Book Synopsis Ownership and Control in Outsourcing to China by : Robert C. Feenstra
Download or read book Ownership and Control in Outsourcing to China written by Robert C. Feenstra and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this paper, we develop a simple model of international outsourcing and apply it to processing trade in China. We observe China's processing exports broken down by who owns the plant and by who controls the inputs the plant processes. Multinational firms engaged in export processing in China tend to split factory ownership and input control with managers in China: the most common outcome is to have foreign factory ownership but Chinese control over input purchases. To account for this organizational arrangement, we appeal to a property-rights model of the firm. Multinational firms and the Chinese factory managers with whom they contract divide the surplus associated with export processing by Nash bargaining. Investments in input search, production, and marketing are partially relationship specific. In our benchmarks estimates, this relationship specificity is lowest in southern coastal provinces, where export markets are thickest, and highest in interior and northern provinces. The probability contracts are enforced has a similar pattern and is the lowest along the southern coast and the highest in the north"--NBER website

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on China's fast-growing outward foreign direct investment (ODI) and discusses the underlying causes and profound effects of Chinese enterprises’ “going global.” The book includes eight chapters to analyze the basic characteristics of China's ODI manufacturing enterprises, examine the relationship between enterprise productivity and ODI, investigate the differences between state-owned enterprises and private enterprises in factor market, enterprise ownership and investment, analyze the overall effect of the foreign direct investment (FDI) and thereby the China–US bilateral investment treaties (BIT) on Chinese manufacturing sector in terms of productivity and profitability of the firms. The last chapter provides an overview of China’s three stages of economic reform and opening-up policy in the past four decades, and analyzes the reasons for China’s realization of the splendid economic achievements within such a short time and the main driving forces of China’s incremental international trade in different stages, and discusses the future tasks that would promote the country into a new stage of all-round opening-up. The book aims to illustrate the evolution of China’s opening-up design during the past decades and discuss several most important measures to build an all-around opening-up strategy.

Book Synopsis Designing and Controlling the Outsourced Supply Chain by : Andy a. Tsay
Download or read book Designing and Controlling the Outsourced Supply Chain written by Andy a. Tsay and published by Now Publishers. This book was released on 2014-06-30 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All organizations outsource. They differ only in the scope and extent of what they procure as goods and services from outside entities. These choices drive an organization's financial performance and long-term competitive viability, and establish the tenor of day-to-day operations. Outsourcing can solve many problems, but is also fraught with hidden costs and risks. This monograph examines outsourcing from a lifecycle perspective. This means tracing the full arc from the germination of the idea to outsource, to the assessment of options, to the installation of control mechanisms, to grappling with conflicts that inevitably arise over time, all the way to the sunset of the chosen strategy. The analysis is highly attentive to the details of operational execution, especially regarding how human resources participate in these decision processes and are impacted by the choices made.
Download or read book Fast Boat to China written by Andrew Ross and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2006-04-04 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most Americans today are aware that jobs are being outsourced to China, India, and other nations at an alarming rate. From factory jobs to white-collar, high-tech positions, the exporting of labor is one of the most controversial issues in America.Yet few people know much about the other end — about the people who are actually working these jobs and how their own lives have been throw into tumult by these new economic forces. Andrew Ross spent a year in China, interviewing local employees and their managers in Taiwan, Shanghai, and the far western provinces. In this engaging and informative book, he shows how the Chinese workforce has inherited many of the same worries as American workers, such as job instability, long hours, and awareness of their own expendability. He reports on the daily reality of corporate free trade and explores the growing competition between China and India. This is an eye-opening exploration of an unseen side of our globalized world.
Book Synopsis Cross-Border Outsourcing and Boundaries of Japanese Firms by : Eiichi Tomiura
Download or read book Cross-Border Outsourcing and Boundaries of Japanese Firms written by Eiichi Tomiura and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-06-26 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first book that provides comprehensive economic analysis of cross-border outsourcing by Japanese manufacturing firms based on microdata. Previous literature on many other countries has often been constrained by limited data availability about outsourcing, but research contained in this book exploits unique firm-level data and directly tests theoretical hypotheses derived from new firm heterogeneity trade models. Productivity, capital–labor ratio and R&D intensity are examined at the firm level. While rich empirical results in this book convince us how powerful the orthodox economic theory is in understanding Japanese firms, detailed firm-level findings, combined with accessible and concise overviews of Japanese international trade, are widely informative for international economists, experts of Japanese society, business strategists for offshoring, and policy makers in both developed and developing economies. This book further discusses how boundaries of Japanese firms, traditionally sheltered by language and cultural barriers, are affected by outsourcing decisions simultaneously crossing national borders and firm boundaries. The interpretations of Japanese characteristics in outsourcing have deep implications for understanding drastically changing Japanese business amid globalization.

