Event Details
Despite this gap, Chinese companies are going global. Many Chinese companies are buying energy and natural resource companies, but this is changing as they develop distinct brands and move away from being no-name contract manufacturers or purchasers of raw materials. Are Chinese companies at the same stage of development as Japanese companies were in the 1960s? Is Haier a trend setter and model or did it just get lucky as an isolated example? Did the Olympic Games held in Beijing accelerate the globalization of Chinese firms or raise the bar too high for them once again?
Quinn-Accurso, a Booth alum and member of the International Roundtable, takes on this subject, having completed a four-year stint with Motorola in China and a consulting project this year with a Chinese company in Shenzhen. She will give this presentation with the flair of a pundit and the insight of an accounting professional.
