This book is the first anthology compiled in English by the CEIBS Case
Center to promote China-focused cases worldwide. Included are ten of
twenty six award-winning cases from the Global Contest for the Best
China-Focused Cases during 2015 to 2017: these works exemplify the
quality of effective business cases and share stories of China to the
world.
Each of the ten cases has a defining feature. Some cases, with a focus
on user demand, analyze how companies build their core competence (e.g.,
Haidilao Hot-Pot and OnePlus Mobile Phone), while others present an
array of business innovations in the era of new retail, e-commerce, and
the sharing economy (e.g., SF Express, Jinhuobao, ofo, FamilyMart, and
Handu Apparel). Some describe Chinese companies' operations in the
overseas market (e.g., Huawei and TECNO), and others depict how foreign
companies adapt to the Chinese market in a unique way (e.g., Starbucks).
These cases were drawn from Chinese and overseas business schools. The
book helps bridge the gap between the world management community's
interest in China and the limited availability of China-focused
management cases. We hope this collection of select cases will prove
valuable and informative for our readers.
