"Fortune Makers chronicles how a new brand of Chinese business
leaders have thrown off the shackles of the Cultural Revolution and
State-owned enterprises to lead aggressive private companies into
the global business arena. The authors-Cappelli, Liang, Singh and
Useem-provide a fascinating glimpse what makes these CEOs and the
companies they lead tick, while sounding an alarm bell for all
those Western competitors that will need to up their game to be
successful in the future. This is a book that should be required
reading for anyone conducting international business inside or
outside of China."--Arthur D. Collins, Jr., former Chairman and CEO
of Medtronic, Inc., and Managing Partner, Acorn Advisors, LLC
"A lively exploration of the Chinese way of doing business."
--Publishers Weekly
"Fortune Makers provides an extremely interesting perspective on a
new breed of global companies with roots in China. As the chief
marketing officer of Lenovo for four years, I had the unique
privilege to observe and engage in the operations of one such
company. Made me a huge believer in the massive impact companies
like Lenovo will continue to make on the global stage. To
understand how China's great private companies are being directed
and led, this is the book to read."--Deepak Advani, Managing
Director of private-equity firm, Hellman & Friedman LLC, and
formerly Global Chief Marketing Officer of Lenovo and General
Manager of IBM Commerce
"Surprising insights...The authors ably demonstrate how the
once-countercultural practice of capitalism in China remains unlike
the variety practiced in the West. Full of object lessons, this is
a valuable overview for students of international
commerce."--Kirkus Reviews
