Experienced family hoteliers in China, the Liang family, needed to leave the mainland under the pressure of the forces of Chairman Mao and the CCP in 1949. They repurchase the old guest house with the goal to redevelop. How will they cope with this specific privatization and also the inevitable bureaucracy of buying, demolition and rebuilding the old guest house?
How will they convert the existing SoE human resources (trained under planned economy states) into dynamic workers managing in the market economy while being sensitive to the ethnic features and challenges of this mainland Chinese workplace? With more than 6,000 Chinese SoEs still being targeted for privatization, this case is quite important and provides a real world opportunity for pupils to exercise their research, analytical, international management, entrepreneurial and cross-cultural management skills. This case is best used in a unit after the subjects of culture, international human resource management and international direction have been covered.
