Worth Reading | |
China's Long March to Innovation Success
China's journey from a seriously poor, autarkic economy to the "shop floor of the world" took a bit more than two decades. Today, less than a decade later, it appears poised to evolve into becoming a global brand innovator. But can China actually make this great leap forward? Many observers think that China is ripe for innovative leadership. See IMD professor Bill Fischer's post: The Ideas Business @ Forbes
Blogs Erode China Censorship with Posts About Train Crash
While blogs have exposed wrongdoers and broken news before, the millions of blog posts about the high-speed train wreck and casualties may signal the arrival of weibos as a social force to be reckoned with, even in the face of government efforts to rein in the Internet's influence. See New York Times, July 28, 2011
Fake Apple Store Spotted in China
The Apple Stores looks so real we still can't believe it isn't. They excelled in mimicking or at least reinventing everything except for a few giveaways. See Endgadget, July 20, 2011
China: The New Assertiveness
China is the world's new place to dream big and strike it rich. Inspired and motivated by Robin Li of Baidu and Jack Ma of Alibaba, a new generation of bright and ambitious talents are creating a splash. But, watch out. Don't get in their way!
