese POEs. Organisational commitment is the main theory employed by this research to explore talented individuals’ turnover intention. Findings show that Chinese guanxi is an important perspective to define talented employees in the context of Chinese POEs. Competence, position, and guanxi are holistically considered to define a talented employee. It was found that guanxi is an important factor influencing the entire TM process, including attracting talents, developing talents and retaining talents. Career development, rewards, and guanxi were significant factors in retaining talented employees in the context of Chinese POEs. Guanxi as a new TM perspective not only makes a theoretical contribution to talent definition but also contributes to talent development and talent retention theories. The research offers practical talent retention suggestions to TM practitioners. A significant practical contribution may be adopting TM practices to develop talented employees’ guanxi ties to increase their organisational commitment and to reduce turnover intention.

Full textAbstract:
Based on the theories in institutionalism, social psychology and culture, this research has developed a theoretical model to determine the influence of the Chinese employment related institutions upon employees’ attitudes towards employment process. In terms of recruitment, dismissal/redundancy, wage setting, promotion, welfare and workplace rights protection, the research has qualitatively analyzed two main Chinese employment-related institutions—the social and working identity systems. Between different social and working identity holders in the Chinese state-owned or state-holding enterprises, the research has quantitatively analyzed the significant differences of employees’ attitudes towards the employment process. With the use of the research model, the influences of the Chinese employment-related institutions on employees’ attitudes have been determined. The research has found that the Chinese employment-related institutions set employees’ social and working identities as qualifications or standards for the employment process in state-owned/holding enterprises, causing considerable positional differences between different social and working identity holders. The positional differences cause the differences of experiences and actions between these employees, consequently resulting in significant attitudinal differences towards the employment process between them. This research mainly has the following original contributions. First, it contributes to the theory development in the field of human resource management, which fills the gap between institutionalism and social psychology. Second, the research academically contributes to the insight into the Chinese employment-related institutions and their influences upon the Chinese employees in the arenas of Chinese institutions, human resource management and industrial relations. Finally, it can guide the policies and practices of human resource management in practice. In particular, the research findings can be valuable references to the present Chinese institutional reforms in term of minimizing the positional and benefit gaps between different social and working identity holders.

Full textAbstract:
China is a country built on traditions and one of its most respected traditions is a preference for the family unit. The closeness of the family unit is carried over into the economic life of the country. Family members not only live together, but also work together in the fields or in enterprises. The advantage of this is that families have a guaranteed labour force that is not only loyal and can also be trusted. The disadvantage however is that positioning within the business is not always based on merit and competence, or trustworthiness which can ultimately impede growth. This research was an examination of Chinese family-owned businesses that focused on their management practices. The purpose of the study was to explore the management characteristics of Chinese family-owned businesses by means of interview data collected from five Chinese businesses in the Cape Metropolitan area. The emphasis of the project concentrated on the establishment, expansion and growth, ownership and leadership, management structure, the impact of cultural factors and the strategy for the future as well as challenges in terms of competitors and environments.

Full textAbstract:
There is an upsurge of trend in studying the internationalization strategy (IS) of firms from China in international business (IB) research area. However studies which have done on Chinese firms in IB area are mostly focused on large state owned enterprises (SOEs), and there are few studies which have focused on the IS of Chinese privately owned enterprises (POEs). This study used the framework of environment – internationalization strategy – performance as the theoretical support, and adopted a case study method on a Chinese POE –Wonder Auto Technology Inc.. By analyzing the firm's ISs, the study results showed that Chinese POEs use export, foreign direct investment (FDI), and strategic alliance as their ISs, environmental factors from institution, industry, and firm level could influence a firm's choices of internationalization strategies, and these strategies are positive related to the firm's performance.

