Title: A Handful of the Essays Make the Book
Review: As others have mentioned, parts of the books are indeed dated (well beyond the 2004 publication date) but others offer a very nice introduction to doing business in China and understanding how China's development and history leads many of your counterparts to have a vastly different perspective on doing business (and life in general). While I'd advise ignoring entirely many of the chapters (selling consumer goods in China is pretty different today than ten years ago) the more fundamental and timeless stuff could be a huge help to anyone new to doing business in China and for those handful of essays the book is very worthwhile.
