How can managers discover, develop and implement successful
business strategies for China and our global economy? Drawing on
in-depth research with top executives of successful Chinese and
Western companies, this book provides a road map for profitable
business strategies in our interconnected economy. In the process,
the authors describe and examine both Chinese and Western strategic
management, their weaknesses and strengths. Starting with an
analysis of the historical, cultural and legal antecedents of
Chinese strategy, the authors identify potential for synergy and
dominance between companies from Western, industrialized economies
and Chinese companies. The book closes with recommendations on how
the managements of non-Chinese companies, now pouring into China,
can most effectively compete and interact with Chinese
businesspersons and governments.
The Chinese Tao of Business offers guidance to compete successfully against local companies and in foreign markets through:
- Unique insights into Chinese bus iness strategy, including its origins and influencing factors;
- Insightful perspectives on the evolution of China’s market and business environments;
- Incisive analysis of Eastern and Western strategic decision-making styles and how they differ;
