“The Globalization of Chinese Firms”
New edition in English of the latest study from the
HEC Eurasia Institute
“L’internationalisation des entreprises chinoises”
Jouy-en-Josas, June 14th 2007
Huawei, Lenovo, Chery, Galanz…These Chinese companies have already started to
conquer the world. Just as China is developing at an incredible pace, these new
“emerging multinationals”, already champions at home, are jumping into the
globalization movement without hesitation.
Are these businesses competitors, partners, or saviors? What exactly are their
strategies? Their intentions? Their motives? How is the Chinese government
involved in this new wave of internationalization?
In answering these questions the authors walk us through the situation of Chinese
companies, who are more and more opening themselves up to the world.
This study, one of the first of its kind in France, is the result of a massive study
conducted by the French Foreign Trade Advisors seen through the prism of the
expertise of the HEC Eurasia Institute.
With concrete examples, this study paints a detailed picture of these companies and
studies their strategic choices in order to help us to better understand the “keys” to
their internationalization which has only just begun.
HEC Eurasia Institute, the Asian research center for HEC School of Management,
seeks to assist European businesses in opening up to Asian markets. Founded in
1988 by Jacques Gravereau, HEC Eurasia Institute has acquired a unique
reputation through its expertise of countries, leaders, and markets of East Asia.
This study was conducted in partnership with the French Foreign Trade Advisors
