Abstract

This chapter informs about leadership and knowledge-transfer expectations in China. Specifically, this chapter unveils the impact the ancient and the modern Chinese education systems have on perceptions of hierarchy and manager-employee relationships. It will be illuminated how the trust formation process between managers and employees is facilitated in China and how it differs from the one in Western countries. There will be an overview on the main constituents of Chinese leadership as well as on different leadership styles and its main implications. Contextual factors, such as generation, industry, and geographic differences, will be considered. Finally, this chapter provides a guideline on how to successfully transfer knowledge in Western-Sino manager-employee relationships including culture-specific concepts such as guanxi and face.
