In 2007 Criticaleye Afiliate, Accenture, conducted a study into whether some Chinese enterprises obviously outperformed their peers in terms of revenue growth, profitability and total shareholder returns.

In 2008 China’s economic reform effort came to a critical juncture as benefits from reform diminished and the country’s competitiveness eroded. The global financial crisis in 2009 has added new dimensions and perspectives to Accenture's research. As a result, their 2010 research has focused on these four areas:

• What impact has the crisis had on Chinese enterprises?
• Given the magnitude of the crisis, do high-performance Chinese businesses still exist?
• How are high-performance businesses in China coping with the crisis?
• What lessons can Chinese enterprises learn from the crisis?
