Master's Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Business economics - Trade and Distribution, grade: 1,0, King`s College London (Lau China Institute), language: English, abstract: In the last decade China’s economic role has changed considerably. The rise of China is concomitant with the emergence of many giant Chinese corporations. Those corporations are dominating rankings of largest companies worldwide. To reinforce their economic position, Chinese companies aspire to build their own global brands, but few have been successful so far. This research paper seeks to provide an in-depth analysis of Huawei’s current brand positioning in Western Europe. To what extent has Huawei been able to create a popular brand? How are Huawei’s smartphones perceived in comparison to other global smartphone brands? How effective is Huawei’s branding strategy? Is the Huawei brand as a Chinese brand encumbered with country-of-origin effects? To answer these questions, the author applied a mixed methods approach comprising of an online questionnaire and interviews, which have been conducted from June to July 2014. The objective of the questionnaire is to depict the big picture of the Huawei brand among Western European consumers, while the interviews aim to explore relevant issues mentioned in the questionnaire. The main findings show that Huawei’s brand is not an established brand at the present moment, but rather is in a transitional stage. Huawei is perceived to have smartphones with an appealing design and sophisticated technological components, but overall lacks strong and succinct associations in comparison to other smartphone brand leaders. In addition, the COO impact and isolated branding approaches result in an ineffective brand strategy, which highlights Huawei’s need for a precise and consistent brand management.

Huawei Goes Global provides a much-needed, comprehensive, and scholarly examination of the business environment and the striving global operations of China’s technology giant. With theoretical research, case studies, data analysis, and empirical studies, this two-volume work tells a fascinating story of internationalization in an emerging economy. As one of the most powerful Chinese companies in the global economy, the largest global telecommunications-equipment producer and a leading consumer-electronics manufacturer, Huawei is a great example of the globalization of the Chinese enterprises in the twenty-first century. In Volume I, scholars critically examine the rise of Huawei as a Chinese global enterprise from the political economy and public policy perspectives, as well as Huawei’s development strategies, innovations, and talent management. In Volume II, multiple authors carefully study the growth of Huawei from regional and geopolitical perspectives, and its corporate communication and crisis management. Within the framework of the trade conflicts between China and the US, controversies over economic sanctions, intellectual property disputes, and espionage and cyber security concerns, this groundbreaking work makes an important contribution to both academic literature and the ongoing public discourse on Huawei.

“Everything you need to know to take your brand global. And going global is not an option today. That's where your future market is going to be.” —Al Ries, author of Positioning and The 22 Immutable Laws of Branding “Filled with vivid, relevant case studies, Luis shows that brand success in tough global markets comes from having deep market knowledge, being lean and agile, creating real, meaningful differentiation, and executing creatively using tools that work. I was impressed by the ideas and guidance from this book and you will be as well.” —David Aaker, vice chair of Prophet and author of Strategic Market Management “Luis shows what it takes to win in an increasingly multipolar world. Spiced with great examples, he brings to life the simple wisdom of what it takes to be locally relevant and globally efficient in building brands.“ —Paul Polman, CEO of Unilever “A must-read for every manager of global brands.” —Gerard J. Tellis, Neely Chair, American Enterprise, and Director of the Center for Global Innovation, USC Marshall School of Business There’s no denying it. Business has become global, yet few people we meet in our everyday lives have any actual international experience to share. Markets are increasingly messy and rapidly evolving. Leaders know that they need to adapt, but they are usually too busy—and they’re unsure about what exactly to change. Lean Brands provides a lean, agile approach to building global brands, helping you 1) quickly analyze your environment; 2) create a differentiated and meaningful brand positioning; and 3) bring your brand strategy to life on the ground, where it counts. You'll learn how to “recon” and take advantage of weaknesses of your competition, as well as hone in on what will work in new markets to make sure you are memorable.

Emerging markets such as China and India have become the growth drivers of corporate research and development initiatives from all around the world. Although there is growing evidence that Chinese companies are shifting their innovation focus from cost saving to knowledge-based research, the view by many in the West remains that companies based in emerging markets are not ready to take over the role of leading innovators from their Western competitors. As a result, Chinese multinationals have been at a competitive disadvantage, particularly in strategic technology industries. What can Chinese multinationals do to overcome Western barriers to entry in strategically important technology industries in which "Made in China" or "Designed in China" are viewed as negatives? What dynamic innovation capabilities - or, put another way, what culturally specific processes - should companies focus on to gain acceptance in the competitive global marketplace? To answer these questions, the author studied Huawei Technologies Company Limited, the Chinese telecommunications company that has recently made significant inroads in Europe's mature and strategically important telecommunications industry, making it a potential role model for companies in China and other parts of Asia hoping to make a similar transition. In Europe, the author notes, Huawei has typically relied on the same strategy it used to build its market position in China. It has (1) offered customized technologies that meet the practical needs and resource constraints of target customers; (2) built customer loyalty by enhancing practical innovation with longer-term joint innovation partnerships; and (3) enlisted the support of governments, universities, and other industry stakeholders by customizing further innovation investments to their priorities.
