"China's economy continues to be the fastest growing on earth, the third largest after the United States and Japan. Also growing are concerns that China's success is coming at tremendous cost to the global environment." "Business and Technology in China offers a perceptive look at China's economic wonder and the science/business partnership that is pointing the way to its future. In a series of narrative chapters, the book marks China's astonishing transformation into a global manufacturing powerhouse, with specific coverage of the devastating human and environmental impact of that growth, the effects of the 2008 global financial crisis, and China's new initiatives for creating a more sustainable economic model." "Business and Technology in China shows why China's renewed focus on scientific and technological innovation as an economic driver is so important. Drawing on extensive research, author Jing Luo examines how China's new model can still produce significant growth, even as it sets the stage for improved living standards and smarter environmental stewardship."--BOOK JACKET.
