This is a fascinating study of twelve major capital wars in China led by overseas companies. These companies are Caterpillar, Mittal, Alcatel, Danone, SEB, BMW, UBS, L'Oreal, Toyota, Bayer, Johnson & Johnson and Coca-Cola. Each of the twelve chapters examines one company, with expert coverage provided by leading Chinese Business and Finance Professor Wang Kangmao. Part of a brand-new book series published by Paths International in partnership with Guangdong Economy Publishing House (China) titled Cases in Modern Chinese Business. EXTRACT FROM CAPITAL WAR: “At present, the worldwide concern about environmental problems leads to serious thinking about the social responsibilities of transnational companies in the international community. From Nike’s indirectly employing child labor globally to McDonald’s making junk food over the whole world, from the bribery scandal of Lucent to Microsoft’s global monopoly, transnational companies are not only changing the political and economic ecology of the contemporary and the futuristic world, but are also bringing disastrous consequences to developing countries, for example, they transfer local national wealth, causing local unemployment, quality and environmental problems, tax evasion and cultural aggression, etc, and such negative effects also could be witnessed in China. Nowadays, there are 60,000 transnational companies with 500,000 subsidiaries worldwide, which in total control 50% of the world economic aggregate, 60% of the world trade volume, and 80% of the amount of foreign direct investment (FDI). The total sales of transnational companies reach 11 trillion US dollars, which is twice that of the total export volume”.
