Chinese economy has been growing briskly over the last two decades and more.It is also changing global economic pattern forcefully and rapidly. It seems that the world is caught ill prepared for the dramatic changes in China.This makes it all the more necessary for China to know itself and the world better,and for the world to understand China more.In that sense,to study China and discover the worldwide impact of the Chinese phenomenon is a global topic.Howerever,devspite the fact that learning Chinese as a foreign language is coming in vogue throughout the world,by far few foreigners can read Chinese without difficulty.CHINA ECONOMIST,therefore,comes in handy for our foreign readers as an English periodical that focuses on economics and business management as well as other fields of social sciences in China.

"Just looking at things a bit differently can make all the difference because even--and sometimes especially--experts don't always know best." So states van Agtmael, founder of an investment advisory firm, who coined the phrase emerging markets to replace the negative connotation of Third World. He sets out in this book to profile 25 world-class emerging multinationals, which include Haier (Chinese brand in household appliances), Embraer (Brazilian producer of jet aircraft for regional markets), High Tech Computer Corp. (Taiwanese designers of sophisticated, converged hand-held devices), and Hyundai Heavy Industries (Korean shipbuilder, the world's largest). The author quotes Goldman Sachs' projections that the largest emerging markets, China, Brazil, India, and Russia, will overtake the U.S., Japan, Germany, France, the UK, Italy, and Canada by 2040. Understanding these companies and their strategies provides important insight into the future of globalization and the competitive challenges of this century. T

A family business prospers through a series of brutal consolidations and rational growth. Then senseless internal conflicts lead to a long line of demented CEOs, monumental expansion, and foolish diversification—at a high cost in shattered lives. In the end, a series of reverse takeovers leaves the once-proud but now overextended and corrupt parent company at the mercy of less-civilized operations that previously cringed at the grandeur of the corporate brand. Enron? WorldCom? Try Rome, whose rise and fall carry a moral that lingers to this day for the managers, employees, and students of any global enterprise. Stanley Bing—whose satirical business books are as savagely funny as they are insightful—mingles business parable and cautionary tale into an ingenious, often hilarious new telling of the story of the Roman Empire.

In recent years the world economy has been undergoing drastic changes, the East Asian miracle, the financial crisis, and today, globalization and the fundamental changes associated with the "new economy". This book integrates these developments with macroeconomics for business managers and policymakers. Macroeconomics is essential background for the business manager and policymaker. Consequently macroeconomics is an integral part of the business curriculum in mature and developing countries alike. And well it should be. The economy affects decisions by investors, manufacturers, distributors, importers and exporters, etc. in all parts of the world. Often, it is the difference between growth and profitability on one hand, and stagnation or failure on the other. In recent years as the world economy has undergone overwhelming changes, especially in East Asia and now in the advanced countries, understanding what is going on in the local economy and "out there in the world" has become a particular challenge to

The Asian life insurance industry is truly entering an inflection point. Coming off massive growth from the past several years, the industry has suffered greatly, along with the rest of the financial industry, in the 2008 financial crisis. Most life insurers across Asia have lost tremendous value in the wake of the crisis; a few are in significant distress. It is important not to lose sight of the longer-term outlook though: fueled by macroeconomic factors such as the emergence of the middle class, high savings rates, and the growing need to save and invest for retirement, Asia's life insurance market is expected to grow at double the rate of the US and European market over the next decade. The time now is ripe for insurers to establish regional partnerships to access these markets. This authoritative book analyses the life insurance landscape in Asia, including traditional life insurance, bancassurance, etc. It comprehensively overviews the Asian insurance industry, based on extensive research provided by th

The microfinance revolution, begun with independent initiatives in Latin America and South Asia starting in the 1970s, has so far allowed 65 million poor people around the world to receive small loans without collateral, build up assets, and buy insurance. This comprehensive survey of microfinance seeks to bridge the gap in the existing literature on microfinance between academic economists and practitioners. Both authors have pursued the subject not only in academia but in the field; Beatriz Armendariz founded a microfinance bank in Chiapas, Mexico, and Jonathan Morduch has done fieldwork in Bangladesh, China, and Indonesia. The authors move beyond the usual theoretical focus in the microfinance literature and draw on new developments in theories of contracts and incentives. They challenge conventional assumptions about how poor households save and build assets and how institutions can overcome market failures. The book provides an overview of microfinance by addressing a range of issues, including les

Insight and analysis on the strategies that have led to China's rapid economic expansion China's rapid economic growth has made it a vital market for the biggest multinational corporations, most of which have invested heavily in China. Yet those corporations face their toughest competition not from other multinationals, but from China's own homegrown businesses. China's entrepreneur class has grown and their businesses are succeeding primarily due to their knowledge of the domestic market, quick adaptation to market changes, and their resourcefulness. To paraphrase Sun Tzu, it is best to know one's enemy. Made in China gives executives at multinationals the inside insight they need to compete with China's homegrown businesses before they lose out. Winter Nie (Lausanne, Switzerland) is a professor in the Operations and Service Management programs at IMD. Katherine Xin (Shanghai, China) is a professor at IMD with extensive teaching, research, and consulting experience at universities and companies arou

Beautifully illustrated by Kensuke Okabayashi, this enthralling edition of Patrick Lencioni's massive bestseller gives readers a new format in which to understand the fascinating, complex world of teams. Kathryn Petersen, Decision Tech's CEO, faces the ultimate leadership crisis: Uniting a team in such disarray that it threatens to bring down the entire company. Will she succeed? Will she be fired? Will the company fail? Lencioni's gripping tale serves as a timeless reminder that leadership requires as much courage as it does insight.

In Built to Serve, Dan Sanders, CEO of the award-winning, service-oriented United Supermarkets, makes this bold claim: the prevailing business culture is broken and a radical transformation is required-a paradigm shift that reshapes our understanding of the true purpose of work. Leaders have a choice-continue to chase a broken price-profit model and suffer the consequences or build a culture committed to servanthood and discover the fulfillment evident when people see their work as a ministry. The choice leaders make will not only determine economic success and failure but also will determine their organization's long term impact on humanity. The time is now. Sanders reveals how your people can adopt United's mission of “Ultimate Service, Superior Performance, Positive Impact.” He distills valuable lessons from nine decades of a people-centered culture that consistently delivers outstanding customer service and reveals how you can develop a fully engaged, productive workforce.

“A playful guide to the economics of everyday life，and as such……something of an elder sibling to Steven Levitt’s wild child，the hugely successful Freakonomics。” ——The Economist “The ECONOMY ISN’A BUNCH OF RATHER BULL STATISTICS WITHnames like GDP （gross domestic product），” notes Tim Harford，columnist and regular guest on NPR’s Marketplace， “economics is about who gets what and why。” In this acclaimed and riveting book–part exposé， part user’s manual–the astute and entertaining columnist from the Financial Times demystifies the ways in which money works in the world。 From why the coffee in your cup costs so much to why efficiency is not necessarily the answer to ensuring a fair society， from improving health care to curing crosstown traffic－all the dirty little secrets of dollars and cents are delightfully revealed by The Undercover Economist
