Starting a business from scratch in any industry in any country is difficult. Starting a business in which you have had no prior experience, in a country where you have never worked and whose language you cannot understand is almost impossible. Jack Perkowski, pioneer in the Chinese private equity market and author of "Managing the Dragon", did exactly that in China in 1994 when he founded ASIMCO Technologies and built it into a $500 million components company with 17 plants in China and offices in the US, UK and Japan. Jack will provide his unique insights into the ways in which China's fundamentally different, cost perspective is affecting its cost structure, the development of its markets and technological innovation, and how these factors will have a profound impact on the way all industries operate around the globe. Jack's book will be available for purchase and to be signed after the event. Location: BAEEC, Seminar Room
