How the Top Business Leaders of China and India are Revolutionizing Management—And What the West Can Learn From Them Featuring:
Mike Useem, William & Jacalyn Egan Professor of Management
Harbir Singh, Mack Professor of Management
Peter Cappelli, George W. Taylor Professor of Management

Chinese and Indian business leaders are presiding over some of the world`s fastest growing enterprises, and their growth is at the heart of China’s and India’s rapid expansion. They draw on a host of leadership principles that company executives everywhere embrace, but they also bring a distinctive set of principles that we believe have come to constitute a "China Way" and an “India Way” for leading the enterprise. Chinese and Indian companies now have a level of self-assurance and success on the world stage that allows them to experiment with their own methods of management, bringing together the best of the American model with their own unique cultural heritage. Building on direct research contact with leaders of large companies in both China and India, Professors Cappelli, Singh, and Useem identify how they are changing the rules of business leadership and what the West can best learn from them.
