I took Professor Zhihong Chen's Business Chinese and Culture course at Cornell University in 2006 and still remember her class vividly after so many years as she was an extraordinarily dedicated and creative professor. The Chinese language and business knowledge I learned from her class has had a big impact on my career development after graduation. I highly recommend this book as it shows a culmination of her teaching and research accomplishments over a decade. * Meng Xiong Kuok, VP of Shangri-La * This is a wonderful collection of cases, documenting Chinese companies' encounters with the world and the experience of foreigners doing business in China. It is a highly instructive book for anyone who wants to understand Chinese business both at home and abroad. And publishing it bilingually gives a further opportunity for both Chinese and foreigners to acquire language skills while grasping the essentials of business in China. * OA Westad, Harvard University * The contest in the Chinese market between Taobao and the American ecommerce giant eBay marked an important milestone in the history of Alibaba's early development and serves as a classic in business case studies. My thanks to Professor Zhihong Chen for her narration and analysis of this case and for making it the first chapter of the book. Her Chinese-English bilingual presentation makes this case accessible to readers all over the world. It is with great pleasure that I strongly recommend this book. * Jack Ma, Founder and Executive Chairman of Alibaba Group *
