Mr. Doctoroff is the author of "What Chinese Want: Culture, Communism and China's Modern Consumer" and is the North Asia director and Greater China CEO for J. Walter Thompson, whose clients include Starbucks, De Beers and Renren.
Today China is a critical player in the global marketplace, but there is still widespread confusion about what really makes the country tick - even the Chinese have difficulty explaining their own "Chineseness" to outsiders. In What Chinese Want, China expert Tom Doctoroff posits that China’s distinguishing traits explain the country in profound ways, including:
*Connection to History: For thousands of years, the impulses and conflicts within Chinese civilization
have driven its people’s behavior and choices. More than any other nationality, they are driven by their past history as much as by their intense focus on the future. This manifests itself in a profound belief in their country's stability and an intense national pride that often drives business decisions.
*A Complex View of Morality: As evidenced by their sticky human rights issues, rampant piracy, and
endemic government corruption, the Chinese have a significantly higher tolerance for certain things the
West would consider wrong. Doctoroff puts these differences in context so that the reader can understand their nuances and impact on business and international relations.
*Family Over the Individual: Whereas in America the individual is a prized source of originality, freewill, and consumer choice, in China the focus is squarely on the family and the larger society. This difference can be seen in the educational system, entrepreneurial activity, and many other key aspects of Chinese society.From the new generation’s embrace of Christmas to the secrecy of industry titans; from the government’s meticulously incremental approach to currency appreciation to the middle class’s fixation with luxury brands, Doctoroff explains the mysteries of modern China for those looking to enter the market in a culturally sensitive and effective way.

波士頓谘詢公司近期發布的報告稱,目前介於中産階級和超級富豪之間的中國富裕階層人口已經達到1.2億,其年均購買力5900億美元。他們進一步預測,到2020年,中國的富裕階層這一消費群體將達到2.8億人,其未來的消費潛力也將更為強大。 中國的消費者(尤其是中上階層)滿世界...

獨立的37小節,相當於一個連載專欄,chapter基本是無意義的劃分,讀起來增加記憶和建立體係的難度,特彆還充斥GRE式的錶述。涵蓋麵廣,對很多問題的分析深度超齣瞭作為中國人的預期,但也同樣存在過度詮釋和牽強附會,比如八卦陰陽這種看似地道卻又虛無縹緲的東西,能被外人濫用於解釋中國的一切,於是也就什麼也不能解釋。emblazon 是個好詞

評分作為一朵奇葩,我覺得我灰常有必要讀這本書,瞭解為嘛自己在這片土地上如此強烈地水土不服。當然這本書更多是針對於廣告和消費者市場,而不是個人感悟或者曆史文化的。但是對於從西方的角度來瞭解中國老百姓的想法還算可以。不過我不太喜歡作者的潛詞造句,太太太彆扭瞭,簡單的概念拐彎抹角地說齣來,有時候要讀第二遍纔知道他說瞭啥。對中國生活的描述有些誇張,不過也是從老外角度常看到的現象,那個弄堂裏的人居然要他幫忙付房租真是有夠得寸進尺的!錶以為老外都是傻錢袋子好伐!中國人的不安全感,集體主義,實用主義,功利主義,追求和平穩定,犧牲自我顧全大局,等級分明,埋沒創造力和創新,山寨一切拿來主義,對現狀憂心又不免對未來充滿希望,北京奧運和上海世博的中國集體夢。我想,我無法融入大概是我覺得個人大過這些集體曆史民族吧。
評分敏感詞、敏感事,一個都沒落,滿目皆是。這次不是中文版遭刪節,而是肯定齣不瞭中文版瞭。
