Ch 61: Beijing “er”

Its 2am in Beijing. I am awake looking outside my window now at the aptly named Fortune Plaza, the headquarters of the company I have been working for the last 5 weeks in China as my summer consulting project. We have three weeks left to deliver our final report and presentations. We have a great team and I am confident in our collective abilities to get the job done right.



Working in China has been both a relief and a great learning experience. It’s been a relief in the sense that I know better what to expect out of myself if I am to be effective in China. I am also happy to know that classes I enjoyed such as Professor Mari Sato’s International Business and Professor Eric Thun’s Business in China have great practical application to both the Chinese business environment and our particular project. The learning experience is a daily blessing. Every day I continue to learn more about the local operating environment and more importantly to learn more about myself in the process.
