A new book, MADE IN CHINA: What Western Managers Can Learn From
Trailblazing Chinese Entrepreneurs by Don Sull of the London Business
School, is leading the way among the extensive discussions taking
place about aggressive business tactics by Chinese organizations.
Following recent moves by Chinese firms on U.S. companies like
Chevron, Maytag, and IBM, the power of the world’s developing
economies like that in China has been a hot topic. Sull contends that
the recent moves are indicative of a broad phenomenon fuelled by
fiercely competative firms rising out of such markets. Vancouver may
be poised to gain from the success of our friends to the East, as
recent immigration has positioned many of these entrepeneurs close to
home.
