CKGSB Professor of Marketing Juliet Zhu heads an impressive line-up of speakers from leading global and Chinese companies who will convene to discuss China’s new digital economy, with big data and the government’s Internet+ strategy revolutionizing the industry.
The Internet has become an essential tool for marketing executives globally, where brands that master digital channels are establishing a strong competitive advantage. Meanwhile, China has elevated the game by introducing and integrating the new concept of “Internet+”. As China enters a new digital economy, the government is determined to play a leading role in the information technology revolution. Against this backdrop, multinational and Chinese companies are still identifying the strategies, technologies and methods they need to succeed in this changing environment and whether these can be replicated in other markets.
To address these issues and share best practices, Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business and Millward Brown are co-hosting a forum on “Marketing Transformation in an Internet+ Age.”
At this forum, Millward Brown will also release its unique research results of Insights2020—on which CKGSB is a partner—offering data on marketing challenges, trends and opportunities in China and globally.
