Summary Box: China in global talent search

Posted: 30 Aug 2010 09:38 AM PDT

STAR SEARCH: China's government is launching a global talent search to fill top posts at 12 major state-owned companies in its latest effort to turn huge but inefficient government enterprises into global competitors.

THE JOB: Communist leaders want to build up 30 to 50 state companies as national champions in fields from oil to banking to airlines. Some are among the biggest in their global industries due to their protected position in China's huge market, but authorities acknowledge they lag behind foreign rivals in skills and efficiency.

OBSTACLES: New management recruits will have to defer to political decisions. And not all talent need apply. Some of the job notices indicate a preference for Chinese-born executives working abroad or at foreign companies in China.
