Summary There is growing agreement among senior U.S. civilian and military officials who have been involved in formulating or implementing national-security and military strategies and policies relating to China that, overall, China is becoming an increasingly important player on the global national-security scene. Publicly available U.S. national-security documents, including from the U.S.-China commission, have pointed to the potential challenges with the rise of China as an important player and the need for a better understanding of them, their behaviors, decision making processes, etc. The Office of Net Assessment has done some important work in advancing our knowledge of China over the past few decades. This project will contribute to this knowledge by focusing specifically on Chinese organizations. In particular, the project aims to help develop a better understanding of decision making and behavior in Chinese organizations and identifying some main issues (characteristics, problems and strengths) of Chinese organizations, in particular those influenced by Chinese culture.
