Summary

This book provides an in-depth analysis of the key characteristics of Chinese CEOs and their implications for Chinese enterprises going global. The analysis is based on rigorous empirical research that studies how Chinese CEOs have dealt with specific business situations in the Chinese and international market. It also draws upon first hand survey data from Hay Group's top management team. Insights from this book shed light for western companies who are facing intensifying competition from Chinese companies, or who are partnering with Chinese companies. The book offers a very rare opportunity for a western audience to know China and its business leaders. Real Chinese CEOs provides practical tips on how to manage Chinese as counterparts and possibly as future bosses. After a two-year empirical study of over 40 leading CEOs in China, Hay Group authors offer inside stories and analysis of Chinese CEOs that will help you gain a better understanding of the Chinese business environment and practices. For those who would compete or partner with Chinese business leaders, or those who just want to know about China or Chinese economy and business, this is an informative and insightful book.
