[quote=ICEBLUE,256046]An American classmate of mine in the business school in California was an avid reader of Mann's Beijing Jeep when I recommended it to him. After he climbed the corporate ladder in the 1990s, he repeatedly vetoed proposals to enter the China market. He just couldn't forget what a mess Chrysler got itself into in the 1980s with its China investment. Now, he admits he lost big time to his competitors. I figure that what Mann depicts in Beijing Jeep was largely accurate, for example, workers who would gaze at a Sears catalog for hours instead of getting some work done. That was the 1980s and people were curious about things they had never seen. But if you thought what happened in that book portended what would come later, you're probably kicking yourself and cursing the author for losing a golden opportunity. [/quote]
