Beskrivning

An analysis of Chinese economic and political behaviors from a cultural perspective. Discusses the importance of understanding how the Chinese do business among themselves and with others.Using empirical research data and his first-hand experiences, the author argues that (1) the Fourth Economic Power is truly emerging with mainland China being the center stage, and the Chinese Diaspora being the key players; (2) understanding guanxi (connections), among other things, represents the key to understanding doing business in China; (3) China is not yet ready for democracy; benevolent authoritarianism will most likely define China's political life; (4) China's corruption problem-either of a structural nature or a moral nature-is solvable; (5) education holds China's future; and (6) Chinese family can be the most sustainable resource of the Fourth Power.

Recensioner i media

"Fascinating! The author has a unique perspective and is able to bring special insights to bear on an enormously complex topic. His conclusions and recommendations may be controversial; not everyone will agree. But everyone seriously interested in the future of China will want to read and consider his position." — Randall Harrison, University of California"A very interesting book which merits publication because it's so different in the perspectives it provides, enriching understanding of the range of nuances to Chinese society. I particularly enjoyed chapter 3—which would be very useful to businesses hoping to find markets in China." — Duane Varan, University of Hawaii
