The market’s top experts on the Chinese growth engine look at the challenges and opportunities of Chinese investment opportunities
CHICAGO - Feb. 26, 2016 - PRLog -- Tom Manning, China expert and former CEO of Cerberus Asia Operations & Advisory Ltd., will share his insights on China’s increasingly powerful position in the global economy at the Commonfund Forum 2016, to be held February 27 through March 1 in Orlando, Florida. Commonfund Forum is the preeminent annual conference for institutional investors. Manning will be a panelist in Sunday’s General Session, titled “Is the China Growth Story Still Real?

The session will be moderated by Zanny Minton Beddoes, editor of The Economist. Manning will be joined by Jon Huntsman Jr., former Ambassador to China, and Geraldine Sundstrom, Managing Director and Portfolio Manager, PIMCO. Panelists will offer their perspectives on growth opportunities in China, now the largest economy in the world adjusted for purchasing power.

“Domestic companies have to re-think their strategies as China’s economy shifts from low-end manufacturing to meaningful innovation,” said Manning. “Even the largest Fortune 500 companies suffer from a significant skills gap when it comes to competing against, and doing business with China, and both management and the Board need to be made up of individuals who have realistic international experience.”

The rise of the middle class in China, an increase in native as well as international venture capital and private equity firms pouring funds into Chinese enterprises, and a planned economy that is putting resources into specific areas of growth are all part of China’s attempt to create a more balanced economy. As a member of the panel on this exciting topic, Tom Manning will explore how these complex changes will impact not only China, but the United States and the global economy as a whole. “Meaningful success in business requires a look beyond the U.S. border,” said Manning, “and savvy CEOs understand that. During our session at the Commonfund Forum, we’ll explore just how serious of a competitor China really is, and how to navigate the complexities businesses are sure to encounter.”’

Manning is a prolific author and has been featured in Industry Week in his article “China Technology Innovation Comes of Age.” He also recently shared his insights in an article in World Policy Journal, where he was quoted commenting on the strategic changes being made in China that will impact businesses worldwide.

Manning will also be featured on a panel with Professor Warren McFarland of HBS, at the Tufts University US-China Conference in Boston on April 2 and at Duke University’s Duke-UNC China Conference (http://www.dukeunccls.com/) on April 9. The “Is the China Growth Story Still Real?” session will be held on Sunday, 11:30 to 12:30.
