Very insightful to know about this evolution from an a academic and industry perspective..
Very good short and easy to learn
Very good and well-framed presentation that provided insights into the "clinching" factors for Chinese companies vis-a-vis foreign ones. Well structured brief that highlighted the importance of feasibility and speed ("Quick and Dirty") vs the "complete" product which may fall behind the first mover.
Good background on how business is conducted in China and the effect of supply chain ecosystem
It's full of marvelous information. It really helped me understand why Giants failed in China and how China is growing very rapidly. Thanks!
