HSBC in China
Your assignment this week will focus on the case study HSBC in China ( International Management_ Culture, Strategy, and Behavior; Tenth Edition.pdf
) . We revisit the country of China, this time to look at the financial
and banking sectors. China acceded to the World Trade Organization
(WTO) in 2001, which was important to integrate China into the global
economy. The WTO requirements guaranteed China entry into the important
financial sector, setting it on a course to become a financial
powerhouse. A case study is a puzzle to be solved, so before
reading and answering the specific questions, develop your proposed
solution by following these five steps:
Read the case study
to identify the key issues and underlying issues. These issues are the
principles and concepts of the course module, which apply to the
situation described in the case study.
Record the facts
from the case study which are relevant to the principles and concepts
of the module. The case may have extraneous information not relevant to
the current module. Your ability to differentiate between relevant and
irrelevant information is an important aspect of case analysis, as it
will inform the focus of your answers.
Describe in some detail the actions that would address or correct the situation.
Consider
how you would support your solution with examples from experience or
current real-life examples or cases from textbooks.
Complete
this initial analysis and then read the discussion questions. Typically,
you will already have the answers to the questions but with a broader
consideration. At this point, you can add the details and/or analytical
tools required to solve the case.
Reflecting on this week’s
content focusing on ethical leadership, strategy, and alliances, develop
an essay responding to the following questions.
How has HSBC adapted its global strategy to operate in China, both before and after China’s WTO accession?
Discuss
HSBC’s strategy for entering and operating in other emerging markets.
Where has it found success, and where has it faced setbacks? Why? What are the pros and cons of HSBC’s “Managing for Growth” strategy?
For
companies that are participating in Saudi Vision 2030, what strategies
and tools might they adopt to manage political risks? Your well-written paper should meet the following requirements:
Be
5-6 pages in length, which does not include the title page or required
reference page, which are never a part of the content minimum
requirements.
Use Saudi Electronic University academic writing standards and APA style guidelines.
Support your submission with course material concepts, principles, and theories from the textbook and at least two scholarly, peer-reviewed journal articles. Review the grading rubric to see how you will be graded for this assignment.
