Book Synopsis Small Family Business in Hong Kong by : Catherine C. H. Chiu
Download or read book Small Family Business in Hong Kong written by Catherine C. H. Chiu and published by Chinese University Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the relationship between work and family in small family business in Hong Kong, based on data obtained from in-depth interviews on married couples running small retail shops. It was found that despite the perceived advantage of flexibility, running a small family business did not necessarily result in a working pattern compatible with family needs. In studies on small family business, the contribution by the wives was often overlooked. This book pays special attention to the part played by women in the setting up and running of small family business. This book will be a useful reference for people interested in qualitative sociology, small business studies, family studies and women's studies.
Book Synopsis Family Business in China, Volume 2 by : Ling Chen
Download or read book Family Business in China, Volume 2 written by Ling Chen and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-09-04 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike other economies, family businesses in China are greatly affected by the derived Confucian culture, excessive marketization, as well as the seemingly endless institutional supervision by a transitional Chinese government. China has a strong historical legacy, devoted to patriarchal values and strong family-centered traditions. This volume discusses the current status, upcoming challenges, and future prospects for family businesses in China. It explores unique organizational characteristics that are associated with Chinese family firms, such as being entrepreneurial, having concentrated power in the hands of the family business owners, and extensive family and semi-family involvement in the business. It also discusses shared features of strategic actions among Chinese family firms that include technology innovations, diversification, and internationalization, as well as the political connections that Chinese family firms often have. This book offers researchers a comprehensive overview of small family firms that are likely to be home-based microenterprises as well as large publicly traded business groups that are frequently owned by business families.

Book Synopsis Tradition and Transformation in a Chinese Family Business by : Heung-Wah Wong
Download or read book Tradition and Transformation in a Chinese Family Business written by Heung-Wah Wong and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-12-05 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family businesses have been an important part of the economy in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, and in the Chinese diaspora, and, since the reforms, in mainland China itself. Some people have argued that the success of Chinese family businesses occurs because of the special characteristics and approach of such businesses. This book examines the nature of Chinese family business and the key issues involved by exploring in detail the case of a leading Hong Kong jewellery company which was established in the early 1960s and which has grown to become one of the biggest jewellery manufacturers, exporters, and retailers in post-war Hong Kong. The book considers the motivations of Chinese people to set up their own businesses, outlining the strategies adopted, including the strategies for raising capital, and the qualities of successful Chinese entrepreneurs. It discusses the management of the company, including relations between family members, profit sharing and succession planning, and assesses how conflict and crises are coped with and overcome. It charts the evolution of the company, looking at how it has been transformed into a listed corporation. The book concludes by arguing for the importance of studying Chinese family businesses culturally.

Book Synopsis Family Business and Corporate Governance in Hong Kong by : Angus Young
Download or read book Family Business and Corporate Governance in Hong Kong written by Angus Young and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Hong Kong is a global metropolitan city and a former British colony. Beneath its modern outlook and Western influences, many inhabitants of Hong Kong with Chinese ancestry still held on to traditional Chinese values and customs. As such, it would be a mistake to think that the laws transplanted from Britain to Hong Kong have been unproblematic. Then again, this does not mean that the local Chinese reject or oppose the transplanted laws outright. Rather, the differences in the value systems embedded in the laws and the local Chinese culture have created some ideological tensions. Such is the case for the directors of Chinese family wholly owned and operated companies in the territory. Whilst the transplanted British company laws might suit non-family and public companies with diverse share ownership structure, this is not the case for Chinese family companies. Instead, directors of these types of compliance comply with a normative order emanating from Chinese values and norms rooted in Confucianism. Yet the incongruences between legal duties and Chinese norms mean that it is not simply a matter of amending the law to incorporate the Chinese values because the divide between the two is impossible to bridge. This book not only examines why the transplanted directors' duties are inappropriate for these companies, it recommends that a separate self-regulated regime for Chinese family companies should be established. Critics might argue that this gap in corporate governance regulation had not created upheavals in Hong Kong, so there is no urgency in changing status quo. But if we look closer the lack of regulation for Chinese family companies had not been trouble free as a growing number of cases have shown that it has adversely affected the workings of these companies. Governance problems usually emerge when tensions within families are unresolved, and in the worst-case scenario, fen jia (division of assets leading to liquidation) occurs. Given that Hong Kong has an estimated half a million Chinese family companies, this regulatory oversight could negatively impact on the territory's spirit of entrepreneurialism. Therefore, this monograph advocates that the informal network of Chinese family businesses should band together and adapt Chinese value system to resolve an essentially Chinese regulatory problem." -- book cover.
Book Synopsis The Successful Chinese Family Businesses by : Joey Kong Man Ng
Download or read book The Successful Chinese Family Businesses written by Joey Kong Man Ng and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-10-03 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Well-being’ is a contemporary term used by people around the globe to address how comfortable their lives are. The notion is considered significant to business management. Nevertheless, is well-being significant to Chinese family business? In response to this inquiry, this book demystifies the notion from a critical lens. It examines well-being in a Chinese family business context of Hong Kong. This book consists of an archaeological and anthropological examination. The first part of the analysis draws from Foucault’s (1979) Archaeology of Knowledge to examine the discursive (trans)formation of well-being. The second part is an ethnography that focuses on a Chinese perspective regarding the everydayness of life. In light of the recent social movements, this book not only offers an insight into the core values of Hong Kongers, but also dissects various layers of meaning in these values. Hopefully, this book can lift up the voices of Hong Kongers, who was once marginalised in the discourse of well-being.

Book excerpt: As one of the most significant and original cross-cultural analyses of the distinctive language and culture of the internet, this book offers an exciting and original critique of the futuristic synthesis of the linguistic, visual, spatial and digital dimensions which characterise the world of the internet. Recognising that information technology and languages and cultures of the internet continue to expand almost exponentially, the authors provide a timely analysis of the themes and key concepts necessary for understanding the new languages of the internet. The book is organised around four interrelated themes: ‘The languages of cyberspace’, ‘New literacies’, ‘Gaming and socialising’, and ‘Culture and communities in cyberspace’. The authors build on the new tech-discourses and tech-cultures of the internet. Internationally acclaimed authors examine the cultural dimensions of cyberlanguage, screen reading and critical literacy, negotiating the web, literacy and technology, pedagogy of ‘edu-tainment’, children and CD-Rom technology, identity and mobile phones, cyberself and identity on the internet, and the new literacies of blogging and SMS messaging. This insightful and provocative study demonstrates the profound effects of information technology on the evolving global cultures and subcultures, caused by these new forms of thinking, perceiving and communication. Cyberlines 2.0: Languages and cultures of the internet is an essential text for teachers, students, IT professionals, media analysts, and marketing directors.
