The example of a consumer goods company operating in China is insightful because the firm expected to only have one week to decide whether to purchase another firm when the circumstances arose and one was available. The text discusses a U.S. firm that also seems to be leveraging operations in China. For example, this firm designed an inexpensive portable ultrasound scanner. The design team was based in China. What is the firm discussed?
