Gilbert on the seminar circuit

We are now at the end of the seminar period, only one left, early July.
It has been a busy and rewarding experience talking to the Swedish Chamber of Commerce and a range of (E)MBA delegations from several universities:
CASS (London, UK), Rutgers (USA), Groningen (The Netherlands), Rochester Institute of Technology (USA), Belmont (USA), Missouri (USA), and others as reported earlier.


See here some of the talks with the dates.
Topics have been pretty varied, the usual (very personal) China Introduction, Real Estate in China, How the Chinese Government works and takes decisions, the impact of the 3rd Plenum, the challenges China is facing in 2014 (and how the new government tries to deal with it), Quality & Durability (related to my book Toxic capitalism) and more.
It is always nice to receive feedback on the talks. In the pictures, see one card a group of students insisted on sending me. And:

“Thank you very much for addressing our CASS MBA group. Your presentation was excellent and after speaking to the students I know they were really impressed by the knowledge you put forward. We really appreciate your effort of talking to our group and being so open about your experiences and position in China. As usual you have provided some invaluable insights which the students much appreciate.” (By the organizer)
“Thank you for your presentation to Cass. I thoroughly enjoyed it and felt it gave us true insight into China.” (A student)

The seminars take typically 90 minutes including interactive sessions and Q&A.
