Jagdish N. Sheth Tata McGraw-Hill Education, 2008 - China - 205 pages0 Reviews
BOOK REVIEWS IN THE BOOK'S INSIDE AND OUTSIDE COVER BY EXPERTS & CELEBRITIESMy reviews of the book was selected to be published on the inside cover and also on the outside cover
Chindia Rising is a visionary work encompassing multiplicity of dimensions of the unprecedented impact and influence of the two great nations, India and China, on the world's industrial, business and also political future of few hundred years. The book is destined to become a milestone and extensively studied by scholars, influencers of the international industrial scene and general public. Dr Sheth reminds the global business community of the fundamental significance of the economic rise of China and India. With his typical acuity, he sees beyond the temporary dislocations caused by outsourcing or trade imbalances and discovers a future of worldwide economic growth, job creation, and expanding opportunity. I strongly recommend this book to scholars,students, international business leaders and general readers.

The rise of China and India will have a profound effect on businesses in the developed as well as the developing world. Any businessman who wants to be ready to benefit from these dramatic changes should read Dr Sheth's insightful book.

With detailed analyses of companies, economic trends, and historical patterns, the noted business management scholar, Prof. Sheth convincingly suggests that the rise of China and India as 21st century global power scan be as beneficial to the world as was the rise of the US in the early 20th century. This is a useful source for not only business leaders but anyone interested in this tectonic shift that is underway in the world today.

Jag Sheth has produced a thought provoking treatise on contemporary events involving China and India, which will have a major impact in the foreseeable future. India and China are the key players in globalization,that is changing the face of Asia, while transforming trade and commerce in the rest of the world. Sheth propounds an extremely well reasoned point of view of these developments, which will appeal to a wide cross-section of readers around the world.

While there have been many paeans sung to the phenomenal rise of Chindia (and BRIC's), by relating this rise contextually to USand European Economic and Commercial history, Jagdish Sheth has done us all a favor. This book not only makes it easier for us contextually,but also gives us insights into the huge challenges and exciting opportunities for the world. Finally, how Chindia affects the world will depend upon the qualities of the institutions they build. These will reflect their society, culture, aspirations and impact they wish to have on the world. This book gives us the first insights into some of the thinking in that direction.

Many articles and books have been written in the recent past on China and India, and their economic models and future. I fi nd Prof. Jagdish Sheth's book Chindia Rising as a brilliant analysis of not only how China and India will occupy the prime position as two great economies in the future, but how they are different from economies that became success stories. Indeed in the 19th and 20th Century, Europe and U.S. were the main players, and later Japan and Korea, each followed a model based on their culture, resources, and markets. Both India and China are operating in a new environment, where capital is not scarce, entrepreneurship is a winner, globalization and communications is a reality for future growth, and we have abundance of bright human resources and huge domestic markets. These observations, and particularly the analysis of the differences between Western economies and Chindia, with enumerable examples, reads like a well researched case study; and certainly makes Prof. Sheth's book a 'Must Read' for all professional managers, entrepreneurs, economists, policy makers, and public at large.I thoroughly enjoyed reading the manuscript, and am grateful to Prof.Sheth for honoring me by sending me the manuscript before publication of this future best seller.

The Chindia phenomena is at its nascent stage. The world hasn't seen anything like it. The book comes at an appropriate time and evaluates the subject holistically. The large domestic market, the huge, young and growing population, the realization of the future imperatives by the respective governments, the compulsions of multinationals and the riseof private enterprise all are working in favor of China and India. The book will enable both governments and enterprises to think about the challenges of becoming a dominant global force, employability of the youth,issues preventing the rural-urban divide, sustainability, collaborative energy, security, patents and IPR issues. Every citizen of the world must read it.

What indeed jumps out is the new fi rst generation companies emerging from China and India who are now global players. The sheer scale of Brownian movement of entrepreneurs in both the countries is moving the two global economies to operate globally; reading Chindia Rising is like reading a business thriller.

So appropriate is the name of this book, Chindia Rising. I have focused and worked within the Indian and Chinese business communities for three decades, and I have personally seen the growth and the positioning of "Chindia" to accelerate far beyond the expectations of the global community. Dr Sheth continues to identify trends in the global economic landscape and so astutely explains how those trends impact our dailylives. I predict that this book will become a best seller and will continue the significant success that Dr Sheth has had within the global economic spectrum. Dr Sheth so clearly explains this trend of Chindia Rising that a reader can grasp the enormity of this trend while reading his book.
