Product Description
The 50th title in the HBR paperback series highlights what every company must know to successfully enter and compete in the world’s fastest-growing economy
The potential opportunity in China is huge: it is home to a quarter of the world’s population, domestic consumer spending in China is growing by up to 10% a year, and relaxed regulatory restraints have opened China up to unprecedented levels of foreign investment.
This book will help multinational corporations and the managers who work in them understand the implications of China’s current stage of development and develop strategies for effectively competing in this environment.

Good but isolated perspectives
Like other HBR articles, the articles in this collection on Doing Business in China are well written and presented, with each examining a particular issue in a fairly coherent way.
However, as they are written by different authors, there is an inevitable lack of cohesion among the articles. Indeed, we now know that the China challenge is multifaceted. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an integrated framework that distils what it takes to succeed in China (what to do as well as how to think) by running a central, balanced theme across all these perspectives.
It is fair to say that although eight quality articles are put together in one volume, this book lacks the above mentioned central theme.
To find such a central theme, you will have to read Dr Wei Wang's The China Executive: Marrying Western and Chinese Strengths to Generate Profitability from Your Investment in China. In it, you will find a roadmap to business success in 21st-century China.
long distance observations
Written by several China watchers many years ago on current China affairs. Some papers are better than others. But they are all long distance observations indeed. For an insider's view on current Chinese politics, business and society, I recommend this new book: China's global reach: markets, multinationals, and globalization by a leading Chinese commentator George Zhibin Gu, which offers countless inside stories about what is happening inside China.
