Description: This title draws on fieldwork in a multinational corporation (MNC) in Qingdao, China, and delves into the power dynamics at play between Korean management, Chinese migrant workers local-level Chinese government officials, and Chinese local gangs. This ethnography demonstrates how a particular MNC struggled with the pressure to be increasingly profitable while negotiating the clash of Korean and Chinese cultures traditions, and classes on the factory floor.
