Individualism In China

` A key feature of capitalistic ideology is the promotion of individualism, that is, the principle that individual effort is rewarded and benefits the individual. In contrast, a key feature of socialist ideology is the promotion of the good of the collective over the individual. China has been a socialist nation since the latter half of the 20th century. Yet, the last 20 years have brought extensive economic reforms that have transformed the country into a pseudo-capitalist market economy.

Although there were several design changes across the waves of the study, we were able to restrict the remaining three samples to represent similar subpopulations. Ultimately, our pooled sample is representative of persons ages 18–65 years living in urban China. The original pooled sample size was

Proposition VI: Performance orientation -Globalization leads the way for this change, requiring higher performance levels for those working in MNEs or the global sector. For those working in the MNEs and competing at the international level, requires organizations to reward for performance because of the high level of competition. Proposition VII: Humane orientation - We believe that globalization and urbanization has changed this structure. Our results indicate that the humane index of India and China has converged to that of the US and the differences have disappeared in our sample. https://academicarchive.snhu.edu/bitstream/handle/10474/1770/snhu_00155.pdf?sequence=1.

China interested me the most because they are business driven, China knows how to bargain, they know how to communicate with others, and they tend to constantly grow in the business area.
