Summary

China's economic rise and influence has been one of the most significant developments in the global economy of recent times. A driving force behind this expansion has been the private entrepreneurs and companies of China, some of which have literally redefined the economic and business landscape, both inside and outside of China.
 
 With a $15,000 loan from his father, the former high school dropout and factory worker Wang Wei started up his courier delivery service, SF Express, in 1993. This book is a classic rags-to-riches story of a young entrepreneur who grew SF Express into a logistics empire with revenues of $7 billion and 400,000 employees by 2015. The phenomenal rise of Wang and his company was further propelled by a $30 billion public listing in Shanghai in 2018. By any standards, this is one of the most remarkable entrepreneurial stories of recent times.

    This is a cross-over book with appeal to business people  interested in what makes entrepreneurs succeed (because of its  practical guidelines and real-world stories), combined with clear  usefulness as a study guide (because of its comprehensive coverage  of the key issues, with study exercises).  The scope of the  book covers distinctive questions in entrepreneurship, such as what  gives rise to entrepreneurial opportunity;   how to  exploit trends;  what is the role of innovation / originality;  what is execution / implementation, and s role in business  success;  what do established SMEs do to survive in the middle  term?     This is a book especially useful for the MBA and professional  market.  It assumes a level of interest and engagement, but  gives clear accounts of concepts and processes so that anyone can  come on board.     This market does not require a textbook of the traditional kind  that seeks to give an even handed exposition of all relevant  material.  The need is rather for something that is more  selective, more purposeful and even more inspirational.     Above all it needs to contain a plausible action sequence.   The present book does this, implicitly through the chapters and  explicitly in the last chapter.     The scope of this book is to concentrate on some key issues:    What gives rise to entrepreneurial opportunity?  How it is possible to exploit trends, and what are these  trends?  What is the role of innovation/originality?  How do companies get started and become self-sustaining?  What is execution, does it differ from  implementation, and what is its role in business success?  What do established SMEs (small and medium sized companies) do  to survive in the middle term, and even across family  generations?    The aim is to raise understanding of these issues by working  through a variety of examples, mainly from smaller and/or newer  companies in Britain and the USA.  Further, to generalise from  these companies I have researched.  To emphasize throughout  the positioning and behaviour likely to lead to success.     The book raises understanding of these issues by working through  a variety of examples from USA, Britain and Europe.  It shows  the dynamics of enterprise creation and its development over time,  flagging up what seems to work and favour success.     Each chapter ends with a set of examples and exercises for the  student. The book ends with a glossary of terms and as it unfolds  the book has a clear sequence of (10) actions or steps that  characterize the successful .small business.     TOC  Patterns in Entrepreneurial Opportunity  Something New  Reconfiguration  Riding Trends  Biography and Capability  Take Off to Cruising Altitude  Entry Barriers  A New Life, A Longer Life  Industry Dynamics  Patterns of Development  Chain Reactions

    This American history explores the country’s role as a globalizing force from the arrival of Columbus to the 21st century. 
 
The twenty-first century may be the age of globalization, but America has been at the cutting edge of globalization since Columbus landed here five centuries ago. In America and the World, Lawrence A. Peskin and Edmund F. Wehrle explore America's evolving connections with Europe, Africa, and Asia in the three areas that historically have been indicators of global interaction: trade and industry, diplomacy and war, and the "soft" power of ideas and culture.  
 
Divided into four historical phases of globalization, this book considers how international events and trends influenced American as well as how America exerted its own influence—whether economic, cultural, or military—on the world. The authors demonstrate how technology and disease enabled Europeans to subjugate the New World, how colonial American products transformed Europe and Africa, and how post-revolutionary American ideas helped foment revolutions in Europe and elsewhere.  
 
Peskin and Wehrle also explore America’s rise to global superpower, and how this power alienated people around the world and bred dissent at home. During the civil rights movement, America borrowed much from the world as it addressed the social issues of the day. At the same time, Americans—especially African Americans—offered a global model for change as the country grappled with racial and gender inequality.
