In this lecture, leading entrepreneur Jacqueline J Lam will argue that the perception of 'made in China' is evolving into 'made for China’ and plot a course for entrepreneurial success in the world’s second largest economy. She will dismiss Western myths about Chinese entrepreneurial culture. How do Western and Chinese entrepreneurs view government control: is it a limitation or an opportunity? How do eco-systems differ in the West and China: is one better than the other? Why does China have more self-made female billionaires, and what is the impact of female founders on the future economy?
