China Insights Series

China’s companies have long been acclaimed for their manufacturing prowess and, more recently, for their pragmatic approach to innovation. It’s time to recognize how they are also reinventing management control for the digital era through an approach we call “digitally-enhanced directed autonomy”, which gives employees autonomy while monitoring more precisely how they exercise it. This talk is based on a new article in Harvard Business Review, to be published in March-April 2023.

Authors’ bio: Mark Greeven is a professor at IMD Business School in Lausanne. Katherine Xin is the Bayer Chair in Leadership at the China Europe International Business School (CEIBS) in Shanghai. George S. Yip is an emeritus professor of marketing and strategy at Imperial College London and a distinguished visiting professor at Northeastern University in Boston.

China Lecture Series

Conventional wisdom held that China's embrace of free markets would lead to a more liberal society. But as Xi Jinping was appointed in October 2022 to a third five-year term as China's supreme leader, many have commented that the opposite has occurred and instead, Chinese leadership has a renewed embrace of Maoist principles. What does this mean for the future of the Chinese economy and relations with the West? Professor Christopher Marquis, author of Mao and Markets (Yale University Press, 2023), will share his thoughts on this important question. 

This event is part of Center for Emerging Markets' China Lecture Series, which explore important topics about China and its role in the world. Please kindly note that this is an online event. Registration required.
