ABSTRACT
The second case study was conducted at RadioCo, a collective-owned enterprise (COE), or more precisely, an urban COE under direct control of the municipal industrial bureau. The first section of this chapter presents an overview of COEs in China, including their origins and development, differences from SOEs, business operations and major HR practices before and since the reforms. The case study offers background information on RadioCo, focusing on its HR practices, and concludes with a discussion of the issues arising from the research.
