D. Special Call for Papers
LEARNING FOR EARNING IN CHINA:
KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT FOR INVESTMENT INTO THE ADVANCING MARKET
CALL FOR PAPERS
A SPECIAL DOUBLE ISSUE OF THE JOURNAL OF EAST-WEST BUSINESS (ROUTLEDGE) Edited by Val Samonis, et al.
Foreword
For over a generation, China has been implementing reforms and advancing firmly towards a modern market economy (mixed economy) based on the growing middle class. While still nominally an “emerging market” of the East, it occupies a special place as a G-2 country since the onset of this Great Recession globally. This is a Call for Papers for the Special Double Issue of the Journal of East-West Business (JEWB). Published by Routledge, JEWB is a globally established and acclaimed scholarly journal centered on the East-West business issues.
Thematic Cluster
This Issue will be devoted to diverse modern approaches and strategies to learning and managing knowledge needed to successfully invest in China in the longer term. So far global investors into China are rather traditionally short-term oriented and pursue shallow approaches, more so than in other countries. While some business opportunities with China can be tapped using just traditional business textbook methods, deeper and more lucrative opportunities necessitate dedication to learning and managing the changing knowledge for substantial longer-term earning strategies. These strategies are becoming available as the Chinese middle class advances in both quantities and qualities. As such, the issue will be addressing the knowledge needs of a whole spectrum of interested readers: from international business (esp. foreign investment) theorists to hands-on practitioners.
Submission of Manuscripts
Using modern methods of knowledge management, online collaboration, manuscript submission, and double-blind refereeing, papers will be solicited from among the participants of the “2010 TNCs and China” International Conference to be held in Xi’an, China, August 26-28, 2010.
