China Macro Group (CMG)

China Macro Group (CMG) is an innovative European research and management consulting firm specialized in original, fact-based and calibrated China research and analysis to advise European corporate and investment sectors focusing on management issues shaped by China’s evolving political economy and geoeconomic developments, ranging from strategy, footprint/organizational design, HQ-subsidiary interactions to strategic partnerships and negotiations. CMG seeks to effectively integrate the four analytical lenses of business administration, market, public policy and international affairs. 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 market governance, and economic security. This conceptualization has enabled us to better calibrate our advice on corporate strategies and management decisions of high materiality and that look at longer time horizons. CMG is a professional service provider that puts clients first and makes big strides to tailor its services to complex client needs, contribute complementarily to existing expertise and interact effectively with headquarters in Europe and subsidiaries in China. CMG strives for its services to be value-adding, creative and practical consulting contributions for decision-making of European business. It is partnership-led, 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. Currently, CMG operates with presences in Munich, Zurich and Beijing.
