China has become the driving engine for the world economy and presents many opportunities for foreign firms. Although much research effort has been devoted to studying strategic management in Chinese organisations, China is still one of the least studied countries. This paper takes a new approach - complexity view - to examining the strategic management in Chinese organisations. It aims to explain why Chinese managers behave differently to their Western counterparts. To do so, literature on the complexity studies is firstly reviewed and synthesised. This paper then examines how institutional and cultural settings and Chinese history influence the strategic management in Chinese organisations. Finally, several managerial implications based on the results of this paper are suggested.

There's higher demand for workers than we've had students to take on those positions," says Kinnear. "A large chunk of running any business is making sure you've got what you need, where you need it and when you need it," she says. "There's such a huge need to get things into place to run your operations for these huge (oilsands) projects. "Alberta is a hot market right now, B.C. is one and Saskatchewan will probably be the next one, but we have strategies to get people from the Atlantic provinces, Quebec, Ontario. We're looking at foreign workers -- anything to help us meet our growth strategy," says [Paul Wajda].

Career exploration is especially relevant in the context of involuntary job loss as it is usually triggered during times of transition and unexpected events and allows individuals to adjust to a set of shifting challenges (Flum & Blustein, 2000; Hall, 1986; Taveira & Moreno, 2003). To that extent it may be understood as a coping mechanism involving the collection of information about the self (self-exploration) and the environment (environmental exploration) relevant to the progress of one's career (Blustein, 1997; Jordan, 1963; [Stumpf, S.A.], Collareli, & Hartman, 1983). Self-exploration then, involves exploring one's own interests, values, and experiences in order to reflect on one's career and obtain a deeper understanding of oneself. Environmental exploration involves e...

Rewards systems are one of the most significant issues of the human resource management. Throughout the literature, it is obvious that theorists and academics, as well as practitioners and managers emphasize the important factor of rewards. Additionally, job satisfaction is another crucial term within the same body of literature. Job satisfaction is likely to provide employees of all levels with feelings of fulfillment, achievement and even pleasure for their job. Thus, such feelings can make people more productive, creative and therefore more profitable for the organization. Furthermore, feelings of job satisfaction can strengthen the commitment and loyalty of employees with the organization, which is very necessary in present times where all firms are looking for competitive advantage...

This paper aims to examine the dynamic relationship between informal controls and formal control in the context of public sector outsourcing and explores whether informal controls have a role to play in public sector outsourcing and what implications this has for the role of trust and accountability of the public service. This paper uses two case studies to examine these questions and concludes that while it is necessary for formal controls to dominate the selection stages of outsourcing for accountability and transparency reasons, informal or looser controls can play an important role in the implementation of the outsourcing relationship.

Looking at the questions in our survey, we find five areas with significant gaps between the Young Guns and the Old Guard. Some of these items are life cycle or "career cycle" issues. For example, "I believe my career aspiration can be achieved at this organization" has a very different relevance for someone approaching the end of a career than when they are at the start or in the middle. Others (e.g., My senior management values the work procurement professionals do) continue the theme raised last time about the general perception of procurement in the larger business environment. The most critical item from our perspective, however, is the one that says, "At work, I have the opportunity to do what I do best every day." The Young Guns clearly do not find the work environment as rewardi...

Despite the fact that China has emerged as a driving force of the world economy over the last decade, little research has been undertaken into how Chinese firms strategically manage their businesses. This paper develops a theoretical framework of strategic management in the Chinese firms through reviewing and synthesising five strategic perspectives that are relevant to the Chinese context: the Industry Structure View (ISV), Resources-Based View (RBV), Institutional View (IV), Relational View (RV), and Stakeholder View (SHV). We elaborate the relevance of the SHV in the Chinese context and its relationships with other strategic perspectives. Finally, we offer several managerial and research implications based on the theoretical framework developed.
