Top 10 Chinese business stories for SeptemberPosted by Joel Martinsen, October 23, 2005 4:48 PM
![]() Dae Jang Geum: the hit Korean drama, a moneymaker despite questionable historical accuracy. From The Economic Observer's monthly Academe supplement for October comes this list of September's top-ten events in the world of commerce. Each month The Economic Observer Research Institute conducts a survey of experts, as well as voters in an online poll, to determine the top ten business stories. The top online poll results were Dae Jang Geum and International Oil Acquisition, each with 75% support. The judges, analysts, professors and executives in the business sector, also mentioned the maturation of mobile communications, IP suits, e-wallets provided by Bank of Communications and Shanghai Mobile, Lenovo's latest move with IBM PCs, and the Dongfeng-Citroen auto financing company.
The same supplement also rates 72 Chinese accounting firms according to trustworthiness and finds 32 "lacking trust," 35 "untrustworthy," and 5 "extremely untrustworthy," with scores ranging from -400 to -1450, where 0 is "trustworthy" and down to -300 is "relatively trustworthy." Links and Sources
