“Doing Business in China for Dummies®” was co-authored by Chicago-based China expert Rob Collins.
Collins is one of America’s most authoritative sources on China’s business, culture and etiquette. Collins lived in China for 12 years where he was an officer for the American Chamber of Commerce in China. Collins is currently an international marketing executive with 25 years of China experience. He predicts that Mandarin will be the next business language of the future, alongside English. To that end, all three of his children speak Mandarin, and he opines that Mandarin should be mandatory learning in every U.S. school today. “Fifty thousands students are learning Mandarin in the U.S. today. If you want your children to be competitive in the global economy, ensure they are learning Mandarin now.”
According to Collins, the new book demystifies doing China business. “It’s especially useful for small-to-medium-sized businesses that cannot afford to fail in China.”
Collins’ new book was released in bookstores nationwide and internationally in August 2007 and is available at bookstores and online or via Rob Collins’ website: http://www.DoingChinaBusiness.com
