What Business Leaders Need to Know About China Now

Elsbeth Johnson, senior lecturer at MIT’s Sloan School of
Management, and Rana Mitter, professor of history at Oxford, argue
that there's a lot about the Chinese political system and economy
that business leaders from elsewhere in the world still
misunderstand. They argue that democracy and a free market system
aren't always as tightly linked as we think, and that many people
in China also live, work, and invest differently than Westerners
do. Better understanding these dynamics will be the key to business
success in the world's most populous country. Johnson and Mitter
are the authors of the HBR article "What the West Gets Wrong About
China."
