International companies are reassessing the role their China operations play within the global enterprise. This repurposing has the potential to be profound, extending well beyond local market considerations. In this article, Jan Borgonjon (President) and James Sinclair (Partner) explore:

• How the strategic significance of winning in China has changed, becoming increasingly important to protect global competitiveness.
• Strategies in response to the new wave of Chinese globalizers, including the potential for global strategic partnerships and new selling opportunities.
• The need to track and harness the rapid evolution of operating models, capabilities and technologies emerging in China for the benefit of global operations.

Now more than ever, the role of the China operation is a matter for global boards and CEOs. There is a need for urgency here. Those international companies that delay, perhaps due to a struggle to build stakeholder alignment around a clear course of action, risk finding themselves outpaced both in China and beyond.
