Description

China has made a rapid economic growth since 1978, and this largely attributed to the effective use of “foreign advanced experiences”. The government had initiated a nationwide management learning program and aggressively imported management thoughts and methods from the western developed countries and Japan in the 1970s and 1980s.How these “experiences” functioned and created China’s economic surge is not well explained. So, this paper tries to answer the question of how management leaning proceeded in the observed period, and how might it influence China’s management development. By observing the state-led learning process from1978-1990, this paper finds out (1) the U.S. and Japan transferred different management contents to China, (2) a top-down and a divergent transfer route formed a dynamic foreign management leaning mechanism, (3) which contributed to the pervasiveness of management in the SOEs and shaped an early form of management education and training in China.
