More about the talk
The history-making development of the Chinese economy has entered a new phase. China is moving aggressively from a strategy of imitation to one of innovation. Driven both by domestic needs and by global ambition, China is establishing itself at the forefront of technological innovation. Western businesses need to prepare for a tidal wave of innovation from China that is about to hit Western markets, and Chinese businesses need to understand the critical importance of innovation in their future.
This talk will explain this epic transformation and propose strategies for both Western and Chinese companies:
- Why China has advantages for innovation both on the supply and the demand side
- What is different about Chinese companies’ approach to innovation
- How foreign companies are not simply transferring technology from advanced countries to China, but are creating technology locally—for China and the world.
- How foreign companies can overcome the challenges of conducting innovation in China
- What leadership and strategy lessons that foreign companies can learn from China
