Ideologically, the government would not promote private-ownership firms and instead created a hybrid concept, that of \"nongovernmental enterprises\" or minying qiye. Adam Segal examines the minying experience, particularly in high technology, in four key regions: Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an, and Guangzhou.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMinying enterprises have been neither clear successes nor abject failures, Segal finds. Instead, outcomes varied: though efforts to create a core of innovative high-tech firms succeeded in Beijing, minying enterprises elsewhere have languished. He points to variations in local implementation of government policies on investment, property-rights regulation, and government supervision as a key to the different outcomes. He explains these peculiarities of implementation by putting official decisions within their local contexts. Extending his analysis, he compares the experience of creating technology enterprises in China with those of Korea (the chaebol system) and Taiwan (enterprise groups).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on interviews with entrepreneurs and local government officials, as well as numerous published primary sources, \u003ci\u003eDigital Dragon\u003c\/i\u003e is the first detailed look at a major Chinese institutional experiment and at high-tech endeavors in China. Can China become a true global economic power? The evolution of the high- technologies sector will determine, Segal says, whether China will become a modern economy or simply a large one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adam Segal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 080143985X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801439858\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornell University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.96h x 6.84w x 0.75d","brand":"Adam Segal","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44059728281855,"sku":"9780801439858","price":56.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fcd741ad-d5e2-46ef-bf48-124ff7fae044.jpg?v=1685059977","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/digital-dragon-adam-segal-9780801439858","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
