Why do so numerous foreign businesses struggle in China? Is China re-inventing capitalism? Is China competing unfairly? Is America wrong about Democracy when it comes to China? Are we in the midst of the “Chinese Century?” “What can we find out from China?”

Author and foreign business strategist Daniel R. Joseph explores these questions and other people in his new book, The China Learning Curve: Critical Differences available via Amazon beginning November 3, 2014. The book examines the most important approaches in which China is different from developed nations and how those differences impact how company is carried out in China and how China is most likely to develop and develop.

The China Learning Curve follows Mr. Joseph’s internationally acclaimed 1st book, Wen and the Art of Doing Enterprise in China, heralded by China Enterprise Assessment as “mandatory reading for foreigners sent to perform in China and these who dispatch them there.”

“It’s far more than just a business book,” stated Daniel Joseph. “I wanted to focus on problems that are frequently overlooked, particularly China’s culture and economic structure, and how they are various from countries like the US. These aspects effect business in a important way, so it is natural to clarify how foreign organizations need to adapt to China’s variations. But culture and financial structure also have a huge effect on items like economic growth and the improvement of democracy, so I address these subjects as properly.”

All readers will appreciate Mr. Joseph’s strategy to his subject. “I’ve been mugged, robbed and hustled in China. I’ve survived sand storms, hotel fires, and state-sponsored espionage. I’ve eaten scorpions, ants, live fish, dried blood and animal parts I would not feed to my neighbor’s cat.” This excerpt from the book’s introduction hints at a special aspect of the book. Even though it deals with high-level concepts, The China Learning Curve: Essential Differences also incorporates a huge number of firsthand experiences and examples that serve to make concepts a lot more tangible and relatable and to make the book more engaging and entertaining for readers.

Mr. Joseph is able to create from this viewpoint since of roughly 12 years he spent living and functioning in China, considerably of it in far more remote locations like Datong, Xuzhou, and Changzhou, overseeing business operations for U.S. firms including Westinghouse, Kennametal, and Axcess Manufacturing. Mr. Joseph has consulted for more than 200 foreign firms with enterprise operations in China and most not too long ago served as China Advisor for the International Advisory Group at PNC Economic Solutions Group, the 6th biggest bank in the United States.

In addition to consulting, Mr. Joseph is a dynamic speaker and has presented at more than 30 seminars and lectures on China. Daniel Joseph has earned degrees in International Economics and Finance at Georgetown University and in Mechanical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University.
