China Macro Group (CMG) is a specialized European management consulting and research firm providing original, fact-based and calibrated China research and analysis to support strategic decision-making of international business and investors on the Chinese market, companies and tech capabilities. Against the backdrop of China's distinct political system and its stated pursuit for continued socio-economic development towards a ‘modern, technologically advanced, and prosperous country’ by mid-century, CMG conceptualizes China’s ‘socialist market economy’ as a political economy that is concurrently undergoing six structural transitions, namely: economic transition and industrial upgrading, market-oriented reforms, economic globalization, ‘domestic demand system’, social rebalancing, and “de-risking”. This conceptualization has enabled us to better calibrate our advice especially on business strategies and management decisions of high materiality and that look at longer time horizons. CMG as a professional service firm puts clients first and makes big strides to tailor its services to complex client needs, contribute complementarily to existing expertise and interact effectively with international headquarters and their subsidiaries in China. CMG strives for its services to be value-adding, creative and practical consulting contributions for decision-making of international business. It is cross-cultural on all levels and draws on talent that combines independent, analytical and rigorous thinking with relevant thematic expertise and strong command of Chinese language. CMG’s original working methodology is thus characterized by: - a China InsideOut vantage point - a development and reform “mindset” to look at the Chinese market structurally - a combination of three consulting capabilities: business, policy and strategy, drawing on interdisciplinary talent and experience - holistic analytical lenses, to cover macro, meso and micro factors relevant for a business or investment decision - a cross-cultural, strategic and conceptual capacity to translate our “China analysis” into inputs for discussions of international executive and governance bodies - 10 priority business sectors served With our value proposition and our original working methodology, we seek to contribute to sustainable collaboration with China.
