Today China is a critical player in the global marketplace, but there is still widespread confusion about what really makes the country tick - even the Chinese have difficulty explaining their own "Chineseness" to outsiders. In What Chinese Want, China expert Tom Doctoroff posits that China’s distinguishing traits explain the country in profound ways, including:
*Connection to History: For thousands of years, the impulses and conflicts within Chinese civilization
have driven its people’s behavior and choices. More than any other nationality, they are driven by their past history as much as by their intense focus on the future. This manifests itself in a profound belief in their country's stability and an intense national pride that often drives business decisions.
*A Complex View of Morality: As evidenced by their sticky human rights issues, rampant piracy, and
endemic government corruption, the Chinese have a significantly higher tolerance for certain things the
West would consider wrong. Doctoroff puts these differences in context so that the reader can understand their nuances and impact on business and international relations.
*Family Over the Individual: Whereas in America the individual is a prized source of originality, freewill, and consumer choice, in China the focus is squarely on the family and the larger society. This difference can be seen in the educational system, entrepreneurial activity, and many other key aspects of Chinese society.From the new generation’s embrace of Christmas to the secrecy of industry titans; from the government’s meticulously incremental approach to currency appreciation to the middle class’s fixation with luxury brands, Doctoroff explains the mysteries of modern China for those looking to enter the market in a culturally sensitive and effective way.
Mr. Doctoroff is the author of "What Chinese Want: Culture, Communism and China's Modern Consumer" and is the North Asia director and Greater China CEO for J. Walter Thompson, whose clients include Starbucks, De Beers and Renren.
看外国人吐槽很欢乐啊
评分作为一朵奇葩,我觉得我灰常有必要读这本书,了解为嘛自己在这片土地上如此强烈地水土不服。当然这本书更多是针对于广告和消费者市场,而不是个人感悟或者历史文化的。但是对于从西方的角度来了解中国老百姓的想法还算可以。不过我不太喜欢作者的潜词造句,太太太别扭了,简单的概念拐弯抹角地说出来,有时候要读第二遍才知道他说了啥。对中国生活的描述有些夸张,不过也是从老外角度常看到的现象,那个弄堂里的人居然要他帮忙付房租真是有够得寸进尺的!表以为老外都是傻钱袋子好伐!中国人的不安全感,集体主义,实用主义,功利主义,追求和平稳定,牺牲自我顾全大局,等级分明,埋没创造力和创新,山寨一切拿来主义,对现状忧心又不免对未来充满希望,北京奥运和上海世博的中国集体梦。我想,我无法融入大概是我觉得个人大过这些集体历史民族吧。
评分浅显但不浅薄
评分Insightful for the westerners, interesting for us Chinese.
