In the rapid growth of the Chinese economy as the „world’s factory and
market“, while this process has been supported by foreign companies, local
Chinese companies have also emerged in the brief span of about 10 years to
become major players. This is an extremely rare case in the world history
and recently even among the BRICs and the NIEs. One cannot help but wonder
what strategic positions foreign firms have adopted to cope with the
extraordinary, fierce challenges they have had to face from local Chinese
firms. Our workshop discussed and illuminated the corporate activities and
competitive and cooperative strategies of both Chinese and foreign firms
from the perspective of Japanese, European, US and Asian firms.
