The Chinese are difficult to manage

Harold Chee and Chris West

Chapter Myth 10 in Myths about doing business in China, 2007, pp 125-138 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Chinese employees lack imagination, are inefficient, stupid (etc.). They have been featherbedded by years of Communism, which flattered their collective class vanity while at the same time smothering any capacity any particular individual might have had for initiative and responsibility.
