The typical （good) Chinese manager operates in a very hand-on style. and is familiar

with all aspects of the business. He or she delegates far less than his or her Western counterpart, spends less time in meetings, less time consulting and more time actually making decisions and implementing policy. Some recent surveys have suggested that Chinese managers believe that traveling and meetings are the least important aspects of their jobs; they would rather spend more time doing deskwork, assessing and evaluating information and making decisions. It is interesting that only 31 percent of the sample believed that scheduled meetings were an important activity and only 4 percent believed that unscheduled meetings were important.
