...Chinese brands are unlikely to be dominant anytime soon
22
Many economists argue that competitive nations’
trade relationships foster strong global brands by
exposing homegrown products to foreign markets.
That would position China to become a brand
powerhouse—but the fast-growing economy has no
brands on Interbrand’s global top-100 list.

Three big challenges for Chinese
companies’globalization
• Developing Managerial Talent
• Managing Cultural Barriers
• Attracting International Talent
Survey from McKinsey Quarterly
• Most executives at Chinese companies say
the biggest obstacle to the global growth of
their companies is a lack of managerial
talent.
• During the globalization,most Chinese
companies face the challenge of combining
Chinese and Western forms of
communication and cultural norms.
• 88% of the Chinese executives said that their
globalization efforts were hindered by the
scarcity of people with real cross-cultural
knowledge or experience managing foreign
talent.
