Book Description
Turn East-West Relations Into Win-Win Situations
China has more than one billion people. That's one billion potential customers. China Now is your must-have guide to this exciting world of opportunity, written by a top corporate advisor and a renowned business professor who specialize in East-West business strategy. Together, Mark Lam and John Graham have worked with dozens of Fortune 500 companies and thousands of American and Chinese executives, and now share with you their most successful strategies, tactics, and insights.
A comprehensive all-in-one tour of the world's fastest growing market, China Now is filled with everything you need to know about China's people, negotiation styles, culture, history, economics, and business dealings. You'll learn how to plan, where to go, and who to visit for the best results. And, unlike other books on the market, you'll discover the key differences between various regions and businesses that could make or break the deal.
China Now includes:
- The best regions to do business
- Nonverbal cues and culture-based signals
- Important travel, meeting, and personnel tips
- Laws and regulations on customs, foreign trade, and investment
- Protecting your intellectual property rights
Even if you've read Sun Tsu's The Art of War, this book will help you master the art of peaceful negotiations-and establish long-term partnerships that profit everyone involved. The advice you'll find here is not only invaluable; it's absolutely essential to the future of your business.
Customer Reviews:
Interesting book worth the read.......2007-09-28
This is an interesting book well worth reading, especially if you are doing business in China or plan to do so.
Excellent guide for business negotiation in China!.......2007-07-05
The book is a page turner. China joined the WTO in 2001. With the upcoming Beijing Olympic Games in 2008 and Shanghai World Expo in 2010, China provided fantastic opportunities for multinational enterprises.
The comparisons on negotiation style between Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese, Hong Kong and Chinese managers, were covered in details. It is the best part of the book. This is a must read for all American CEOs.
With the new leadership, Mr. Hu Jintao as president and thousands of revised laws, China is moving out of the corrupt-country list eventually.
In Northeast of China, 4,000 Japanese companies set up shops in Dalian, Harbin is the little Moscow, and Shenyang got investments from South Korean firms. In 2006 Putin approved the oil pipeline from Siberia to Daqing (an old oil field in China), costing $11 to $16 billion USD. Again, opportunities are everywhere!
A good example was given on GreenTree Inn in Shanghai, a hotel chain established by a Californian Chinese. He suffered much on his dealings with the Chinese government red tapes. But at the end, he prevailed. The three keys to his success are: guanxi, patience and persistence.
US and China needed each other. China is no longer just an export country like Germany. China is quickly becoming a vast market for American and global brand-name products. In China, the 300 million middle-class population, is the ultimate consumer power. This number is increasing every year.
The book provided too much history on the Asian countries and it will be better if more real life success stories are covered.
Good Time to Learn Mandarin.......2007-07-05
Every time I visit Shanghai, I become more convinced that this is the Chinese Century, much as the last century was dominated by America and the 19th Century by Britain. I picked up a copy of this book at Hongqiao Airport en route to Beijing and finished it within days.
The authors clearly know their stuff, and despite repeating themselves throughout the text, present a compelling case for respecting Chinese culture and learning how to conduct business differently than the typical American practices. I found their comments on intellectual property rights to be particularly insightful and convincing. Their argument that China (or any other country) will not be motivated to respect other countries' IP rights until they themselves have IP they want to protect is supported by the history of Taiwan, Japan and the US.
Anyone who wants to do business in China will benefit by reading this book. Since China is quickly becoming our biggest trading partner and will someday soon have an economy larger than the US, learning some Mandarin wouldn't hurt either.
Great information and insight with intriguing statistics.......2007-02-25
Sun Tzu said "Know yourself, know your enemy, and you will win every battle." This book provides the readers with a key to the critical success factors of conducting business in China. It contains much pertinent information to help understand the people and the culture that drive the business culture in China. As a former expat manager in Asia for a major American telecom company, I found incredible knowledge, intriguing numbers, and insight in this book, and I highly recommend this book for anyone that wants to grow their business or career with the Chinese economy.
