[Assam] Harvard Business School: China: The New Entrepreneurs

Fri Oct 20 15:58:21 PDT 2006

sea turtles Assamese cannot be -- since Assam is far from the sea--just like those from Kashmir or Punjab or Rajasthan -- but likes cows coming home in the evening -to be milked -- they can do that?

  How about spying on the business scene in their land or residence and later heling business world in Assam -as mentioned below

  Q: What advice would you give HBS Working Knowledge readers who are thinking of creating new businesses or ventures in China?
  A: Go there now. When there, listen, observe, learn. When you are ready to do business, form a network of trusted insiders to help you get things done ther

  *****we saw the powerful, and in this case positive, role of the government. We also saw that whereas a modern infrastructure really helps, a lot of entrepreneurship can occur without it, and then when successful, entrepreneurship itself creates, enables, and facilitates economic development. 
  There are a number of "chicken and egg" processes, or feedback loops here. I learned a saying in Chinese: "You can catch big fish in murky water." That means that the big fish are hiding when the water is clear, or they have already been eaten. Translation: There are big opportunities in times of change, chaos, ambiguity, adversity, and unclarity. China is certainly a "work in progress."

    Mukul-da,

  why possible in free Assam only -- is that a way of shifting the blame -or shifting the responsibilty to next generations.

  Q: Although moving toward a more capitalist system, the government still plays a strong role in the economic environment of the country. Does that presence help or hinder entrepreneurial efforts there?
  A: Time will tell, but I think in the short and medium run it is clear that the government is a major driving force. By the way, "government" is not a monolithic entity. There are national, provincial, and municipal governments. All are playing roles, but my sense is that the regional governments' roles are the most significant in terms of creating the infrastructure to support entrepreneurshipuniversity programs, tax incentives, incubator programs, educational programs, and the like.   Possible  only in a free -or freed-Assam

  Q: What's a "sea turtle" and why is it important in discussing the development of entrepreneurism in China?
  There are many paths to successful venture creation, and viewing the phenomenon from a completely different perspective is enlightening.   A: We heard the phrase "sea turtle" a few times. These are the Chinese who spend significant time abroad and then come back to China to "lay eggs," that is, start new ventures. In addition to bringing with them insights, skills, attitudes, tangible assets, and contacts that are useful to their ventures, the government has created incentives to NRA -anybody?
