 Leveraging Development: From the Small County Town to Modern Shanghai’s RiseXinwei Cao ()
Chapter Chapter 4 in Strategic Management and Organizational Development, 2025, pp 35-52 from Springer Abstract: Abstract This chapter explores how the rise of cities, historical context, market demand, and innovation opportunities together shape individual and business success. Using Shanghai as an example, the chapter analyzes how urbanization, educational resources, economic development, and cultural atmosphere provided fertile ground for individual success. Shanghai’s openness and diversity fostered the rise of entrepreneurs and scholars, with the success of figures like Qian Xuesen not only reflecting personal talent but also benefiting from the aggregation of city resources. Additionally, historical context and the opportunities of the times played a crucial role in individual achievements, as seen in the rise of Liu Bang and Yang Xiuqing during periods of social turmoil. On the market side, emerging industries and innovative business models rapidly emerged with technological progress and changing consumer demands, providing unprecedented opportunities for individuals and businesses. In conclusion, success depends not only on personal effort but also on the influence of historical, geographical, and market changes.
