One Billion Customers: Lessons From the Front Lines of Doing Business in China,
книга вышла в 2005 году. Автор описывает опыт жизни и работы в Китае, реалии построения бизнеса, наблюдения за экономическими и политическими переменами в стране в течения последних десятилетий. Вполне адекватные. Что характерно, почитать ее нам посоветовал китаец:)
Несколько выдержек:
China’s modernization is aiming at “rule by law” not the “rule of law,” so relationships and personal power reign supreme.
Don’t rely exclusively on the law in China. You will lose. Use laws and regulations to enhance political and business arguments in favor of your position.
Education is China’s greatest strength and greatest weakness. The Chinese are great memorizers, mathematicians and scientists who run tedious routines. But the rote education system leaves many weak on powers of analysis and leadership.
China’s greatest management challenges are to create organizations that are not dictatorships, to treat others as equals, to accept responsibility and to share information, all behaviors that have been almost absent.
Never joint-venture with government entities unless you have no choice. Then understand that this partnership is about China obtaining your technology, know-how and capital while maintaining control.
