ABSTRACT
This is nowhere more apparent than in China and its reintegrated Special Administrative Region, Hong Kong. However, the nature of those changes and the context in which they are evolving are very different. In China, the changes are radical at the systemic level as economic, labour market, enterprise and welfare reforms continue and the whole work-related landscape is reconfigured. In Hong Kong, the changing environment for work is less dramatic. There, shifts in organisational form and strategy, managerial outlook and practice, and the technological context for work reflect wider macro-economic and industrial organisation changes as its more mature economy makes the transition into a fuller service economy and a trade hub for its hinterland.
