Reviews

It covers an interesting range of topics within and outside the realm of economics as such, such the impact on managers and workers, as well as on human resource management and trade unions, amongst others.]...[The work is clearly-written, will have somewhat wider readership on campus and is one might say appropriate for both an undergraduate and postgraduate audience, even possibly of some potential appeal to MBA students. - Malcolm Warner, Asia Pacific Business Review, 2010 This book is a welcome addition to the macro-economic studies of China's 30 years of economic reform. It sets out to illustrate how economic reform has driven changes in management systems and employment relations and how such changes have influenced the performance of enterprises, worker satisfaction and workers' households and livelihoods. The detailed survey data and statistical analysis mean the book achieves this goal in great detail... As it stands, the work will largely be of interest to comparative scholars of human resource management and employment relations and to comparative economists interested in a closer appraisal of China's market-oriented economic reforms. - Jason Young, Victoria University of Wellington; New Zealand Journal of Asian Studies, 13.1 (June 2011)
