"Rather than just an up-to-date picture of China’s workplaces, the editors challenge the historical and comparative perspectives that have dominated the literature... For researchers with an interest in China’s workplaces, in all their variety, the book is a key resource to guide future exploration into how these new developments may affect work, employment relations and the management of people in China. The book successfully integrates dynamism at institutional and organizational levels with the sectoral disparity and regional diversity emerging in China’s workplaces. The research that is presented provides vivid case studies for students and policy advisors who wish to engage with China’s changing workplaces". - Zhi Li, Griffith University; Journal of Industrial Relations, March 2012."In this timely and important book, the authors investigate the diversity and dynamism of China's workplace and the wider labour market, including the experiences of its workforce... This book has made some unique contributions to the current debate and in particular the research surrounding China's transition in general and management of labour... The overall presentation of the book is excellent and I believe readers will benefit from reading this book, due to its clever analyis and meaningful reflections." - Ying Zhu, University of South Australia; Asia Pacific Business Review, 2012."This book offers timely and valuable information about a country where workplace changes are unique, unprecedented, and highly relevant to people and organisations both inside and outside of China... Overall, the authors have acquitted themselves well. The book enhances understanding of a wide range of changes in the workplace in contemporary China, especially in its illumination of the impact of reforms to the economic and institutional environment... The extensive referencing and index of the book encompasses major themes and theories in China-related literature. It probably warrants ‘essential’ status as a resource for those studying the impact of Chinese economic reforms from the various perspectives of courses in HRM, industrial relations, and employee relations." - Cherrie Jiuhua Zhu, Monash University; The Economic and Labour Relations Review, Vol 23., 2012.
