The Leadership Enigma
132: Enterprise China | Professors Stewart Black & Allen Morrison
Show Notes

Allen Morrison is a Professor at Thunderbird School of Global Management at Arizona State University and Stewart Black is the Global Chief Leadership & Strategy Officer at Squire Patton Boggs an international law firm and also Adjunct Professor at INSEAD. They are the co-authors of Enterprise China which is the result of decades of experience and research as to the dominance and continuing impact of China on the global economy. This episode is relevant to all leaders and all businesses, large or small. You may be thinking about operating in China, leaving China or simply curious as to the global impact of Enterprise China and why you should even care!
This is a fascinating episode that outlines that leaders must understand that they are dealing with Enterprise China not Chinese Enterprises as we examine the often-misunderstood interconnectedness of the Chinese state and Chinese businesses, demonstrating that individual firms and companies are often just the tip of the iceberg.
China is the largest simple market and for many years has been considered the 'Factory of the World.' My guests outline the three elements of the Chinese Commercial Strategy as
1. Ending reliance on the West
2. Dominating domestic markets
3. To win internationally and facilitating the West to become highly dependant on China.
Both guests outline real case studies of companies strategising for commercial success, outlining pitfalls and clear strategic and leadership implications that must  be considered.
