<i>’I was once approached by a colleague with the question, 'You're an expert on China, right?' My reply was, 'No, I don't think anyone is an expert on China'. This book is essential study for those travelling in that direction.’</i>

- Romie Frederik Littrell, Journal of International Business,

<i>The book serves us by collecting and examining an enormous amount of organizational studies that address management, leadership, organizational development and psychology. . . Bravo to the ground staff for the enormous amount of preparatory work and guidance they have provided in this volume, enabling and encouraging us to launch out on new explorations.’</i>

- George Simons, Dialogin,

<i>’[T]he </i>Handbook of Chinese Organizational Behavior<i>, edited by Xu Huang and Michael Harris Bond, is among the best books on Chinese organizational behavior that I have read in recent years. It is a timely book, filling the huge gap between management practice and research in Chinese societies.’</i>

- Danny Wedding, PsycCritiques,

This state-of-the-art Handbook encompasses theoretical and empirical research on Chinese organizational behavior over the last two decades of its renaissance, with prominent scholars providing critical reviews of empirical studies in Chinese societies on 14 important topics.

This comprehensive Handbook explores limitations and challenges arising from attempts to develop indigenous theories and constructs applicable to Chinese social reality. Key contributors integrate the literature in their topic areas, providing directions for pushing forward the frontiers of research into a more culturally sensitive and powerful representation of Chinese organizational behavior. Areas examined include emotional intelligence, creativity and motivation, leadership, team conflicts, trust, power and business ethics. Experienced practitioner input is included.

Scholars interested in research on international business and Chinese work behaviors and their effective management will find much of value in this compilation. Students of management, including organizational behavior, human resource management, strategic management, and international management will also find information and guidance that will prove invaluable as will practitioners who have business connections in China and other Chinese societies.