Full textAbstract:
The research presented here investigates State intervention in the marketplace in China, by way of certain laws and industrial policies, to assess how various aspects of these interventions have impacted on the development of privately-owned small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in certain traditional State-controlled industries, namely the steel, gas station, and fixed-broadband sectors. This thesis demonstrates weaknesses in the legal framework of Chinese laws designed to promote competition and advance the interests of SMEs, and identifies reasons why this framework has failed, as well as providing recommendations for improvement. During China’s economic transition era, the State-market relationship has been tightly controlled by the Central Government. The Economic Charter, namely the Anti-Monopoly Law of China 2007, did not come into force until 2008. However, although dynamic enforcement of this Law commenced in 2014, it has so far failed to alter the parameters of the State-market relationship: industrial policy retains its traditional prominence and dominance in State intervention, and continues to protect the anti-competitive exercise of specific or exclusive rights by administrative agencies and State-owned enterprises (SOEs). Therefore, privately-owned SMEs often experience confrontations with SOEs. This tendency not only prejudices fair competition, but also harms the uneven-balance between different types of interest groups in the Chinese marketplace. Privately-owned SMEs and consumers suffer discrimination from the anti-competitive application of State industrial policies and the administrative actions of implementation agencies. Accordingly, the “public interest”, the reconciliation between the State’s interest, the interests of enterprises, and consumer welfare, has not been advanced under the 2007 Act. Hence, this thesis proposes key reforms which are necessary in order to establish, and bring about the operation of an effective legal framework for the promotion of the interests of Chinese privately-owned SMEs, in order to ensure their sound growth, and in order to bring about the realisation of the “public interest”: First, this work recommends measures designed to improve the enforcement of the Anti-Monopoly Law of China 2007, by proposing to restrain inappropriate administrative intervention, in order to restrict the State’s industrial policies and the abuse of administrative rights from adversely impacting on SME-generated growth and competition. Second, the work suggests increasing the alignment between the Anti-Monopoly Law of China 2007 and other elements, such as dministrative discretion and corporate social responsibility, in order to establish a fair competition environment for privately-owned SMEs in traditional State-controlled industries.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is concerned with management issues in the transformation of Chinese State-owned enterprises during the national economic transition. The research has sought to explore the relationships between the outcomes of the transformation and - managerial behaviour, and the process of managing change. The main body of analysis and theoretical contributions arise from in-depth case sttidies, interviews with managers and officials, and extensive use of enterprise documents. The thesis provides a detailed insight into the implementation process of reform programmes in Chinese SOEs, and analyses the interaction between changes at' macro level and reform at the firm level. While the thesis supports previous research findings, that incomplete institutional change constrains the development of reform ' at the firm level, it also reveals that lack of management commitment and capabilities in managing change are contributing factors in accounting for the failure or unexpected outcomes of reform programmes. The study is a benchmark of a hugely important process impacting on the development of one of the world's fastest growing nations. The assessment of the change process should help inform future change initiatives, identify management issues which have emerged in the transformation process, and contribute to the search for ways of successfully achieving the intended aims of the reform programmes. Chapter 1 discusses the research questions, and describes the scope of the research and structure of the thesis. Chapters 2 & 3 together review the evolution of enterprise reform in China and the selected relevant literature, while Chapter 4 presents the basic methodological considerations. The reasons for choosing case studies as the main method are presented, and a more general framework for investigation and analysis is offered. Chapters 5, 6, 7 & 8 document the background and major aspects of the formulation and implementation of reform prograu:'me~ in the three case companies. In Chapter 9, a detailed analysis of the empirical findings from the case studies is provided. This chapter is a synthesis of the findings, and a consolidation of the interpretation of theoretical and practical issues identified in this . thesis. Chapter 10 summarises the major findings and contribution of this research.

