It is written for Chinese leaders at all management levels who are engaging in Outward Foreign Direct Investment (OFDI) or planning to do so. It highlights essential policy and process changes and emphasises and illustrates the advantages offered by leveraging Chinese cultural values, attitudes and resultant behaviours in a global context. It also offers valuable insights into effective dealing with Chinese companies for foreign company executives and foreign government policy-makers and officials in target and host nations, as well as for those engaged in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in China. The book contains extensive Chinese company and industry case examples and topic-specific findings, plus analysis of individual Chinese companies’ successes and failures, as well as appropriate strategic and operational best practice for both Chinese and non-Chinese companies involved in cross-cultural merger and acquisitions.
