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;
- Cogent identification of hidden and overt threats, pitfalls and
opportunities that Western companies face in China and how to plan for
them;
- Effective direction through an Adaptive-Action Road Map (ARM) for
successful business strategies in China and the global economy.
