Top 100 Most Valuable Chinese Brands 2015

Tuesday, January 27th, 2015

Tencent, Alibaba overtake long-time leader China Mobile to claim top two spots

WPP and Millward Brown today announced the fifth annual BrandZ? Top 100 Most Valuable Chinese Brands, with internet service company Tencent becoming the most valuable Chinese brand for the first time, and newly-listed online retailer Alibaba entering the ranking at No.2. Both brands leapfrogged long-time leader China Mobile, which had held the top spot since the ranking launched in 2011.

The 2015 ranking, carried out by marketing and brand consultancy Millward Brown in conjunction with WPP, clearly shows a rapid rise in the brand value of technology and tech-related retail brands. Technology companies have become brand powerhouses, and as a result the technology category has now surpassed financial institutions as the highest value category ($106.9 billion), contributing 23% of the Top 100’s total value.

Brands from private enterprises (also known as ‘market-driven’ brands) dominate in terms of value growth, rising 97% since 2013, while SOEs (state owned enterprises) declined 9%. Whereas five years ago the Top 5 brands were all SOEs, three of this year’s Top 5 – Tencent, Alibaba and Baidu – are market-driven. Together the three represent around half (48%) of the value of the Top 10, led by Tencent which nearly doubled in value in the past year alone.

The total brand value of the Top 100 Chinese Brands is $464.2 billion, a rise of 59% since the ranking launched in 2011. This growth has outpaced that of the BrandZ? Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brands (+41%), and has also surpassed the most valuable brands in Brazil (which fell 40% in value from 2011-2014) and Latin America (which have grown only 3% since the Latam ranking launched in 2012).

Analysis of the brands in the Top 100 as a stock portfolio proves that investment in brand-building delivers strong shareholder return. Between July 2010 and October 2014 the brands in the Chinese MSCI stock index increased 4% while those in the Top 100 appreciated 32%. (more…)

联想集团出现巨额亏损

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

联想集团“教父”柳传志的重出江湖并未能立刻挽回联想的颓势。昨日,联想公布,其2008/09财政年度第四季亏损扩大至2.64亿美元,全年净亏2.26亿美元,为历来最大亏损,也是联想集团近10年来首次全年亏损。

财报显示,联想集团2008年全年销售额为149亿美元,同比下降8.9%,其中用于重组的费用支出为1.46亿美元,全年股东应占亏损为2.26亿美元,目前其现金储备为11.8亿美元,现金流状况尚保持正常。

去年第四季度,联想集团全球个人电脑销量同比减少8.2%,联想对此的解释是“全球商用个人电脑销量持续减少,以及期内集团在消费市场的参与度有限所致”。联想集团的销量下滑幅度超过市场同期的7%。与此同时,联想去年第四季度启动的全球重组计划也耗费了巨额资金,影响了全年财报表现。

虽然财报难看,但联想董事局主席柳传志依然坚信联想能够及时复苏。“ 过去的两个季度对全球个人电脑行业来说极具挑战,联想以果断的行动来抵御冲击,采取了重大举措以带领业务重回正轨。一直以来,集团矢志在全球走上盈利性增长的轨道,尽管第四季的表现不尽理想,我们深信联想拥有有效的条件朝着目标前进,使联想在市场复苏时成为一家竞争力更强的企业。”

柳传志还表示,“5年之内,联想会从业绩、股价、管理、文化等方面会有根本性的转变。联想每一个战略都有具体的步骤做支持,相信每个季度、每一年都有变化。”

柳传志还在财报发布会上表示,“希望联想能成为中国A股上市公司,并将为此不断努力。如果联想能够成为中国A股成员,我们的客户和投资人会感到非常高兴。”

联想CFO黄伟明随即补充道,公司虽然希望能登陆A股上市,但目前还没有确定的计划安排。

香港全球竞争力排名第二

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

瑞士洛桑国际管理学院(IMD)将于20日公布的2009年全球竞争力报告,美国在57个经济体中依然位居首位,得分为100分;香港坐上第2,首度挤下新加坡;中国大陆则排名20,较去年排名17位有所回落;台湾滑至23名,创下在该排名史上最差的记录。

IMD指出,全球竞争力报告的评比,不是仅关注一国的经济表现,而是该国与企业如何运用总体性的能力,来达到更大程度的繁荣,因此“软性因素”(softfactors)亦被考虑到,包括环境永续、生活质量、科技发展与知识水平等。

该报告的评比衡量标准多达329项,三分之二为确实经济数据,以2008年的历史数据为主,三分之一为意见领袖的问卷调查,终而汇整为总体经济表现、政府效能、企业经营效率、基础建设等四大项。

IMD全球竞争力中心主任贾雷利(StephaneGarelli)指出,全球经济急冻,改变很多国家的竞争力面貌,像爱尔兰从2000年的第5、到08年排名还有第12,今年则掉到第19;因此今年在例行年度报告之外,新增“压力测试”的各国排行,分析各国因应金融危机,以及改善未来竞争力的应变能力,评比项目以今年的经济预测、意见评估为主,结果得出许多的不同,如丹麦高居第1,新加坡居次,中国大陆排名18,中国台湾排21名,美国并没有超越亚太各国。

调查显示,美国排名与去年报告相同,位居首位。香港得分98.1分排行第二,新加坡得95.7分排名第三名。中国大陆则得分76.6分,排名20,中国台湾以总分1点多的些微差距落在后面。韩国上升四名至27名。