Full textAbstract:
Performance appraisal is an important element of Human Resource Management and one which can directly contribute to the achieving of organizational goals. The process of performance appraisal can also result in employee development, enhanced communication and a strengthening of a feeling of belonging. The central conceptual framework for the study embraced performance appraisal within the wider framework of performance management, stakeholder theory and the diversity of national culture. Much of the previous research into performance appraisal has predominantly focused on Western organizations, with limited attention being paid to its practice in developing economies. The entry, in 2001, of the People's Republic of China to the World Trade Organisation (WTO), provided an opportunity for foreign banks to operate in China which, in turn, increased competition for Chinese banks. As the banking sector, particularly the state-owned banks, is an extremely sensitive area for the nation's economy, the contribution that performance appraisal can make to a bank's success is important and thus provided a natural setting for the research. Adopting an exploratory approach, a specifically-designed questionnaire was used to gather data from salient stakeholders in Chinese state-owned banks between 2006 and 2007. Over 700 questionnaires were returned and analysed using parametric statistics to determine how stakeholders perceived performance appraisal within their bank. Biographic data provided independent variables which were evaluated against the areas of satisfaction, loyalty and the perception of an 'ideal' performance appraisal system. Levels of employee satisfaction provided a strong cultural perspective on the appraisal process, with this being contrasted at different levels within the banks and between each bank. The findings suggest a relationship between salient stakeholders' positive perceptions of procedural and distributive justice and levels of satisfaction. Findings from stakeholder perceptions of an 'ideal' appraisal process were used to provide recommendations as to how performance appraisal can be intertwined within a national culture. The unique setting provided direct contributions of knowledge with respect to developing the conceptual framework of performance appraisal from a stakeholder perspective. The associated areas of performance management and evaluation of performance appraisal in a developing economy extended the literature with respect to international HRM. From an organizational perspective, the empirical study provided recommendations that contributed to the development of employees in Chinese state-owned banks, which would enhance their strategic aims, in the new post-WTO competitive environment.

Mestrado em Economia Internacional e Estudos EuropeusHoje em dia, as empresas estatais, têm um importante papel no desenvolvimento da economia global. O crescimento exponencial das empresas estatais chinesas nos últimos anos surpreendeu o mundo. No entanto, existem algumas preocupações com estas empresas chinesas, nomeadamente na sua falta de transparência, devido sobretudo ao seu contexto obscuro. As suspeitas de que estas não operam justamente no mercado global são recorrentes, pois podem receber algum tipo de tratamento preferencial concedido pelo governo. Esta tese, tem como objetivo, tentar compreender melhor se as empresas estatais chinesas estão a operar em condições justas no mercado global. Com base em estudos anteriores, e a compreensão de disputas ocorridas desde 2002, na Organização Mundial do Comércio, concluímos que as mesmas não operaram justamente a tempo inteiro, mesmo sabendo que muitas investigações sobre estes casos não são conclusivas. Apenas quando houver mais clareza sobre a vida das empresas estatais chinesas, poderemos concluir verdadeiramente se existe alguma ameaça real ao equilíbrio neste setor comparativamente à concorrência justa do mercado global.
Nowadays, state-owned enterprises are playing a considerable role in the global economic development. The spectacular growth of Chinese SOEs in the last two decades has specially shocked the whole world. However, there are also concerns for the global market due to their murky background. It is always suspected that they are not operating on a level playing field because they might receive some preferential treatment from the government. The purpose of this paper is to study whether Chinese SOEs are operating on a level playing field in the global market. Based on previous studies about Chinese SOEs and the case study about dispute cases involving Chinese SOE at the World Trade Organization since 2002 until now, we conclude that Chinese SOEs may not be operating on a level playing field all the time, even if the dispute cases analyzed are not always conclusive. Only when there is more sunshine over Chinese SOEs could we see better if there is any real threats from Chinese SOE sector to the fair competition in the global market.

Full textAbstract:
Motivation: Chinese stated-owned enterprises (SOEs) play an increasingly role in Chinese economy although, its management for its suppliers are yet not in an effective manner in the situation mentioned in this case. Even though the Kraljic (1983) matrix is commonly used as a guideline for how to manage suppliers, there is a lack of studies based on Kraljic that have analysed the situation where the buyer are bound to and unable to switch its suppliers. Purposes: the purpose of this paper is to first to analyse the situation in the case by applying the Kraljic matrix, and second to explore the major challenges in terms of cost, communication and supplier selection in dealing with the supplier relationships. Specifically the analysis concern how factors like political risk, “Guanxi” and CSR restrict the way the case company manage its suppliers. In addition, appropriate supplier management strategies are formulated based on the findings. Research methods: in order to achieve the purposes of this paper, first an extensive literature review related to this paper was conducted. Afterwards, a case study of a subsidiary of Sinopec was carried out. The discussion concerns different types of the suppliers who are categorized according to the Kraljic matrix. Interviews with these two managers are major source of data collection. Findings: as indicated from the purpose the findings from the case confirm that Kraljic matrix is inadequate to capture the case of Chinese SOEs in this paper. The subsidiary does not either select or evaluate suppliers based on cost efficiency. Further, it is shown that political risk “Guanxi” and CSR influence the way the way the firms manage its suppliers. Implications: training design including all levels of managers and exploiting the use of “Guanxi” is two of appropriate strategies recommended for improvements in current situation

