About Me: Understanding and explaining how China and the West relate to each other is my life's work. Started my Chinese Studies major (U. Penn) in '81; graduated + moved to China (Xi'an) in 1985; married into PRC family 1986; lived + worked in China through 2003, when I returned to USA. I have done lots of China business, projects, deals and consulting gigs but I gave that all up in 2008 to build The China Business Network. About The China Business Network: There are literally millions of professionals with careers dependent on China's business ties with the west. I felt compelled to bring us all into a community - where supply and demand for China expertise as well resources on the mindset and knowledge prerequisite to cross border success could be aggregated.
Harvard Business Review Case
Alcatel: Business as an Adventure describes the background and implementation of a $386 million deal to roll 19 operating companies in China, plus a 100-year old firm's entire IP database, into a 50-50 venture with a state-owned Chinese company. As one of the authors, I worked closely with Alcatel to define the case and arrange all interviews, and with the lead author, IMD's Bill Fischer, to draft the final piece.
