IN THIS SUMMARY
Over the past few years, China has transformed itself into a powerful, consumer-oriented culture, and many Western companies have flocked to China to take advantage of this new marketplace. However, entrepreneurs from the United States and Western countries often fail to realize that transacting business in China is a far cry from making deals at home. Ted Plafker, a Beijing correspondent for The Economist, leverages his extensive experience in Chinese culture and entrepreneurship to offer a primer for newcomers who are planning to expand their business into China. According to his book, Doing Business in China, “As many foreign companies have already proven, success in China is possible, but only for those with the patience, persistence, and resources to see it through.”

We are very pleased to share the full report from our Future of Cities project – now available as PDF on SlideShare and as digital print via Amazon.
As previously shared in PPT format (https://www.slideshare.net/futureagenda2/future-of-cities-2017-summary), this is the detailed synthesis of insights gained from multiple discussions around the world. It brings together views on how cities are changing from a wide range of experts from 12 workshops undertaken over the past 2 years in Beirut, Christchurch, Delhi, Dubai, Guayaquil, Mumbai, Singapore, London, Toronto and Vienna.
Cities are where most of us choose to live, work and interact with others. As a result they are where innovation happens, where most ideas form and from which economic growth largely stems. They are also where significant problems can first emerge and where challenges are magnified.
This report explores some of the common challenges found in urban areas such as managing migration, countering inequality and sustainable scaling; highlights shared ambitions of having healthier, accessible and more intelligent cities; and also details some of the emerging concerns around creating cities that are safe, resilient and open to broader collaboration.
As a compilation of thoughts and ideas from a host of experts we would foremost like to thank all of the many workshop participants for their input. Without your views we would not be able to curate this synthesis. In addition we would also like to thank others who have added in extra content, shared reports and reviewed the core document. We hope that this reflects all your varied perspectives.
Going forward, we also hope that this will be of use to those leading cities, designing new districts, developing policy and exploring opportunities for urban innovation. We know that several cities are already using the insights as stimulus for challenging strategy and stimulating innovation. In addition, linking into to another Growth Agenda driven project looking at the Worlds Most Innovative Cities (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/innovation-hot-spots-countries-vs-cities-tim-jones), this is also being used as part of events designed to help future leaders identify how and where they can make most impact.
As with all Future Agenda open foresight projects the output is shared under Creative Commons (Non Commercial) and so we trust that you may find it useful. This PDF on slideshare can be freely downloaded and shared. If you want to print out the report, the easiest way is to order a digital hardcopy via Amazon (for which they unfortunately charge a fee) but this is a quick and high quality print.

Business Valuation Principles for EntrepreneursBen Wann
This insightful presentation is designed to equip entrepreneurs with the essential knowledge and tools needed to accurately value their businesses. Understanding business valuation is crucial for making informed decisions, whether you're seeking investment, planning to sell, or simply want to gauge your company's worth.
Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

Highlights of projects under review for permitting in 2017:
Former Flower Exchange Site
“Massive office complex could blossom at Flower Exchange site,” Boston Globe, May 2016:
https://www.bostonglobe.com/business/2016/05/26/boston-flower-exchange-redeveloped-into-office-
complex/VBL0qtSD7zgZ97Ng1LKFfL/story.html
“A vestige of Boston’s old economy could soon become a hub for its new economy. The buyers of the Boston Flower Exchange
property Thursday unveiled plans to turn the 5.6-acre warehouse facility on Albany Street in the South End into a tech office
campus they hope could rival Kendall Square in Cambridge, employing as many as 5,000 to 10,000 people. Officials with the
Abbey Group — which transformed the Landmark Center, an office and retail complex in the Fenway, and the old Lafayette
Place Mall in Downtown Crossing — confirmed they are the long-unnamed developers who won a bidding war last year for the
low-slung warehouse and parking lots along the Southeast Expressway.”

“The team spearheading the redevelopment of the former Boston Edison power plant aims to make the future mixed-use site in
South Boston ‘the most spectacular project in the history of the waterfront.’” Ralph Cox, principal with Redgate Real Estate,
presented on the project’s early goals at a community open house Wednesday evening. Redgate is a joint-venture partner with
Hilco Redevelopment Partners on the redevelopment of Boston Edison, a decommissioned power plant at the corner of
Summer and East First streets in South Boston that dates back to 1898.”
