What are the critical trends leading to risk and opportunity in China’s business environment? What are the Tipping Points in China’s society and economy that will up-end business-as-usual in the largest marketplace in the world? And under what conditions does the business environment in China offer greatest opportunity and threat to foreign companies?
The China Impact™ Watch provides institutional investors, portfolio managers and corporate planning groups with insights into the answers to these questions and more.
Keep up through monthly China Impact™ Watch updates with how the critical trends reshaping China are impacting the sectors, industries and enterprises invested in China. Available through subscription, the China Impact™ Watch gauges the impact ten critical-state trends are having on the business environment in China and the degree to which the environment presents opportunities and threats to Foreign Invested Enterprises (FIEs).
The China Impact™ Watch system is a consistent, coherent and long-ranging framework for navigating China’s emerging-market threats and opportunities. Updates are based on analysis of results from TrendsAsia’s own proprietary non-linear trends-analysis computer model.
The model takes into account a basket of economic, environmental and social indicators, popular Chinese sentiments about current issues and on-the-ground interviews and observations to help determine scenarios that present threats and opportunities to sectors and industries in China’s business environment.
Users of The China Impact™ Watch are able to “measure” the effects of critical trends on the business environment in China along a logarithmic, non-linear “Richter” scale – in a manner similar to the way seismologists gauge earthquakes.
Each update of The China Impact™ Watch includes:
- An analysis of the most critical trends shaping the current business environment at a sector and industry level;
- An analysis of which of 31 sectors TrendsAsia monitors are benefiting from the current-state momentum of critical trends, and which are confronted with threats to viability for FIEs in China;
- A look at the degree to which trends are shifting and impacting sectors through easy-to-read “Heat Maps” (see below).
- Summaries of the most-likely and highest-impact scenarios that could re-shape the business environment for various sectors (readers will find fuller analysis of the scenarios in TrendsAsia Analysis Notes).
