Abstract

This paper examines the technological, managerial, and political barriers as well as enablers for the success of an information sharing initiative in China. A case in the product quality and food safety policy domain is studied. Furthermore, it compares the results of the case study in China with prior research conducted mainly in the western countries to identify similarities and differences, and discusses the impact of political, economic, social and cultural factors on those similarities and differences.
