China Business and State – Before- and After-Corona

China has contributed more than 25 % of global economic growth, is the key production house of most products that we consume or utilize and is the second largest foreign/over-seas investor of the world. This all has been challenged by the tiny corona virus. The course aims to explore a broad range of issues that explain the miraculous success story (in Before-Corona era) and the tremendous economic, finance, consumer trust, production and logistics capacity challenges China is and will face during the After-Corona era. The analysis of the “Before” and “After Corona” eras expose macro-level institutional texture that conditions and binds the hands of policy makers together. At the micro-level, the course will also touch managerial, networking (guanxi), strategic thinking, and cross-cultural communication challenges and negotiation cultures in increasingly heterogenic China.
