Much has been said about the re-emergence of China to its historical position of eminence in the world economy, yet little is understood about the kind of economic system China is evolving. What are the rules of the game of business in today's China, and how are they likely to change over the next decades?
Gordon Redding is Director of the Euro-Asia and Comparative Research Centre, at INSEAD. He is also Professor Emeritus at the University of Hong Kong.
He is a specialist on Asian management, and especially on Chinese capitalism. He spent 24 years based at the University of Hong Kong, where he established and was Director of the Business School, and its sister organisation in executive education, the Poon Kam Kai Institute of Management.
His research focuses on the comparative understanding of Asian business systems, and especially on the contrasts between Chinese, Korean, and Japanese forms of capitalism. As well as encompassing cultural effects it analyses the influence of institutions and societal processes seen historically. In addition his work has included the implications for multi-nationals working in the region, and the operating problems of expatriate management. He has published ten books, including The Spirit of Chinese Capitalism, and over a hundred research papers.

Previous work in this vein includes a book on Japan entitled Changing Japanese Capitalism (Cambridge University Press, 2006). He holds an AB in International Relations and Japanese from Stanford University and a PhD in political science from Harvard University. He is a Fellow at the INSEAD Euro-Asia and Comparative Research Centre.
