It analyses how Chinese capitalism has changed under conditions of contemporary globalization and anticipates what the future holds for it. The book challenges the conventional notion of Chinese capitalism as 'crony capitalism' based around kinship networks and untouched by globalization. Yeung argues rather that key actors are capable of taking advantage of their participation in globlization processes to significantly transform the nature and organization of Chinese capitalism in East and Southeast Asia. He concludes that the system that is emerging is neither distinctively Chinese nor converging towards the Anglo-American form of capitalism, but a hybrid of both."--Half title page Book Cover......Page 1 Title......Page 4 Contents......Page 5 List of figures......Page 11 List of tables......Page 12 Preface......Page 15 Hybrid capitalism: demystifying Chinese capitalism......Page 20 The dynamics of Chinese capitalism: globalization and actor-networks......Page 65 The internationalization of Chinese capitalism......Page 102 Transnational entrepreneurship......Page 134 Transformations in social organization......Page 175 Changing corporate governance and strategic management......Page 207 The future of Chinese capitalism......Page 248 Appendix......Page 275 Notes......Page 280 References......Page 286 Index......Page 311 Hybrid Capitalism : Demystifying Chinese Capitalism -- The Dynamics Of Chinese Capitalism : Globalization And Actor-networks -- The Internationalization Of Chinese Capitalism -- Transnational Entrepreneurship -- Transformations In Social Organization -- Changing Corporate Governance And Strategic Management -- The Future Of Chinese Capitalism.
