BEIJING, Oct. 15 (People's Daily Online)- Oxford China Business Forum 2014, sponsored by Said Business School of the Oxford University, was held in Beijing on October 14, 2014. Thought leaders, influential entrepreneurs from Chinese and multinational firms, and senior alumni of the University were invited to discuss the transformational change in China at the forum.

The discussions focused on two topics: "transforming Chinese firms through innovation and entrepreneurship" and "transforming China's state-owned enterprises through governance reform". The speakers talked about both the challenge of shifting development models in China and the challenge of nurturing the innovative and globally competitive organizations that such a change requires.

Peter Tufano, Peter Moores Dean of Said Business School, made the opening remarks.

Cheng Siwei, Dean of School of Management of University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, gave a keynote speech. He explained hot economic issues in China in simple terms, such as the local government bonds, the housing price and the stock market. He also gave an optimistic forecast to Chinese economy.

Among the distinguished speakers, Tang Ning, CEO of CreditEase, shared with the audience his experience of starting up an innovative business in China, and Jin Liqun, Chairman of China International Capital Corporation, explained corporate governance under current economic situation.

The forum is a great success with warm applauses and active responses from the audience.
