Download or read book Hong Kong Professional Services and the Belt and Road Initiative written by Linda Chelan Li and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-03-03 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book scrutinizes the role of Hong Kong in the expansive, and contested, vision of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). In two main parts, it first discusses the defining features of the BRI and the evolving expectations of the role of Hong Kong in the BRI from the perspectives of policy makers and the professional sectors of accountancy-finance and the law. The second part contemplates the potential opportunities for Hong Kong from the perspectives of recipient countries-Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Cambodia and Myanmar. Utilizing an action research approach and engaging the views of a broad spectrum of actors, the authors observe the critical role of agency and innovations in a context of institutional contradictions, the impact of BRI governance structure for the deficits in international participation, gaps between grand state visions and commercial interests, and the salience of effective communication in navigating complex policy initiatives. Taking these together unpacks the complex processes shaping Hong Kong’s participation and role in the BRI. This book will appeal to students and researchers interested in the BRI and Hong Kong, in the contexts of institutional contradictions, agency innovations, and political dynamics, as well as sustainable development.

Download or read book A Business in Risk written by Carol M. Connell and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2004-05-30 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jardine Matheson & Company is perhaps best known through James Clavell's Taipan. The firm played an important role in the founding of Hong Kong, but its growth in the 20th century, through acquisition and divestiture, has never been adequately explored until now. This is not only the first study of Jardine Matheson to systematically uncover the industrial logic of its growth strategy; it is also among the first studies of the Hong Kong trading industry as an adaptive ecosystem based on trade, equity, and debt relationships that reduced business risk. Understanding the experience of Jardine Matheson will prove valuable to anyone who is eager to learn the lessons of adaptation and survival that marked not only the first period of globalization, but its current incarnation as well.

Download or read book Commercial Dispute Resolution in China written by Beijing Arbitration Commission and published by Wolterskluwer HK. This book was released on 2022-11-14 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic continued to affect economic development. In addition, due to the changing global situation, international competition was increasingly fierce. Under the circumstances of major changes and a pandemic unseen in a century, commercial dispute resolution in China is confronting new challenges, facing new changes and ushering in new developments. In the field of commercial arbitration, the promulgation of the Arbitration Law (Revision) (Draft for Comment) brought about many reforms to China’s current arbitration system, aroused widespread attention and discussion in the industry, and boosted arbitration research and the arbitration legal system to new levels. Arbitration institutions, including the Beijing Arbitration Commission/Beijing International Arbitration Center (hereinafter referred to as the “BAC/BIAC”), have duly issued new rules according to the needs of case handling and pandemic prevention and control in order to guide new arbitration practices, and the highlights of China’s judicial supervision and opening-up of arbitration are eye-catching. In the field of commercial mediation, the Supreme People’s Court has continuously promoted the development of a “one-stop” diversified dispute resolution system to support international commercial mediation organizations in providing mediation services in free trade zones; the Shenzhen Intermediate People’s Court has innovatively introduced third-party mediation organizations to participate in bankruptcy reconciliation; and practices in coordination between arbitration and mediation have been constantly enriched. Commercial mediation is playing an increasingly important role in alternative dispute resolution in China. In key professional fields, while actively responding to the impacts of the pandemic and focusing upon the resumption of work and production, legal construction and dispute resolution have also been developing.

Lynn provides a framework for thinking about highly dynamic markets characterized by youthful populations, extraordinary demand, capital inefficiency and, most importantly, aspiration. This book will enlighten institutional investors and entrepreneurs alike. I look forward to another work by David Lynn addressing the frontier markets.” —Gary R. Garrabrant, CEO & Co-Founder, Equity International An informed look at investing in emerging market real estate Focusing primarily on private equity real estate investment in China, India, and Brazil this reliable resource develops a general approach to commercial real estate investment in emerging markets, and illustrates some common strategies and analytical methods that can be implemented within this arena.

It covers all the key points my firm had to address before investing in China. I wish it had been available then.” —Robert H. Zerbst, Former Chairman & CEO, CB Richard Ellis Investors “This book does for international real estate what Samuelson’s primary Economics text did for economics students—it finally provides a new discipline with its first Bible. As cross-border real estate capital flows are on the rise, and investors increasingly seek compelling risk-adjusted returns in emerging markets, this book couldn’t have come at a better time in the market cycle. It is rich in content and filled with practical insights” —Kenneth A. Munkacy, Senior Managing Director, GID International Group/GID Investment Advisers, LLC “With American real estate in the doldrums, more investors will be looking abroad. David and Tim's analysis of international real estate investment, focused on three of the world’s most dynamic economies, provides exceptionally detailed knowledge concerning what real estate markets are really like in China, India, and Brazil. It is essential reading for investors considering those markets.” —Anthony Downs, Senior Fellow, the Brookings Institution “David Lynn and Tim Wang have written the 'must read' book for all real estate investors in emerging Brazil, China and India. They comprehensively cover the landscape of issues—economic, policy, legal, markets, sectors, entry, exit and strategies. Of noted value is their sanguine assessment of the risks and opportunities of alternative strategies in each country. The first outlay for all should be their book.” —Dr. Raymond G Torto, CRE, Global Chief Economist, CB Richard Ellis "Emerging Market Real Estate Investment is a powerful tool for those engaged in foreign investment generally, as well as in China, India and Brazil in particular. It combines a broad general view of competitive strategy with local detail on costs and legal aspects. The book is an intelligent and practical guide to foreign real estate investment." —Bowen H. McCoy, CRE, Formerly Partner and Managing Director, Morgan Stanley
