BiBlio Service Zhang, W., Wang, H., Alon, I., entrepreneurial and Business elites of china: The chi- nese returnees Who Have Shaped Modern china, emerald Group Publishing limited, Howard House, UK, 2011 A Capsule Summary of the Book This interesting and coherent edited volume captures an exciting phenomenon, which is labeled as returnee entrepreneurs (Wright et al. 2008), in the wave of brain circulation (Saxenian 2007; Wadhwa et al. 2011). The editors of this book, Zhang Wenxian, Wang Huiyao and ilan Alon, mobilized scholars worldwide and assembled 108 success stories of chinese returnees. Their insights on china, globalization and talents management via various venues, such as the china Goes Global conference at Harvard University and the china’s think-tank center for china & Globalization, are imprinted in this volume. entrepreneurial and business elites are described by using a variety of sources, such as publications, interviews, website content, etc. The richness of the data showcases the individual proiles vividly, although it is rather brief in comparison to in-depth case stu- dies. The personal development path, both private and professional, is captured in each biography. Similar to an index book, it is a good source for readers to quickly grasp the milestones/highlights of each entrepreneurial and business elite. This book summarizes the development of talent management by offering evidence on the individual-level, and echoes the national policy along time horizon. it will open a new research agenda for scholars and practitioners to better understand china’s economy and key players who shape its development today.
