Interview with Kai-Alexander Schlevogt on The China Factor

January 2008 - By Dr. Nagendra V Chowdary

“ Emerging markets are attractive, because they offer new outlets for the goods and services of companies from developed countries, helping them to increase top-line growth. At the same time, the bottom line can be improved through savings in the costs of labor and material. In emerging markets, employees often do not enjoy the same rights and working conditions as in developead countries. ”
– Kai Alexander Schlevogt
