  • Innovation and Upgrading Pathways in the Chinese Smartphone Production GVC Jiong How Lua National University of Singapore
    Innovation and Upgrading pathways in the Chinese smartphone production GVC Lua Innovation and Upgrading pathways in the Chinese smartphone production GVC Jiong How Lua National University of Singapore Innovation and Upgrading pathways in the Chinese smartphone production GVC Lua Abstract This paper attends to the recent upgrading developments demonstrated by Chinese smartphone firms. Adopting a comparative approach of tearing down retail-accessible smartphones to their components, this paper traces the upgrading activities across global value chains (GVCs) that Chinese firms partake in during the production process. Upgrading is thus discovered to be diverse and complicated rather than a linear process, carrying significant implications for the production networks and supply chains in Chinese smartphone firms. Innovation and Upgrading pathways in the Chinese smartphone production GVC Lua Introduction China today is not only the world’s largest exporter of labor-intensive goods but also remains as the largest producer of personal electronics devices, surpassing the output of the US (West & Lansang, 2018). Contrary to popular belief, Chinese smartphone producers do not merely mimic their competitors, instead, innovate to “catch-up” with international competitors by upgrading across Global Value Chains (GVCs). Utilizing Liu et al. ’s (2015) illustration as a starting point, I open the dossier for both acknowledgement and critique. Figure 1. Two different expectations, two sources of mobile phone manufacturing Source: Liu et al. (2015, p. 273) This paper primarily take issue with the linear depiction of technological improvements in leading smartphone firms in Figure 1 because upgrading is a complicated process involving different strategies and forms of innovation. Instead, it argues that leading Chinese smartphone firms subscribe to a non-linear upgrading process.

Following declining financial performance, CEO Frans van Houten aimed to turn the Dutch icon into a “high-performing company” by 2017. This case study examines the challenges of the business-driven IT transformation at Royal Philips, a diversified technology company. The case discusses three crucial issues. First, the case reflects on Philips’ aim at creating value from combining locally relevant products and services while also leveraging its global scale and scope. Rewarded and unrewarded business complexity is analyzed. Second, the case identifies the need to design and align multiple elements of an enterprise (organizational, cultural, technical) to balance local responsiveness with global scale. Third, the case explains the role of IT (as an asset instead of a liability) in Philips’ transformation and discusses the new IT landscape with its digital platforms, and the new practices to create effective business-IT partnerships. Keywords: Organizational transformation, IS platform, enterprise architecture, IT governance, global business processes, process standards, agile software development Thirty Sixth International Conference on Information Systems, Fort Worth 2015 1 Business-Driven IT Transformation at Royal Philips Introduction In late 2013, Royal Philips was two years into a daunting transformation.

After the market close in the US yesterday 4th June the Wall Street Journal published an Op-Ed by US Senator Marco Rubio in which he announced that he intends to sponsor the “Equitable Act” – an acronym for Ensuring Quality Information and Transparency for Abroad-Based Listings on our Exchanges. At this time the text of the bill has not been published and we are seeking additional information about its contents and likelihood of passing. However, our early reaction is that this has the potential to cause significant changes in the domain for listings of Chinese firms going forward with the potential for de- listing of Chinese firms on US exchanges and re-listing elsewhere (most likely Hong Kong). More generally we see this development as part of an increased escalation of tensions between China and the US on multiple fronts which should cap the valuation multiple for China equities, in particular in the offshore index constituents and US-listed parts of the universe. We provide a list of the potentially impacted China / HK names with either primary or secondary listings on Amex, NYSE or Nasdaq.

  • U.S. Investors Are Funding Malign PRC Companies on Major Indices
    U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE Office of the Spokesperson For Immediate Release FACT SHEET December 8, 2020 U.S. Investors Are Funding Malign PRC Companies on Major Indices “Under Xi Jinping, the CCP has prioritized something called ‘military-civil fusion.’ … Chinese companies and researchers must… under penalty of law – share technology with the Chinese military. The goal is to ensure that the People’s Liberation Army has military dominance. And the PLA’s core mission is to sustain the Chinese Communist Party’s grip on power.” – Secretary of State Michael R. Pompeo, January 13, 2020 The Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) threat to American national security extends into our financial markets and impacts American investors. Many major stock and bond indices developed by index providers like MSCI and FTSE include malign People’s Republic of China (PRC) companies that are listed on the Department of Commerce’s Entity List and/or the Department of Defense’s List of “Communist Chinese military companies” (CCMCs). The money flowing into these index funds – often passively, from U.S. retail investors – supports Chinese companies involved in both civilian and military production. Some of these companies produce technologies for the surveillance of civilians and repression of human rights, as is the case with Uyghurs and other Muslim minority groups in Xinjiang, China, as well as in other repressive regimes, such as Iran and Venezuela. As of December 2020, at least 24 of the 35 parent-level CCMCs had affiliates’ securities included on a major securities index. This includes at least 71 distinct affiliate-level securities issuers.
