Betting on China

Chinese Stocks, American Stock Markets, and the Wagers on a New Dynamic in Global Capitalism

By: Rob Koepp

A timely and controversial discussion of the way that China's emerging business financing structures are outperforming those in the West The phrase "Made in China" is ubiquitous, and China's status as a consumer of everything from natural resources to advanced technology is well established, but how did it get there? Looking at the financial drivers of the country's phenomenal growth, in particular, the high-risk venture capital and private equity finance currently feeding the entrepreneurship and innovation that is positioning China at the forefront of tomorrow's industries, Funded in China sheds much needed light on the poorly understood, often disregarded subject of how China became a global power. One of the hottest topics in global finance, China's meteoric rise from producer to consumer presents a fascinating opportunity for reexamining Western business financing models. The book looks at how the Chinese approach to financing new enterprises is changing the shape of development, not only in the world's fastest growing economy, but around the world. Written by a leading business and finance consultant based in Beijing, Funded in China explores these and other crucial questions, providing compelling, often provocative answers. @*Presents a timely, often controversial discussion of the ways China's emerging financing models are outperforming the West and what this means for the future@*Focuses on three types of related forms of high-risk equity finance currently in play in China: angel investment, venture capital, and private equity@*Features many real-world case studies from which the author draws powerful lessons for business leaders, institutional investors, and venture capitalists ...

Clusters of Creativity

Enduring Lessons on Innovation and Entrepreneurship from Silicon Valley and Europe's Silicon Fen

By: Rob Koepp

An innovative book for an innovative topic." Charles Hampden-Turner Like the subject matter it covers, Clusters of Creativity is innovative and original. It breaks with popular interpretations of Silicon Valley and similar regions, which range from the hyperbolically laudatory to the contemptuously dismissive, and takes a critical, objective look at the lessons that these locations provide about innovation and entrepreneurship. Readable, yet rigorous in its analyses, the book provides a practical and balanced set of perspectives on how the powers of business creativity are fostered and sustained. It focuses not so much on the generations of high technologies but on the motivations and strategies of business leaders who turn revolutionary innovations into commercial realities. Clusters of Creativity demystifies the many enigmas that surround two leading capitals of the modern global economy, providing insights on managing innovation and entrepreneurship that are both eye-opening and broadly applicable to all organizations and industries. Clusters of Creativity will challenge assumptions, dispel myths, enlighten, inspire, and generally provoke thought. In an age where technology and hyperbole frequently go hand-in-hand, the book's well-founded insights are all the more refreshing and important.

Stories I Only Tell My Friends

An Autobiography

By: Rob Lowe

Actor Rob Lowe's memoir presents a wryly funny and surprisingly moving account of an extraordinary life lived almost entirely in the public eye. A teen idol at fifteen, an international icon and founder of the Brat Pack at twenty, and one of Hollywood's top stars to this day, Rob Lowe chronicles his experiences as a painfully misunderstood child actor in Ohio uprooted to the wild counterculture of mid-seventies Malibu, where he embarked on his unrelenting pursuit of a career in Hollywood. The Outsiders placed Lowe at the birth of the modern youth movement in the entertainment industry. During his time on The West Wing, he witnessed the surreal nexus of show business and politics both on the set and in the actual White House. And in between are deft and humorous stories of the wild excesses that marked the eighties, leading to his quest for family and sobriety. Never mean-spirited or salacious, Lowe delivers unexpected glimpses into his successes, disappointments, relationships, and one-of-a-kind encounters with people who shaped our world over the last twenty-five years. Rob Lowe's New York Times bestselling autobiography, Stories I Only Tell My Friends, shares tales that are as entertaining as they are unforgettable.
