Part of the China Author Series
Supported by the China Committee
Speaker:
James McGregor, Greater China Chairman, APCO Worldwide; Author of "No Ancient Wisdom, No Followers: The Challenges of Chinese Authoritarian Capitalism" and "One Billion Customers: Lessons from the Front Lines of Doing Business in China"
Join us for the third in our series of webinars where we are joined by leading authors focusing on China. McGregor will discuss the evolution of doing business in China for multinationals over the three decades he has lived in China. From the 1990s when foreign companies were giddy and often bumbling, to the 2000s when they learned their lessons and benefitted from China’s accession to the WTO, to the 2010s when the power shifted to China and life got more complicated.
Details on how to join will be sent via email by 5pm the day before the webinar.
