¡@Description
The Lenovo Affair: The Growth of China¡¦s Computer Giant and its Takeover of IBM-PC tells the story of the Chinese company that has raised hackles and alarm in the West by purchasing IBM-PC. The book also has an important subtext: how other companies in China are gearing up to go global. Author Ling Zhijun, a journalist based in Shanghai, was granted unusual access to the company in writing this book. Some of the more unsavoury aspects of business in China are described openly and in riveting fashion. Transparency is not a term that is often applied to Chinese companies: this book goes further than any in telling the story of what really goes on in China.
The Lenovo Affair is written by an insider, not a western observer. If you want an amazing insight into the Chinese business environment, you should read this book.
