Atul insisted on keeping the culture of debt-free and not accepting any external capital (for the past 15 years), however, the company was not doing great during that time. The case described that TEOCO primarily focused on North America telecom carriers, because of globalization, the company needed to expand its business worldwide.

In 2008, the Global Financial Crisis broke out; both the American economy and the economy in the West suffered a hard blow. However, a big economy system in the East emerged unexpectedly. China is now able to challenge the America’s decades-long dominant position in economic area. Started during the middle of 1990s, China’s manufacturing industry developed rapidly that billions of exports were floating out, and China was given the title of “the world’s factory”(BBC). By the end of 2010, China with a GDP of $5.8 trillion, surpassed Japan’s GDP of $5.48 trillion, became the world’s second largest economy system (BBC).
To support the counterargument that China is not an economic threat to Asian stability I will demonstrate how China is experiencing the same economic prosperity and drawbacks as any other Asian state. Case in point, due to surging energy prices, there are increased transportation costs for moving goods from one place to another and the difficulties of a scattered supply chain are encouraging some Chinese firms that had previously outsourced components to Southeast Asia to relocate their associated research-and-development and operational activities within China to other Asian states. Therefore, processing-related imports have declined from over 40 percent of China’s total impor...
Athletic wear has been around for many years. However, Technology was not used in the athletic wear Arena until the late 1990s. The company Under Armour was the pioneer in using technology for athletic clothing. Today, popular companies such as Nike, Reebok and Adidas all have their own athletic wear technology. Additionally, there are now several start-up companies that offer the same quality as the name brands. The most recognizable relationships in the athletic wear space are based on big financial contracts. Agreements between athletic wear companies and high profile universities, athletes and professional teams can be very lucrative for both parties. However, even though the athletic wear industry is as popular as it ever has been,
China has been the fastest growing economy in the last thirty years. Its contributions to the global economic growth are substantial. China is the second largest exporter and holds the largest foreign currency reserve in hand. China's account surplus reached 11% of its GDP as of 2008. All of these successful and positive economic indicators increased the global expectations of China. Even though China was extremely responsive in its own borders, during the 2008 G2 submit, China displayed very low-key appearance in front of the world. Moreover, China was still artificially devaluating its currency to sustain its trade surplus, and increasing unnecessary tax cut/incentives on a large number of goods to encourage the exports to be more competitive in pricing. China’s policies were the great indicators that it did not display enough effort to show its global leadership role.

The China of today is nearly indistinguishable from the China just a generation ago. Where the country primary source of income was split between agriculture and a fragile military industrial complex, now the dynamic has completely shifted as industrial manufacturing coupled with a capable financial sector have catapulted their economy to be, by some measures, in excess of the U.S. gross domestic product. Most economic and political forecasters seriously expect to see China become the direct challenger to U.S. sole superpower status.
