How to Win in the World’s ONLY Big Growth Markets
The road to recovery leads to Asia, with China leading the world out of recession. Today, China and India are the world's only large, fast-growing economies, while the U.S., European and Japanese economies are becalmed in the doldrums. Forward-thinking companies and investors looking for growth are targeting largely untapped markets in China and India, with more and more companies earning bigger profits in Asia than at home. But to prosper, business leaders must understand how to do business there.
Robyn Meredith shares:
- How to profit from Asia's astonishingly fast rebound
-How fast-growing China and India are key to revenue growth and cost-cutting
- How smart companies are harnessing the complementary strengths of China and India
- Just how vast the Chinese and Indian middle classes have become, how fast they continue to grow, and why that is crucial to future profitability
- How successful companies use their China and India operations to drive innovation on the cheap
All You Need to Know about India and China

America’s Urgent Competitiveness Challenge
The powerful rise of China and India has Americans worried – and it should. But far from despairing about the arrival of the new economic leviathans, the U.S. needs to unlock its own massive potential with a fresh sense of urgency.
You'll learn:

- That colleges in China and India are already churning out more than twice as many graduates as the U.S.
- How "disassembly lines" are connecting American stores to Asian workers
- Steps Americans can take to compete more aggressively
