Book Description
One part riveting account of fieldwork and one part rigorous academic study, Brand New China offers a unique perspective on the advertising and marketing culture of China. Jing Wang’s experiences in the disparate worlds of Beijing advertising agencies and the U.S. academy allow her to share a unique perspective on China during its accelerated reintegration into the global market system. Brand New China offers a detailed, penetrating, and up-to-date portrayal of branding and advertising in contemporary China. Wang takes us inside an advertising agency to show the influence of American branding theories and models. She also examines the impact of new media practices on Chinese advertising, deliberates on the convergence of grassroots creative culture and viral marketing strategies, samples successful advertising campaigns, provides practical insights about Chinese consumer segments, and offers methodological reflections on pop culture and advertising research. This book unveils a “brand new” China that is under the sway of the ideology of global partnership while struggling not to become a mirror image of the United States. Wang takes on the task of showing where Western thinking works in China, where it does not, and, perhaps most important, where it creates opportunities for cross-fertilization. Thanks to its combination of engaging vignettes from the advertising world and thorough research that contextualizes these vignettes, Brand New China will be of interest to industry participants, students of popular culture, and the general reading public interested in learning about a rapidly transforming Chinese society.

Book Description
Since the introduction of economic reforms and an open door policy in 1978, China has been proclaimed as "the emerging powerhouse of the twenty-first century". The Chinese market's attractiveness to international marketers has also received significant boost as a result of the country's admission into the World Trade Organization (WTO). Accordingly, advertisers look at China and perceive tremendous opportunity in 1.3 billion Chinese consumers which represents one-fifth of the world population in what is called the world's largest market. Being viewed as a new frontier for consumer good investment does not mean that advertising in China is simple. On the contrary, many Western business firms which have invested their capital into Chinese businesses have suffered setbacks or even failure. Thus, it is important to understand that despite the dramatic impact of economic reform and the drive for modernization over the past two decades, the Chinese market has many special characteristics that make it a challenging place in which to do business including making advertising in this market . This book examines the key barriers/constraints that foreign firms should be mindful of in order to develop a viable advertising strategy in a changing China in which abundant opportunities await those that can fulfill it.

Book Description
Digital marketing in China is quickly becoming the central element of the overall business strategy for companies entering this rapidly growing market. What makes it particularly challenging for foreign companies is the absence of familiar digital marketing tools such as Facebook, Google, YouTube etc. On the other hand, the presence of the local digital marketing and ecommerce ecosystem, which is relatively unknown outside of China, demands localized approach with new set of strategies.This book covers all aspects of developing successful digital marketing programs for China - from market research to search engine marketing to mobile and social media and other marketing channels.Chinese consumer is also becoming more sophisticated and discerning which leads to intensified competition among product makers and service providers. Local market specifics often require companies to significantly pivot their marketing strategy to adjust to the new reality.Essentially, this is what this book is all about - how foreign companies can adapt their existing marketing practices to Chinese market and devise new effective marketing strategies that deliver real results.The primary focus of this book on online digital marketing is due to two reasons. First, practice proves that it is the most efficient and cost effective channel in China and it is becoming increasingly so. It is also widely predicted that digital aspect of marketing will inevitably become the most important element in overall marketing strategy as people will continue moving more of their traditionally offline activities into online realm.The second reason is the unprecedented proliferation of ecommerce in China. Chinese ecommerce market is already larger than that of US and is predicted to pass $1 trillion mark in 2019. This makes digital marketing a natural choice for promoting anything that can also be bought online, which, in China's case, is pretty much everything. The ability to place a point of sale just a click away from an ad shortens the sales cycle and makes conversions much faster and easier to achieve.This book will not only give you a solid understanding of digital marketing landscape in China but also serve as guide to develop your own marketing strategy for your business.

Book Description
Ten or fifteen years ago global business was mainly in the hands of a select number of multinational giants. Small and medium-sized business concentrated on their home markets and perhaps one or two neighboring countries. Not so any longer. Even the smallest businesses have realized that they have something to market in distant countries. Under these circumstances, Chinese companies of all sizes in various industries have recently opened to foreign competition. According to the Chinese Commerce Ministry's new release on relevant report, the Chinese foreign investment reached a new record of 26,51 billion US-Dollars in 2007. This represented a growth of 25,3 percent compared to 2006. After the quantity expansion, the quality offensive comes silently. Today, Chinese companies throw not only millions of T-Shirts, toys or plastic bowls in the international market but also wireless LCD-televisions, telecom-equipment and precision tools as well. Chinese companies have realized that a competitive advantage based on low costs, low prices and large quantities in a global economy cannot defend itself long. Consequently, they focus consistently on innovation and brands. In addition, China's globalization also needs strong mental forces. China does not just want to be a world factory, but instead be an internationally competitive market place that Western competitors already are. In the involvement of Chinese companies abroad aimed at specific markets, several strategies are recognizable. German and European companies are facing new chances and challenges at the same time. People must correctly assess the situation and corporate strategies and business concepts, with which they respond effectively and sustainably. The following questions are the focus: In what areas and branches do Chinese companies concentrate in German market? Which Chinese companies go abroad? What are their market entry strategies? What are their competitive strategies? And what are the steps of Chinese investments? What problems in the Chinese M&A business in Germany? How to overcome or avoid them? What are other problems? What branches are suffering from Chinese competition in Germany and EU? Chances or threats? How can German companies face this shift in a global economy and respond appropriately?

Book Description
Master's Thesis from the year 2013 in the subject Communications - Public Relations, Advertising, Marketing, Social Media, Tongji University, language: English, abstract: The Chinese market has become very attractive for Western companies. It is a huge consumption market with more than 1, 3 billion inhabitants and it is at the same time a goods’ provider with a very low labor cost. Western companies can nowadays be very successful in China because the population knew lately huge changes. Chinese people purchasing power is rising and they can afford goods that they could not reach before because it was too expensive or not available. The development of a rich elite and a large middle class has been accompanied by a rising strong taste for Western image, particularly in the luxury field. But the Chinese market is still quite different than Western ones. The Chinese culture is totally divergent than in the West and the economy doesn’t work the same way and that impact on the Chinese consumers’ profile. Besides, there are huge inequalities in China since the whole country doesn’t evolve in a homogeneous way. To be successful on this market for a Western brand, it is necessary to develop a marketing strategy adapted to the Chinese consumers’ expectations according to the products’ activity segments. In the present thesis, we study which marketing strategy a Western brand should follow to be successful on the Chinese market according to its activity segment. Indeed, we assume that a mass market brand should rather follow a Chinese consumer’s adapted strategy and that a luxury brand should keep the same Western strategy in China.

Master's Thesis from the year 2015 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1,0, TU Bergakademie Freiberg (Professur für Englische Fachsprache der Wirtschaftswissenschaften und technischen Wissenschaften), language: English, abstract: In recent years, China has witnessed the most skyrocketing economic growth in history. For Germany, China has become the third most important trading partner. Especially for German key industries like the automotive branch and mechanical engineering, the Chinese market has become vitally important. The shift from a seller’s market to a buyer’s market in China with an excess of supply over demand is accompanied by extreme competition between countless suppliers, which forces competing companies to implement efficient and effective marketing strategies in order to acquire customers. Cultural factors in China and Germany differ so much that they affect the entire success of business. They act as invisible barriers that must be overcome, not only in order to build competitive advantages, but in order to be competitive at all. When entering the Chinese market, foreign firms must consider that they will operate in a completely different culture, in which perception, communication, norms, values and other aspects cannot be compared to their respective German counterparts. As this thesis will show, many foreign firms fail in the Chinese market due to their inadequate altercation with cultural specifics, an unwillingness to adapt their strategy to the cultural environment, or a product-market mismatch based on cultural dissimilarities. In order to implement marketing strategies flexibly and effectively in a completely different environment for a completely different target clientele, it is indispensable for German marketers to learn about Chinese culture mindfully. Therefore, the main objective of this work is to prepare German marketing professionals for conducting marketing activities in the Chinese market by demonstrating the impact of culture on marketing, making German marketers more familiar with Chinese culture, and by providing useful advice for their marketing strategies.

Book Description
In today's world market no one would deny the importance of China marketing and no one will ignore the increasingly tight connections between China and the rest of the world. "As China goes, so goes the world" has become almost a common sense shared by the business leaders of the world. China is roaring into the 21st century with the force of a locomotive and its economy has doubled almost every six years. The great changes that have been made by the Chinese people in every aspect not only impact the domestic market in China but also the international economy (Wu, 2009; Yu et al., 2006). In Karl Gerth's recently published book, As China Goes, So Goes the World (Gerth, 2010), the famous Harvard Business School Spangler Family Professor William Kirby claims that the changes that define Chinese markets today may transform the world in the future. More than thirty years ago the economic system of China was a centralized planning system that remained largely closed to international trade, in which the market mechanism played a limited role in the production and consumption process. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, under the leadership of Deng Xiaoping, China launched its economic system reform and open door campaign. It is this campaign that brought China into a market oriented economy, created a rapidly growing for-profit sector, and made China a major player in the global economy. As such the market mechanism has became an important factor in the economic development of China (Tian and Wang, 2003; Tian 2008). Measured on a purchasing power parity (PPP) basis that adjusts for price differences, China in 2009 stood as the second largest economy in the world after the US, although in per capita terms the country is still lower middle-income (Central Intelligence Agency, 2010; Saxon, 2006). As the market oriented economic system in China is relatively new to the world, China marketing is even newer to marketers in the world. The new concept of China marketing refers to all the issues pertaining to effective marketing in China by domestic marketers and international marketers alike, issues including, but not limited to, product design and development, pricing strategy, distribution and logistics management, and advertising and promotions. As the market in China evolves and changes, marketing strategy must adapt to the changing environment. There is no doubt that the economic transition in China will definitely affect marketing strategies across a wide range of industries, namely telecommunications, the auto industry, the hospitality industry, the airline industry, textiles, cosmetics, and so on (Alon, 2003; Gerth, 2010).
