This book is among the first to theoretically and empirically examine what and how Western expatriate managers learn and develop from their international assignments in China. The book draws on literature associated with expatriate studies, experiential learning theory, and knowledge acquisition to develop an expatriate learning process model. Following on from this, the study then examines expatriate learning outcomes from four perspectives: learning style transition, adaptive flexibility, global mind-sets and managerial tacit knowledge. It enhances understanding of the cultural differences between Western countries and China as well as the kinds of learning strategies successful expatriates adopt in order to quickly adapt to intercultural business contexts. This book will appeal to international business practitioners and research fellows who are interested in international human resource management.

Rotating machines are some of the most widely used machines and their application in the field of new and renewable energy is an important development. This book presents recent research and discusses the technological development of rotating machines, including different types of wind, pump, and gas turbines. It also examines environmental impacts on rotating machines, particularly the effects of icing on the surface of wind turbine blades. It includes research on static and dynamic structural analysis, rotor aerodynamics characteristics, signal analysis, energy conversion, and exergy. It also presents the latest research on theoretical analysis, numerical simulation, and experiment technology for improving the performance and optimizing the structure of rotating machines.

"A very fine and forensic piece of scholarship which sheds a fascinating light on the linkage between internal rural-urban migration and the access to and experience of health care in China. Highly recommended." Colin Hay, Professor of Political Science, Sciences Po, Paris This book focuses on the multifaceted reality of social and health constraints and health services access among migrants in China, by originally exploring the social strata, social networks, and the understanding of health and health services among migrants. Furthermore, this book investigates the health constraints and health services access of rural-urban migrants in the absence of equal social protection by the government. It argues that the main obstacles to access health services are not only the shortage of financial resources among rural-urban migrants, but also lie in the institutional blindness regarding health security provision, rural-urban dualism and the household registration system in China. The book highlights the key function that social networks play in health and health services access among migrants in China, which has rarely been discussed in previous studies. And it also discusses the understanding of health among migrants, and further analyses that although many migrants have not formed proper understanding of the connotation of health and have limited knowledge of health, prime responsibility should not be put on the migrants because their poor understanding of health mainly results from their rural perspective while health and health services access depend on the social-economic environment in which they live and work. This book would be of interest to people in migration studies, social exclusion and social welfare studies and to people interested in rural-urban migration and health in China. Yan Li is a Professor of Social Policy at Nanjing University, China. He obtained a PhD from the University of Nottingham, UK. His main research areas are social security and social policy, migration studies, health inequalities and health promotion, social stratification and mobility, and China studies. Yan Li worked as a Lecturer and a Senior Lecturer at Nottingham Trent University, UK. He is also a Fellow of Higher Education Academy, UK (FHEA). He has published in major international journals, including Social Science & Medicine, Qualitative Health Research, BMJ, Journal of Contemporary China, among others. .
