CKGSB-IE University Report Details New Globalization Models for Chinese Companies
The Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business (CKGSB) and IE University's China Observatory released a report outlining new globalization strategies of Chinese companies amid a fragmented global economy. The report identifies a third phase of Chinese corporate globalization focused on exporting operational capabilities, including technical standards and business models, while emphasizing localization. It highlights two expansion models: 'chain style,' involving large companies and partners, and 'swarm style,' where smaller firms rapidly expand using China's infrastructure. The report stresses adapting to local markets and regulatory complexities, especially in Southeast Asia.
