Call for Contributions: Entrepreneurial and Business Elites of China: The Chinese Returnees Who Have Shaped Modern China
中国当代海归创业及商界精英
Since 1978, in a hope to revitalize its ancient civilization, China began sending a large number of students and scholars overseas. Usually graduated from top universities at home, thousands of students have gone abroad each year to acquire advanced knowledge and skills, and those returned to China have already had a profound impact on the unprecedented transformation of the PRC over the past thirty years. Scheduled to be published by the Emerald Group Publishing in 2011-12, Entrepreneurial and Business Elites of China: The Chinese Returnees Who Have Shaped Modern China will provide up-to-date and comprehensive coverage of top overseas returnees who have made noteworthy contributions to the Chinese economy since the reform era began. Edited by Wenxian Zhang, Huiyao Wang and Ilan Alon, this research guide will focus exclusively on those entrepreneurial and business elites of new China. For the purpose of this book, a returnee is defined as a Chinese native who was born in China, left to study overseas as a student, visiting scholar or guest researcher for over one year, and who has returned to China to work on a permanent or long-term basis.
