Summary

This introductory chapter defines the term "corporate ecosystem," explaining why an ecosystem approach is the most suitable way to understand the behavior of Chinese corporations and their interactions with the broader political system in China. The chapter contrasts "corporate ecosystems" with "business ecosystems" and with the narrower, yet more common, corporate governance concerns of many previous accounts discussing Chinese business firms.
