That makes him a canny and controversial prophet.

Christoph Alexander Bliss, Ronald Haddock, and Kaj Grichnik Mon, 24 Mar 2008 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.strategy-business.com/li/leadingideas/li00067?gko=2d71b http://www.strategy-business.com/li/leadingideas/li00046?gko=525a0 Their raw potential is clear, but Chinese companies will have to master the imperatives of "soft power" to reach the next level of international growth. Edward Tse, Andrew Cainey, and Ronald Haddock Mon, 17 Dec 2007 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.strategy-business.com/li/leadingideas/li00046?gko=525a0 http://www.strategy-business.com/li/leadingideas/li00032?gko=dda89 As governments wrestle over safeguarding intellectual property rights in China with no solution in sight, more and more companies are taking the problem into their own hands.

Edward Tse Thu, 06 Dec 2007 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.strategy-business.com/press/article/07304?gko=9b267 http://www.boozallen.com/media/file/Shifting_Nature_of_Chinese_Industry_v2.pdf While the international significance of China's economic transformation is a well-worn issue, the effects of a rapidly-changing competitive landscape on Chinese firms are rarely discussed. Chinese managers are asking themselves how they will develop sustainable competitive advantages, how they will move up the value chain, and how they will relate to Western multinationals. Even the best-performing Chinese businesses recognize that they cannot continue on their current development course--and those who successfully answer these questions are likely to come out on top. Edward Tse Tue, 26 Jun 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.boozallen.com/media/file/Shifting_Nature_of_Chinese_Industry_v2.pdf http://www.strategy-business.com/press/article/07106?gko=d6046 Today's emerging markets, from China to Eastern Europe, have strikingly similar life cycles of development. Companies that recognize these patterns can pursue global consumers strategically. For no matter how much tastes vary by region, the whole world loves flatbread. Alonso Martinez and Ronald Haddock Thu, 01 Mar 2007 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.strategy-business.com/press/article/07106?gko=d6046 http://www.strategy-business.com/press/article/07104?gko=a8c38 The world's urban infrastructure needs a $40 trillion makeover. Cities everywhere face gridlock and obsolescence on one hand, and competition for global business and wealthier citizens on the other. The solution: Reinvigorate electricity, water, and transportation systems by integrating finance, governance, technology, and design. Viren Doshi, Gary Schulman, and Daniel Gabaldon Thu, 01 Mar 2007 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.strategy-business.com/press/article/07104?gko=a8c38 http://www.strategy-business.com/press/article/07114?gko=f815e Like the hordes of Americans who explored Europe in the 1960s and the droves of Japanese who traveled in the 1980s, a big wave of Chinese tourists is set to hit the global travel industry. Companies looking to grow in this segment will not be disappointed. To capitalize on the new boom, hotel operators, airlines, and touring companies should start building a good understanding of the travel habits and preferences of Chinese nationals traveling abroad, with particular attention to how they're evolving. Ronald Haddock, Kevin Ma, and Edward Tse Thu, 01 Mar 2007 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.strategy-business.com/press/article/07114?gko=f815e http://www.strategy-business.com/press/article/06409?gko=cc002 Three emerging trends are likely to transform the future of the auto industry. These trends include social mobility in emerging markets, the environmental impact of increased automotive production, and an expanding lower-end auto market. Manufacturers and producers that start planning now for the rising rate of vehicle ownership in Asia and other emerging markets will be the most likely to profit as globalization impacts the auto industry.
