Abstract

Recent years have witnessed the surging of Chinese manufacturers, as China has become the world's factory floor. This paper presents a case study of one of the most successful manufacturers in China, the Galanz Group, now the world's largest microwave manufacturer. Based on theories of multinational corporations from emerging economies, the paper examines the process of Galanz's integration into the global market. The company has developed unique competitive strategies that have made it a great success within China and in overseas markets. The Galanz model suggests strong strategic implications for both Chinese firms and incumbent multinational corporations. © 2007 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
