Description: "A Western businesswoman in China confronts all the obstacles her male counterparts do. But the challenges in China for a woman on business are unique. In addition to covering crucial business-related protocols, this book also provides essential insights for women only: how to make sure your authority is recognized, how to avoid social awkwardness, how to rise above traditional gender-based distinctions to lead your team, close the deal, and build vital, long-term relationships." "Scattered throughout is advice from key executive and entrepreneurial women who have already succeeded in China, representing retail, high tech, manufacturing, services, government, and tourism at all managerial levels. There are also chapters on women in China - their history and current status - to help you understand the historical context of the challenges you face (and how things are slowly changing for the better)."--Jacket.
