The Globalization of China's Health Industry

Industrial Policies, International Networks and Company Choices

Beschreibung

This book explores the ongoing transition of China's economy by examining how its healthcare industry is growing and changing. The coronavirus pandemic has reinforced one of the authors' key points: in our complex, fragile, and interconnected societies, the production of health is a vital strategic 'industry'. The case of China is particularly salient, because of its economic and geopolitical significance, and the scale of the healthcare challenge it has faced.

Adopting a multi-level perspective, the authors examine the entrepreneurial role of the Chinese government as it seeks to strengthen the competitiveness of domestic firms. They analyze the strategies employed to improve China's technology and capacity for innovation, and discuss China's strategies and policies to ensure knowledge acquisition and creation in the long-term, with particular reference to international scientific collaborations. This book is a must-read for students, researchers, andpolicymakers interested in the prospects and challenges posed by the growth of the Chinese healthcare industry and its global impact.
