    内容简介 | Content Outline


    China business is entering a new era: On the one side, business environment has been changing in uncertain direction: Geopolitical tension and lasting China-US trade war produce their shadow on future business development. Companies have to become more lean and agile to cope with the increasing risks in domestic and international markets. On the other side, digitization of the economy is continuing its path of growth also in this second largest economy of the world, which brings new opportunities for companies to increase efficiency and achieve more competitive advantage in a smart way.

    The 2019 Sino-German Controlling Forum has the leading motto: "Controlling 4.0: Efficiency and Digitalization". It aims to provide a platform of information, communication, and experience sharing among both business decision makers and controllers who would like to improve efficiency of their business and controlling practice in a world of increasing uncertainties. Besides interesting keynote speeches by representatives coming from large business groups and small-to-medium-sized companies, participants of this year's Forum will have the opportunity to visit 6 workshops focusing on different topics of controlling and business efficiency improvement.

    We would like to welcome everyone interested in future-oriented controlling and business practice in China to join the largest annual controlling event of Sino-German business community in China. Don't miss the opportunity to exchange your viewpoints and experience with old and new friends in Suzhou on September 20th, 2019! We are awaiting your attendance!

      Special remark:
      The final number of participants of the 2019 Controlling Survey has been revised to 60, as a few more Forum participants submitted their answer after 15:30 on the Forum day, the point of time when the preliminary result of the survey was downloaded and presented  to the plenum. And one submission before 15:30 has been turned out to be ineffective so that it has been eliminated from the result.
