Lessons in Communication
This book discusses the collisions between, and integration of, Western management practices and Chinese culture. With the rise and rapid development of China, foreign direct investment continues to pour into the country. While expatriate managers attempt to implement proven, winning Western management theories in China, they are learning that implementation in China is far different from the techniques used back home. It is vital to have a strong understanding of Chinese culture, history, and norms in order to penetrate the Chinese business market. This timely, relevant book discusses the successes and failures of several dozen foreigners in China as they navigate the emerging business landscape, specifically as related to cultural differences and communication gaps. Further, the book presents several case studies, and aims to provide the reader with insight, value, and a distinct perspective into the rich, Chinese culture that permeates every aspect of life in the country.

Why Taiwan Matters
Now in an updated paperback edition, Why Taiwan Matters offers a comprehensive but compact introduction to a country that exercises a role in the world far greater than its tiny size would indicate. Leading expert Shelley Rigger explains how Taiwan became such a key global player, highlighting economic and political breakthroughs so impressive they have been called "miracles." She links these accomplishments to Taiwan's determined society, vibrant culture, and unique history. Drawing on arts, economics, politics, and international relations, Rigger explores Taiwan's importance to China, the United States, and the world. Considering where Taiwan may be headed in its wary standoff with China, she traces how the focus of Taiwan's domestic politics has shifted to a Taiwan-centered strategy. All readers interested in Asia and international affairs will find this an accessible and entertaining overview, replete with human interest stories and colorful examples of daily life in Taiwan.
