About the Author

Belgian native Jack Leblanc has a Masters in Nuclear Engineering and an EMBA degree from Rutgers University, New Jersey. He has lived and worked in China since 1989.

In 1995, together with his Chinese business partner, a lawyer by profession, he established a firm in China assisting Western and Chinese companies with their legal and commercial endeavours.

Over the past 20 years he has had the privilege to experience first-hand the initial wave of Joint Ventures entering China, differences in work ethics that complicate co-operation across business cultures, and the metamorphosis of Chinese businesses into top-class enterprises.
