‘Re‐inventing’ China’s Industrial Relations at Enterprise‐Level: an Empirical Field‐Study in Four Major Cities

Abstract

This article discusses the impact of China’s latest reforms on industrial relations at enterprise level in both state‐owned firms (SOEs) and foreign‐invested joint ventures (JVs) based on a sample of 24 industrial enterprises located in four cities. It concludes that the reforms of the early 1990s have ‘re‐invented’ the IR system and have significantly influenced recruitment and selection, wage and reward systems, and social security programmes.
