No business and no government can ignore China. The Peoples Republic of China is the second largest economy in the world and is on course to overtake the US economy sometime in the future. China represents huge 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 Chinas footsteps, the conceptual framework in the course should help one to better appreciate risks and rewards in these economies as well. In this course, we will discuss what motivates the Chinese as savers, consumers, workers, and entrepreneurs. We will explore both the people factor and the government factor underlying Chinas 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 Chinas business environment and other related topics.
