Mobile Monday Beijing | Sailing in turbulence: the mobile CEO’s way | 22 October
+8* China Events Mobile MondayPublished October 16, 2007 at 9:11 pm No CommentsOperating a mobile business in China is not for the faint hearted. This has been repeatedly illustrated on the profiles of NASDAQ-listed value-added service providers during the past two years.
A heated debate is going on between the Ministry of Information Industry (MII) and telecom operators, but WVAS SPs often feel they have to face them both as primary and ’secondary’ regulators, and are left adrift in an increasingly tough sea of changes.
This session #15 of Mobile Monday Beijing on 22 October will look into how mobile CEOs cope with the situation in their day-to-day navigation, and define what is the essence of the CEO’s role:
- how to manage growth or scale back when new policies cut the wind,
- how to generate revenues,
- how to motivate and keep people on board,
- how to handle investors and partners.
