Steven Wang, a fluently bilingual American-born Chinese, jointed Carvel Asia Limited in September 1997. After spending three months, he moved to Beijing with a priority mandate to increase Beijing Carvel‘s sales, particularly in the ice-cream cakes category. But he quickly discovered, “this was going to be difficult because there is an amazing lack of information upon which to base any decisions”. Then he relied on his own observations, feedback from Beijing Carvel customers and sales staff, and information gleaned from business magazines and public reports to help him make his decisions. Finally he found that:-

Our research over the past five years into the battles between multinationals and local Chinese companies reveals that while market dominance by local champions is far from universal, it’s becoming ever more frequent. In industries as different as beer brewing, mobile-phone manufacturing and laundry-detergent production, Chinese companies — often seeming to appear from nowhere — are forcing multinationals to rethink their strategies and their hopes for explosive growth in the China market.

The process of globalisation in China has been a rapid one. China’s exponential growth since the fall of Mao has lead to increased international influence – with China now operating on an international scale.

When expanding into a global marketplace, companies must select a means of market entry. The decision to export, franchise, build a strategic alliance, establish a joint venture, and make a direct investment is based upon two things: an organization's interest in maintaining marketing control and how much of a financial investment it is willing to make. This holds true for 5 Bucks and Joe to Go, both of which are coffee retailers that want to enter emerging urban markets in India. 5 Bucks prefers to maintain greater control afforded by a joint venture and is willing to take on greater financial risk. Joe to Go, on the other hand, is not as willing to take on high levels of financial risk and is willing to rely on its franchisees to effectively market and brand Joe to Go in India. Both options require their local partners to adjust offerings to meet the needs of the local population while maintaining similarities in product, look, and experience across global locations.

The year 2015 was an exceedingly profitable year with revenue growth of XX% and total revenue topping out at $XXX globally. One country’s operations that has contributed a major portion of the escalation in profits is China for which, unlike other restaurants, YUM has found the key to success. In 2015, YUM opened xxxx new restaurants which has permitted massive profits. YUM’s exceptional strategic planning and partnerships have permitted the China market to be spun off into its own standalone entity. YUM believes that this spin off will allow for the pivotal China market to controlled in a more efficient manner that is fueled off key partnerships and allowing local control to assist these restaurants to swiftly adapt to local customs and desires. With the success of this venture, numerous experts are suggesting and predict the separation of the three separate entities to help fuel increased flexibility and allow YUM to meet the ever-rising growth demands of the various stakeholders.

China is supplanting its primary economic opponents around the globe to a great extent without the utilization of power. China 's prosperity denotes the first instance of realm building in the time of globalization. The United States played a key role in China 's economic ascendance by advancing globalization and grasping, lately, free market conventionality (Zhang, Duysters & Filippov, 2012). In the records of history, it will be noticed that it was the United States itself that championed another economic structure which at last undermined its own particular position on the planet. China 's choice to open its economy to the world concurred with the U.S. drive for globalization. In addition, the United States and the Western companies opened the financial conduits to China through direct venture and subcontracting trade agreements. Notably, as the Western capitalism went global, China turned into the factory of the world. China has turned into an undeniably critical part of the worldwide trading framework in the course of recent decades; enthusiasm for the nation and its universal financial strategies has expanded among global business analysts who are not China authorities (Petras, 2012). This paper represents an endeavor to give a review of the business atmosphere toward globalization in China with and a brief outline of the real strides in the advancement of Chinese strategy towards international trade as well as foreign direct investment, protectionism, and their

On October 10, 2000 President Clinton's Signing of Legislation Establishing Permanent Normal Trade Relations for China Marks an Historic Moment in U.S.-China RelationsThe United States interest in China is both on an economic and social level. However, the economic level is much higher. China's accession to the WTO will encourage Chinese leaders to move in the direction of meeting the demands of the Chinese people for openness, accountability, and reform. The agreement negotiated last December with China is expected to have three certain results. This can deepen Market Reforms. Also, it obligates China to deepen its market reforms, empowering leaders who want their country to move further and faster toward economic freedom. This agreement will expose China to global competition and thereby

China is on its way to attaining mega market status as a consumer of technological goods and services. Countries unwilling or unable to compete for a share of this market place put themselves at a substantial competitive and economic disadvantage. The admission of China into the WTO will greatly benefit many companies across the board in the United States. The potential for computer makers, software makers, internet providers and internet service providers are immense and American companies could gain tremendously from their potential. These benefits will not be limited to the big name companies of the United States either. Smaller start-up companies will be on the same grounds now and receive the same benefits as larger firms. The small companies will now be able to sell their products in China where as they could not do so before because of the numerous obstacles that only the larger firms were equipped to maneuver around in China. Thus all businesses working from within the United States will have the fair opportunity to extend their reach into China.

It took three United States Presidents, two Chinese leaders and dozens of negotiators 13 years to clear a path for China to get the chance to join the World Trade Organization, which could occur if legislation sponsored by President Clinton is passed by a skeptic legislative branch, that has relied on the annual review of trade status as a means to police the

In this case study, we will attempt to answer what measures China took in preparation for acceptance into the WTO and how it adjusted to its eventual admittance in December of 2001. We will also review some of the problems associated with China’s economic growth strategy.

With China emerging as a global power in business within the last decade, knowing about doing business in China has become more important than ever. There are both many advantanges and challenges with doing business in China in this modern era, and understanding both sides of this coin is the key to being successful in China. Some aspects to keep in mind include the cultural barrier, the price of the work force in China compared to the United States, and have the “made in China” brand be accepted back in the United States.

The China case was more long and complex than most accession case due to number of reasons: firstly, the country is the largest trading nation in the world and second largest sources of the United States (U.S.) deficit, so it lured a lot attention among all current applicants for joining the WTO. The accession of China will have a significant impact on these there: the restructuring of China 's domestic economic, the WTO, and the international trading environment. In addition, the accession points out many distresses for many scholars ' and policy-makers regarding the advantages, disadvantages and future of the WTO with or without China. More importantly, the entry of China into the WTO directly affects accession of another applicant, Taiwan, which has existing unsettled disputes between both countries.

The benefits of standardisation, as well as the risks should be understood. A top down standardisation of concept precludes the bottom up learning that is necessary to adapt to dynamic markets. Moreover, it is the franchisees - who are close to customers, markets, and employees - who have the most intimate information about changes in demographics, markets, and customer tastes that are most likely to affect the future direction of the business. Yet, these people are precluded from innovating or customizing the concept to experiment or take account of local and/or changing market conditions.

The World Trade Organization (WTO) is basically a global international organization which regulates international trade and dealing with the rules of trade between nations. Due to the era of globalization in world trade economy, it leads to the bias toward rich states and multinational corporations harming the smaller countries to have less negotiation power among them. In such case, this assignment will discuss on the historical background of the establishment of WTO, the objectives of the establishment of WTO, the functions on how it works as the international organization. Other than that, this assignment will explain the principles lay down in this agreement, the obligations under the WTO and how many members joined the WTO since the establishment. Besides that, this assignment will elaborate more about the advantages and disadvantages of WTO towards all states members and their relations with the others.
