Descriere
What China's transformation means for business, markets and the world order
"Here is a book on China that places corporations center stage. Story paints the broad canvas of China's transformation in all its dimensions, while providing sound advice to senior management. Here is corporate strategy on a grand scale. A must read".
Par-Anders Pehrson, Vice President Leadership, Ericsson
"A very informative analysis of the political and economic transformation taking place in China and how this impacts business decisions, but more generally is a good analysis of China for western audiences."
Eric A.Hyer, Brigham Young University, Utah
"Jonathan Story has written an admirably clear, well informed and judiciously timed book that should deservedly attract a wide readership among those seeking a comprehensive yet penetrative knowledge of contemporary China, set in its international context".
Professor Jack Hayward FBA , Chairman, China Programmes, The British Academy.
Making strategies for the business future of China
With WTO membership under its belt and a new leadership emerging, China could be ready to take its place in the global economy as an economic powerhouse. But despite its immense economic progress transformation, the political challenge facing China's leaders could yet undermine the transformation. Is the Chinese dragon about to take flight or run out of puff? How far will this transformation go and what are the implications for business? China's present and future challenge is the business world's future opportunity.
In China; The Race to Market, Jonathan Story helps you and your business to answer three essential questions: what direction is China's development taking? Will china successfully emerge as a world power? And what do we need to know to do business with or invest in the emerging China?
The book provides sharp insights on how to tailor corporate strategies to local conditions, and links public policy, corporate strategy, and markets in a smarter global business perspective.
How can the business world make strategies for a country as multi-faceted and complex as China? The answer requires us to consider the future, where risks and rewards really lie, and to look at a much broader canvas than we conventionally do when we consider business or investment strategy. We have to understand the forces making China's future before we can learn about making business strategy there. Markets, politics, demographics and technology all have a role to play
This book discusses the drivers and possible outcomes for the development of China - covering issues such as Sino-American relations, entry to the World Trade Organisation, the state-market relationship, and internal reform - and sets out a framework for understanding and doing business with the Chinas that emerges.
By covering the politics and economics of China on different levels - international, national, and local - and by digging into history where necessary, the book will offer an informed judgement about where China is heading and what this means for business people. It will also investigate key industry sectors, such as telecoms, finance and automobiles, from the viewpoint of western corporations, Chinese companies, and state or provincial authorities.

Recenzii
"
China: the race to market is an excellent book for anyone who wishes to understand the direction in which the Chinese polity and economy is developing. For providing a background for developing strategies for business development it is therefore a must. And in addition it is a very enjoyable read.
The major attraction of the analysis is the clear exposition of the various forces bearing on policy making and action in China within the Communist state, and by implication therefore on the the economy and the business environment. One cannot make business strategy without reference to a coherent macro view of the relevant environment and for any business either seeking to operate in China, or likely to be impacted directly or indirectly by events there, there can be nothing better than this book to establish a coherent view of likely development."

Caracteristici
- China is now viewed by many as becoming an "economic giant". This is of great interest to western corporations and the global economy in general, and is a very current issue
- Through extensive research and interviewing chinese business leaders and politicians, it offers an informed judgement about where China is heading and what this means for business people
- Covers a wide variety of issues to do with the development of China, such as Sino-American relations, entry to the World Trade Organisation, the state-market relationship, and internal reform
- Gives an unbiased view of the situation, investigating key industry sectors from the point of view of western corporations, Chinese companies, and state or provincial authorities
- China's future has been the subject of major surveys in The Economist and The Financial Times this year - both high on the business radar.
- Only in October of this year. China announced plans to allow private and foreign investors to acquire controlling stakes in it's companies. This will create an even greater interest in China as it opens up significant opportunities for foreign companies to break into the China market.

China is rapidly becoming the world's next economic giant: by some estimates, the Chinese economy could overtake the US by 2030. Is this truly likely? Or will internal political and cultural obstacles lead the Chinese market economy to fail, causing massive losses for unwary investors? In "China: The Race to Market," a leading expert in assessing investment risks in China offers a comprehensive briefing on what to expect--and what to watch out for. Jonathan Story covers all the forces shaping China's future, offering essential historical and economic context, and showing investors how to shape strategies that maximize opportunity and minimize risk. He addresses a wide range of issues, including: the impact of China's entry into the World Trade Organization; the state-market relationship; the outlook for internal reform and transparency; brand-new rules permitting majority foreign ownership; Sino-American relations, and much more. He also drills down to key industries--including telecommunications, finance, and the automotive industry--showing how these industries are evolving from the viewpoint of Western companies, Chinese competitors, and government authorities alike. From start to finish, "China: The Race to Market" offers intelligent solutions for Western business people seeking long-term success in China's complex and fast-changing environment.
