Digital China Holdings Limited: Managing the Transition from a Product-oriented to a Service-oriented Company
By: F. Warren McFarlan, Guoqing Chen, Kai Reimers and Xunhua Guo
Abstract
Digital China is the largest Chinese independent systems integrator (IBM and HP are larger). Describes their history and their current strategy and invites the student to advise them as to how they should continue to grow in the future. This is the closest China currently has to Infosys and their 7,700-person company is a very interesting, and today, a largely unknown organization outside of China.
