'This book addresses a pressing issue: understanding labor relations and human resource management not from a universalistic perspective, but by closely relating these areas of practice to the national context of China. Building from a historical perspective, the book explains the nature of the employment relationship and how this is managed based on Chinese values and institutions. Moreover, we see how this has developed with the increasing influence of investments by foreign-owned firms in China. Overall, the picture is one of a series of economic and labor market reforms and changing cultural values that are instigating change at organization level in the employment relationship.' — Elaine Farndale, Associate Professor, School of Labor and Employment Relations, Pennsylvania State University
