The world economy is rapidly becoming more multi-polar and more integrated. The rise of China and India is a central feature of this ongoing transformation.

These developments present huge opportunities, as well as major challenges.

For most companies, getting their China and India strategies right is no longer a discretionary option, but a strategic imperative.

Leveraging the twin strengths of deep country knowledge and cutting edge strategic thinking, China and India Institute aims at becoming a powerhouse of ideas, addressing some of the most challenging business issues:

• Why must China and India be the core of your global strategy?
• What must be the extent of your market presence in China and India?
• If you are not in the markets yet, how do you build the necessary presence?
• If you are in the markets, how do you leverage such presence for global competitive advantage?
• How do you build a global company with China and India operations as global hubs rather than peripheral nodes?
