There is a shortage of competent business leaders at a time when new leadership skills are urgently required, as China’s businesses rapidly evolve and engage more with the global economy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMoreover, the book suggests that training is an undervalued and often marginalised activity in Chinese companies. It outlines the nature of this problem and demonstrates the emergence of a new breed of manager in China. These managers are aware of the need to upgrade management skills, moving away from those suited to traditional industrial firms, and emphasising more flexibility, positive engagement with workers, and competence in the market economy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBusiness Leadership Development in China\u003c\/i\u003e includes an evaluation of different management approaches in China.
