With many international businesses experiencing sluggish performance or decline in their traditional markets, China seems to offer the chance of heady growth. For those who get their approach right, China pays off. But for others, there are many obstacles to be negotiated on the road to success.
For many companies who come to China, the market is the ultimate draw. However the hope of rewards can also mean neglecting a minefield of risks, leading to the failure of even well-established European brands.
Mr. Chris Torrens, author of the recently published Doing Business in China, will discuss new investment frontiers in China and look at sectoral, geographical and regulatory developments that impact multinational investors. He will also look at what some of the key challenges may be five to 10 years down the road that international companies need to be aware of.
We look forward to welcoming you to this breakfast event to discover more about the insights in this authorative new book.
