Call for Contributions: Biographical Dictionary of New Chinese Entrepreneurs and Business Leaders
Scheduled to be published by Edward Elgar in 2008-09, the Biographical Dictionary of New Chinese Entrepreneurs and Business Leaders will provide up-to-date and comprehensive coverage of major players of Chinese economy since the reform era began in 1978. Edited by Professors Wenxian Zhang and Ilan Alon of Rollins College, the emphasis of the reference book is on the movers and shakers of China?s new economy, highlighting notable figures from both the initial economic liberalization period and the renewed growth from the early 1990s to the present time. The geographic focus of the book will be the mainland China, and the majority of the subjects are mainland Chinese, defined as those who were born and brought up in China, no matter what passports they might hold today. The selection will be based mainly on the roles an individual played in the Chinese economic development, and people from Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and other parts of the world who conduct significant business in the People?s Republic of China will also be included.
The biographical dictionary will contain 150-200 entries, each should be 300-1,000 words in length, briefly summarizing an individual?s life and careers, with a central focus on his or her accomplishments and the key roles played in the new Chinese economy. Three to five references should be provided at the end of each entry. Potential contributors may view the list of available entries at: web.rollins.edu/~wzhang/nce.htm. You may suggest other entrepreneurs or business leaders not listed along with a justification to the editors. Each contributor is expected to write five entries and 2,500 words, and, in return, will receive contributor acknowledgment in each entry and a copy of the dictionary when it is published.
