On Thursday, September 11, IGP will host a webinar with Patrick McGee, the author of “Apple in China.” This well-researched book tells the story of Apple’s symbiotic relationship with manufacturing companies in China – how it evolved, what it accomplished, and what currently threatens it. McGee is a business journalist who spent years researching the book, drawing on numerous inside sources at Apple that document not only the growth of a global digital industry but also many of the operational and policy bumps along the way.
McGee’s book addresses one of the central digital governance issues of our time: the globalization of supply chains and markets and its implications for economic growth, interdependence, and national security. Join us in this open discussion of his findings and their policy implications.
