Chinese Big Business and the Wealth of Asian Nations examines the
crucial contribution of Chinese business groups to the rapid growth of
South-East Asia. This study examines major Chinese firms and their
increasingly important networks in this era of regional interdependence
and internationalization of production processes. The book draws upon
unprecedented empirical detail relating to Chinese firms, their growth
patterns, joint ventures with foreign capital and responses to
technological change and competition and contributes to debates on
economic networks, the economics of trust and relations between business
and the state in the global economy.
