7. The explanatory note (general level of literacy, style of presentation, quality of illustrations) is designed in accordance with the requirements for the document.

8. The volume and quality of the graphic material completely correspond to the text of the note and the requirements imposed on them.
9. The novelty of the dissertation is: 
The scientific novelty consists in using a sociological approach to substantiating corporate governance with the participation of the labor collective in Chinese companies, as well as in determining the influencing indicators to be taken into account.
The practical novelty consists of the developed sociological tools and the results of the empirical sociological research conducted by the author. The originality of the study lies in the fact that the correlation analysis, value network and regression model applied in it revealed the relationship of the company's performance with the value qualities of the individual, relationships in the workforce and to the manager. The list of indicators specifying them should be taken into account when organizing corporate interaction with Chinese specifics between the workforce and the company's management - the main stakeholders of corporate governance.
While working on her master's thesis, Zhao Shujue proved herself as a creative performer. The sociological research was organized and carried out by the author independently. The author of the dissertation studied the main Russian and foreign primary sources on the topic of the work. I carried out the tasks of the head in a timely manner, in full, and always took into account his comments. She showed diligence and showed independence, which contributed to achieving the maximum positive result.
Zhao Shujue's Master's thesis on " Corporate governance with the participation of the labor collective in Chinese companies" is performed at a high level, has a high-quality theoretical basis, has practical significance, and is supported by the author's own original research. The dissertation meets the requirements for master's theses at St. Petersburg State University. Zhao Shujue deserves to be awarded a master's degree in sociology. In our opinion, the content of the master's thesis corresponds to a highly positive assessment.
