“From January, 1996 until April, 2000, Ms. Meredith was a Detroit correspondent for The New York Times, where she covered the auto industry and other Midwestern news. She spent the 1998-1999 academic year as a Knight-Wallace Fellow at the University of Michigan Business School.

Accolades given to Robyn’s book, “The Elephant and the Dragon.”

Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel Prize-winning economist,calls
The Elephant and the Dragon “an exciting and journalistic account of one of the great economic stories of our time – the transformation of China and India.”

Mike Wallace, 60 Minutes, CBS News, says,
“Every day we hear about the huge percentage of things we buy coming from China and the equally dramatic number of American jobs being outsourced to India. Together, these giants account for more than one-third of the world’s population and although the implications of their rapid industrialization are felt simultaneously; until now each has been considered separately. Robyn Meredith’s systematic analysis fills the gap in a spirited, readable manner.”

Mike Eskew, Chairman and CEO of UPS, says,
“Robyn Meredith totally gets it – globalization is about opportunity. Her story is not just about the remarkable rise of China and India, but the dramatic shifts in global commerce that are impacting virtually all businesses and consumers. Those who are willing to adapt and respond will reap the benefits.”

Ernesto Zedillo, Director of the Yale Center for the Study of Globalization and Former President of Mexico, says,
“Robyn Meredith is a sharp observer of the two fastest growing developing countries. Her fine writing gives us a thoughtful and entertaining account of the challenges and achievements of these Asian giants that, hopefully, will be key propellers of global prosperity throughout the 21st Century.”

Wall St. Journal, says,
“Robyn gets straight to the point of how the simultaneous emergence of these two giants is affecting how the whole world does business.”
