Asian Mind Game - Chin-ning Chu

Descriere Asian Mind Game - Chin-ning Chu

This is the first book to reveal secret of the Asia psyche that influence behavior in business, diplomacy, lifestyles, and basttle. Americans seldom realize that Asians regard the marketplace as a battlefield, but now successful East-West trade consultant Chu tells how Westerners can defend their interests by playing the same game. \nThis book, by East-West marketing consultant Chin-ning Chu, is must reading for any Westerner in business, government, or academia who negotiates in the Orient or wants to. \n It is the first to reveal to Westerners the deep secrets of the Asian psyche that influence Asian behavior in business, politics, lifestyle, and battle. \n Ms. Chu points out that Asian mind games have become so finely tuned over the centuries that Americans seldom realize that Asians view the marketplace (and by extension, the world) as a battlefield, and act accordingly. \n She has extracted the principles of successful negotiations from centuries-old Chinese texts that have influenced all of Asia, and provides her readers with examples of their application in the modern world. \n In the Western world, the ability to formulate cunning and subtle strategies for getting your own way in business, politics, and everyday life is regarded as a matter of intuition.
