Looking through Chinese Glasses

Treasure Mountain Consulting teaches businesses to "wear Chinese glasses."

Respect comes from knowing why Chinese are like they are. Many Westerners think all they need is a long list of cultural dos and don'ts, tips and techniques on everything from how to give gifts to who sits where at dinner, negotiating contracts to making invitations. Such tips are important, but unless you know why you should make such changes to your normal behavior you often only change part way.
