Jim Owens
Chairman and CEO of Caterpillar Inc.
"In the last 30 years, China has transformed itself from a minor player into one of the major engines driving the global economy. Success in China is a critical part of Caterpillar's long-term strategy. For many years, Caterpillar has worked closely with The Conference Board in the US and around the world and it has been a valuable asset in helping us better understand the factors impacting our business. That is why we are deeply involved with The Conference Board in China, where so much is at stake for our company and the global economy."
The Conference Board in China
The Conference Board's programs and activities in China are designed to help senior decision makers in both global and Chinese companies navigate the complex, dynamic economic and business climate in China.
