Business Club Series: Tsing Hua Alumni Speaker Seminar -
Copy to China, Still a Viable Strategy to Start in China?
From Baidu to Eachnet to Sohu, these are all successful examples of the Copy-To-China phenomenon, in which a promising business model is adapted and launched in China by Chinese entrepreneurs. For aspiring entrepreneurs, is Copy-To-China still a viable strategy for your next venture? On the other hand, many US companies, who originated the business model, have had tough time in penetrating the Chinese market. What's wrong? We are excited to bring together a group of well-known speakers to help us solve the puzzle.
