Along the way, he learns what he really wants out of life and how to get it. A compassionate and intelligent leader, Rich also learns how the tigers of the Western world and the dragons of the Chinese world can come together by developing and cultivating Guanxi.
I’m always interested to see what Rich’s next move will be as he navigates what he calls a ‘China obsession.’

Caught Between the Tiger and the Dragon incorporates humor and suspense by telling a great story of leading while learning in the world of global business.
Very entertaining! This novel gives the reader a truly strategic approach to conducting business in China that includes maintaining the critical elements of customer service, product quality, and trading partner relationships.
