Acquisitions of Chinese State‐Owned Enterprises by Multinational Corporations: Driving Forces, Barriers and Implications for HRM
探讨了外资收购中国国有企业的驱动力、障碍及趋势，分析了收购中双方目标一致性、中方管理技能与行为、地方政府角色等问题，指出此类收购带来独特的管理问题，需进一步研究人力资源管理方面的异同。
This article explores the driving forces for, barriers to, and trends and patterns of acquisition of Chinese state‐owned enterprises (SOEs) by foreign investment and its implications for HRM and the experience of work for the workers. It questions the level of objectives alignment between the Chinese side and the FDI during the acquisition of Chinese SOEs. Issues related to the Chinese managerial skills and behaviour in acquisition negotiation are discussed as well as the policy making, administrative and practical role of the local government. The article argues that FDI's acquisition of Chinese firms creates unique management issues which require further research, particularly in the area of HRM, in order to establish the likely similarities and differences between acquisitions in other countries and those taking place in China and the implications of this for the globalizing businesses.
