Building bridges with Chinese Business - torrent of knowledge and insights flow at inaugural workshop
Assistant Professor Mark Greeven wants people working with Chinese business to succeed. This motivation underpins Building Bridges with Chinese Business, a new Executive Education & Organisational Development programme about China's rapidly developing economy and business sector. Speaking before the inaugural workshop held on 19 May, Greeven explained, "I meet so many people working in China and around 80% don't reach their goals." While awareness of different cultural norms does matter, "how to hold your chopsticks" is not the key to success.

Configurations of Inter-Firm Relations in Management Innovation: A Study in China’s Biopharmaceutical Industry
While the global biopharmaceutical industry maintains its promise of a bright future, it remains economically underperforming and continues to burn capital at an unprecedented pace. Experts argue that one reason for this staggering underperformance lies in the absence of appropriate managerial instruments that allow to fully exploit the potentials of the available scientific approaches. In his PhD dissertation Configurations of Inter-Firm Relations in Management Innovation: A Study in China’s Biopharmaceutical Industry, Johannes Meuer argues that the situation in the biopharmaceutical industry in China is unique. Its rapidly changing institutional infrastructure, the large number and diversity of organisations, and their intensive reliance on each other to access unique scientific competencies, make for an environment that induces firms to challenge existing and experiment with new management techniques.
