These changes according to Selmer (2002) have meant that China has grown into an attractive and
important market for international business and this attractiveness has been boosted by China's vast
population and its entry into the World Trade Organisation. As China has become inevitably linked to
the international economy, it increasingly faces the challenges of globalization which mean enterprises
have to adapt to a new, fast-changing environment (Warner, 2008). As such, this type of significant
growth for China may hold many implications for managers, because aided by the injection of
technology and managerial expertise into China's economic development, China has experienced a
significant economic leap forward with increased complexities in people management that have been
strongly influenced by political factors, economic factors, and social systems, as well as national
culture (Wang & Wang, 2006)
