Entrepreneurship and innovation in China                                     

Since 1980, China has gone from one of the poorest economies in the world to being a middle-income country. The innovation and growth of private firms has been the main engine behind this expansion. This lecture studies the process behind the creation of entrepreneurial firms, with a focus on serial entrepreneurs. We will also examine the dynamics of innovation and assess the efficacy of R&D investments in China.
