China: from copycat to frontrunner
You've probably heard of WeChat or Alibaba, but are you aware of how these platforms are inventing and influencing the future of retail? One thing is certain: China is innovating at such a high speed that you can question the Western way of innovation. John Lin takes you to China in his lecture and explains the importance of digitalization, among other things.
China challenges our way of innovation
China has been innovating extremely hard in recent years, but doing so with a very different philosophy than the West. Where we are commercially driven here, China is "need" driven. John Lin explains in his lecture what this means for us and what we can learn from it.
