Global Fireside Chat in Singapore: The evolving role of MNCs in China
We invite you to join our Global Fireside Chat in Singapore on the evolving role of MNCs in China on February 28, 2023.
About this event
Many people are predicting the end of multinational corporations (MNCs) in China. Changes in consumption patterns, strong investment by local companies and mounting nationalism are all seen as signals that MNCs will retreat from the market. Sharing examples from over two decades of management, research and teaching on the ground in China, Prof. Eric Bouteiller will share both local and global perspectives that may well surprise you.
Following the fireside chat, participants are invited to find out more about current opportunities between Singapore and China through an open Q&A with recent CEIBS alumni.
