Goldman Sachs vs. Chinese Banks

Some may argue that there is no right or wrong answers, western world has previously a 'proven model' but since credit crunch, we may have observed that the model might be broken in various ways. China is so unique that it might be a perfect ground to have a 'new banking/trading model' devised. may we live in interesting time. @GarethWong

We at CXO Europe/Asia would like to tackle this in conjunction with other top charity organisation like ACEVO and others to get to the bottom of this.

It would be rather interesting indeed.

Apple in gaming? So where are the deals? (Dealscape - Technology)

Hardware is only part of the jigsaw. Apple has now got both cult/avant-garde AND mass market following at higher price tag. Given the success of app store (pseudo-micro pricing + developer community), it is some would argue that it has the perfect platform to be leveraged to launch some proper community gaming with or without competing with consoles (as we know it). Despite not an apple user, I am looking forward to now (hopefully fully recovered) new Steve Jobs. @GarethWong

Apple's big challenge is not Spotify but China | Opinion | New Media Age

Indeed, it is general view that 'he who wins over china, will win the world'.

yes, it is a big market, but China has and play to its own rules, rightly or wrongly. Knowing its own market size, and iron grip on regulations and hence can dictate and has enough market to have its own variants of standard(s), why play to the western tunes when China can have its own 'instrument'?

in this instance, China should be considered as a different market and no doubt a new rules/market leader will be formed, on business model/value chain and maybe we can also observe different consumer behaviour.

however, whether or not these would also be translated to rest of the world? time will tell.

My comments on Strategy is the key / we are social

Strategy is the key / we are social

good post thanks.

I do go to spain (Madrid/barcelona) few times a year for mostly non Web2.0 business (finance/insurance/remote gaming/& networking with top CXOs)

my limited observation is that the 'culture' is very different.

there are still limited number of people walking around with ipod yet, and people are still enjoying chats at the jamon bar/pubs

and most importantly, they READ on the train, in shades (where ever you can find) etc. proof: http://flic.kr/p/6FDSUx

I don't spend enough time there to know what people in private lives in front of the computer, but I also know another fact that they are in fact not technophobic, as a lot of non spainish don't know, spain and portugal is one of the most advanced EU country which people transact not on pc/mobile/tv but via bank's ATM.

So, in short, adapt to the local culture/habits, Web2.0 will still be applicable but maybe not as we know it in rest of europe or even the world.
