"Applying knowledge is contextual, and doing so in the new context of China is truly innovative. With this outstanding collection of some of the best cases, leading Professors of the China Europe International Business School apply state-of-the-art management concepts and theories to the business reality in China. Great for executives moving to China and students interested in managing in an international environment." --
Rolf D. Cremer, Professor of Economics, Dean and Vice President, China Europe International Business School "China CEO: A Case Guide for Business Leaders in China is a wonderfully balanced set of case studies that the new as well as experienced China manager can learn from. Through its descriptions of and commentaries from expatriates and local Chinese on the case studies, the book provides practical insights and juxtaposing opinions on how business is done in China and what works and does not work in different situations. I strongly recommend this book for anyone interested in doing business in China."--John P. Wong, Chairman, Boston Consulting Group, Asia Pacific
