| Learning objectives |
| The aim of the course is twofold. On
the one hand it will build up students’ oral communicative skills
in Chinese. The course will provide the students with an
understanding of terms and concepts specific to Chinese public
institutional development, and enable students to present and
discuss issues relevant to this. On the other hand the course will
provide the students with insights into the context for business in
China, providing them with insights into the institutional dynamics
of this country. |

Description of the exam
procedure
The students will write a one page
synopsis in Chinese that serves as the launch pad for a discussion
in Chinese of the course literature. The examination will take 30
minutes (evaluation included). Students receive one grade that is
determined by the content of his/her performance at the exam, and
another that reflects his/her communicative skills in
Chinese
|
|
| Course content and
structure |
|
The course will focus on Party-State-Business relations. China
has a socialist, one-party government, and although the pressure
from the global political and economic environment is pushing for
more pluralism, this has only been somewhat achieved in the
economic area. China’s one-party rule has responded to the
international pressure and challenges by engaging in a process of
creating a new institutional setup, while modernising and
restructuring the remaining organisational system and allowing a
plethora of social organisations and associations (shetuan) to
develop. Nevertheless, the role of the party is crucial for
understanding Chinese business environment, because the party
control the appointment not only of important institutions and
associations, but also the appointment of business leaders to the
large state-owned enterprises (SOE). The SOEs are still important
for the Chinese economy and most R&D in China take place in the
large SOEs.

| Teaching methods |

actively in the classroom and take turns making presentions that

course material. |
