内容简介 Jack Leblanc arrived in China in 1989 intending to teach Physics for just two years. He was to spend the next two decades on a very different learning curve as he became involved in a series of business ventures in almost every part of the Middle Kingdom.

From farmyard to factory, boardroom to banquet, Leblanc witnessed (and occasionally assisted) the transformation of China from a socialist economy into the world's greatest experiment in capitalism.

Over time it dawned upon him that the key to success is to manage the differences in Chinese and Western business behaviour. To do well in China you must carefully adapt your strategies - or face ruin faster than you can learn how to use chopsticks.
作者简介 Jack Leblanc has a Masters in Nuclear Engineering and an EMBA degree from Rutgers University, New Jersey. He has lived and worked in China since 1989.

In 1995, together with his Chinese business partner, a lawyer by profession, he established a firm in China assisting Western and Chinese companies with their legal and commercial endeavours.

Over a period of 19 years he has had the privilege to experience first-hand the initial wave of Joint Ventures entering China, differences in work ethics that complicate co-operation across business cultures, and the metamorphosis of Chinese businesses into top-class enterprises.
编辑推荐 Review
"Business Republic of China provides superb coverage of the challenges, mysteries and sources of success or failure for foreigners doing business in China. Covering a period of almost two decades, it also gives some insight into ways in which business in China has grown up, or failed to, in that time. This is a light and entertaining book that I would recommend to anyone thinking about doing, or just observing, business in China." -- Inside-Out China, November 2008

...rich in practical detail. Leblanc's experiences make for instructive reading for any foreign executive doing business in China. -- China Economic Review, July 2008

Readers unfamiliar with China's business environment, with its odd blend of aspiring capitalists and ruling Communists, may learn much that surprises them. -- Cairns Media Magazine, June 2008
