Al-though a leading vendorin China, ZTE has beencontinuously doing busi- ness in a prudent and practical way,which has been recognized by govern-ment authorities, carriers and customers.In order to learn more about ZTE’s NGNdevelopment strategy,we interviewedChen Jie, ZTE’s vice president and gen-eral manager of Network Division, aboutZTE’s NGN development strategy, R&Dadvantages and progress.展开更多

Strategic management tools such as scale index-market growth rate matrix (S-M matrix), industrial attraction-corporate strength matrix (I-S matrix), market growth rate-market occupancy matrix (G-O matrix), and life cycle-competitive position matrix (L-C matrix), were applied in the MAAE-DSS with its own data base (DB), model base (MB), method base (MeB), and knowledge base (KB), in order to support the management bureau in the formulation of M&A strategies.展开更多
