001439448 520__ $$aThe book aims to analyse and evaluate the strategic positioning of Chinas participation in terms of firm-level performance in the generation of infrastructure capacity in African countries. Africa counts among its development challenges a major bottleneck of infrastructure capacity and shortage of investable capital. Chinas long period of high growth generates the strengths to secure availability of energy from Africa by enhancing infrastructure provision for the region. To achieve this complementary macro-level development, beyond the traditional dimension of infrastructure provision (ODA), Chinese IMNEs become the vital players on the intersection of these processes. Thus this research makes practical and analytical contributions to international business studies and development issues by making concrete the analysis of bilateral development processes from a macro context to a micro level framework (e.g. focusing on ICT and construction sectors), then fitting this into the real world story. Infrastructure itself is a key element for potential investment and development processes. Therefore, how IMNEs achieve not only exist simply in a way of a commercial-oriented investment, but also in their implications for development and political related issues. Dr. Yuxuan Tang is currently a research associate at the International Development Cooperation Academy, Shanghai University of International Business and Economics. She obtained her Doctorate degree in Economics and Master's degree from University of Reading, the UK. She has worked as postdoctoral research fellow in School of Economics, Peking University and served as a research consultant for the United Nations Development Programme China office.
