Huawei Stories: Pioneers
Founded in 1987 by a former engineer in China's People's Liberation Army (Ren Zhengfei), Huawei Technologies is today the world's largest telecoms equipment manufacturer and second behind Apple in smartphones. Its emergence into a multinational with over 175,000 employees all around the world is nothing short of extraordinary. This book gets to the heart of the pioneers within Huawei - the individuals who blazed a trail through unexplored and undeveloped territories, that enabled Huawei to expand globally in such impressive terms. Their personal stories tell us about the extraordinary commitment, determination, and ability required for companies to establish new ground in some of the most difficult parts of the world. This unconventional form of heroism remains a central part of Huawei's culture and makes it stand out in today's business world.

Dedication
In 2012, the Chinese company Huawei Technologies overtook Ericsson to become the world’s largest telecommunications equipment manufacturer, firmly establishing itself on the world business map. Today, it has over 170,000 employees worldwide and in 2014 the company generated a remarkable profit of $5.5 billion.
Whilst research and development and the technology that results from it are core drivers of Huawei’s success, the company’s amazing growth is also determined by its human resource strategy. This is based on a “customer-first” attitude, the belief that obtaining opportunities is through hard work and, above all, “a dedication to do the best in anything we do”. How Huawei promotes this dedication amongst its workforce is the subject of this important book. Through original incentive systems, employee ownership and the mentality to act like a boss, Huawei has managed to create a culture of dedication that has become the bedrock of its growth today.

China’s amazing economic development has led this country to become an unavoidable reference for the business world as well as a continuous source of information and opportunities.
Madrid’s participation in the Expo 2010 Shanghai with its own pavilion marks a historic milestone that will lead to a turning point in this city’s relationship with China.

Garrigues, an international law firm with offices in four continents, including China, is committed to internationalization and, consequently, partakes in this unique project as a “Member of the City of Madrid”, the highest possible level of participation in the event.
Doing Business Safely in China has been written to facilitate foreign business activity in China and has been published with the aim of advancing the internationalization process of all types of companies, as well as the international promotion of both the city of Madrid and Spain.
