Cross-Cultural Management and Retention Management in China

The book "Cross-Cultural Management and Retention Management in China" by Tobias Thayer provides a comprehensive analysis of the challenges arising from cultural diversity in the Chinese workplace. The author examines how the literature on intercultural management can be applied to the specific requirements of retention management in China. Given the high turnover rates and the often-lacking loyalty of Chinese employees towards foreign companies, it is crucial to recognize and understand cultural differences. Thayer structures the largely undefined field of intercultural management and assesses its relevance for employee retention in China. Furthermore, he highlights how cultural and historical factors, such as the influence of Confucianism and the communist Danwei system, shape the behavior of Chinese employees towards Western employers. This specialized book is a valuable resource for leaders and scholars dealing with intercultural management and employee retention in a complex cultural context.
