  • Conglomérats Familiaux (4)
    1 Les conglomérats familiaux (4). Salim Group. Dominique Lorrain, CNRS (Latts, Ecole des Ponts ParisTech) Mars 2015 Après un "portrait d'entreprise" consacré aux groupes de la famille Suharto nous poursuivons par une présentation du groupe Salim qui nous semble exemplaire des capacités de transformation des conglomérats familiaux. Au départ il s'est développé dans le sillage du président Suharto et, de ce fait, il a failli être emporté par la vague qui conduisit à la démission du président. Mais il a su évoluer au bon moment. Les fils du fondateur ont été éduqués dans les meilleures universités américaines ; le plus jeune a pris les commandes en 1992 et comme le résume un observateur il a permis au groupe de passer d'un " connections-based to a market-based business model ". Le groupe Salim a survécu à trois chocs : crise asiatique 1997, changement politique en Indonésie 1998, retournement des dotcoms 2001. Salim Salim Djakarta Création vers 1955 par M.

    The Rhythm of Strategy Publications Series General Editor Paul van der Velde The ICAS Publications Series consists of Monographs, Edited Volumes and Pro- ceedings of ICAS. The Series takes a multidisciplinary approach to issues of inter- regional and multilateral importance for Asia in a global context. The Series aims to stimulate dialogue amongst scholars and civil society groups at the local, regio- nal and international levels. The International Convention of Asia Scholars (ICAS) was founded in 1997. Its main goals are to transcend the boundaries between disciplines, between nations studied, and between the geographic origins of the Asia scholars involved. ICAS has grown into the largest biennial Asia studies event outside the US covering all subjects of Asia studies. So far five editions of ICAS have been held respectively in Leiden (1998), Berlin (2001), Singapore (2003), Shanghai (2005) and Kuala Lumpur (2007). In 2001 the ICAS secretariat was founded which guarantees the continuity of the ICAS process. In 2004 the ICAS Book Prize (IBP) was estab- lished in order to create by way of a global competition both an international fo- cus for publications on Asia while at the same time increasing their visibility worldwide. Also in 2005 the ICAS Publications Series were established.

  • Overview and Trends of Ethnic Chinese Companies
    Mitsui & Co. Global Strategic Studies Institute Monthly Report November 2018 OVERVIEW AND TRENDS OF ETHNIC CHINESE COMPANIES Mie Takahashi Asia, China & Oceania Dept., Global Economic & Political Studies Div. Mitsui & Co. Global Strategic Studies Institute ETHNIC CHINESE COMPANIES Ethnic Chinese companies are generally defined as companies founded/run by overseas Chinese in regions other than mainland China. Such companies operate in various parts of the world and in a wide range of sectors such as trade, retail, financial, real estate, and IT, driving the growth of the Chinese and global economy. They not only contribute to economic growth in countries where they are located, but also play a significant role in the Chinese economy. Their influence is sometimes referred to as “the overseas Chinese phenomenon”. By region, many ethnic Chinese companies are engaged in high-tech business in North America, while in Europe, Australia, and Africa, they are engaged in restaurant, retail, and real estate business. Their presence is most prominent in Southeast Asia, which is close to China. From around the 7th century, the region has accepted labor migration from Guangdong, Fujian, and Hainan Provinces in China (some acquire a foreign nationality, while others do not)1. At present, six of the ten leading ethnic Chinese companies are based in Southeast Asia. In this report, we will overview ethnic Chinese companies in Southeast Asia, where their presence is high, as well as in Japan, and analyze their characteristics and rising investments in China. TRENDS OF ETHNIC CHINESE COMPANIES (1) Ethnic Chinese companies in Southeast Asia In terms of the number of companies and asset size, and the exception of Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, which are included in greater China, ethnic Chinese companies are most concentrated in Southeast Asia, especially in Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, and Indonesia.

  • Downloaded by [New York University] at 22:32 06 August 2016 Chinese Politics in the Era of Xi Jinping
    Downloaded by [New York University] at 22:32 06 August 2016 Chinese Politics in the Era of Xi Jinping Renowned for his coverage of China’s elite politics and leadership transitions, veteran Sinologist Willy Lam has produced the first book-length study in English of the rise of Xi Jinping—State President and General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). With rare insight, Lam describes Xi’s personal history and his fascination with quasi-Maoist values, the factional politics through which he ascended, the configuration of power of the Fifth-Generation leadership, and the future directions of domestic and foreign policy under the charismatic “princeling.” Despite an undistinguished career as a provincial administrator, Xi has rapidly amassed more power than his predecessors. He has overawed his rivals and shaken up the party-state hierarchy with a thorough anti-corruption campaign. With a strong power base in the People’s Liberation Army and a vision of China as an “awakening lion,” Xi has been flexing China’s military muscle in sovereignty rows with countries including Japan, Vietnam, and the Philippines while trying to undermine the influence of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region. While Xi is still fine-tuning his art of governance, his zero tolerance for dissent and his preoccupation with upholding the privileges of the “red aristocracy” and the CCP’s status as “perennial ruling party” do not bode well for economic, political, or cultural reforms. Lam takes a close look at Xi’s ideological and political profile and considers how his conservative outlook might shape what the new strongman calls “the Great Renaissance of the Chinese people.” Willy Wo-Lap Lam is Adjunct Professor in the Centre for China Studies and the Department of History of the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

  • Speech at Forum on Special Topics of the 6Th World Chinese Entrepreneurs Convention
    Speech at Forum on Special Topics of the 6th World Chinese Entrepreneurs Convention Sutanto Djuhar -President of Lin's Group, Indonesia Nanjing, China - 17 September 2001 Your honorable leaders, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, First of all, I would like to express my sincere thanks to the organizing committee of the Forum for giving me the opportunity to make the speech. Living overseas since childhood, I came back to my hometown (Fuqing City, Fujian Province) in 1953 for the first time and in 1987 for the second time with a study team I organized. I have a lot of thoughts when I come back this time. In the past three decades, changes have taken place in my hometown, but they are not great enough. However, we overseas fellow townsmen have achieved a lot in our strife. I feel that it is the responsibility of us overseas Chinese businessmen to help our hometowns to get rich as soon as possible. I had two options then. One was to follow my own development in China with more interest and the other was to spend more of my energy and financial resources to assist the development of Fuqing City. I thought I should have the second option. The reason was that the result of my personal development would, at the most, be my own profit and wealth but the development of Fuqing City would be development of the majority of its people, which would be of a different but a but a greater significance. Thus, in the past decade, I have kept exploring methods and ways to help my hometown to improve and construct the development environment together with many Fuqing overseas businessmen and have implemented two "five-year plans".
