Fortune makers: the leaders creating China's great global companies

Introduction: Not the American way. "It seems surely just a matter of time before a "China way" emerges."

Their own way forward. :It's very difficult to apply the US business model to China directly ... We have to develop our own."

The learning company. "Learning is embedded in everything I do."

Strategic agility for the long game. "I am a crocodile in the Yangtze River."

Talent management. "We will make it because we are young and we never, never give up."

The big boss. "The Chinese leader is always top down."

Growth as gospel. "The most important thing is to grow the cake and let everyone take a piece from it."

Governance as partnership. "I disagree with maximizing shareholder value ... The most important stakeholder is our customers."

What's distinctive, what's sustainable. "It's our responsibility to shift from "made in China" to "designed in China.""
