Description
In the next few decades, fueled by economic liberalization, China and
India will join the U.S. to become the three largest economies in the world.
China and India will provide enormous upside potential for U.S. firms, as
well as risks. Therefore, executives must develop strategies to capitalize
on these opportunities and to manage potential threats.
China and India provide vast opportunities for trade and investments in all
major sectors including information and communication technologies, energy,
chemicals, natural resources, textiles, metals, heavy engineering, consumer
goods and financial services. Promising new markets for every conceivable
durable and non-durable goods are being created by the rising income levels
of the world’s 40% of the population residing in China and India. Further,
global companies can benefit from large and skilled, yet comparatively
low-cost human resources for the entire spectrum of activities – from
knowledge-intensive R&D, design, and software services, to labor-intensive
manufacturing activities and business/knowledge processes.
These two countries may also pose significant competitive threats. There is
a growing tide of emerging Chinese and Indian multinational companies (MNCs)
like Lenovo, Haier, ZTE, Infosys, Wipro, Tata and Ranbaxy. How should the
U.S. compete against these emerging MNCs?
Further, doing business in China and India is not without risks. There are
many challenges and risks spanning infrastructural, social, cultural,
political, regulatory, intellectual property, and labor laws. An
understanding of these issues provides managers with the analytical tools to
make prudent decisions and to develop risk mitigating strategies. If your
firm wants to be competitive in the 21st century, you must understand when
it makes sense to outsource and/or offshore production, services, design or
R&D to China and India. Equally important is knowing when to shift
procurement to Chinese and Indian firms.
This workshop provides executives and senior managers insights and
strategies to develop opportunities in China and India, while recognizing
the threats and risks. Additional featured speakers will include
representatives of the General Counsel offices of the India and China and
business people who have extensive experience doing business in and with
China and India.