Full textAbstract:
Modern corporate governance is most characterized by management, board of directors, shareholders’ meeting, and supervision committee board. However, by investigating functions of the Party Committee, a dominant corporate governance power over modern corporate governance in Chinese central state-owned business groups (CSOBGs) , this thesis explains how Chinese CSOBGs are governed and intervened by Chinese central government and CPC at micro-level, and to what extent and under what situations political events and cadre bureaucratic system intensify the misalignment of interests between agents and principals, and how such corporate governance structure affects SOEs’ investment decisions and investment efficiency. I find that the Party Committee embeds Chinese CSOBGs’ leading executives in Chinese cadre bureaucratic system. Executives’ intention to advancement within the cadre bureaucratic system motivates the political-driven out-bound mergers and acquisitions by Chinese CSOBGs especially during critical political periods around NCCPC . I document a strong positive correlation between the promotion of leading executives of Chinese CSOBGs and the incidence of out-bound mergers and acquisitions during their tenure, and a significant negative 1-year post-acquisition performance. Furthermore, such corporate governance practice exacerbates the misalignment of the interests between non-listed Chinese CSOBGs and their listed subsidiaries, resulting in high leveraged parent tunneling from their listed subsidiaries. I report a statistically significant negative cumulative abnormal return of CSOBGs’ subsidiaries responding to these politically motivated transactions. The negative cumulative abnormal return of listed group affiliates is elucidated by critical political period, subsidiaries’ separation of ownership and control, liquidity, and parent’s leverage. I present that when CSOBGs first declare their proposals of their out-bound mergers and acquisitions, market only responds positively to their subsidiaries that are enjoying greater separation. However, the critical political periods, sensitive investment timing related to executives’ political promotion, wipes the positive influence out. With the worry of group’s tunneling, for subsidiaries with strong liquidity but a highly leveraged parent, the short-term event-driven stock performance is significantly negative. Last, consistent with previous literature, this study provides the evidence that during hot political periods, SOEs and politicians suppress negative information and disclose after the hot political periods. A significant relation between the count of news articles 3 months ahead the announcement and the short-term stock market return of out-bound mergers and acquisitions by CSOBGs is reported. Further more, stock market reactions to these news articles diverse to different political periods. I find the stock return within the event windows is negatively correlated to the news’ sentiment during the hot political periods. It indicates that the market discounts the news’ sentiment even takes them in the opposite way during the hot political periods.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis tries to assess the impact of the reforms after 1993, especially the so-called Modern Enterprise System, on the behaviour and management practices of state firms. The central research question is whether the new rounds of economic reform have changed state firms into commercial entities operating according to market signals, as intended. In order to explore this question, an institutional approach is employed. More specifically, the thesis examines how the behaviour and management practices of state enterprises have changed with changes in the institutional environmental resulting from the introduction of new reform measures and especially the MES. The main evidence used in this research comes from the Chinese electronics industry (CEI). Non-state firms, namely collectives and joint ventures, are involved in the study to provide a benchmark against which changes in the behaviour of state firms in the mid and late 1990s are compared. A comparative statistical analysis shows that state-owned firms, both traditional and corporatised ones, still lag behind collectives and joint ventures in terms of both labour and total factor productivity. The further empirical work of this research consists of a questionnaire survey and case studies that are based on interviews with senior managers of 17 firms in the CEI. The findings of these analyses suggest that there has been little fundamental change in the behaviour pattern of state firms in the 1990s, despite the introduction of the Modern Enterprise System, and that the economic reforms after 1993 so far seem to have failed to transform the state firms into commercial entities operating according to market signals.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, I exploit accounting issues in the Chinese context with a particular focus on the role of government. The thesis consists of three empirical essays, examining how the state coordinates among the state-owned enterprises in executive compensation (essay 1), how the government regulates the dividend payouts of listed firms (essay 2) and how the delisting regulation influences the accounting choices of listed firms (essay 3).The first essay examines relative performance evaluation (RPE) in China. Previous studies of RPE for executive compensations in Western developed markets have produced mixed findings. This is partly because the dispersion of share ownership in Western capital markets does not closely correspond with the single-principal/multi-agent theoretical setting assumed by Holmstrom (1982). In this study, I exploit the existence of a large number of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) in China to examine RPE in a setting closer to the theoretical assumption. I find that SOEs are more likely to use RPE for executive compensation than non-SOEs. This is consistent with better cross-firm coordination in executive contracting among SOEs under a common “state” principal than among non-SOEs with dispersed principals similar to Western firms. Furthermore, I find a more pronounced RPE effect among SOEs that are larger or have poorer past performance. This implies that the state principal has greater incentives to monitor strategically important firms or those in distress. The second essay examines the market reaction to and earnings management choices around changes in the regulations requiring a higher minimum dividend payout in China to shed new light on the determinants of dividend payout policy. I find that the market reaction is more positive for firms that paid less than the new required minimum payout than for those that paid more than the new required minimum, consistent with agency cost explanations of dividend payout. In addition, I find that low dividend payers exhibit a greater tendency to manage their earnings downwards to comply with the earnings-based threshold, and investors can “see through” such earnings management behaviors. My findings support the view of DeAngelo, DeAngelo and Skinner (2009) that agency costs of free cash flow retention are an important part of the dividend payout story. The third essay explores the earnings-based delisting rule in China that provides particularly strong motivation to manage earnings above the loss/profit threshold. I identify two groups of firms that successfully avoid being ST-ed, i.e. firms with a one-year loss before returning to profit, and firms with consecutive small profits. I provide a comprehensive examination of earnings management in terms of accruals management, real earnings management and non-operating income, to investigate whether Chinese firms manage earnings either to avoid reporting a loss or to avoid reporting two consecutive losses. Though there are mixed results sensitive to the research design for earnings management pattern in the two groups of firms, this study provides insights into earnings management induced by a government regulation.

