Chinese for Business Leaders is a constituent part of the award-winning Chinese in Steps textbook series. It differs significantly from other China-focused business textbooks as it meets the needs of business leaders - present and future - by providing a strong and practical cultural foundation to effectively approach Chinese business issues. The first book - Chinese for Business Leaders I - provides an introduction into the social and economic background of Chinese business, and Chinese for Business Leaders II delves into both the cultural traditions and contemporary practice in Chinese business.
