Starbucks in China and booming cities
November 16th, 2006 by AdministratorAnd we’re back! Sorry for being out of touch for so long. We’ve been busy with speaking engagements and moving across the globe. I moved full-time to Shanghai — saves the insane amount of travel I was doing before. My partner Steve Ganster and I have been speaking at China-focused events in Minneapolis, Vancouver, Chicago and Shanghai, but now that we’ve settled down a bit, we’ll get back into more regular posts.
Today’s episode of the China Business Podcast covers:
- All the coffee in China: Starbucks’ recent strategy in China and it’s position as a “destination” more than “product”
- New cities for U.S. businesses to consider as they evaluate China
- Changes in the Shanghai government system and its impact on business
- And an invitation to tell us the topics that interest you
