Book Reviews of Mr. China: A Memoir
Book Review: A must-read for all curious about doing business in China
Summary: 5 Stars
Doing business in China is certainly not for the faint-hearted, as thebook tells, all so vividly. Don't expect order, as there is none. Anddon't expect to gain an advantage over the locals unless you've masteredthe art of thriving in utter chaos. Yet, at heart, the Chinese are justthe same as any other people in the world. I think this is what theauthor is trying to get across.It's not about offering advice - as there's no panacea to success inChina, but it gives one an idea of what to expect and be prepared to seewhy things are done differently, though the situations described mightsomehow be more extreme than others as they relate to joint ventures,which are more or less a thing of the past.
Despite the seriousness of the subject, the book is very readable andhighly entertaining.
I would recommend it whole-heartedly to anyone who is interested in doingbusiness in China.
