Hong Ying konzentriert sich in ihrem Werk auf menschliche Geschichten, Härten und Geschichte und glaubt, dass es ihre Verantwortung als Schriftstellerin ist, das Leben marginalisierter Gruppen zu erforschen, die in der heutigen China um Sichtbarkeit und Mitgefühl kämpfen. Ihre Romane befassen sich oft mit Themen wie Liebe, Verrat und der Suche nach Identität und bieten den Lesern einen Einblick in oft unsichtbare Kämpfe. Mit einer unverwechselbaren Stimme gestaltet sie Erzählungen, die tief berühren und sie zu einer bedeutenden Chronistin des Lebens am Rande machen. Die weit verbreitete Übersetzung ihrer Werke und ihr Bestsellerstatus zeugen von ihrer universellen Anziehungskraft.

This unique book that deals with project communication management in complex environments, taking a leaf from China’s experience with a major earthquake in Sichuan, would be a timely contribution to fill this lacuna.

The lessons provided in this book are the only one of its kind to highlight the lessons for companies and organizations to prepare themselves for successful project communication management through the complexity-informed framework.