China Now--For Businessman and Layman.......2007-02-18
China Now is a sweeping and practical guidebook for those intending to engage in the formidable challenge of conducting business activities in China. The authors possess first-hand experience which will benefit entrepreneurs as well as corporate executives. There is ample `hands-on' step-by-step guidance, by region, with an emphasis on negotiation preparation, techniques and styles, and approaches to the drafting of contracts and relevant cultural insights. Extensive discussions regarding intellectual property protection with important historical perspective--harking back to the years when Americans provided very lax protection for IP-- provide the reader with an understanding of the opposing views of today. There is also considerable discussion of the existing International IP agreements and the progress made in this area. The various sectors of China's high technology and research and development are surveyed, along with the expanding harbor and container capacity, power supply and information management systems, and air and ground transportation systems.
A brief review of rural China suggests the possibilities for investment by labor intensive industries in these geographical areas that have not significantly shared in the new Chinese economy. There are summaries of the Chinese governmental structures and legal profession, their functions, powers and interrelationships, formal and informal, with discussions of the consequences for foreign business. Useful anecdotal references are sprinkled throughout.
China Now presents historical and cultural perspectives that are lacking in many public portrayals of the nation. China's unforgotten bitter experiences with foreign powers in the 19th and first half of the 20th Centuries are surveyed. The book also offers a present day assessment of the contentious issue of U.S. impediments to trade with China. The authors emphatically set forth their views of the importance of the unimpeded flow of trade for the promotion of mutually beneficial international relations.
In addition to its value for business investors, China Now affords a very useful set of perspectives for the general reader who wants a fuller understanding of the world's `other giant.' It covers not only the principal sectors of China proper (Northeast China, Beijing and Tianjin, Shanghai, the Pearl River Delta (including Hong Kong) and Rural China), Singapore and Taiwan and their economic relations with China, but also addresses the economic importance of the Chinese Diaspora. Historical, cultural and economic relations between North and South Korea and northeast China are also discussed.
Through a portrayal of the evolving business face of China, and its cultural underpinnings, the book serves as a counterbalance to the customary more-or-less dominant focus on the political and military aspects of relations with China. The general reader will find an informative picture of the extensive involvement of Western and Japanese capital investment and business activities in China, Sino-Russian trade and economic cooperation and the growing South Korean investment in northeast China. The mutuality of international economic interests is made quite clear.
America's understanding of China is too important to be left to business people and political operatives alone. China Now can help to bring such understanding to the general electorate. A phrase appearing near the end of China Now: "China and the United States need each other," states an important premise of the book. If this phrase is true and remains true, it is a basis for optimism.

Book Description
An intellectual property (IP) system was established in China in 1985. Since then, the merits and drawbacks of the system have become apparent in theory and practice. Despite the fact that a great deal has been written about the Chinese IP system, systematic studies of the subject are still scarce, especially from a corporate management perspective.
The book has three aims. It evaluates the problems UK and US multinational enterprises have encountered in their IP Flows into different enterprises in China. It also analyses the causes of these problems and suggests methods of avoiding future problems. The overall rationale for the book is to fill a void in our understanding of IP rights in China, particularly from a corporate perspective. It is important to draw upon a variety of discipline approaches when exploring these issues, which are influenced by the political context, the legislative framework, economic factors and the existence of cultural differences.
The book is composed of ten chapters containing studies of related IP history, previous study on the area, and the current empirical survey. Major findings are discussed in later chapters of the book. In the conclusions, the book provides eleven suggestions for future practice for companies involved with IP flows.

This Annual Review acts both as a record and as a forum for exchanging ideas. Published each year, it identifies key events in European industrial relations, political economy and social policy during the preceding year and invites leading academic commentators from across the EU to assess their significance. The authors, writing in an accessible style, not only discuss current developments but also provide an informed, longer term perspective.The current issue, reviewing the year 2000, focuses particularly on the economic and political consequences of eastern enlargement of the EU. Other topics discussed include the effects of large multinationals on employment relations in Europe, developments in employment relations in central and eastern Europe, and the emergence of a European social policy agenda. The Review also provides a chronicle of events in European industrial relations, employment, human resource management, employment law, economics and politics for the year 2000 and a review of recent publications in the field.