Full textAbstract:
The fast-growing economy in China attracts the world’s interests, which includes the Chinese stock markets. The market efficiency of Chinese stock markets is widely discussed by researchers in different approaches. The involvement of government in stock markets is a unique case in the financial world. By this paper, we are answering the question that is the degree of market efficiency of stat-owned companies different from that of private companies in Chinese stock markets. This will bring us knowledge about Chinese stock markets as well as the impact from ownership, market value and management styles on market efficiency. To clarify the influence from government involvement in stock markets, we select 938 stocks distinguished by ownership structure. This quantitative study is preceded on daily data from 2007 to 2011. We use auto correlation, Chi-square test, and linear regression together with Spearman’s correlation to test our hypothesis. The degree of market efficiency of each ownership group is examined and compared to each other. Market efficiency related to ownership and market capitalization are inspected if they are anomaly factors in Chinese markets. The empirical results indicate that the degree of market efficiency of state-owned companies is significantly different from the degree of market efficiency of private-owned companies in China. The market capitalization is one of the existing anomaly factors in Chinese stock markets, as well as it is correlated with degree of market efficiency to some extent. For state-owned enterprises, active management on stock market does not provide a better market efficiency compared to passively managed companies.

Full textAbstract:
Over the last several decades, Chinese local state owned enterprises (LSOEs) have become significant forces in Chinese outward foreign direct investment (OFDI). I first show, using a quantitative regression model, how LSOEs have a comparatively stronger strategic asset seeking (SAS) orientation. Operating within a diversified external political economy, and possessing unique status and features following decentralization, LSOEs face particular challenges, to which SAS oriented OFDI has arguably been one response. I then investigate the case of China’s Northern Heavy Industries (NHI) Group from Liaoning Province. The group operates in the Tunnel Boring Machinery (TBM) industry and has become one of the world’s most successful TBM players. It has done so through several large foreign strategic asset related acquisitions (one in France and one in the US). I draw from interviews and hand-collected primary information from the parent firm in China, and the acquired subsidiaries in France, the United States and Germany. I explore in particular pre and post SAS related FDI decision making and integration strategies and behaviours. I identify: (1) Local state ownership as an important factor determining pre-OFDI strategic decision making and post-OFDI integration; (2) The Chinese institutional environment as a potential comparative advantage for LSOEs in negotiating with foreign investment targets or partners; (3) the challenges and responses to post FDI SAS integration for local state-owned Chinese businesses. To date we know relatively little in detail about the ways in which local Chinese MNEs have managed to catch-up with developed market counterparts. This research therefore contributes to our understanding of theories like Mathews’ (2006) ‘LLL’ model, the ‘springboard’ perspective of Luo and Tung (2007), and Chinese OFDI determination theory by Buckley et al. (2007). It also sheds important new light on the institutional perspective, particularly the role of local government in spurring Chinese MNEs (CMNE) OFDI related catch-up.

