China Goes Global examines the forces behind China’s ambition for its companies to become global players and brand names, either through investment or mergers and acquisitions.
Despite its determined drive to build a cohort of homegrown global champions, China’s “Go Global” policy faces significant obstacles. Political sensitivities, especially in the US, a lack of experience in managing international operations and contrasting corporate cultures, all create complications. Nonetheless, China Inc’s ambitions should be taken seriously.
Asia’s Emerging Giants assesses the challenges India and China, the world’s two most populous nations, both face and pose as their economic momentum gathers pace.
It is clear that their growing influence on the diplomatic and security front - coupled with their economic power - stands to re-order the established hierarchy of world superpowers. Less clear is how their rise will affect patterns of investment and comparative advantage and how Asia’s two giants will interact with each other, the region and the global economy.
The first of this year’s Asia Insight reports Transforming Trade examines how the development of Asia’s infrastructure is driving global upheaval in trade, transport and the logistics supply chain.
Asia’s economic resurgence, powered by China’s rise, has resulted in a flood of consumer goods to the US and Europe and a reverse flow of commodities and components to Asia’s manufacturing centres.
This report is a comprehensive study of the transformation in trade and transport - from the factory floor to the supermarket shelves.
