Author Information

Dr Charles Lee has had a lifelong interest and successful career in global Information Technology businesses. He has a proven track record as a successful venture capitalist, and a 40-year rolodex of cross-border business relationships. He authored Cowboys and Dragons (2003) and, The Code that Changes China (2012, 2014). He founded and chaired the Department of Management of Technology at Peking University (2006–2016). He also served as a visiting/adjunct Professor at National University of Singapore, Zhejiang University and University of Southern California (2002–2014). Dr Lee was a frequent speaker to many MBA/EMBA programs focusing on Entrepreneurship. Born in China (2/18/1940), raised in Taiwan, and educated in the United States, Dr Lee has more than forty years of experience in the Information Technology industry with operating expertise in venture capital, product development, and marketing and general business management on both sides of the Pacific. He has many years of experience in working with young technology entrepreneurs to help them optimize their companies' growth. Dr Lee became the first Asian American Venture capitalist in 1977 and founded Abacus Ventures in 1985 with investors from both domestic US and Far East sources. In 1979, he became the second investor in Steve Job's Apple Computer. Dr Lee attended National Taiwan University (BSCE, 1962) and the University of Minnesota (MSCE, 1965, MSAE, 1967 and PhD, 1969 in Applied Mathematics). Dr Peter Caldwell began a teaching and writing career a bit late, after several decades in business — including being a part of a team taking a high-tech start-up public in the early 1980s. He then began pursuing a long-term interest in Economic History, taking a PhD degree in Economics at the University of Connecticut that was quite interdisciplinary with a special interest in Scottish history, political economy, and philosophy. He completed degrees in English Literature at Dartmouth College (AB) and Tufts University (MA), and a Finance MBA at the Amos Tuck School. During a twenty-year teaching career, he filled assignments at Providence College and several other schools and authored several business books. He and co-author Charles Lee earlier teamed up in producing Cowboys and Dragons, a book on East-West cultural differences affecting business relations. The Rule of Three stands as their first lengthy book together — once more merging their Chinese and American knowledge and insights.
