ChinaQuest - Business Investor

We Need Your Help

Thanks for joining us. As a Business Investor, you have a strong interest in promoting economic growth. Now you need to get a mental picture on how key issues in China relate to this overall goal. You'll be guided to look closely at three main issues and to find examples (facts, statistics, quotations, or any other Inputs*) that you think provide important insights on the issues. After you've collected three examples for each issue, your job will be to put the information together into one statement that tells a "Truth" about that particular key issue related to doing business in China. You'll do this three times.

Focusing your Argument: an Action Plan

By looking at the situation in China from one perspective, you have become an expert on issues that relate to business investment. Your team (and the World Wide Web community) need your expert advice. In your opinion, what would be the most effective plan of action to promote economic growth? In other words, what do we need to do to "make it happen?" Use the truths you have learned about doing business in China to make sure we tap into goldmines that could help everyone and avoid landmines that could threaten us all.

Your Action Plan should be a clear statement about what should be done to promote economic growth. It does not have to be long, but it should be thoughtful.

Type in your Action Plan here:

Once you have a solid Action Plan, click "Create My Full Report." A window will pop open with your customized report. Come back to this page as often as you like to adjust your examples (click in the checkbox if you don't want that example included in your report) and smooth out your Truths and Action Plan until it all makes sense together. Clicking on the "Create My Full Report" button again will change your Full Report Webpage. Copy/paste or print out your Full Report and bring it back to your teammates.
