Along with the economic crisis spreading rapidly all through the world, Chinese had to face larger and larger pressure in its economic development. The economic crisis made a lot of Chinese enterprises lose most business orders, lots of workers had no work to do, so many enterprises turned to downsize to survive in this crisis. With the low level Human Resource Management of most enterprises, there would be another crisis. Some scholar pointed out that, if you can manage the downsizing well, you can turn the crisis to opportunity, and then you can survive to higher development, or else you may be bankrupt.This paper aims to study the downsizing standards of Chinese enterprises. Based on a review and summary of the relevant studies about downsizing standards of Chinese scholar, author will use the empirical study method to investigate the cognition situation of Chinese enterprises on downsizing standards, trying to find a series of downsizing standards which can be used in Chinese enterprises downsizing management, combining with the relevant provisions in the LAW OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA ON EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS, author will design a model to help Chinese enterprises to select downsizing objects scientifically and reasonably. This paper is an empirical study about Chinese scholars'relevant studies, also is a supplement study and an innovation study.According to the study's logic sequence, this paper is divided into five parts.
