 Organizational Structure – Two
Carriages

The greatest difference in organizational structure between most

Chinese enterprise and Western companies is that there are
parallel management systems in a Chinese enterprise.

1)Administrative system
2)leadership structure based around CCP(Chinese
Communist Party)
So this system is always referred as “Two Carriages”.
 Organizational Functions – A small
Society
a) The function of a SOE: “a large family”.
Most enterprises in China not only provide their employee with
working opportunities and salaries, but must also offer a full array
of material necessities, including medical insurance, housing,
childcare, schooling and entertainment. It plays an extensive role
in both the professional and private lives of their employees So
the Organizational Functions of Chinese enterprise are like those
of a small society. Therefore a SOE manager’s work is very
complex
b) The function of a manager must be like a parent. As the
enterprise is regarded as a “large family”, the general manager is
naturally assumed as a “parent”. Actually, managers are
respected as the head of family by the employees. In return,
managers must take care of employees
b) The function of a manager must be like a parent.

1)good “parent”: who takes good care of their family‐‐>the

enterprise will be cohesive and efficient
2)otherwise, the manager fails no matter how profitable their
company is .So the criterion of a good manager is that whether
he or she can secure basic material and welfare benefits for
employees.

c) The salary system of SOE employees.

1)Employees are paid monthly.
2)Salaries are consist of 4 parts: a basic salary, seniority salary,
bonus and subsidy. subsidy: housing rental, medical care, non‐
staple foodstuffs, newspapers and books, transportation, even
clothing and foodstuffs.

 Cultural Influence on Perception
 “The Chinese usually attribute personal success to
luck and failures to personal failings.”
 “In contrast, when Americans fails, they are more likely
to blame it on external factors (such as tough
competition, poor leadership, interdepartmental
problems) . However, when Americans succeed they
attribute it to personal, internal factors (e.g., hard work,
intelligence, initiative). This is called the self-serving
bias, the tendency for people to attribute their
successes to internal factors while blaming external
factors.”
