The typical Chinese manager operates in a very hand-on style and is familiar with all aspects of the business.He or she delegates far less than his or her Western counterpart,spends less time in meetings,less time consulting and more time actually making decisions and implementing policy.Some recent surveys have suggested that Chinese managers believe that traveling and meeting are the least important aspects of their jobs;they would rather spend more time doing deskwork,assessing and evaluating information and making decisions.
