Blue Book of China's Commercial Sector (2014)

The year 2013 is seen as a year of change for China. The country's new leadership has announced a series of social

and economic reforms that places greater emphasis than ever before on market forces. The reform programs are

expected to have significant implications for commercial enterprises, domestic and foreign alike, when operating

in China. In Blue Book of China's Commercial Sector (2014), the National Academy of Economic Strategy (NAES) of

the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) and the Fung Business Intelligence Centre jointly present

a comprehensive account of the latest developments in the commercial sector of China. Starting with the

macroeconomic background of domestic consumption in China and recent pricing trends, the Blue Book provides

in-depth analyses of the different industries including retailing, wholesale and distribution, logistics, e-commerce,

and catering. Popular topics such as online retailing, luxury market, department store and retail logistics in China

are also covered.
