“If you want an edge to successful business in China, this is it. ON THE FRONTLINES is a concise, pragmatic, and in-depth picture of China's "not-so-obvious" business practice - peeling off the layers of subtleties and revealing the core. Great insights from the interviewees. From my 13 years of management experience in China, I know that those who understand China's business culture prosper, while those who don't leave themselves open to costly mistakes.

“For anyone who has ever walked out of a business meeting in China and said “what just happened in there?” ON THE FRONTLINES is for you. It is often said that China is a very contextual place- nothing can be properly understood without understanding the context. These tapes take that critical idea and run with it- providing a dynamic introduction to the historical, social, political and economic backdrop in China that colors every commercial interaction. I must admit that I have become a bit numbed by the mini-industry that the “how to succeed in China” books have become, but I found this series to be a breath of fresh air. It’s a very enjoyable, informative and insightful walk through what a businessperson needs to know to make their own decisions and judgments on China, not merely to mimic what others have done.”
-Chip Chaiken, Managing Director for Blue Point Capital Partners Asia
