Le nouveau « retournement » des corps et des esprits en Chine

Abstract

Interviews with formerly salaried workers in the Public sector who have established their own businesses reveal a great diversity of situations, whether it involves the nature of the activity (services or manufacturing), organizational forms (independent enterprise or entreprenuerial network), or even the markets concerned (local, national or international). In this phase of transition, the institutions characteristic of the market economy (previously existing work units or official unions) continue to exercise a primary influence.
