The Transfer of Western Management to China
研究了西方管理知识向中国转移的背景、内容和限制，提出了包含选择、适应、应用、评估和整合五个阶段的转移模型，并分析了环境、组织及文化行为因素，强调中国需融合东西方精华发展本土管理知识。
This paper examines the issue of transferring western management knowhow to China, focusing on the context, content and constraints of the transfer. A model of the transfer of management knowhow is developed which contains five closely-related stages: selection, adaptation, application, evaluation and integration. Factors which influence management transfer are identified as environmental, organizational, and cultural and behavioural; while cultural constraints are discussed in detail. It concludes that China cannot depend on the West for the solutions to its problems but must develop its own indigenous knowhow by blending the best of both East and West.
