How Corporate Innovation Works in China
VIEW EVENT DETAILSA Conversation with Edward Tse
China has long ago shed its copycat image. Chinese companies, especially in the technology sector, are growing and innovating rapidly. Be it drones, or electric cars, or artificial intelligence: Increasingly, the things and ideas that will make up our future come from China.
How does entrepreneurship work in a country that still relies heavily on top-down government control? How do Chinese companies innovate, and how is that different from how Western organizations work?
Asia Society Switzerland discusses these questions with Edward Tse, founder and CEO of Gao Feng Advisory Company, and one of China’s leading strategy consultants.
