China’s Innovation Advantage

What we can learn from China’s new inroads into innovation

“How will China innovate?” is one of the defining questions of the 21st century. While much of the world still considers China a “copycat,” some of the smartest and most forward leaning Western companies have already begun copying China.

Based on his upcoming Harvard Business Review Magazine feature article, Zak takes you to the trenches of the country’s tech and investment scene to look at how China is becoming a world-class innovator.

This dynamic and eye-opening session will:

  • Explore China’s “Innovation Advantage” and the psychology of its hyper adaptive and adoptive population.
  • Illustrate how Chinese businesses and entrepreneurs are competing at a world class level, and which Western businesses are already “copying the copycat.”
  • Examine what there is to learn from competition with Chinese innovators, and where Western organizations still hold a major competitive advantage of their own.
