Abstract:
As China's economy grows and government restrictions decrease, the opportunities presented to multinational corporations change. By comparing selected elements of Chinese relationship networks (work and business relationships; personal relationships) from Jiang (2003) with selected corporate organizational dynamics (architecture; routines; culture) from Saloner (2001), a set of practical considerations is produced for product managers when developing business strategy in China. Examples of relationship networks and organizational dynamics are derived from selected literature, published between 1994-2005.
