This paper gives a survey on results related to the geometry and global structure of complex vector bundles that admit a connection with certain geometric properties. More precisely, the author presents some results regarding the relation between the Chern characteristic classes. He devotes particular attention to the Einstein condition. Some ``perturbation results'' in Hermitian geometry are stated, as well as the results related to the characterization of compact complex space form in terms of generalized Chern numbers and volumes of small geodesic balls. A topological condition for existence of a geodesically-Einstein metric is obtained and it represents a generalization of Chern's and the Ogiue's inequality. Furthermore, the author presents some recent results related to the hyper-Kähler geometry, the geometry of complex symmetric connection, and the affine geometry.
