| Tiivistelmä: | This study attempts to investigate how conflicts (hereafter as: conf./confs.) btw. Chinese workers and foreign investors as manifested in human resources management arise, evolve and get resolved in Sino-foreign joint ventures. It is hypothesized that confs. can be functional or dysfunctional and that both partners believe that it is in their best interest to resolve the confs. The convergence theory is used as conceptual framework in the study. It is argued that the socio-economic and cultural convergence (here as: conv.) btw. China and the West has produced a common hybrid of cross-cultural innovations in China or, in a global perspective, 'alternative cultural globalization'. This hybridizing conv. is best exemplified by the gradual localization and sinification of the Western corporate culture in Sino-foreign enterprises in China today. |
