`This bibliography will be appreciated, and, I am sure, widely consulted by international business scholars.

Dunning, University of Reading, UK and Rutgers University, US

This unique annotated bibliography contains the most important studies of the Chinese business environment, comprising almost 1000 references to articles published in English-language journals in the past fifteen years or so. The editors have sought to focus on those writings that deal fairly directly with the impact of the Chinese business environment on foreign firms doing business in China. Each work is fully referenced in a standard format, has a brief description of its subject matter and has been given a classification code - ensuring quick and easy identification of all articles on any given subject.

The indexes include a joint author index and a subject classification index which make the bibliography easily navigable and usable. There is also an introduction by the editors explaining the rationale behind the book and the selection criteria, along with a description of how it may be used most efficiently.

This book will serve as an invaluable reference book for scholars and researchers of Asian studies - China most particularly - and international business. Senior executives and middle level managers of multinational corporations who have been operating in, or who wish to do business in and with China would also find this a useful and rich source of information.