Full textAbstract:
Through structural social anthropology lens, this thesis explored issues of international joint venture performance measurements and parent company learning through international joint ventures in the context of the Chinese automotive industry. It was a case study of the First Automotive Work FAW, a Chinese state-owned car manufacturing group and its joint venture with German car manufacturing group Volkswagen. Its focus was on the Chinese engineers working in both companies, who are on the frontier of technology transfer and knowledge learning through their work experience of localizing imported technologies. The methodology used was qualitative, primarily interviews, historical and technological background research, participant observation and the researcher’s lived experience of the encounters. The research argues and demonstrates that complexity matters on IJV performance measurements and organizational learning studies; and calls for closer attention to individuals through structural social anthropology theories. It describes in detail the indigenous engineers and managers’ perspective of the learning experience, learning outcomes, the purposes of learning and its relationship to parent companies as independent tribes. It affirms, contends and extends current concepts of IJV performance measurements and indigenous partner learning through IJV. It presents the complexity of how the IJV and its SOE parent company values knowledge and means of learning differently and how it relates to the ecological system of SOE and its IJV. It explores the independent tribalism in FAW-VW and the sacred and profane dichotomy of FAW that had led to the ecological structure of FAW. The thesis presents the structural social anthropology theories of the solidarity, sacred and profane dichotomy and tribalism as solution to some of the issues in current international business literature. It argues that the different ecological system lead to different interpretations of goals at the SOE and IJV. A human model that is useful for a deeper understanding of IJV performance measurements and indigenous parent learning through the social anthropological lens. It also analyzes the complexity of historical and hidden factors such as SOE corruption that contributes to such phenomenon.

