| Summary: | <p class="first" id="d1725441e83">This study is a sociological exploration of changes and interrelationships between
production systems, management systems and employment relations through a case study
of a Chinese state-owned enterprise (SOE) which has undergone substantial restructuring
and reforms in an agriculture-dominated region that has witnessed rapid industrialisation.
It draws on data collected through qualitative interviews, focus group discussions
and workplace observation and participation. The findings suggest that while market,
efficiency and performance have become the dominant discourse in China’s SOEs, various
organisational actors have reconstructed their identities, engaged in constant negotiations
and continued formal and informal rules that supported their interests.
