Usine du monde il y a deux décennies, elle est désormais une source majeure d’innovation, en particulier en matière d’intelligence artificielle, et elle bénéficie d’un marché intérieur en pleine expansion. Pour Valeo, équipementier mondialement reconnu pour ses technologies et présent en Chine depuis plus de vingt ans, le challenge est dorénavant de répondre aux exigences croissantes des constructeurs automobiles locaux, tout en s’intégrant aux nouvelles ambitions globales de l’empire du Milieu. Être chinois en Chine tout en restant un groupe international, développer localement des produits répondant aux exigences internationales les plus élevées, faire confiance et développer les compétences locales, tels sont les défis relevés aujourd’hui avec succès par Valeo Chine et ses équipes. Compte rendu rédigé par Pascal Lefebvre L’Association des Amis de l’École de Paris du management organise des débats et en diffuse les comptes rendus, les idées restant de la seule responsabilité de leurs auteurs.
