Then I moved on to organisation theory:

 

 

2000, Cognitive Space - A social cognitive approach to Sino-Western cooperation

This study is a fundamental improvement of the theory of Social Integration as proposed by Van Dongen e.a. (1995). While the original model was mainly designed to describe organising processes on the micro-level, the framework developed here expands the scope to meso- and macro-levels as well. The new framework can be regarded as one ofthe most comprehensive organisation theories of the social constructivist school. It provides exiting new insights in human organising processes, that will be useful to scholars of a number of academic fields. The reader is instructed in great detail how cognitive spaces like cities, provinces, markets, enterprises, associations, etc., are constructed in ongoing interaction. Moreover, this study comprises one of the first attempts to study cross-cultural cooperation from a social constructivist angle using case studies, most of which are taken from the author's own consulting practice.

Consultants and managers interested in the processes and dynamics of organisational change will find in this book an opportunity to apply the theory of Social integration on the meso and macro levels.

Chinese presentation of the Zhengzhou paper

 

Peverelli, P, 2005, Chinese Corporate Identity, Routledge, London.

 This text represents the first study of economic restructuring in reform era China to apply the concepts of identity and corporate space; notions which have become increasingly relevant as foreign invested and Chinese ventures face complex operational and societal issues in the wake of globalisation. I use my own theoretical framework to examine and detect multiple identities of Chinese enterprises within a larger, comprehensive organisation theory. A host of practical case studies taken from my time as a consultant help to illustrate this original theory, while providing a practical reference to the modern Chinese economy and Chinese management.

I occasionally write on the Chinese food industry:

  

China and the West: Can We Learn From Each Other?

 

 

New Developments In The Chinese Market

 

Traditional Chinese medicine joins the modern age

 

Rethinking the tradition

 

This magazine contains two recent articles; one on innovation in the Chinese food industry and one on the status quo of the Chinese dairy sector.