Full textAbstract:
O Direito Internacional da Concorrência é o ramo do direito que protege o exercício da liberdade de concorrência. Liberdade esta que, com o desenvolvimento do mundo globalizado, vem sendo atacada pelas multinacionais, causando prejuízo às economias tanto locais quanto internacionais, assim como aos consumidores, se fazendo necessária a intervenção estatal para regulação desses conflitos. Entretanto, emerge um novo conflito quando o Estado detém o controle acionário de uma empresa, como é o caso das empresas estatais. Tal panorama vem se agravando e causando conflitos concorrenciais no cenário global. A China, país em que tradicionalmente o governo detinha controle de todas as empresas nele constituídas, após a abertura de mercado, vem adotando constantes reformas de políticas de mercado com o viés de introduzir a alta tecnologia e expandir as relações comerciais com os demais países do mundo. Hodiernamente, após as reformas comerciais e estruturais das empresas estatais, a China determinou que setores-chave considerados importantes para segurança econômica chinesa serão de controle estatal, isto é, com monopólio estatal. Isto posto, a presente investigação procurou verificar se as empresas estatais chinesas estariam abusando de sua posição dominante para além das fronteiras e infringindo, sobretudo, a própria legislação concorrencial da China, cuja promulgação fora exigida pelos demais membros da Organização Mundial do Comércio. A investigação se dividiu em três partes essenciais: primeiro sobre as transformações econômicas, mercantis, sociais e jurídicas chinesas, principalmente no período posterior ao século XX; na segunda parte, se tratou do direito concorrencial na China, confrontando-o com as empresas estatais; e no último capítulo, foram verificados casos administrativos e judiciais perante os órgãos de regulamentação concorrencial. Pretendeu-se, pelo método dedutivo de pesquisa, verificar se a dicotomia formada entre a proteção governamental às empresas estatais fere a liberdade de um mercado competitivo. Buscou-se, assim, verificar se a atividade das empresas estatais chinesas ocupou fatia relevante de mercado a ponto de abusar da sua posição dominante e se é a China um palco para a aplicação de penalidades, visando à ordem e à liberdade concorrencial. Conclui-se que ocorre tratamento desigual na imposição de penalidades por práticas de abuso de posição dominante quando se tratam de empresas estrangeiras e empresas estatais chinesas. Denotou-se por meio da análise casuística que os esforços dos órgãos de fiscalização concorrencial chineses no combate a práticas anticoncorrenciais são alcançados, até o presente momento, quando versam sobre empresas estrangeiras, enquanto que as empresas estatais recebem tratamento dessemelhante e permissivo às práticas monopolistas.The International Competition Law is the law that protects the freedom of competition. Freedom of which, with the development of the globalized world, comes under attack by multinationals, causing damage to the economies both local and international, as well as consumers, making it necessary the state intervention to regulate these conflicts. However, emerges into a new conflict when the state holds a controlling stake of the company, such as state-owned enterprises. This scenario has been growing worse and causing conflicts competitive on the global stage. China, which traditionally held control of all companies set up in it, after the opening of the market, has been adopting constant market policy reforms with the bias to introduce high technology and expanding trade relations with other countries worldwide. In our times, after trade and structural reforms of state-owned enterprises, China has determined that key sectors of the economy considered important to China's economic security will be of state control. Accordingly, the present investigation sought to ascertain whether chinese state-owned enterprises were abusing their dominant position beyond the borders and in particular violating China's own competition law, which was demanded by the other members of the World Trade Organization The investigation was divided into three essential parts: first on the chinese economic, mercantile, social and legal transformations, mainly in the period after the twentieth century; on the second part, it dealt with competition law in China, confronting it with state enterprises; and in the last chapter, administrative and judicial cases were verified before the regulatory bodies of competition. It was intended, by the deductive method of research, to verify if the dichotomy formed between governmental protection of state-owned enterprises hurts the freedom of a competitive market. It was therefore sought to ascertain whether the activity of Chinese state-owned enterprises occupied a relevant market share to the extent of abusing its dominant position and whether China is a stage for the application of penalties for order and competitive freedom. It is concluded that there is unequal treatment in the imposition of consequences for abuse of dominant positions when dealing with foreign companies and chinese state-owned enterprises. The case-by-case analysis has shown that the efforts of Chinese competition authorities in the fight against anticompetitive practices have so far been reached when dealing with foreign companies, while state-owned enterprises are treated differently and permissively from monopoly practices.

Full textAbstract:
La Chine vit, depuis une vingtaine d’années, une mutation politico-économique sans précédent où les entreprises d’État chinoises (EEC) jouent un rôle de premier plan. L’objet de la recherche s’est fixé sur la proposition d’un modèle capable d’améliorer l’appréhension de la performance des EEC. La problématique consiste donc à cerner les caractéristiques des EEC et leurs besoins afin de proposer un modèle adapté.Pour cela, nous avons étudié en détail les mutations politiques, économiques et juridiques affectant les EEC ainsi que l’introduction des concepts et modèles de management occidentaux à travers la littérature chinoise. Ensuite, nous avons fait ressortir les facteurs de performance à travers la littérature, les rapports officiels du gouvernement à partir d’une étude de contenu et d’une enquête quantitative par questionnaires utilisant l’analyse factorielle.Cela a abouti à un cahier des charges, fondement de notre proposition d’un tableau de bord stratégique durable, fondé sur le modèle des parties prenantes et capable d’intégrer les notions de développement durable, de RSE et d’aménagement du territoireChina has experienced over the last twenty years unprecedented political and economic changes in which state-owned enterprises (SOEs) have played a major role.The purpose of the research focusses on proposing a model capable of improving the understanding of the performance of SOEs. The issue is then to identify the characteristics and the needs of SOEs in order to proposed a model adapted to them.For that purpose we have studied the political, economic and legal changes which have affected SOEs as well as the introduction of Western management concepts and models through the Chinese literature. Then we have outlined the factors of performance through the literature, governmental official reports thanks to a study of content and a quantitative survey thanks to questionnaires using factorial analysis.This has led to specifications, the basis of our proposal of a sustainable strategic dashboard founded on the stakeholder model and capable of integrating the notions of sustainable development, corporate social responsibility and territorial planning
