Meeting the Dragon: strategies of Chinese companies in Spain and Latin America

From http://www.casaasia.cat/actividad/detalle?id=208763 (in Catalan)

On Tuesday, Jan 15th 2013, Casa Àsia headquarters in Barcelona will host a workshop devoted to learning about the strategies of the Chinese companies that have moved to Europe and Latin America during the last decade. The representatives of companies from these areas are aware of the opportunities and challenges that these investments represent, so it is important to know them and assess them in detail.

This workshop will be based on the work "Tejiendo redes: estrategias de las empresas transnacionales asiáticas en América Latina" (Buenos Aires, UNTREF, 2012), which helps to understand the approach of Chinese companies to two different markets: Argentina and Spain.
