The school has provided me with the question for my coming exam, hence I would need a model answer for the question in order to practice and memorize before I sit the exam. Please note that this is the exact question that will come up. The key readings are listed in the file.
The module is: East Asian Business in the Global Economy.
The exam question is
Discuss the early development and characteristics of China’s qiye jituan business groups. How do they operate today?
And the minimum required for this exam question is
A good knowledge of East Asian business group development in a country example (China, for example: are there large diversified groups in China? Have they grown quickly? Have the governments’ policies been successful? What kind of policies were used, and so on).
An industry example (we look at the auto industry in detail: what has happened to the global industry and what are the implications for East Asian businesses).
An understanding of the diversified business group. Why do such groups emerge and what are the difficulties such groups may face today?
China on the eve of reform
Policies to create qiye jituan
Break up regional autarky, rigid labour, unreliable factor markets, consolidation
State ownership and group organisation
Rise of SASAC

Try to use examples and data
We never expect you to recall exact data like some sort of human parrot
Some data (order of magnitude) and examples distinguishes the excellent from the good and the ‘so so’ type answer
