{"product_id":"9783836456180","title":"China'S Water Service Market - Strategies For Foreign Companies","description":"Since the beginning of the \"Open-Door-Policy\", China has scored remarkable achievements. However, the resources that such growth demands have raised deep concerns about the long-term sustainability and hidden costs of the growth. Many of these concerns are associated with the state of Chinas water resources. As demand for water has increased, so too have problems with water shortages, pollution, falling groundwater tables and flood\/drought damages. To tackle these challenges the Chinese government increasingly encourages foreign companies to engage in the Chinese water market.\u003cbr\u003eMarket studies claim that this market holds promising business opportunities.\u003cbr\u003eThis book questions this observation from a foreign investor's perspective. It shows that the Chinese water market indeed holds business opportunities,\u003cbr\u003ebut that these opportunities are tied to certain sectors and regions. A\u003cbr\u003equestionnaire carried out between managers shows that these opportunities go together with high market entry barriers and market risks. Therefore, this book pays special attention to potential risk treatment measures.","brand":"VDM Verlag Dr. Muller Aktiengesellschaft \u0026 Co.
