Description

Gain deep insights into organizational growth and institutional conflict with this scholarly work from Routledge. Part of the Studies on Contemporary China series, this case study examines the growth and decline of the PLA's Science and Technology Commission for National Defense. Professor Ostrov provides a unique perspective on how organizations expand and the specific limits they face when lacking the resources needed to meet policy goals. Unlike previous studies that focus on informal factionalism, this research demonstrates that conflict within key units has a supra-Cultural Revolutionary institutional basis. This book is an essential resource for readers interested in business and economic history, military science, and the study of contemporary Chinese institutions. It offers a rigorous analysis of how resource scarcity impacts policy implementation and organizational stability.
