We'll examine the successes and discuss the opportunities and challenges for the future.

In addition to the numerous trade associations already in existence-with their varying rules and purposes-far more are being contemplated or lobbied for globally.

There is no issue more crucial to China's future-and nothing more bedeviling to foreign and domestic companies doing business in China-than management. It is the Achilles heel of Chinese reform. Chinese companies traditionally have followed the top-down model almost exclusively. To achieve success globally, China needs to advance beyond this model and multinationals need to find ways to build smooth partnerships within China. James McGregor, author of One Billion Customers: Lessons from the Front Lines of Doing Business in China, will lead an examination of these issues through two prominent case studies: the CICC deal of ten years ago and the pending IBM/Lenovo merger.
