China: Opportunity or Threat?

Dr. Oded Shenkar
Ford Motor Company Chair in Global Business, Fisher College of Business, The Ohio State University

 

Particularly in this political season, we are confronted with many opposing images of China. It is a country with a growing middle class who represent potential consumers of American goods and services, but it is also frequently accused of not following global norms. And while China seeks to spur its domestic consumption, it is also investing heavily in Africa and holds more U.S. debt than any other country. Is China a threat or an opportunity? Join us as we explore the complexity of U.S.-China relations in the
21st Century.

Oded Shenkar holds degree in East-Asian (Chinese) Studies and Sociology from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and a PhD from Columbia University. He is currently the Ford Motor Company Chair in Global Business Management and Professor of Management and Human Resources at the Fisher College of Business, The Ohio State University. Dr. Shenkar has authored a number of books about business and China including "The Chinese Century," which has been translated into twelve languages, and most recently, "Copycats: how smart companies use imitation to gain a strategic edge." His work has been cited in numerous publications, such as the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, and The Economist, as well as on the radio (e.g. NPR, CBS) and television (BBC, CNN, CCTV Reuters, ABC, Canada Business TV, Bloomberg). Furthermore, Dr. Shenkar has been an adviser to firms in the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, Korea, China and Israel, to governments, international institutions, and universities.

A book sale and signing will take place following
