Globalization, Competition and Growth in China


Book Description

Presenting original work and new thinking on a wide range of important issues, the book explores the current state of globalization, competition and growth in China. China has produced an economic miracle since the late 1970s in its transition from a planned to a market economy. This remarkable economic performance was brought about by an open-door policy and gradual integration with the world economy, culminating in China’s admission into the World Trade Organisation in 2001. Studies included in this book focus on issues such as foreign direct investment, international trade, reforms in the financial sector, the development of rural township and village enterprises, the investment strategies of multinational corporations, and economic growth.

哈佛商業評論2008年3月號


Book Description

以確定的自我,邁向不確定的年代 什麼是好的管理?多少管理大師、高階主管用盡腦汁、詞藻、圖表,試圖找到完美答案。記憶中,英國的《經濟學人》雜誌在2002年,也就是網路泡沫化、911恐怖攻擊後,舉世陷入經濟停滯之際,卻有個極簡潔、又極意駭的說法:誠實(be honest)、有備(be prepared)、節儉(be frugal)。 今天全球的經濟局勢,也正陷入混沌。台灣的企業也正謹慎地望向未來,既期待又不免擔心。在此不定時刻,前述簡要的準則,回歸基本,去除浮誇,正是最確定恰當的守則。 要誠實,以面對自我與大局,不管是好是壞,都需坦承以對、並誠實以告;要有備,用心作出判斷,指引自己決斷,不管會來的是橫逆還是勝利,都作好最佳準備;要節儉,以簡約的行事與單純的成本,處理最多的要務,追求最適當的效率。本期《哈佛商業評論》的主題雖不是直接討論什麼是好的管理,卻極能反映好的經理人面對不確定與挑戰時,如何自持。 身處台灣,無法自外於國際經濟環境,尤其源自近鄰中國的高度影響。為了解大陸經濟的現況與未來,我們特請巫和懋教授分析中國經濟情勢,進而指出接下來的發展重點。 巫教授出身台灣,以賽局理論研究知名國內,約一年半前,自台大經濟系轉赴北京大學中國經濟研究中心任教。讀過他的文章,我們看到一個成功與挑戰接踵而至的中國經濟。對中國的決策者,外貿的成功反而逼促釐清經濟發展終極目標的必要,必須動態而彈性地邁向健康的成長。對台灣,了解中國,思考自我,是此時最重要的治理要務之一。 全球化與區域整合後,企業環境的變動益發快速,不確定性急遽升高。許多企業近年都經歷巨變。尤其當此全球為景氣是否反轉而疑慮不定之際,《哈佛商業評論》本期製作「逆勢成長力」專題,探討企業在外在環境不利、內部資源不足、成長動能將竭之時,如何避免劇變發生,或如何能突圍再起。 為此一專題,我們與HBR 英文版同步刊出〈重返企業榮景〉(When Growth Stalls)一文,分析五十家成長反轉下挫的企業,找出共同的徵兆、成因,以及預防落入衰敗的實戰策略;而〈上前線擁抱客戶〉(Transforming Strategy One Customer at a Time),則由商務資訊巨擘湯普森執行長親自回顧,湯普森如何在面對產業前景不力時,以新的戰略,轉型為新形態的資訊集團,再造新局。 為以更豐富角度探討處於逆境的成長之道,我們也刊出由管理大師哈默爾執筆〈花小錢大創新〉(Funding Growth in an Age of Austerity),探討企業在內部資源匱乏、外在不利時,最佳的創新做法;而〈優勢資源戰〉(Competing on Resources),是由哈佛商學院策略大師蒙哥馬利等撰寫的經典文章,提出後深刻影響策略領域的思想,在此可以提醒企業由自身資源思考,制定策略,突破外界限制。 正如本期所刊醫療業主管珍妮佛.達利訪問(29頁),身為主管必須堅持原則與使命,一如當她接任新職時,就把每一天當作自己在位的「最後一天」般要求自我。類似的堅持,即為經理人處身今日世界的行事心態,是誠實、有備、節儉的基礎。
