Article Abstract:

Nortel Networks Corp.'s well-established Chinese unit is blessed by the fact that it is not facing the same kind of media pressure as it faces in North America regarding its struggle with governance and financial challenges. However, the company knows that if it wants to compete in the Chinese market, it needs to have research and development (R&D) capabilities to address the Chinese-specific product requirements.
