Personal Styles, Cultural Values and Management: The Sincere and Wing on Companies in Shanghai and Hong Kong, 1900–1941
While retailing a great variety of goods under one roof and single management already existed in China by the late nineteenth century, modern style department stores on the China coast began only in 1900.

Bureaucratic Capital and Chou Hsüeh-hsi in Late Ch'ing China
Bureaucratic capital-that is, capital accumulated through public office, or state revenue diverted by individual officials for capital investment- has had a long history in China since early Han times. This paper is concerned with the development of bureaucratic capital for 'modern' industry during the last forty years of the Ch'ing dynasty
Politics and Industrialization in Late Imperial China
Uses the early phase of Chinese industrial efforts to demonstrate that Chinese political values significantly and assuredly affected the way modern industry was promoted and developed. Both values and environment can change, and it is their interaction that determines some specific ideological content and thrust.
