By (author): Han Shih Toh With the rapid increase in China’s overseas investment and trade, China’s global economic clout is increasing by the day. Does China’s global economic reach make it an empire in the 21st century? What sort of impact will China’s trade and investment have on its global counterparts? Chinese investment projects around the world, from railways in Africa and dams in Latin America to the acquisition of landmark buildings in the US, look to alter global patterns of influence and power. How would other countries react to China’s rising international influence? The US government and many Americans deny their country is an empire, although the US status as the leading superpower makes it an empire in all but name. How will China coexist with the US, which has arguably been an imperialist power since the end of World War II? How will the incumbent neo-imperialist power, the US, deal with an emergent China?

Business and Management Camels, Tigers & Unicorns Rethinking Science and Technology-Enabled Innovation By (author): Uday Phadke (Cartezia, UK) & Shailendra Vyakarnam (Cranfield University, UK) “The book should command the attention of technology-enabled entrepreneurs, at whatever stage on their journey, and also of those in universities responsible for or associated with spinning out companies, because it is so useful. I wish I’d had this guide when building engineering technology businesses myself — as one of the ‘Camels’ that constitute 98% of technology-enabled businesses, so often outshone by the Tigers and Unicorns …” Dr Peter Collins serial Entrepreneur, now CEO at Permasense “Phadke and Vyakarnam bring some much needed common sense to the description of the innovation commercialisation process.

The short, concluding Commercialisation Manifesto - beginning with the need for evidence-based understanding of commercialization and ending with a call for an equally evidence-based discussion of the role of innovation in the global economy — provides a rare and inclusive platform to bring innovators, policy-makers, investors and intermediaries together for an informed and overdue debate on the creation of sustainable value, vital for our collective future.” David Gill MD of St John’s Innovation Centre, Cambridge Director of Greater Cambridge Peterborough Enterprise Partnership “This remarkable book provides a blueprint
