Beschreibung
This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the transformative trajectory undertaken by Chinese domestic enterprises, with a particular focus on Geely Automobile. Comprising five chapters and totaling 13 sections, the study delves into Geely's remarkable progression from a state of catch-up to surpassing established competitors. The initial chapter chronicles Geely's entry into the automotive industry amidst resource and technological scarcity, shedding light on the strategies employed to achieve breakthroughs during the nascent stages. The subsequent section elucidates Geely's transition from a late entrant to a prominent player in the global automotive market, facilitated by innovative practices across organizational, technological, talent-driven, quality-oriented, and cultural dimensions. The third chapter examines Geely's successful foray into globalization, offering a comprehensive analysis of its non-linear growth trajectory, overseas mergers and acquisitions, and strategic expansion efforts. The fourth part explores Geely's approach to embracing uncertainty and navigating cyclical challenges in the automotive industry, seeking determinative opportunities for future growth. Finally, the concluding chapter draws insights from Geely's non-linear growth and advances the "C theory," an enriched local innovation management framework grounded in China's unique developmental context.

“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)
