Pick of the week: November 5, 2010
Hello from Inside!
Actually I picked this a few weeks ago, but here is this week’s feature…
Carnegie Mellon University
Learning: Carnegie
Kai-Fu Lee Lecture: Google in China
http://iuniv.tv/top/episode/eid/2469/pid/214Carnegie Mellon alumni, then-Google Greater China president Mr. Lee gives a one-hour-plus lecture about how GGC tackles the Chinese market, which is very unique from a so-called ‘western’ standpoint. (Note: He left Google in 2009) This lecture seems to have taken place before Google moved to Hong Kong, but still gives us great ideas of how to understand a foreign market and to conform the system friendly to local people. Also remarkable is Mr. Lee’s great sense of humor here and there :-) A person like him can bridge the gap between two different cultures!
For those who understand the Chinese language, here are his Twitter and blog:
