Book Description
If Amazon can't win in China, can anyone? When Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos visited China in 2007, he expected that one day soon China would be a double-digit percentage of Amazon's sales. Yet, by 2019, Amazon, the most powerful and successful ecommerce company in the world, had quit China. In Winning in China: 8 Stories of Success and Failure in the World's Largest Economy, Wharton experts Lele Sang and Karl Ulrich explore the success and failure of several well-known companies, including Hyundai, LinkedIn, Sequoia Capital, and InMobi, as more and more businesses look to reap profits from the demand of 1.4 billion people. Sang, Global Fellow at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and Ulrich, Vice Dean of Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the Wharton School, answer four critical questions: Which factors explain the success (or failure) of foreign companies entering China?What challenges and pitfalls can a company entering China expect to encounter? How can a prospective entrant realistically assess its chances? Which managerial decisions are critical, and which approaches are most effective? Sang and Ulrich answer these questions by examining the stories of eight well-known and respected companies that have entered China. They study: How Norwegian Cruise Line's entry into China displays how cultural differences can boost or sink different companies; How Intel, one of the oldest, most respected firms in Silicon Valley, thrived in a country that seems to favor agile upstarts; How Zegna, the Italian luxury brand, has emerged as another surprising success story and how it plans to navigate new headwinds from the COVID-19 pandemic.Through these engaging and illuminating stories, Sang and Ulrich offer a framework and path for organizations looking for a way to successfully enter the world's largest economy. History can be a teacher, and China, a country with 3,500 years of written history, has much to teach.

Book Description
As more and more American businesses have set up operations in China, American business owners have had to concern themselves with respecting how Chinese values and beliefs and how China's changing economic and political climates relate to the business world. American businesses that have been successful in China, such as General Electric, Children's Television Workshop, Holiday Inn, DaimlerChrysler and the Foxboro Company, to name just a few, know how important a consideration for Chinese culture is in business operations. Their efforts in China are profiled in this work to serve as case studies for others interested in doing business in China. This book also examines the Chinese worldview, a fusion of Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and communism, and the effects of globalization on business ventures. It also considers the changing nature of Chinese consumerism, highlighting significant differences between urban and rural populations and a distinctive generational divide. It ends by offering some general conclusions as well as suggestions for those interested in doing business in China.

Book Description
When China opened its doors to the West in the late 1970s, Western businesses jumped at the chance to sell their products to the most populous nation in the world. Boardrooms everywhere buzzed with excitement?a Coke for every citizen, a television for every family, a personal computer for every office. At no other time have the institutions of Western capitalism tried to do business with a communist state to the extent that they did in China under Deng Xiaoping. Yet, over the decade leading up to the bloody events in and around Tiananmen Square, that experiment produced growing disappointment on both sides, and a vision of capturing the world's largest market faded.Picked as one of Fortune Magazine's "75 Smartest Books We Know," this updated version of Beijing Jeep, traces the history of the stormy romance between American business and Chinese communism through the experiences of American Motors and its operation in China, Beijing Jeep, a closely watched joint venture often visited by American politicians and Chinese leaders. Jim Mann explains how some of the world's savviest executives completely misjudged the business climate and recounts how the Chinese, who acquired valuable new technology at virtually no expense to themselves, ultimately outcapitalized the capitalists. And, in a new epilogue, Mann revisits and updates the events which constituted the main issues of the first edition.Elegantly written, brilliantly reported, Beijing Jeep is a cautionary tale about the West's age-old quest to do business in the Middle Kingdom.

Book Description
The defining geopolitical contest of the twenty-first century is between China and the US. But is it avoidable? And if it happens, is the outcome already inevitable? China and America are world powers without serious rivals. They eye each other warily across the Pacific; they communicate poorly; there seems little natural empathy. A massive geopolitical contest has begun. America prizes freedom; China values freedom from chaos.America values strategic decisiveness; China values patience.America is becoming society of lasting inequality; China a meritocracy.America has abandoned multilateralism; China welcomes it. Kishore Mahbubani, a diplomat and scholar with unrivalled access to policymakers in Beijing and Washington, has written the definitive guide to the deep fault lines in the relationship, a clear-eyed assessment of the risk of any confrontation, and a bracingly honest appraisal of the strengths and weaknesses, and superpower eccentricities, of the US and China.

Book Description
This work is about strategies American companies should use when doing business with China. It demonstrates the benefits of co-operation, such as the path breaking 2005 deal between IBM's consumer computer division and China's Legend, resulting in the creation of China's Lenovo Computer Company. The authors review other examples of U.S.-Chinese joint ventures and present new strategies for how American and Chinese firms can work together in areas and ways that are presently untapped. Chinese companies are moving into position now to quickly emerge as giant multinationals that displace or acquire Fortune 1000 companies sooner than many anticipate. That is why this is such an important and compelling work that will become a "must read" for corporate executives concerned about their existing and future business in China. A western company without a carefully laid out "China Strategy" will find it increasingly difficult to remain profitable in other markets. And the "China Strategies" of most American companies have not been as successful as "Chinas Strategy" of dealing with its competitors. So, how can a foreign company profit from Chinas emerging global economic dominance? Western companies and governments that focus on strategies that fulfil the needs of China and Chinese trading partners, will have advantages over their competitors who do not. This controversial book reveals the key fallacies American political and business leaders face in the relationship between American and Chinese styles of capitalism and government. Collaborating profitably with emerging, giant, global Chinese corporations may be a more rewarding strategy than ignoring them or trying to compete with them.
