Global Strategy in the Age of China and India
The rise of China and India is a game-changing phenomenon.
Gupta talks about why China and India are the only two countries in the world that simultaneously constitute four game-changing realities: mega-markets for almost every product and service, platforms to dramatically reduce a company's global cost structure, platforms to significantly boost a company's global technology and innovation base, and springboards for the emergence of new fearsome global competitors. He then outlines how companies can leverage the market and the resource opportunities presented by the China and India phenomenon to achieve global dominance within their particular industries.

Changing the Rules of the Global Game
Is Your Company A Rule Maker or A Rule Taker?
Gupta talks about why every company must cultivate a bias for changing the rules by which it plays the global game within its industry. He then shares the logic that companies can use to reinvent the rules of the game by rethinking answers to the three classic questions for every business: How can we dramatically redefine who our target customers are? How can we dramatically reinvent the value that we should be delivering to our customers? And, how can we dramatically redesign the end-to-end value chain architecture in order to create and deliver this value?

Building and Exploiting Global Presence
The Quest for Global Dominance: Transforming Global Presence Into Global Competitive Advantage
Gupta talks about the key questions that business leaders must address in order to develop winning strategies to go global and to transform global presence into global advantage. He offers conceptual frameworks that executives can use to answer these questions and illustrates these frameworks with compelling examples.

Cultivating A Global Mindset
Individuals differ in how they sense and interpret the world around them. So do organizations. And, these differences matter.
Gupta shares his insights about why far too many companies are blind to the ongoing transformation of the global economy and the real opportunities and challenges resulting from this transformation. He offers concrete guidelines that individuals and companies can use to develop a global mindset. The development of a global mindset requires not only an openness to and knowledge of diversity across cultures and markets but also the ability to integrate across this diversity.

Leveraging Synergies Across Businesses
Capturing synergies across businesses is one of the hardest tasks for most CEOs.
Gupta shares insights from his research and consulting experience about why most companies talk incessantly about the benefits of synergy but find it very hard to actually realize these benefits. He talks about how companies can sidestep three common pitfalls in the pursuit of synergies: assuming that just because two businesses have something in common, there must be synergies; ignoring the possibility that alliances between independent companies may sometimes be more effective and efficient than internal coordination between peer business units; and, looking only at the potential benefits while ignoring the costs associated with trying to realize synergies.

Dragons and Tigers on the Global Stage

Cultivating A Global Mindset

How China Sees The World - And What It Means to You

Getting China and India Right
Business leaders of far too many companies see still China and India from the lens of off-shoring and cost reduction and limit their marketing to the top 5-10 percent of the richest consumers. Over the next 5-10 years, such short-sightedness will likely prove to be a fatal mistake. Based on solid data and rich examples, we point out that China and India are the only two countries in the world that simultaneously constitute four game-changing realities: mega-markets for almost every product and service, platforms to dramatically reduce a company's global cost structure, platforms to significantly boost a company's global technology and innovation base, and springboards for the emergence of new fearsome global competitors. This talk will outline how companies can leverage the market and the resource opportunities presented by the China and India phenomenon to achieve global dominance within their particular industries.

Dragons and Tigers on the Global Stage – What It Means to You
As illustrated by companies such as India’s Tata Motors and Infosys, China’s Huawei Technologies and Haier Group, Brazil’s Embraer, and Mexico’s Cemex, this is the era of the emerging market multinational. In 1995, there were only 5 companies from China and India in the Fortune Global 500 list. In 2009, the number was 44. By 2020, it could grow to 150. Given the scale and growth rates of emerging economies coupled with access to global capital and global talent, it has now become much easier for an ambitious company from an emerging conomy to become a global powerhouse and compete head-on with established giants such as Nissan, IBM, Cisco, and the like. This talk will focus on the forces that are propelling the rise of the emerging market multinational, the opportunities and challenges they face, the relative strengths and weaknesses of the Chinese dragons versus the Indian tigers, and how established companies from developed economies can compete effectively with these challengers.

How China Sees The World - And What It Means to You
China is everywhere - in the daily papers you read, in the products you purchase. Some see China as mega opportunities to pursue for business and personal growth. Some fear the threats. To date, most portraits of China are provided by westerners and run a serious risk of being superficial or even wrong.

As in a chess game, who wins or loses depends not just on how good you are, but crucially also on how well you understand your counterpart. Whether you are selling to, buying from, partnering, or competing with China, understanding how China sees the world including itself will make you smarter in your dealings with the Chinese.

Haiyan Wang presents an insider's perspective on how people from various social layers of China - political figures, business leaders, professionals, urban laborers, farmers, and youth - see the shifting landscape and their role in it. She will bring alive the hot button issues facing people from different walks of China. It is these hot button issues that matter to government and business decision makers within China as well as outside.

Cultivating A Global Mindset
Faced with a rapidly changing global landscape, many people continue to rely on their old lenses to make sense of the world around them. The winning global leaders, whether individuals or companies, will be the ones with a global mindset who truly grasp the unprecedented transformation of the global economy, and possess the capabilities to sense, filter, and integrate diverse opportunities on a global scale ahead of the pack.

Haiyan Wang will offer concrete guidelines that individuals and companies can use to develop a global mindset, which requires not only an openness to and knowledge of diversity across cultures and markets, but also the ability to integrate across this diversity.
