In order to find out if Porter's model had played a part in shaping business practice in the country, Wang and Chang carried out a survey of senior managers and entrepreneurs in China and from overseas.Practical implications–The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world's leading organizations.Originality/ value–The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy‐to‐digest format.
