Competing in China

There is be a lesson to be learned from the reported successes of SA firms in China:

Companies with roots in South Africa, the largest and most sophisticated economy on the continent, have eagerly expanded beyond national borders since the end of apartheid-era sanctions in 1994. Few of these new markets have proved as lucrative as China, where lessons learned in poor, complex African markets have given the companies an edge against U.S. and European competitors, South African business executives say.

Contrast this with the ceaseless hand-wringing of many regarding the 'insurmountable' Chinese. Budding SSA multinationals should look to emulate the achievements of their SA counterparts.
