About this book
Bringing together a collection of interdisciplinary chapters on China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI, or also known as One Belt One Road), this book offers a comprehensive overview of the topic from a business and management perspective. With contributions from scholars based in Asia, Europe and North America, Volume I provides theoretical and empirical analysis of the opportunities and challenges facing businesses in relation to BRI. Key areas covered include economics and finance, history, trade, value chain and human resource and cross-cultural management, creating a useful tool for academics, as well as policy-makers and practitioners in China and other countries along the new Silk Road.
Reviews
“The Belt and Road initiative is a state-led undertaking involving multiple countries and many organizations of various types with unprecedented scale for political, economic, and social impact. So far, literature has not paid sufficient attention to such a project that may exert great impacts on international business. Most studies on the BRI take a political or economic approach, whilst few examine it from a business and management perspective. Thus, this book which takes a business and management approach, will help readers to gain a novel understanding of the initiative.” (Shaomin Li, Eminent Scholar and Professor of International Business, Old Dominion University, USA)
“This book offers a broad assessment of the Belt and Road Initiative. Going beyond typical economic and political analyses, the book explores the impact of BRI on management, business, society and the environment. One important insight offered is that the overarching goal — trade, transportation, infrastructure, and communication connectivity — requires an understanding the socioeconomic diversity and heterogeneity of the affected countries. In addition to its broad coverage, the book is a product of collaboration by international scholars that offer regional perspectives such as China, Turkey, Central Asia, South Asia, West Asia, and Africa. Researchers, policy-makers and entrepreneurs will gain a pragmatic understanding BRI, allowing them to benefit from its development.” (Shu-Chun Susan Yang, Senior Economist, Development Macroeconomics Division, Research Department, IMF, USA)
