Stakeholders/Beneficiaries
local authorities and businesses in the UK and ChinaHow have research outputs led to this impact?
Local authorities and businesses in the UK and China have been increasingly engaged with each other since the beginning of the 21st century as evidenced in surging number of civic twinning relations and investment between the two countries. The relationship building exercise, however, is extremely challenging as the underlying power, institutional, cultural and communication factors often intermesh with one another. Our research sheds light on the interaction of the aforementioned factors and their impact on the relationship between Chinese firms and their partners in the UK.Impact status | Ongoing |