Download or read book Reality Check written by Daniel Ford and published by Daniel Ford. This book was released on 2024-03-07 with total page 890 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Revised and re-published) Daniel Ford has spent half his life uncovering an agenda by what he calls a global cult to enslave humanity on every level. In Daniel Ford’s first book, Paper View: In Print, a nightmare agenda of total human control and manipulation affecting every area of human life was laid-out and detailed. Ford takes the story further and deeper in Reality Check and reveals the ultimate controllers of our world and why their agenda exists at all. Reality Check is best read alongside Paper View: in Print to allow the full complex picture of humanity’s plight to be seen in its entirety. Many of the changes in society since 2020 were predicted in Paper View: In Print because once you know the global agenda and its structure and method of imposition, calling the future is very simple. “Reality Check” places current events into their true context and explains humanity’s plight with rare clarity and simplicity. The central premise of Reality Check is to question everything right down to the nature of reality itself which is detailed extensively in this blockbuster new book. Never before in human history has testing our own perceptions been more necessary, and in this extraordinary new book over 860 pages, Ford challenges the reader to reassess their perception of reality and everything they thought they knew. Only by doing so, Ford contends, do we stand a chance of living in a world of health, freedom and prosperity which, he says in an upbeat conclusion, is within our grasp if we only choose to take it. How do we claim this new world of respect for humanity? The answers are in Reality Check and you might be surprised by just how simple and achievable they are and how quickly they can be realised. In an era of cancel culture and ever-increasing censorship, Reality Check is the most explosive and controversial book of modern times, not only due to its content but also the environment into which it is published. Daniel Ford has had the courage to write it. Do you have the courage to read it? Prepare for a perception reboot that will stretch your current worldview to breaking point… The book also features 364 pages demolishing the Covid-19 hoax including 142 pages exposing the Covid-19 vaccine crime against humanity. Why do people think what they do? How do we see the world? How are we manipulated to see the world and current events? Reality Check dives deep into the human psyche to examine human perception and how to set our minds, and therefore our world, free. The book explores how human perception is formed, maintained and perpetuated and thus provides the ultimate answer to true freedom. Daniel Ford reveals the mechanisms of mass manipulation and control and thus the keys to set ourselves free. We live in extraordinary times, and face the most enormous challenge to our individual and collective freedom. We either stand up now and take back our perceptions to take back our freedom or stay silent and regret it forever with the children and grandchildren of today taking the consequences. It’s time for a Reality Check!!

Book Synopsis An Analysis of State-Owned Enterprises and State Capitalism in China by : Andrew Szamosszegi
Download or read book An Analysis of State-Owned Enterprises and State Capitalism in China written by Andrew Szamosszegi and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2011-10-26 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China's breathtaking economic growth, has often led observers to assume that the country's economic system has been transformed into a capitalist economy dominated by private enterprise. Although China's reliance on private enterprise and market-based incentives has been growing, and the CCP's treatment of private enterprises and entrepreneurs has been changing, it would be a mistake to minimize the current role of the State and the CCP in shaping economic outcomes in China and beyond. The Chinese government and state-owned enterprises (SOEs) remain potent economic forces. Indeed, some of China's SOEs are among the largest firms in China and the world. They are major investors in foreign countries. They have been involved in some of the largest initial public offerings in recent years and remain the controlling owners of many major firms listed on Chinese and foreign stock exchanges.
Book Synopsis China's Growing Role in World Trade by : Robert C. Feenstra
Download or read book China's Growing Role in World Trade written by Robert C. Feenstra and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-03-10 with total page 603 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In less than three decades, China has grown from playing a negligible role in international trade to being one of the world's largest exporters, a substantial importer of raw materials, intermediate outputs, and other goods, and both a recipient and source of foreign investment. Not surprisingly, China's economic dynamism has generated considerable attention and concern in the United States and beyond. While some analysts have warned of the potential pitfalls of China's rise—the loss of jobs, for example—others have highlighted the benefits of new market and investment opportunities for US firms. Bringing together an expert group of contributors, China's Growing Role in World Trade undertakes an empirical investigation of the effects of China's new status. The essays collected here provide detailed analyses of the microstructure of trade, the macroeconomic implications, sector-level issues, and foreign direct investment. This volume's careful examination of micro data in light of established economic theories clarifies a number of misconceptions, disproves some conventional wisdom, and documents data patterns that enhance our understanding of China's trade and what it may mean to the rest of the world.

Book Synopsis Please Pass the Catch-up by : Bruce Blonigen
Download or read book Please Pass the Catch-up written by Bruce Blonigen and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreign-invested enterprises (FIEs) account for well over half of all Chinese exports and this share continues to grow. While the substantial presence of FIEs has contributed greatly to the recent export-led growth of China, an important objective of the Chinese government is to ultimately obtain foreign technologies and develop their own technological capabilities domestically. This paper uses detailed data on Chinese exports by sector and type of enterprise to examine the extent to which domestic enterprises are "keeping up" or even "catching up" to FIEs in the volume, composition and quality of their exports. We also use a newly-created dataset on Chinese policies encouraging or restricting FIEs across sectors to examine the extent to which such policies can affect the evolving composition of Chinese exports.
