The Peoples' Republic of China have hired several hundred so called foreign experts and assigned them to specific state owned enterprises (SOE's) to help transform these into modern world class companies. As far as I know, I was the first and only foreigner heading up the human resources in such an enterprise. The purpose of this short book is to provide a snapshot of what really happens inside: how the party functions in the company: how people issues are addressed including industrial and social unrest: the problems around petty irregularities and resistance to change: the daily challenges facing non-China nationals and finally, how companies are bought and integrated outside The Peoples' Republic.
