How to Win in the World's ONLY Big Growth Markets
The road to recovery leads to Asia, with China leading the world out of
recession. Today, China and India are the world's only large, fast-growing
economies, while the U.S., European and Japanese economies are becalmed in the
doldrums. Forward-thinking companies and investors looking for growth are
targeting largely untapped markets in China and India, with more and more
companies earning bigger profits in Asia than at home. But to prosper, business
leaders must understand how to do business there.
Robyn Meredith shares:
- How to profit from Asia's astonishingly fast rebound
- How fast-growing China and India are key to revenue growth and
cost-cutting
- How smart companies are harnessing the complementary strengths of China and
India
- Just how vast the Chinese and Indian middle classes have become, how fast
they continue to grow, and why that is crucial to future profitability
- How successful companies use their China and India operations to drive
innovation on the cheap
All You Need to Know about India and China
The fact that these two giants are embracing globalization and capitalism
represents a seismic shift in business and politics. Robyn Meredith calls this
"Tectonic Economics." The West must understand the changes at hand to thrive in
this new world order.
You'll learn from this speech:
- How the most important business revolution in a century is connecting China
and India to the West
- How China has just gone through a fast-tracked Industrial Revolution,
transforming a land of inefficient farms into a nation of modern factories

- How leaders can harness these powerful forces of change to help navigate the
challenges of globalization
America's Urgent Competitiveness Challenge
The powerful rise of China and India has Americans worried - and it should. But
far from despairing about the arrival of the new economic leviathans, the U.S.
needs to unlock its own massive potential with a fresh sense of urgency.
You'll learn:
- How the rise of China and India has created a global job market
- That colleges in China and India are already churning out more than twice as
many graduates as the U.S.
- How "disassembly lines" are connecting American stores to Asian workers
- Steps Americans can take to compete more aggressively
- How the bulk of China's economic muscle actually belongs to Westerners
- If India and China can change themselves this dramatically, then so can the
United States of America
The New Silk Road leads to the Gulf Countries
India and China are linked by extensive - and fast-increasing - trade with the
Mid-East, repeating history and reshaping the global economy.
Oil and natural gas are flowing from the Gulf to Asia even as workers from
India and infrastructure expertise from China are increasingly found in the
countries of the Persian Gulf. Geopolitics is shifting as a result.
