The goal of this seminar is to situate those organizational phenomena with so-called “Chinese characteristics” in broader social, historical and intellectual contexts. For this purpose, issues related to Chinese organizations and management, broadly defined, are examined from three lenses: comparative, historical, and organization theory. Weekly readings and discussions aim at in-depth probe of a series of organizational phenomena in the Chinese society—authority relationships and social relations in the workplace, government bureaucracies, central-local government relationships, social mobilization and collective action, among others.
