Course Description

 

No business and no government can ignore China. The People's Republic of China is the world's second-largest economy and is on track to surpass the US economyin the future. China represents enormous opportunities for businesses and public policies, but it also presents a set of tough challenges. This course is designed to provide a framework for understanding these issues. As several other emerging market economies hope to follow China's footsteps, the conceptual framework in the course should help one appreciate the risks and rewards in these economies better as well. In this course, we will discuss what motivates the Chinese as savers, consumers, workers, and entrepreneurs. We will examine both the people factor and the government factor that underpin China's growth story. We will not be satisfied with simply repeating the conventional wisdoms, but will probe deeper than what we often read or hear. We will also combine conceptual knowledge with practical insight by inviting distinguished speakers with rich business or government experience to share their perspectives on China's business environment and other related topics.
