This book examines how to conduct due diligence on mergers and acquisitions for organizations in China written from a management perspective. It highlights models that appear straightforward and yet are susceptible to oversights and failings and examines the roles of human resource practitioners from when a target company is identified for mergers or acquisitions through to assessing its risks. "HR Due Diligence" incorporates adopting human resource management strategies under differing business conditions, negotiating to secure the deal and integrating the new business unit to the merged or acquired organization. The authors give a fantastically detailed analysis of due diligence, capturing the nuances of the Chinese way of doing things and how this affects a business environment. - Provides practical and realistic solutions to real-world problems - Concisely draws upon the authors’ wide-ranging practical and research experience in conducting due diligence assignments in organizations in China

The Chinese higher education sector is an area subject to increasing attention from an international perspective. Written by authors centrally located within the education system in China, "Developments and Reform of Higher Education in China" highlights not only the development of different aspects of higher education, but also the reform of the education system, and its role in the educational and social development of the country. This book analyzes recently collected data from the National Bureau of Statistics of China and the work of leading scholars in the field of higher education. It highlights the marketization of state-owned institutions and the increasing importance of the internationalization of higher education – two important features of education in a modern and global context.

Starting from the increasing  difficulties firms face to create new value for customers and achieve  competitive advantage, this book proposes an innovative strategy to  sustain innovation at the product level, based on the notion of  tradition. Specifically, the authors argue that firms may successfully  innovate, exploiting the whole set of competencies, knowledge, values  and culture that characterize a specific firm, territory, and/or age.  Analyzing several international case studies, this book clearly shows  how tradition may be effectively used, allowing companies to create  successful new products and how to profit from them. The book tackles  the main issues and problems of a tradition-based innovation approach,  tracing the patterns of how old and new knowledge can be combined.

Engineers employ shear connections - riveted and bolted butt and lap joints - in a wide range of structures and machines. Ordinary stress analyses of joints are unable to define the features that ultimately govern fatigue and fretting and provide bases for design. Detailed analyses have only become possible recently with advances in finite element methods and computing capabilities. This text places into context the results of over 150 detailed 2D and 3D finite element analyses of aluminum and steel shear connections so that engineers can optimize the design and reliability of shear joints.
