Event Details

Amid global environment with intensifying political tensions, military conflicts, and trade frictions, business leaders across the globe are facing a more volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) environment than ever before. The Chinese market, which had come to be valued for stability and growth, is not immune from the current uncertainty especially as the country struggles to balance restrictive pandemic control policies and maintaining economic stability. A recent study conducted by scholars from Northwestern University, Stanford University and the University of Chicago indicates that the uncertainty level of China's economic policy since the onset of Covid-19 is about twice that of five years ago, and almost five times that of 2001, when China joined the WTO.


What are the main uncertainties firms operating in China currently face? How do such uncertainties influence business? How should a visionary business leader respond?


Mr. Chen Wu, Managing Director of The Economist Global Business Review, will consider the challenges imposed by this period of unprecedented uncertainty and how to stay resilient during difficult times.


This event will be a Chinese event, and simultaneous interpretation will be provided.
