Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Washington, 1993.

This dissertation examines the founding and early history of one of China's first modern industrial enterprises, the China Merchants' Steamship Navigation Company, and the institution which managed it, the Zhao Shang Ju or "Bureau that Invites Merchants." More specifically, the dissertation examines the interplay of private and public interests in the management of the enterprise. Li argues that the pursuit of private interest was so institutionalized within the Qing bureaucratic practice that it prevented the CMSN from serving the purposes for which it was created.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This dissertation examines the founding and early history of one of China's first modern industrial enterprises, the China Merchants' Steamship Navigation Company, and the institution which managed it, the Zhao Shang Ju or "Bureau that Invites Merchants." More specifically, the dissertation examines the interplay of private and public interests in the management of the enterprise. Li argues that the pursuit of private interest was so institutionalized within the Qing bureaucratic practice that it prevented the CMSN from serving the purposes for which it was created.
520 $a The early chapters explore the ways in which traditional Chinese governments accommodated the private interests of officials within the conduct of public business. Subsequent chapters trace the origins of the CMSN in the Qing state's concern that Western imperialism was robbing China of its economic rights (liquan), and examine the founding documents for the company, in which the system of "merchant management under official supervision" (guandu shangban) was defined. Chapter Six examines the CMSN's purchase of the assets of the Shanghai Steam Navigation Company, a firm owned by the American trading firm Russell and Company. In many respects, the purchase of SSNC was the moment of CMSN's greatest commercial strength. It also represented the beginning of the company's downfall, as the impeachments of CMSN officials for manipulation of stock prices and other financial malfeasance, discussed in Chapters 7 through 9, suggest. The narratives of these chapters demonstrate the difficulty of separating public from private interests, and personal and political purposes in China's nineteenth-century self-strengthening enterprise.
