Publisher Comments:

Da China ein Fünftel der Weltbevölkerung stellt, wird es nicht nur einen großen Einfluß auf den Weltmarkt ausüben, sondern auch wesentlich auf die Volkswirtschaften Europas und Amerikas einwirken. James Ogilvy und Peter Schwartz stellen in "China's Future" drei faszinierende Szenarien zu Chinas Zukunft vor. Szenario Nr. 1 basiert auf einer dezentralisierten stadtbezogenen Wirtschaft, Nr. 2 zeigt die Vetternwirtschaft als Ausgangspunkt der neuen Wirtschaft und Nr. 3 zeichnet China, wie es im Sumpf der Korruption versinkt. Die Autoren analysieren ganz genau, welche Auswirkungen jede einzelne dieser Möglichkeiten auf die Weltwirtschaft hätte. Es bleibt nur die Frage unbeantwortet, für welchen Weg sich China entscheidet.

Book News Annotation:

China is the world's third largest economy and America's biggest trading partner in Asia. This work presents three versions of what China's future might look like and what that will mean for governments and companies doing business with or in China. Scenarios are presented in narrative from, explaining predetermined elements, assumptions, and variables underlying each scenario and making suggestions about how companies can use each scenario to plan business strategy. The authors are partners in a consulting and research firm. They pioneered the process of business scenarios in the early 1990s.

Synopsis:

As it emerges from centuries of social, military, and political strife, China--which represents one fifth of the world's population and its third largest economy--is poised to play a major role in global business. But what will that role be? In this book, two experts, who have created business scenarios for some of the world's largest organizations--including Royal Dutch/Shell, AT&T, IBM, and Motorola--present three very informed versions of how China's future may unfold in the coming years and what it means to the rest of the world. These scenarios provide a foundation on which today's companies can build business strategies for years to come.
