When China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001, most experts expected the WTO rules and procedures would liberalize China and make it "a responsible stakeholder in the liberal world order". But the experts made the wrong bet. China today is liberalizing neither economically nor politically but, if anything, becoming more authoritarian and mercantilist. In this book, renowned globalization and Asia expert Clyde Prestowitz describes the key challenges posed by China and the strategies America and the Free World must adopt to meet them.

"A los catorce años conseguí mi primer trabajo. Fui mensajero en un almacén de vestidos y como era tan inquieto, rápido, curioso y enérgico, me pusieron el apodo de "Pulga Arrecha". Desde entonces siempre he sido así, no veo obstáculos porque la vida solo nos ofrece oportunidades. Nunca he dejado nada para el día siguiente y mi clave ha sido insistir siempre.

For the first time in any modern language, a female scholar and translator reimagines The Art of War. Sun Tzu’s ancient book of strategy and psychology has as much to tell us today as when it was first written 2,500 years ago. In a world forever at odds, his rules for anticipating the motivations and strategies of our competitors never cease to inspire leaders of all kinds.

"L'Art de la guerre" de Sun Tzu offre bien plus que des recommandations pour l'action. Il donne les clés qui permettent "d'édifier la configuration victorieuse". Il décrit un état d'esprit plus que des tactiques, et c'est probablement pour cela qu'il vieillit si bien et continue à connaître un franc succès en dépit de ses 2 500 ans. Domitille Germain, consultante et sinologue propose une lecture fine du célèbre livre de Sun Tzu.

Is economic—or broader—conflict, well beyond the trade and technology war that has already erupted, inevitable between the world’s two superpowers? Will their clash produce a new economic leadership vacuum akin to the 1930s, when Great Britain was unable to play its traditional leadership role and a rising United States was unwilling to step in to save the global order?

In this Springer Brief, the author introduces how Chinese firms are successfully using their own variants of the "Silicon Valley Approach" to management. The author begins the discussion by deliberating on the extent to which management models need to be re-invented. A fundamentally new approach is then introduced, which already exists and is proving itself in practice at some of Silicon Valley's most dynamic firms. The author finds that the Chinese management models, in comparison, may be even more advanced. If true, this could have profound implications for managers everywhere.

When Peter Drucker wrote Concept of the Corporation in 1946, he revealed what made the large American corporation tick. Similarly, The Art of Japanese Management by Richard Pascale in 1981 explained the unique practices developed by the Japanese to bring that country's economy out of the ashes. The emerging Chinese juggernauts - the Alibabas, Lenovos, and Haiers - need similar revelation since they are a different breed in their own right.

Gupta and Wang explain how many MNCs view China and India solely from the lens of off-shoring and cost-reduction, and focusing their marketing strategies on only the top 5-10% of the population.
