From the reviews:
„‘Chinese railways’ is a timely attempt at pointing out some of the major improvements opportunities in one of the sector that has least undergone reforms. … it is full of interesting data points and provides a good coverage of the industry. … Luger’s book provides a valuable read for scholars and practitioners wishing to study the Chinese railway sector.“ (Marc Laperrouza, Competition and Regulation of Network Industries, Issue 3, 2008)
Although huge, Chinese Railways are a bottleneck for economic growth in China. The state-owned enterprise returns a small profit but is severely capacity constrained and burdened with inefficiency. Based on interviews with Chinese experts, benchmarking with railways in the US, Germany, Russia, and Japan as well as broad coverage of Chinese-language sources, the book makes detailed recommendations on how to design a comprehensive turnaround program for Chinese Railways.
