Presentation: "Made by China"

Please join us at the East Asian Library [April 8th, one week from today] for "Made by China," the second brown bag discussion of our China Today series.
Our speaker Seth Werner, lecturer of Marketing and Logistics Management, Carlson School, has given a well-received presentation named "Made in China" at Weisman Museum last October. This time Mr. Werner will discuss more on the transition from "Made in China" to "Made by China," and how China’s early policies regarding foreign investment have prepared China for future growth.
Mr. Werner will share with the audience basic information about recent trends in foreign investment in China and his thoughts on how Chinese firms are starting to grow into markets beyond China’s boarders.
A key thesis is that these firms are using important market tools well beyond the stereotypical “price advantage.” A question and answer session will follow the presentation.

The East Asian Library will provide fresh tea and light Chinese treats.

Date: Tuesday 4/08/2008 Time: 11:45 am - 1:00 pm
Place: East Asian Library, Wilson Library Subbasement, West Bank
