Globalizing China: The Influence, Strategies and Successes of Chinese Returnee Entrepreneurs

EditorsDr Huiyao Wang, China Western Returned Scholars Association, China

SynopsisIn recent years, a new spectacular group of entrepreneurs in China called Chinese Returnee Entrepreneurs (CREs) has emerged. Not only have they contributed enormously to the rapid growth of the Chinese economy, but they also have connected China to the outside world in today’s globalized economy. This book examines the literature on the returnee phenomena and assesses the impact and influence of CREs. This is the first major empirical study to evaluate the impact of CREs in the Chinese globalization process. It examines the roles, drivers, strategies, and performances of CREs on environment-strategy linkages in a strong emerging economy. The research highlights the significance of strategies, drivers, constraints, and performance relations for CREs success in shaping their operational framework in China. The findings of this study suggest that CREs have become a driving force in Chinese globalization, dominating the internet, IT and media industries. They have become leading players in the Chinese hi-tech industries, as well as the best team players and social capital users of international guanxi. The study reveals that CREs’ competitive advantages lie in their strategies utilizing technology, team work, market approach, social connections, professional qualifications, and international working experience.

Exploring Criminal and Illegal Enterprise: New Perspectives on Research, Policy & Practice Contemporary Issues in Entrepreneurship ResearchVolume 5

EditorsGerard McElwee, Sheffield Hallam University, UKRobert Smith, Robert Gordon University, UK

SynopsisThis book examines the illegal behaviour of entrepreneurs and discusses how criminal entrepreneurs acquire information, learn from their entrepreneurial experiences, and utilize acquired knowledge to develop their organizations.

New Technology-Based Firms in the New Millennium New Technology-Based Firms in the New MillenniumVolume 11

EditorsAard Groen, University of Twente, The NetherlandsGary Cook, University of Liverpool, UKPeter van der Sijde, VU University Amsterdam, The Netherlands

SynopsisThe latest edition of this international edited book series, based on the formation and growth problems of High Technology Small Firms (HTSF), contains the best papers presented at the 2011 and 2013 conferences, both held at Manchester Business School. This volume remains true to the initial mission of the HTSF Conference, established in 1993, to advance our knowledge of high-technology entrepreneurship and to advocate the need for more and better designed policy to promote such entrepreneurship. The need is as great as ever it was, not least given the continued economic stagnation of the European economy in the wake of the Financial Crisis and the Euro crisis. The papers in this volume address key themes relating to improving our understanding of the processes involved in high-technology entrepreneurship and of the design of effective policy to promote this research. The first two groups of papers examine the start-up and commercialization processes and the internationalization processes, which are often important for new high-technology businesses. Other papers examine topics like entrepreneurship clusters, inter-firm collaboration, and growth strategy for high-technology small firms.

The Emergence of Entrepreneurial Economics Research on Technological Innovation, Management and Policy Volume 9

EditorsG.T. Vinig

R.C.W. van der Voort

Robert Burgelman

Henry Cheesbrough

SynopsisIf entrepreneurship remains as important to the economy as ever, then the continuing failure of mainstream economics to adequately account for entrepreneurship indicates that fundamental principles require re-evaluation. It seems no longer possible to expect that only theoretical refinements and extending known principles can provide for a theory of entrepreneurship.

This book contributes to the emergence of the entrepreneurial economics field, or school of thought, in which the study of patterns in the complex, seemingly chaotic and unpredictable process of entrepreneurship and its role in the economy stands central. Its articles provide interesting new ideas and insights on a theory of entrepreneurship in the economy (W.J. Baumol, D.B. Audretsch, A.V. Bhide) in Part One, and interesting recent research on entrepreneurship in Part Two.
