18 months ago, I enrolled in an Executive MBA program at St. Joe's University in Philly. As part of the educational experience, the program has arranged for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get a look at Chinese business from the inside - or, more properly, multi-national businesses as they operate in China. We've got 10 days, with three cities to visit - Beijing, Suzhou and Shanghai. We'll visit such diverse companies as NBC Olympics, Lenovo, Wal-mart and Bristol-Myers Squibb.
And, yes, there will be opportunity for sight-seeing and cultural immersion. We'll visit the Forbidden City, the Great Wall and the newly constructed Olympic village. Oh, and let's not forget Shanghai's breathtaking harbor. Bonus: I get to share it with 44 really interesting people I've gotten to know in the last 18 months.
So, here goes... If you come along via this blog, we'll do our best to make it worthwhile.
As added value, I've included some tools on this page for your use, including an English-Chinese mp3 dictionary, a weather comparison tracker (both below), a track of world markets, and the ubiquitous Google search tool (both at right).
