APRIL 7:  An Information Industry Update:  Doing Business in China

 

China has become a major player in the global economy and they plan to be a
major player in the publishing industry as well, particularly in science.
They hope to have reforms in place early this year to ensure that weak
Chinese journals are terminated and that those journals judged to be strong
are rewarded with government support such as tax breaks. Scientific
publishing will be concentrated in "five-to-ten large publishing groups"
that will compete with each other, with the objective of turning China from
a large science and technology publisher onto a powerful science and
technology publisher (see article in NatureNews online at
http://www.nature.com/news/2010/100915/full/467261a.html.

 

NFAIS has scheduled a webinar on April 7, 2011 from 11:00am - 12:30PM EDST,
that will provide insights on the following with regard to the information
industry in China: market size, fastest growing segments, government
policies, leadership, publishing companies, size of the market in upper
education, college and university spending, challenges to doing business in
China, opportunities for publishers, current trends. Our speaker will be Dr.
James Chan, Principal and Founder of Asia Marketing and Management
<http://www.asiamarketingmanagement.com/> .  He will have just returned from
a trip to China so you will be getting the most current information
available. And, if you attended the 2008 workshop you know firsthand how
lively, engaging and informative Dr. Chan is as a speaker.   If you or your
