May 2-9, 2020
Professors Jane Zhu and Ming Cheng



If you want to be successful in global business, you need to be successful in China. China is arguably the most important market in the world today. It is the largest market in terms of size, the third largest in terms of economic strength, and the fastest growing, with rates at over 9% annually for the past 10 years. China is the engine of growth for many MNCs (multinational companies) and considered the future in terms of growth opportunities. The Chinese market is booming, but firms need to face and adapt to the cultural, economic, and political realities in China.
