Managed Chaos: The Fragility of the Chinese Miracle
by Prem Shankar JhaManaged Chaos: The Fragility of the Chinese Miracle reads into the Chinese politics and economy and the disparate status and position of the two domains. On one hand, its economy has sustained a near 10 per cent growth rate for 30 years, while, on the other, trapped in an incomplete transition from a totalitarian to a democratic market economy, politically the country is still considered a fragile state. This book helps the reader resolve this incongruity through its inference. The defining features of this book are: - Armed with an original application of Michal Kalecki’s theory of intermediate regimes, it provides an explanation of China’s explosive growth. - It indicates the formation of a new stratum, through winding up of centralised planning, the stratum of ‘proto-bourgeoisie’, consisting of the local cadres of the communist party, who can counter the central cadres for capturing investible resources of the state. - It creates a single politic-economic model that explains China’s economic and political development. The causal connections in the model make it possible to predict China’s future, and the challenges it faces. This book makes a significant contribution to the literature on Chinese political economy over the past three decades. It is a must read for all discerning and informed readers. It will also be valuable for policy makers and students and researchers working in the areas of international relations, Chinese studies and political economy.

Managed Service Restructuring in Health Care: A Strategic Approach in a Competitive Environment
by William Winston Robert L Goldman Sanjib K MukherjeeSurvival in the growing managed care environment requires the integration of financial analysis, market appraisal, and administrative management. The authors of Managed Service Restructuring in Health Care provide a unique tool for readers to enable them to make these successful management decisions in restructuring services. The unique approach in this book assists health care managers and prospective managers as they seek to solve the problem of how to deal with health care services that appear to be no longer productive. In Managed Service Restructuring in Health Care, the authors provide a solid theoretical base for what they have developed in MSR (Managed Service Restructuring)--a conscious--not crisis--management tool. They prepare readers for implementing MSR techniques by describing them in detail for their application to readers’situations. MSR approaches to planned health care management, as introduced in this book, help administrators channel scarce resources to the services the community wants and needs most. Facts and cases are offered as examples of when and how MSR techniques have been applied successfully. The authors also include failure cases where, if MSR techniques had been followed, health care providers would have survived in several communities.Incorporate the information in this book to enhance long-range planning and prevent closure of health care services needed by the community. Along with financial and marketing tools necessary for long-range planning, Goldman and Mukherjee list warning signals that alert professionals to the need to review the services and products offered. They also fully explore these areas: Product Life Cycle Boston Consulting Group’s Portfolio of Business (Growth Share Matrix) Product Development Product Planning Public Service of Health Care Providers Centers of Excellence Service Diversification/Consolidation Investment/Disinvestment Criteria Marketing in Competitive Environment for Health ServicesHealth care managers, hospital administrators, and students in health services management programs can benefit from the focus on conscious planning in Managed Service Restructuring in Health Care. While many of the examples take place within acute care hospitals, the MSR approach and this book are designed to assist any health care administrator or manager. With knowledge of when and how services can be prolonged, professionals can more effectively lead their health care provider into a more competitive environment. The analyses used in the book should enhance many readers’knowledge of basic marketing and financial principles and theories important to restructuring and providing health services today.
