Entrepreneurial and Business Elites of China: The Chinese Returnees who have Shaped Modern China
Editors: Wenxian Zhang, Huiyao Wang and Ilan Alon
ISBN: 9780857240897
Price: £67.95/€97.95/$124.95
Forthcoming: May 2011
Synopsis
This important reference title focuses exclusively on the elite entrepreneurs of new China and contains more than 100 substantial profiles of top overseas returnees who have made noteworthy contributions to the Chinese economy since the reform era began in 1978. A returnee is defined as a Chinese native who was born in China, left to study overseas as a student, visiting scholar or guest researcher for over one year, and has returned to China to work on a permanent basis.
This unique collection gives comprehensive, up-to-date coverage on notable business leaders that have reshaped the country’s economic landscapes and played an active role on the social and political stages, and provides a research tool that can be easily accessed by students, librarians, business professionals and anyone interested to learn more about the country’s economy and its key players.
Reviews
“Observing the rising tide of the Chinese economy, it is easy to forget it is driven by human talent as much as by global trends, government policies, and firm strategies. This book “brings back” a critical human element -- the Chinese returnee, who serves as a conduit for the transfer of technology, know-how, and business practices. It is difficult to fathom the rise of China without attending to this growing human stream which will continue to play a major role in the country’s transformation”.
Dr. Oded Shenkar, Ford Motor Company Chair, Fisher College of Business, Ohio State University
“By focusing more in particular on the role of talent circulation in the global economy, this book adds a very welcome perspective to the study of Chinese business elites. It is recommended reading to anybody interested in the Chinese economy and globalization.”
Dr. Andrea Goldstein, Senior Economist, OECD
“This is a fascinating book…highly recommended”
Mr. Haipeng Li, Executive Director, Chinese American Librarians Association

Social and Sustainable EntrepreneurshipAdvances in Entrepreneurship, Firm Emergence and Growth, Volume 13
Volume Editors: G.T. Lumpkin and Jerome A. Katz
ISBN: 9781780520728
Price: £77.95/€113.95/$144.95
Forthcoming: July 2011
Synopsis
Volume 13 of Advances in Entrepreneurship, Firm Emergence, and Growth will consider the timely issues of social and sustainable entrepreneurship. The chapters consider in depth the issues, problems, contexts, and processes that make entrepreneurial enterprises more social and/or sustainable. Top researchers from a diverse set of perspectives have contributed their latest research on a variety of topics such as the role of entrepreneurial bricolage in generating innovations in a social context (Gundry, Kickul, Griffins, Bacq) and emerging themes in social entrepreneurship education (Thiru). Several chapters tackle lingering definitional issues such as the distinctions between social, sustainable, and environmental entrepreneurship (Dean, Sarason, Neenan), or propose social entrepreneurship research agendas based on key research questions found in prior studies (Gras, Mosakowski, Lumpkin). There are brief histories of social change and their entrepreneurial implications (Kucher; Summers), and frameworks for studying different types of social and sustainable entrepreneurship (Lichtenstein). Each of the chapters, in its own way, addresses the progress and promise of social and sustainable entrepreneurship as a future research domain of growing interest and importance.
