Non-Linear Growth

Reviews / Votes

"Prof. Wu Xiaobo and his academic team has been following up Chinese enterprises evolving from "catching up" to "beyond catching up" for decades and revealing the "nonlinearity" which is the most challenging yet vital attribute behind the growth of Chinese enterprises. This book expounds the management science behind the growth of Geely Automobile with in-depth examples and unique rationality, and hence is worthy of deep study by scholars and profound reflection by entrepreneurs. The 13 inspirations from the "nonlinear growth" in this book are of great significance for us to understand how China manufacturing enterprises can go beyond catch up and build an original "C theory". I am convinced that it can bring many valuable thoughts and inspirations to enterprise managers and academic researchers." (Arie Y. Lewin, Professor Emeritus of Strategy and International Business, Duke University, Fuqua School of Business, US)

"The miraculous growth of China's economy since the reform and opening up would not be possible without the robust development of China enterprises. Geely is one of the paragon examples of nonlinear growth from a start-up to a global leading giant. The logic, theories and philosophies behind the success of trendsetters of times serve as the cornerstones of China's independent innovation theory in management science and even social science. At the critical moment when the world now is facing a tectonic shift unseen a century, by probing into the case analysis of Geely's growth story, this book will encourage, inspire and enlighten more progressing entrepreneurs around the world to seize the opportunity window and go beyond catching up." (Prof. Mike Gregory, Acting Director, University of Cambridge, Institute of Continuing Education (ICE), UK)
