As is well known, the very top leadership in China is exhorting Chinese companies to "go global." As a result, Chinese enterprises have ambition and access to large pools of low-cost capital. At the same time, however, two major questions persist. First, do Chinese companies have the managerial and organizational capabilities needed to create global enterprises? Second, is state ownership of large enterprises an asset or a liability in the drive to go global? Dr. Gupta will share his views on the opportunities and challenges facing Chinese companies on the path to going global as well as the key ideas in his new book about the trajectory of the rapidly growing economic linkages between China and India.

About the Book
The Silk Road Rediscovered: How Indian and Chinese Companies Become Globally Stronger by Competing in Each Other's Markets provides a roadmap for understanding the business challenges and opportunities in China. By 2025, China and India will be two of the world's four largest economies. By then, economic ties between them should also rank among the ten most important bilateral ties worldwide. Pioneering Indian and Chinese companies are rediscovering the fabled Silk Road which joined their nations in ancient times. Winning in each other's markets is also making them stronger and whetting their appetite for further global expansion. The Silk Road Rediscovered is the first book ever to analyze the growing corporate linkages between India and China.
