Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - In an era where globalization clashes with local realities, institutional rules wrestle with human judgment, and algorithms threaten to render human instinct obsolete-what is the best way to lead What does real success look like When Marc LaCroix lands in Shanghai as APAC Vice President of a global pharmaceutical multinational, he brings thirty years of Western management and an unshakable belief in contracts, data, and transparent governance. His mandate: bring the China operation into compliance. He lasts forty-one hours before his $42 first deal collapses. Claire Zhou has spent fifteen years building the networks where real China business happens. She doesn't sit at the conference table where formal decisions are announced. She rules the invisible second table-where the actual power moves are made, face is traded like currency, and a single WeChat rumor can destroy what contracts take months to build. She's outlasted three of Marc's predecessors. Between them stands an ambitious strategist who doesn't just deploy algorithmic governance-he weaponizes it. By encoding high-context human friction into mathematical tariffs, he turns the global system's blindness into his personal leverage, positioning himself as the permanent, indispensable gatekeeper of the operational truth. Over seventy-three days-Marc's immersion into a market where nothing works the way headquarters believes it does-three irreconcilable philosophies collide: - Western institutional trust: rules, transparency, accountability.- Eastern relational wisdom: trust, reciprocity, unspoken codes.- Algorithmic governance: data, efficiency, standardization. None will conquer. None will disappear. But which one will define how the world does business.…
