Abstract
This study examines the management of human resources in China's 'hi-tech' revolution, as it mainly appears in its computer hardware, software and related products firms. Based on a study of both large and small enterprises in Beijing's 'Electronics Alley' in Haidian, it looks at their HRM characteristics, namely at their labour management relations, employment contracts, rewards system, social insurance and personnel behaviour (such as recruitment, labour turnover and dismissals). The main conclusions confirm a degree of institutional continuity with past work-unit (danwei) practices but point also to the makings of a new employment relationship, with a weakening of the old 'patron-client' relationship.
