| dc.description.abstract | This research is a study of Chinese Family Construction Related Company (CFCRC) that focuses on their philosophy of Chinese management practices and to compare and identify similarities and differences in the management philosophy between the old generation and the new generation style of thinking. The purpose of the study is to explore the management characteristics of CFCRC by means of interview data collected from three CFCRC in Malaysia. The interviewees are all involved in construction field. The emphasis of the project concentrated on the establishment; expansion and growth; ownership and leadership; management structure; the impact of cultural factors and the strategy for the future as well as challenges in terms of competitors and environments. In contrast to prevailing cultural and institutional accounts of CFCRC behaviour, CFCRC generally use an informal and unstructured approach when it comes to management practices. They tend to use family members to be in charge of key management positions, with highly centralized management control and strategic decision-making. CFCRC possess special characteristics not generally found in other cultures. For example, trust would be the most important part in doing business among all the Chinese, whereas "building trust" would be the main emphasis in facilitating business relationships. The results of the study showed that, in general, the three cases of CFCRC still followed many of the traditional management practices associated with oversea Chinese family business as reviewed in the literature. But because of the knowledge that the new generation gained from modem management skill, they had practice the new skill in those traditional Chinese company. | en_US |
