Survey: 50% Of Execs Would Take A Job In China

ByJohn S. McClenahen Senior executives are more likely to accept a position in China than in India or Russia, according to survey in late March by the New York-based Association of Executive Search Consultants. Some 50% of the 516 surveyed executives, 90% of whom live in North America or Europe, said they would accept a management position in China. The same percentage -- 50% -- said they would not. Asked about taking management posts in India or Russia, the answers were identical for each of those countries. Some 34% said they would do it; 66% said they would not.
