Non-Chinese students in particular will gain increased awareness of developments in Chinese companies. Chinese students in particular will become more familiar with the pitfalls associated with the rapid growth of Chinese companies.摘 要:The case study shows the development of Chinese technology company ZPMC, which entered the containercrane market in 1992 and, in the space of 15 years, achieved a global marketshare of over 70 percent. The case gives particular insights into the strategic decisions that led to ZPMC's competitors being pushed aside in a market previously dominated by Western providers. It also clearly illustrates the risks and limitations facing companies that are strongly focused on growth.
