How China is Becoming a Global Innovator

About this book

Undisputedly, China has become the world's manufacturing powerhouse, accounting for around half of all personal computers, digital cameras and kitchen appliances. However, the country is fast transitioning from low-cost manufacturing to a higher-value, innovation-led economy, a critical transformation that is at the heart of this new title. Companies are the essential engines of the wealth-creation process, particularly in the areas of internet and mobile telecommunications, and firms such as Tencent and Xiaomi are showing clear potential to become major players. Demonstrating strong commitment to the country's relentless progress in the realm of innovation, the Chinese government has encouraged the development of a business environment in which firms can experiment, operate and thrive. Created in China provides an examination of the critical human factors at play, as well as re-assessing some of the metrics traditionally used to describe and measure China's capacity for innovation. As Chinese firms begin to transform the country into a truly global innovator, the emerging patterns of future innovation are identified and reviewed. New and dynamic practices are arising that are recognisably Chinese, yet at the same time capable of competing on the world stage. Following the successes of firms such as Huawei, Haier and Lenovo, a growing number of technology-focused firms are now turning their attention towards markets outside of China – a development that will not only benefit the country but will provide exciting opportunities for businesses throughout the world.

enterprises. 
As 
they 
follow 
these 
patterns, 
in 
a 
fiercely 
competitive 
environment, 
companies 
will 
sharpen 
their 
skills 
for 
innovation-led 
growth. 
The 
West 
has 
much 
to 
learn 
from 
the 
way 
China 
innovates. 
The 
country 
is 
already 
a 
place 
of 
innovation 
for 
business 
models, 
notably 
in 
areas 
involving 
the 
Internet 
and 
telecommunications. 
Chinese 
entrepreneurs 
are 
particularly 
well 
equipped 
to 
seize 
the 
benefits 
of 
the 
digital 
revolution. 
Barring 
major 
mishaps 
in 
the 
country, 
this 
wave 
of 
innovation 
and 
entrepreneurial 
spirit 
will 
spread 
to 
many 
areas 
of 
social 
and 
economic 
activity. 
This 
is 
good 
for 
China 
and, 
if 
the 
world 
elects 
to 
handle 
this 
challenge 
in 
a 
positive 
way, 
this 
is 
good 
for 
the
