Description:

The rise of Chinese corporate giants reshapes the landscape of global business, marking a shift in economic power and competitive dynamics. Leading Chinese firms expand beyond domestic markets, navigating regulatory environments, cultural differences, and geopolitical tensions. Companies employ various strategies, from state-supported growth and technological innovation to mergers, acquisitions, and localized partnerships. However, they continue to face challenges building global trust and brand recognition. Analyzing these cases may further reveal the complexities of global expansion and the evolving role of Chinese enterprises in the international economy.

Cases on Chinese Corporate Giants and Global Expansion explores the rise of a new generation of Chinese companies shaping the global economic landscape. It examines how these enterprises, ranging from tech unicorns to consumer goods disruptors, leverage digital transformation, localization strategies, global capital, and policy alignment to compete with established multinational corporations. This book covers topics such as global business, supply chains, and climate governance, and is a useful resource for business owners, policymakers, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
