The Naples Council on World Affairs will welcome Dr. Warren McFarlan on Monday, February 21st, at St. John the Evangelist’s Kiney Hall at 3:45 and 7:30 pm. He will address the issues that concern Americans with respect to our relationship with China.

Professor McFarlan is the Albert H. Gordon Professor of Business Administration, Emeritus, at Harvard Business School. He earned his AB from Harvard University in 1959, and his MBA and DBA from the Harvard Business School in 1961 and 1965 respectively. He is currently teaching in several short Executive Education programs. He is a frequent traveler to China and published, in 2009, “Chinese General Management: Tsinghua-Harvard Text and Cases”, co-authored with Guoqing Chen. [Available in Mandarin only.]

“China’s remarkable thirty year period of sustained double digit economic growth enabled by a low cost manufacturing export strategy which amassed huge foreign exchange reserves as a byproduct is no longer sustainable. The past is not the future. This very large but still fundamentally poor Country faces very complex constraints today in this time of transition as it seeks to continue to move forward. These constraints include among others its governance processes, environmental degradation, availability of education resources and philosophy, defense investments, and its ability to generate technology competence. Inevitably our lives will be deeply impacted by how these issues are resolved”..
